Dial up your AOL connection and don your flannel: Between the return of vampire madness, Dr. Martins, deep matte lipstick and now, pastel nail polish, I have to check my flux capacitor and make sure we’re actually still in 2010. The latest opaque pastel nail polishes to hit the market call to mind a decidedly Hard Candy-esque ’90s era. Here, our favorite creamy spring nail lacquers:
