My nails were still green from St. Patrick’s Day last month. Looking at them today I knew I desperately needed to change it up! I knew I wanted new nails for spring. Looking through my nail colors, I tried to pick something that was hot and on-trend for 2013. I decided to go with coral and mint, colors I’m totally loving right now.
For the mint hue I chose “Read My Palm” from Sephora by OPI, and for the coral hue I chose “Kensington Palace Gardens” by Nails Inc. London. I’ll be attending a Kentucky Derby Soiree the first weekend in May. I’ve been looking at Derby fashion for attire ideas. Many of the flags and jockey colors remind me of the color blocking trend. Walking around town today, I started seeing more sailboats out. Again, with the sailboat flags I saw color blocking. So I figured why not do a simple color block split on my nails?
I removed my previous nail color just fine. However I’m kicking myself that I didn’t buff my nails prior to repainting. Just ignore the bumps! Using just scotch tape, it was simple to create this design.
Your spring nails are adorable! Love the colors you chose.
I currently have purple color on my nails…I like the combination of mint and coral colors on your nails.
Hi Ashley,
I love your nails and have always liked the two-toned color style on nails. When I was a teen I would paint my nails with the help of a paper clip and two great colors!
I hope you enjoy the derby events,

Cute! Love the colors and design!
Cute! My nails are still unpainted. This is inspiring me to do something about it.
Too cute! I can never get my nails to look this neat! I love those colors together!
Loving the colorblocked nails (: My nail polish colors this spring are mint green, turquoise, and coral!
Love the design and the colors!
I love your pattern of colors. So pretty!
Cute! I would have never thought of using scotch tape…. good thinking!
Pretty colors. My nails are always natural as I love gardening and playing in the dirt. Polish never sticks for me this time of year.
very cute! I didnt think about using tape.
I love those colors! So bright and exciting! Love it.
i love the color combinations of those polishes!
I love the color combo!
I think the last time I painted my nails was when my husband and I got married…almost 4 years ago! lol But I love that coral color. The scotch tape is a good idea too!
Oh boy. I haven’t had my nails done in soooo long. I think the last time was right before I had my first baby almost two years ago. Yours look so pretty!
