Until last year, I had no ability to paint my own fingernails. I painted my toe nails frequently, but any time I painted my fingernails two things happened:

  1. They looked terrible. Really, truly terrible.
  2. I felt like I was wearing ping pong balls on the tips of my fingers. I felt like I couldn’t type, open door knobs, or even put my hair in a ponytail.

As a teacher, however, I realized that painting my nails allowed me to express a bit more of my personality in a still school appropriate way. Now, I’m totally addicted. Today I’m going to share with you my current top five nail colors for the season….and I’ve managed to combine them into only 3 manicures!

Revlon Colorstay in Marmalade//Sephora by OPI in Havana Dreams//Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Kook-a-Mango//Revlon Nail Enamel in Minted//Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Cut It Out

I am loving bold oranges and reds as well as soft minty pastels for spring. That and accent nails top my list currently. Though some of these look pretty similar in the bottles, they look very different on my fingers. So without further ado…

 …the manicures:

Clockwise from top left:

  1. Marmalade
  2. Minted with Cut It Out on thumbs
  3. Kook-a-Mango with Havana Dreams on ring fingers

What is your favorite spring nail color?
