2010 Spring Nail Polish Trends

While most people often choose their nail polish colors based on preference, I have to admit that I pick shades depending on the season and trend. Not all nail polish hues can be easily determined by season though. On fashion runways we see a variety of up-and-coming colors in a range of tones, and magazines are always touting the new "it" color. So what are the spring polish trends for 2010? It depends on where you look. InStyle Magazine is declaring lavender-gray shades as the new color to watch, while WhoWhatWear suggests taupe nails are the new black. Are Taupe and gray not your color? Nail polishes in lilac, mint, peach and cyan are all being considered the colors to wear in Spring 2010.

While polishes can range in price, there is something for everyone no matter what your budget. Here are the most popular nail polish colors of 2010 and cost:
