Let’s check into Spring/Summer with BUTTER LONDON Nail Lacquer’s new collection that just came out. I’ve been out of touch with the 3FREE brand for a few so I didn’t know that they had finally changed the way the cap is. It used to not pop off to reveal the round top you hold to apply the polish. So much easier and I did point this out in one of the last features I did on the brand.

Anyway, this current collection is popping with bright colors and softer opaques. The two I tried here were so up my alley, it was creepy, and I can’t even decide which is my favorite.

ESSIE just put out their Navigate Her 2012 Spring Collection  and I find it interesting that three of the polishes are on the pastel side and the other three are bright pigmented colors. Kind of like it because a woman’s nail polish mood changes pretty much daily.

Ok, we’re at the next step when it comes to nail art, 3D art. You’ve probably seen something like the below online or, if you’re lucky, in person. It looks so cool … on someone else and thankfully the DASHING DIVA line has made 3D a little more wearable for us regular people.

 This rich and indulgent collection envelops the senses. Darkly sophisticated tones are accompanied by shocks of dazzling iridescence, creating a breathtakingly modern interpretation of the most illicit nightlife in history.

There’s no hotter beauty item these days then nail polish. It’s for sure a major accessory with quite a few blogs just devoted to its diversity. One line I was just made aware of is called JULEP and I’m sure they will be around for a while. What started as a nail parlor with four locations in the Seattle area has turned an ordinary mani/pedi into a whole chic experience.As for us that don’t live in the Northwest will have to let the Nail Vernis or Nail Polish line do the talking.
