[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.

In the above picture, I am wearing a coat of Zoya Anchor basecoat, two coats of Cloud Nine, and New York Color Grand Central Station as my topcoat.

[NOTD] China Glaze Kinetic Candy

I painted my nails with China Glaze Kinetic Candy.  It is a light aqua (or turquoise) color, leaning more blue than green.

[NOTD] Essie Bikini So Teeny

Essie Bikini So Teeny is an electric sky blue nail polish with a hint of shimmer.  It leans towards lavender.  The formula is semi-sheer, so (if I remember correctly) I wore three coats below.  I also wore Zoya Anchor for a basecoat and New York Color Grand Central Station for a topcoat.

In person, I can detect the shimmers on my nails when they catch the light, but they aren't much visible in the picture.

I love the color and finish of this polish, but it was chipping by the end of the first day.  I do clean and wash dishes, so polish doesn't stay long on my nails, but this only lasting a day seems atypically poor.
