Lacquer on spring

My bike ride to the editorial office has been upgraded. Leaves on the trees, flowers in red, yellow, and pink, and it smells delicious, not normal. It's spring! I took the boat this weekend to make use of that sun. But am I the only one feeling this way, or is that feeling hitting you a bit too? That sun may be ready, but my wardrobe is not.

I'm not complaining, but my legs need to be shaved and they need to be softer than soft. Sandals out of the dust and then those nails, they need to be polished too. And then you want a color that matches your summery mood. Later, you'll have that glass of white on the terrace with your yellow-painted nails. It's just more fun than the dark black of those dark months.

Alarm, problem, help. My collection of nail polishes is still in winter mode. And those pastels and freshness from last year? Dried out. Clear case: not only does the wardrobe need updating, but the polish does too. I started shopping and I'm sharing the happiest nail polishes of the season with you. Your nails will match that glass of white wine perfectly. You're welcome.

1. You already got a heads up from Adeline about OPI’s Fiji collection. But for me, it still needs to be in the top five. The color is too cute and it has to be with a name like that: ‘Do you sea what I sea?‘ I see my money going over the counter.

OPI Fiji Collection €14,95

2. Okay, seriously guys, how cute, cool, awesome, super-duper great is this little jar? You just want it on your vanity. I’m sold. Okay, maybe save up a bit. But I want it. Now.

3. The always-good, a perfect pastel; here it is. Matches every jacket and bag and has just the right dose of sun. Helloooo summer hands.

4. If Belle wears it, then it can go on your nails. You're going to feel mellow on yellow this season.

Dior Vernis – 505 Early, €27

5. Is applying nail polish not your forte and are you already pulling your hair out with one hand before it can even stick? I feel you. But the Impulss gel polish is your salvation. It's a base coat, nail polish, and top coat in one. Also easy to apply with your own LED lamp. Plus? It lasts two weeks like a house. Jackpot!
