Pastel-Hued Nail Pigments

The Kate Spade Summer 2012 Nail Polish Set is Warm Weather-Ready

Kate Spade's Summer 2012 Nail Polish Set is full of vibrant colors that are sure to kick start summer fun. Once again, Kate Spade has paired up with beauty professional Poppy King, but this time creating its first ever set of nail polishes. This collection is a great addition to the four variations of Supercalifragilipstick! the designers launched together last year. The polishes were influenced by the brightly colored wallpapers designed by Australian artist Florence Broadhurst.

The nail polishes are sold as a travel pack that comes to 28 euros, which includes a set of four colors. These cosmetics match perfectly with Kate Spade's color scheme for her Summer 2012 collection. The hues are called Yellow Cockatoos, Watermelon Fingers, Orange Solar and Seafoam Swirls.
