catch some spring fever with candy-coated tips, a bangin' new 'do and a softening oil change. it's time for april beauty picks:

pop star.
pink is the new black when it comes to nails. goth gives way to girly this spring, and nothing says "sugar and spice" quite like a bubblegum pink polish. chanel nail color in flamingo ($19) is the perfect combo of sweet and stylish. 5 newbury street. at arlington. 617.859.0055. www.chanel.com


sheer beauty.
when the weather warms up, don't let your makeup melt down. smashbox sheer focus tinted moisturizer ($30) is a lightweight, SPF-infused foundation alternative that goes on matte and stays that way. an oil- and fragrance-free lotion with a tint of tan? smashing. available at sephora. 800 boylston street. at fairfield. 617.262.4200. www.smashbox.com


work it.
newbury street's newest beauty studio, atelier salon, is now open. throw caution to the wind this spring and chop those heavy, mod bangs you've always wanted. atelier might be new to the scene, but owners dean mellen, cindy kenefick and patrice vinci are not. with 17 years of experience, you can bet they know a thing or two about 'dos. 174 newbury street. between dartmouth and exeter. 617.456.0006. www.atelierboston.net


fruit smoothie.
get your dry, frazzled post-winter skin sloughed with the bella sante $50-off treatment specials this month. try the exfoliating 30-minute pomegranate peel ($75) and give a new meaning to spring cleaning. 38 newbury street. near berkeley. 617.424.9930. www.bellasante.com


greased lightening.
organic moroccan argan oil works overtime in kiehl's superbly restorative dry oil ($30). the high amount of natural fatty acids in this emollient is a good thing; it softens skin, improves tone and even tames those crazy fly-aways that love to peek out of your hairline. 112 newbury street. 617.247.1777. at clarendon. www.kiehls.com


eye for design.
liquid eyeliner application practically requires a fine art degree, but hourglass calligraphy liquid eyeliner ($32) means you don't have to be picasso to get expertly defined eyes. think of it as a felt-tip magic marker for your lids: easy to apply and virtually smudge-proof. available at sephora. 800 boylston street. at fairfield. 617.262.4200. www.hourglasscosmetics.com
