10 under $10: Spring must-have nail polish colors

One of the things I love most about spring is all the pretty nail polish shades that make their debut for the season. The combination of warm weather and eye-catching colors really does something amazing to our moods–and obviously to my nails too! While I'm not by any means surprised to see yet another season full of light and bright lacquers, I still get SUPER excited for all the new colors. But I have to admit I normally don't spend more than 10 bucks on a nail polish. I guess you can say with all the amazing affordable options out there, I just don't see the point. So whether you like to play it safe with classic pastels or looking for an attention-grabbing neon you've got plenty to choose from–all for $10 or less!
