Every season, there are a few colors that inspire the runway looks from designer to designer. The color dictates the mood of the coming months as well. Every other week or so, we are faced with the decision of what nail polish color to choose from out of the million in the salon. Do you know where I’m getting at?

To cut down the time we need to choose a new nail polish color, let’s look at the colors the designers have favored for the spring/summer runway. From the look, we will get the respective color and mood that will dictate our vibe for the next few days…until we have to get a nail session again.

Dainty, chic, but also fun. This is what a light pink shade can do for you. Look at how it translates in this Hermès number and in the Sally Hansen Salon Manicure in Pink Pong. Sally Hansen. Available at The SM Store, Makati.

If you’re into something that will make you think of sipping piña coladas while you’re in that Rochas flowy dress, yellow might be your color. Try this OPI Exotic Birds Don’t Tweet color will fit right into the aesthetic. OPI. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4.

The practicality of denim always means it is in style no matter the season. Kenzo’s oversized numbers and dark wash give a grungy and ready-for-anything look. If you’re not intimidated by the dark color, go for Orly Nail Polish in Under the Stars from their latest Coastal Crush collection. Orly. Available at select Watson’s branches.

Hey, being stuck in the office even though everyone is filing for a break doesn’t mean it should be dreary. Update your Louis Vuitton-inspired professional look with a gray tone like the one found in Ciaté London’s Vintage. The cool hue is easy on the eye but is still fresh. Ciaté London. Available online.

If punchy greens aren’t your style (because who wants to resemble a traffic light anyway), go for olive green. It’s flattering on morena skin tones and is versatile for both the office or for a party where you could be caught in this sexy Balmain number. Our suggestion would be Essie in Off Tropic. Essie. Available online.
