Can you believe it’s been a whole month since our last St. Patrick’s Day themed #MonthlyMani in March?? Well, this month’s theme is Pretty Pastels, and I, for one, am very excited!
I decided to use my favorite pastel polish of all time, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in “I Lilac You” (#370). It is the prettiest pale lilac/lavender hue and I love that it includes base coat, color and top coat all in one bottle! (Sally Hansen should really sponsor me as much as I use their polish haha! ;))
After painting my pastel purple base, I added pretty cobalt blue flowers with my nail art pen (from BornPrettyStore – discount in sidebar!). Once the flowers dried, I added a white center with my handy dotting tool (pun intended) in NYC “French Tip White” (#134).
I absolutely love this lilac and cobalt color combination! It was a bit hard to photograph, but it is even prettier in person (even if my flowers are a tad bit wonky). I think navy / cobalt blue is my new favorite color this season – it goes so well with everything from pastels to neons!
Don’t forget to check out the rest of the #MonthlyMani ladies to see what pastels they are rocking this spring!

Are you a fan of pastel nail art? Confession: I used to hate pastels! I thought they were only for babies or Easter haha! Thankfully, I got over that! ;)

Haha, I didn’t used to be crazy about pastels either but I love them for this season! Your nails are adorable (and apparently I need to get that Sally Hansen nail polish – you AND Justine both used that type this month!)

April 21, 2015 at 5:38 pmI, too, was not the biggest fan on pastels for a long time. But they really are the perfect complement to spring clothes! I really dig your mani this month and the flowers are absolutely darling! Sally Hansen is where it’s at :)
April 21, 2015 at 3:35 pmThank you!! Maybe it’s just because I always think of the 90’s when pastels were more like “baby pink,” or “baby blue,” which I just couldn’t stand (in my oh-so-fashion-informed youth haha)! Either way, I’m so glad you like these polishes, too!! :)
