Then and Now Throwback Nails: South Park

As today is a Thursday I am throwing back to some nails I did in 2010, and recreating them now 11 years later to see if I have improved! While I don't own all the exact polishes used originally, I have used similar colours.

Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2021

Barry M - Rose Hip // Barry M - Huckleberry // Leighton Denny - Girls Best Friend // OPI - Alpine Snow // W7 - Sheer Lemon

On Saturday it will be the Spring equinox, and so I'm sharing my Spring 2021 nail polish picks.

I have done this type of post before which you can see 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are ones that I want to reach for during Spring. I seem to have gone for all pastel polishes this year.

Rose Hip is a very light pink cream shade which is pink enough not to just look white.

Huckleberry is a light blue shade, lighter than a Tiffany blue and again blue enough to to look white.

Girls Best Friend is a light lilac cream polish good in two coats.

Alpine Snow has to be my favourite white polish, opaque in two coats which is great for a white.

Sheer Lemon is my final choice, a light yellow polish which despite its name isn't sheer.
