NAILS | Like A Virgin: 2014 Spring Summer Nail Trends

Spring is fast approaching in the Northern hemisphere and with it an inevitable change in colour palettes that will be dictating the season's trends. (On a side note, I always feel a little strange being in the tropics and following seasonal global trends, when generally, it's summer here all year round!) The Spring/Summer 2014 catwalks were predictably awash with soft, subtle hues. And the colours on the fingertips were no exception: fresh whites, pale pinks, soft browns.

Fellow nail art lovers, don't despair. You can still get away with some pizazz, but keep it grown up and demure. A thin stripe here, a half moon mani there. I'll definitely be working in a nude/glitter combo onto my tips in the next couple of weeks.

I've rummaged through my nail polish hoard collection - here's a roundup of my fave nudey shades:

Clockwise: Rimmel 'Beige Babe'; Sinful Colours 'Snow Me White'; BYS 'Spring Fling'; Ciate 'Cookies and Cream'; Beauty UK 'Soft Grey'; Luron 'French Manicure'

L-R: Rimmel 'Beige Babe'; Luron 'French Manicure'; Beauty UK 'Soft Grey'; Ciate 'Cookies and Cream'; BYS 'Spring Fling'; Sinful Colours 'Snow Me White' 

Are you going to try out this subtle palette on your hands this season? What's your favourite nude polish colour?
