RGB's New Spring Nail Polish Colors: Pale And Faded Has Never Looked Better

HuffPost Social Reading

My favorite LA-based nail polish line, RGB, always manages to one-up themselves. When I couldn't get enough of their '50s-kitchen-counter green shade, Minty, they introduced "Nail Foundation," a range of four skin tone-matching polishes. Which I proceeded to wear all last spring and summer.

What makes RGB so great is their carefully-edited selection: The line started out with ten solid shades in 2009, and only launches a handful of new ones every season. And with their track record, you can pretty much guarantee they're going to be great.

RGB's spring collection is no exception. They're easing into the season not with a blast of color, but instead with pale hues that have a faded, vintage feel. There's Fade (faded ecru), Dew (pale green), Vellum (soft yellow) and Blonde On Blonde (the result of a collaboration with LA It-boutique, TENOVERSIX).

Blonde On Blonde will be available in February, while you'll have to wait until March for the other spring shades.

I don't think these pale colors would go well with my dark skin.

pale shades as those have been around forever. and while they are nice for some occasions, i find them very boring and doubt they will be the new "hot" shade for spring.

I agree. There is nothing like a bold RED. I also like deep ROSE shades. Brings out my skin tone well.

I think that it interesting that you are suggesting the paler colors. I just read that Pantone says the new color for the year is Tangerine. And fall/ winter make-up on the slides? Kind of out of date, aren't you?

Yeah, and, I've been on the hunt for it. I looove bold. I never wear the paler colors, even when they are in. Too boring.

I just saw an Essie brand that was called Orange It Obvious. Hard to tell colors on screen, but you might look forit.

I like those.

(check out Zoya's spring colors, too, if you like washed out pales)

Nice colors for someone like me - I have to keep my nails short. Love the "Fade".

I love my nails short, by choice. Looks so neat, and cool.

just anything but black polish!

While they're definitely pretty in the bottles, those polishes would make a pale person look dead. I'm going with Illamasqua's Loella for spring.

I don't think those colors are good for me either. I am sticking with what I know.

Good prices on those polishes. Hopefully they're long-lasting, too.
