Whenever it's time for me to get my nails done, I'm reminded that settling on a color and design is probably the most difficult part of the process. Between the bubble bath nail trend and the cat eye trend, there's endless polish and design inspiration to choose from. These days, though, I've been doubling down on all the pastel nail ideas. My new go-to shades are light, fresh, and allow me to play with color without being too dramatic.
Per celebrity manicurist and imPress Beauty ambassador Gina Edwards, pastel nail colors are often associated with summer weather, but there's no actual rule stating that you can't wear them year round, especially when you want to lighten your mood with a bright and fresh color. "They can instantly make you feel like you're on vacation no matter where you live," says celebrity manicurist and KISS ambassador Julie Kandalec. "The soft tones pop on tan or darker skin tones, yet they still flatter lighter skin tones as well."
