Gelato on My Mind is a pastel robin's-egg blue crème for people who like soft, cool colours that still look clearly blue. It works for spring and summer manicures and for anyone who wants a light colour that is not pink or nude.

OPI describes it as deliciously sweet and icy-cool, and the vibrant robin's-egg tone is what sets it apart from a baby blue or a grey-leaning powder blue. It looks bright without needing a dark or neon base.

Apply OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, shake the bottle, then paint two thin coats and cap the free edge. Finish with OPI Top Coat.

• Pro: a glossy pastel that reads as fresh against warm skin tones.
• Con: light pastels need thin, even coats or they streak, and may need an extra layer for full opacity.
• Con: it is a seasonal-feeling colour that some people will not want to wear year-round.
