Spring Nail Art Designs and Colors

Spring is a season for soft or bright nail colors! Let go of the darker hues and embrace a playful nail design. You don't have to go to a nail salon to get cute nail polishes or nail art applied. Do it right at home with some simple and cost-effective polishes and design kits.

Personally, I love mixing the softer hues and muted pastel colors into my Spring nail art. Stripes and polka dots are my favorite as they are simple to do at home. (I get frustrated when I mess up perfectly beautiful nail polishes.)

This bright polka dot nail art was designed by the lovely Becoming Gorgeous. Just pick up a toothpick or any nail design pen and dab on the polka dots over the nail polish. Using white dots rather than black gives a more Spring/Summer vibe.

This lovely multi-colored pastel nail design from PSHIIIT has been on top of my inspiration list for a while. It is very simple to do and allows for creativity by mixing up the horizontal and vertical lines just a bit.

If you are looking for a really cute design, I recommend this Bow Mani art design by Kristin over at The Beauty Department. It requires a little more tact than I would like, but the outcome is absolutely gorgeous!

Maybelline Color Whisper Review & Sweepstakes

Maybelline Color Whisper by Color Sensational is a lipcolor that provides truly translucent gel color. Available in 20 shades, the Maybelline Color Whisper gives off a very sexy, soft and translucent color without any heavy waxes or oils. When I wear Maybelline Color Whisper, my lips feel protected and beautiful without taxing feel of makeup. Maybelline Color Whisper provides a shine that gives color and definition.

 

These lipsticks are sheer, natural, affordable and come in a wide variety of shades. My personal favorites are Coral Ambition and Shocking Coral - but do know that anything with the word coral in the name naturally attracts me. Expect some swatches of these beauties in the future (once I get my lighting adjusted).

For best results, it is recommended that you apply this lipcolor starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.

Bright Eye Makeup Looks

I'm not the glamorous and cheery makeup kind of girl, but I love to play with bright eye makeup looks around the Spring. Purples, lilacs and similar shades are definitely the way to go this coming season.

Elena's Bright Makeup Look for Handmade Reviews
Start with a freshly clean moisturized face. Apply makeup primer, foundation and concealer under eyes, around nose, etc. Apply lip balm to your lips. It will moisturize and soften your lips while you're doing your eyes. Apply some translucent powder under your eyes so it will be easier to clean your under eye area in case of shadow fall out.

Spring Beauty Bloom Makeup

Spring will surely come and it's time to start planning out bright beauty looks for the great season. As much as I enjoy the darker shades brought on by the cold winter, I can't wait to mix in the neon lips and bold eye shadows.

I've been inspired to use spring purple/lilac eye shadows (via Samantha Allen) and bright pink lipsticks (via FORA).
