Summer Series || Favorite Nail Polish

Hi beauties!

I honestly can't believe that Summer is almost coming to end *crying*. But it means that I'm closer to starting a new chapter in my life: going to college in September, where I'll be studying to become a Graphic Designer! :)

Summer went by way too fast... I haven't seen the time pass. So that's why this is only the 2nd post off of my Summer Series! And I have alot of great ideas for my Summer Series, so hopefully I'll get the chance to post them all before Summer ends (please don't end.)

Soooo, today I'll be telling you about the nail polishes I've been loving this summer. For me, Summer screams neon, pinks and corals. (coral year-round really... ahaha). So I've been trying to limit myself to only a few polishes but I could've picked like 20. Honestly. Anyways, enough rambling... let's start for real now!

Essie Turquoise and Caicos// Essie seems to always have the best summer collections. Shame on me for not getting Naughty Nautical this year, sooo gorgeous! Don't know if it's still available. Although I think Turquoise and Caicos was limited addition but they added it to their permanent collection, I think. It's a gorgeous muted turquoise color that looks great with a tan. The color is great after 2-3 coats. I can say that this is a staple in my nail polish collection.

Essie Tart Deco// This and Turquoise and Caicos seems to be the ultimate summer duo! Tart Deco is a bright orange/melon coral with hint of pinks. The absolute perfect shade with a tan. One of my all-time favorite as well!

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue// This color is like the perfect vibrant blue... it's such an original polish! Not expensive and you basically need only one coat and it's really opaque! This one is guaranteed compliments!

China Glaze Dance Baby// Such a bright color. Dance Baby is a vivid bubblegum pink with tinge of purple, but not really a neon, more of a pastel! I believe this was also a limited edition product (sorry about that!), since it was in their ElectroPop collection... Only need 2 coats and it's opaque. Nothing like I have in my collection!

China Glaze Peachy Keen// Nice bright peach color. Funny how it's bright and pastel at the same time. But cool. Sorry, but this is yet another nail polish that was in a collection! Not sure if it's still available.

Wet N Wild Tropicalia// The perfect coral pink for the Summertime! Bright, but not bright enough that you can't wear on a daily basis. This polish line has a wider brush which I love, the formulas are amazing and all that for a cheap price! Dries up really fast as well.
