No more clunky coats and weather inflicted hair days. Even better, no longer do we have to hide our fantastically polished nails with mittens and gloves. In honor of beautiful spring weather and inspired by the Spring 2013 Pantone Color trends, I give you four of my favorite nail polish colors to rock for the season.

This beautiful, muted jade is a subtle hint of color that doesn’t overpower your outfit. With just the perfect amount of pastel green, this color is a good compliment to many color stories. Add a hint of shine for a bit of luster and elegance. (Seafoam, Forever21.com, $2.80)

Bring all the attention to your nails with this warm and bright color. The popping orange hues of this color really shine in a plain polish fashion. Looks even better on your toes with a cute pair of strappy sandals. (Mango Madness, eyeslipsface.com, $2.00)

No season is complete without a nude polish. Whether you’re rocking a color-block or color column trend, this tone works perfectly in harmony with your outfit so as not to overpower but to compliment. (Taupe, Forever21.com, $2.80)

 

 

 

image (2)Monaco Blue

If you’re feeling a darker nail color for the season, this deep blue is perfect for you. You won’t be blue if you make this nail statement, I promise! Wear it shimmery for a midnight blue effect or plain for a poignant nail statement. (Dark Navy, eyeslipsface.com, $2.00)

Yet the cross has now been revamped and is now a stylish piece many people are becoming familiar with.

EARRINGS

One quick way people are adopting the look into their everyday wear is through earrings. The look can be found in studs. However, if you want something a little fancier long, dangly earrings are another style they come in. Diamonds are the main form they take, but at times they’re set in a solid gold or silver. The look can even be found in specialty colors like sky blue or purple.

RINGS

A simple ring is also another way to give this booming look a chance. You can get a cross ring that is either angled straight up and down or sideways. I personally prefer the sideways look. It has a good balance and flow on your finger, and it doesn’t stand out awkwardly when you try to do day-to-day things. With this kind of ring a simpler look is better, so a jewel studded rose gold ring is a great way to wear the look.

BRACELETS

The most popular way to wear this look is a bracelet. It’s also my favorite way because there are so many modifications on how to wear a cross bracelet. One look is in the form of a charm bracelet look that consists of a strand of pearls and a little cross dangling from the strands. Another way is a friendship bracelet that uses the cross as a link between the two strands with beads on either side of it. Lastly, my favorite look is an elongated cross connected to a jeweled wristband.

Once again fashion has taken something that was ordinary or not seen as a fashion piece and has spruced it up to give fashion lovers everywhere a new way to play with their personal style.
