Everyone loves that fresh manicure feeling. However, attending salons can be very pricy for students on a budget. Resorting back to the original method of nail polish from a bottle allows you to find the perfect colour and create the look over and over again.
Here are The EDIT’s top nail colour suggestions to help you beat the winter blues and dive into Spring.
1.Essie: Check Your Baggage (£7.99 from Superdrug)
Essie nail polishes are amazing. The colour is so vibrant after one application you really don’t need a second coat – what’s not to love! This shade is perfect for Spring as it contains all those amazing Spring undertones of warm yellow and mustard. It really makes your nails stand out without being overpowering.
2. Rimmel: Rita Ora Go Wild-er-ness (£3.49 from Superdrug)
This polish is from the festival collection selected by Rita Ora for Rimmel. This shade promises to dry in 60 seconds and this is definitely true, there is zero tackiness to be found. The purple tones of this polish would be perfect to wear even on those days when the sun isn’t shining to add that element of brightness to your look.
3. Barry M: Gelly Nail Paint Greenberry (£3.99 from Superdrug)
This high-shine polish is a breath of fresh air. Barry M polishes last really well in comparison to other drug store polishes. The “gelly” polish range is naturally a bit thicker than the ordinary ones and doesn’t require a top-coat, it’s a win win! This colour just screams Spring – its bright and would be perfect to pair with light pastel tones.
3. Rimmel: Super Gel New Romantic (£6.99 from Superdrug)
This shade is so elegant and feminine. I love how subtle this baby pink colour is, it effortlessly compliments any outfit by adding a touch of class. If you’re someone who tends to stay away from bold nail colours, this shade is perfect for adding a hint of colour without turning heads.
5.Maybelline: It’s A Boy (£3.99 from Superdrug)
This shade is the campion of the pastel shades! Like a bright blue Spring sky, this colour is sure to transform basic nails into something exciting. This colour can be intensified with how many coats of polish you choose to apply. Pastel shades are an essential for the brighter months – why not start experimenting with this gorgeous baby blue shade.
