It's looking like all the trendiest nails will be putting on quite a spectacular show when they debut this season. Spring 2020 will be all about statement. But luckily there are as many statements as there are points of view. Nostalgists can harken back to the ‘90s with an acid color equally beloved by punks and children. Those who prefer something more graphic can opt for any one of this season’s bold colors that delivers a visual knock-out. Vamps can go for deep, glossy varnishes while magpies can festoon themselves in glitter. And hey, even minimal and understated polishes can make quite a statement.
