[NOTD] Essie My Place or Yours

For this Nail of the Day, I wore Essie My Place or Yours, a salmon pink-orange polish.  In the pictures, the polish looks more orange than it does in person.

[NOTD] Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up

I've been wearing bright nail polishes lately.  Today, I'm wearing Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up, a bright perfect-for-summer pink.  The formula is excellent, and I'm wearing two coats of color.

[Favorite] Polishes for Summer Pedicures

I spend my summer days in sandals or barefoot (unless I'm hiking in sneakers), so I want to make sure my feet look as cute as possible, so I always wear fresh pedicures.  Since I'm extremely pale, I try to pick nail polish colors that make me look more "tan" (aka less pasty).  My three favorite colors to accomplish this are coral, bright light nudes, and rose gold.  These are my favorite polishes for a summer pedicure.

[NOTD] Essie Cloud Nine

I have fallen behind updating my nail of the day photos.  This summer, I've been wearing mostly nude nail polishes.  I think shiny, natural-colored nails look fresh and classy.  This manicure I wore about a month ago.  It is two coats of Essie Cloud Nine, a milky transparent white polish, not at all streaky.
