Spring is officially here—and so are those subtle seasonal shades! We’re turning away from darker, vampy hues and enveloping our fingertips in romantic pinks, serene blues, and mellow mauves that evoke a truly fanciful feeling. Just in time to greet the cherry blossoms, we’ve picked out some of our favorite pastel palettes—punchy polishes you’ll want on your nails all season long!
