Finally saw the sun today, starting to feel like spring!  What are your picks for spring nail colours?

1 Textured Nudes

For a fresh take on the classic nude manicure, this season's flesh and peachy tones got updated with subtle textural elements, says Jan Arnold, co-founder and and style director of CND, whose team of nail artists were backstage at Monique Lhullier, Marc Jacobs, and Jason Wu fashion shows this season. "This spring, the new 'griege' nail is a pale peach porcelain cream, aged in different ways--high shine for luxe perfection, iridescent, or with a satin finish," explains Arnold. She recommends layering CND Effects polish in Perfectly Bare Shimmer over their Perfectly Bare shade: "It's like lip gloss for nails!"

2 Dark & Stormy

The deep manicure trend expands this season to new shades of blue, red, and berry. We're loving the oxblood red nails from Jason Wu's spring show (CND Colour polish in Veronica). This rich, to-die-for burgundy is part of CND's spring Jason Wu collection (created in collaboration with the hot young designer). We love every one of these limited edition shades, but Veronica is especially heart-stopping.

3 Special Effects

Go creative and avant-garde with your manicure this season: At the Diego Binetti S/S 2011 show, CND embellished nails with custom designed jewels, stones, pearls, and beads, transforming them into gorgeous cocktail rings. For cool DIY nail art, try OPI Black Shatter, a black top coat that creates a crackled effect when applied over dry polish.
