Nailed It

I am definitely one of those girls that is obsessed with nail polish. I consider it just as much of an accessory as shoes, jewelry, and handbags. Each season I look out for the new Essie colors. It would definitely be fair to say that I am Essie loyal, but I try not to have blinders on. If I see another color that I love, I will stray. Now, these colors are not new.... but, I am trying to use them up so that I can reward myself with a few new Spring 2013 beauties. 

Essie Bermuda Shorts and Sand Tropez. These are favs! I actually wear the Bermuda Shorts on my fingers and the Sand Tropez on my toes. I think they are such pretty colors. Bermuda shorts is pretty bright on so I only wear it when my nails are fairly short. Sand Tropez is one of those universal colors -- I think it can look professional when it needs to be, but it also has a gray tint to it that feels fresh and trendy.

Color Club - "Put a Pin in It' and Essie - 'BBF Best Boyfriend'. These are very chic and I think the Put a Pin in It is especially on trend right now. I wear the Color Club on my fingers and the Essie on my toes. The Essie BBF is pretty sheer, so I use three coats.

Essie - 'Set in Stones' - This is definitely a weekend one ladies. I use Set in Stones as a ring finger only accent and it goes on Friday afternoons and comes off Sunday evenings. Now, if you are in your teens I don't think that rule applies. Anyone out of high school, I think should try to stick with the "glitter on weekends only" rule. I put Set in Stones over Essie - 'Material Girl'. If you don't know Material Girl,  you should! It's a gorgeous deep burgundy and very flattering on so many skin tones. I would wear Material Girl on my fingers and toes. 

Neon! I think everyone should have at least one neon color in their nail arsenal. Since I wouldn't wear this color all that often I don't splurge on an Essie. Sinful Colors in 24/7 (number 920) is a very fun way to add color. I like that it is not sheer so you won't need a million coats to get the right effect. Also, I think this color might fall into the "weekends only" rule as well. I feel a little bit spunkier when I have this color on and have gotten tons of compliments on it. Also - nails short for this one and I wear on my fingers only and keep the toes very nude/sheer.
