This is the Nail Polish Color You’ll Be Wearing All Spring and Summer (J.Lo Jumped the Gun)

If you ask me, the real winner on American Idol is always judge Jennifer Lopez, who constantly changes up her hair and makeup in the most scintillating ways. On last night’s live elimination show, she was clearly in a summer state of mind, with her patterned headscarf, bronzed skin, pink lip gloss, and oh, those nails!

Of course J.Lo would be wearing a bright orchid color on her nails, since it’s Pantone’s official color of 2014 and the perfect way to say warm weather’s (finally) on the way (maybe) (if we’re really lucky). If you’re not familiar with the color and all its beauty possibilities, check out my post all about all things “radiant orchid”. Basically, this is definitely the color you’re going to be seeing on everyone’s nails all season long.

Not into nail polish this bright? You can still wear the purple trend in a paler way. As Beth posted about this morning, Scarlett Johannson’s currently wearing a springy lavender shade.
