The words "classic" and "timeless" are often overused when it comes to neutrals, but when it comes to anoff-white polish,there really isn't a better descriptor. Minimalists, this one is for you.
3. Hues ofOrange
Neons in spring? You bet. I didn't think I'd ever see the day, but this joyous orange hue has become my most saved inspiration photo on both Instagram and TikTok.
Maybe it's because of the colour's mood-boosting, zesty vibrance, or perhaps it's a sign of deep summer longing. Either way,while I've been an advocate for darker shades right through to April in the past, right now, orange truly is the new black.
Orangenails of any kind are the perfect way to inject some springtime optimism into your manicure. And rest assured you don't have to go neon bright with your orange polish—a pastel tone can induce just as much happiness.
