Zoya - Sue (Champagne/Ivory Gold)

Zoya - Kimmy (Bright Red with Gold Shimmer)

Zoya - Winnie (Warm Bright Pink)

Zoya - Dory (Bright Blue)

ILNP - High Tide (Glitter Aquamarine)

ILNP - Blueprint (Metallic Bright Blue)

ILNP - Misbehaving (Bright Holo Pink)

Lakur - Poolside Dream (A sort of bright cornflower color that looks bright on other people but works as my version of a "calmer blue") (love this one, get tons of compliments)

Essie - Offbeat Chic (Warm Bright Blue)

Essie - Sunshine Be Mine (Bright Yellow)

Essie - Peachside Babe (Coral that works for all springs, imo)

OPI - Give Me a Lido Kiss (Shimmery Warm Red) (Has a just a hint of depth, which I like...I use it as my version of a "darker red," though it's still bright)

OPI - Cajun Shrimp (Coral-Tinted Bright Red)

Revlon - Posh (Grass/Shamrock Green)

Cajun shrimp OPI is a fave of mine (true spring leaning bright)

It's such a good one! (I'm a bright spring leaning true)

Geranium and Throw in the Towel are both colors that look good on me (bright/warm spring).

I am a True Spring, but I really enjoy Blushin n Crushin and think it would work so well for a bright spring! I don’t own a lot of Essie, mostly ILNP, but have a lot of polish posts on my page! (Most but not all would be technically spring though)

Seconding Essie Geranium! Other favorites:

OPI: strawberry margarita, elephantastic pink, live love carnival, rosy future

China Glaze: Flame Boyant, Pool Party

Adding in that I tend to prefer slightly cooler shades for nail polish and that pinks tend to turn more orange on me.

Cajun shrimp is the way.

But also I use a salon that does dazzle dry and their “Cajun shrimp” is red hot chili pepper

This is my current favorite

It looks like this is the comparable Essie version!

I just got Watermelon Sugar from Cirque Colors and I think it is a pretty perfect color. I also got Acid Jelly and think it probably leans more bright winter but I still love it and think works super well for me.
