It is officially springtime in New York with 60 degree weather and sunshine lighting up the sidewalks. With the warmth, we are finally free to shed out heavy coats and usher in the latest and greatest looks fresh from the Spring/ Summer 2010 runways. While many of us have yet to start chipping away at our spring shopping lists, changing the color on our nails is a quick and easy way to welcome the changing of the seasons.

With spring options from feminine neutrals to military inspired looks to loud graphic prints, this seasons spring nail polish pick of chocolate brown will be an easy match no matter which way you chose to go. Brown nails were shown on the runways of Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Catherine Malandrino. Polish hues with mauve, gray and gold undertones bring out a softness and offer a neutral color that is compatible with any skin tone while also being office appropriate. Understated and sophisticated, taupe colored shades offer a clean look when paired with short nails and as an added bonus, chipped nails from blackberry and iphone overuse are less noticeable. Pair these new nail colors with gold jewelry and you’ll be guaranteed chic for spring. The brown trend extends to lips this season as well- an instant and easy way to look updated and fresh for the season.

Milk chocolate on your nails? Sure why not. Zoya's polish in Dea is the perfect pick

This Essie polish in Chinchilly has a cool grey undertone making it an easy neutral to pair with anything you wear.

Chop Sticking to My Story by O.P.I is as sweet as caramel for the spring
