One of the biggest trends this Spring is donning pastel tips, but pastel has undergone a makeover. The crop of pastels I'm falling in love with this season are much more sophisticated than those of Cadbury Egg Minis (which after this weekend, I should be in rehab for). From pistachio and cotton candy to lilac, lemon and eggshell blue, I just can't get enough and that's rare for a girl who always wears dark colors.
When I received the Spring 2012 Dolce & Gabbana collection in the mail I flipped over the polishes. Of course, the cosmetics are gorgeous, but these lacquers were my first introduction into the new pastel. They're milky pastels and after applying, it looks as if you painted a white coat of polish underneath the pastel shade to make it pop.
The first thing that caught my attention about Rococo Nail Apparel's Spring 2012 collection was the packaging. It's special and I think there's nothing better than getting a beautifully packaged set of beauty products. Like the Dolce & Gabbana shades, the pastels are also creamy.
While these polishes may be a bit pricey, it's nice to treat yourself once in a while. Of course, there are other options! Here are some of my other favorite pastels by Essie and OPI that you can find in your local nail salon and will keep you on trend: Essie in Mint Candy Apple, Essie in Play Date, OPI in Do You Lilac It and OPI in Pink Friday.
