Pastels for Spring? OK, so it doesn't sound groundbreaking, but the season's coolest nail color trend isn't like all the others you've seen before. It's pastel shades — with a twist.

"The polishes for Spring are not so predictable — we'll be seeing a lot of the not-so-basic pastels," said Essie celebrity manicurist Michelle Saunders. These shades, she explained, each have a little something extra — be it a touch of iridescence, flecks of gold, or pearly finishes. "For some reason, maybe because this winter was particularly long and daunting, but this year instead of rolling our eyes when fresh and floral hues arrive, we are embracing them. It's the quickest and simplest way to 'let the light in', even if the sun is still struggling to appear."
