Nail Colors for Spring/Summer 2013

via Harpers Bazaar
Kati asks:
"Do you have any thoughts on the spring/summer nail color for this year? I'm guessing that matte gray will be pretty gone by then, but not sure what the up and coming new color will be... I was wondering if it was green, since that you mentioned that being color of the year, but don't really know how much those things correspond... I will be really interested to hear your thoughts!"
Based on what was seen on the runways at New York Fashion Week as well as general trend reports, the nail colors that are in for spring and summer include a little something for everyone:
  • Pale: Blush pinks, nude, putty, light gray, white
  • Pastel: Lavender, mint, periwinkle
  • Dark: Navy, purples, charcoal
  • Metallic: Gold, copper, pewter
Also on trend: Glittery accents, edgy accents, and two-tone manicures.

In general: One way to be stay on top of nail color trends is either visit your favorite nailpolish brand's website and see what their current collection features, or even check out their drugstore display for the colors they're promoting as new for the season. Most likely, those are the colors that will be on trend. Overall, though, nail color tends to be one of those things where if you love a particular shade, just go for it! Maybe you'll even start a trend!

What colors are you going to try this spring/summer? I'm going to go for some darker shades to mix it up!
