[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.

[Favorites] Summer 2012 Nail Polishes
This summer, I will likely have my nails painted either nude or turquoise. Nude and turquoise nails go with almost everything in my summer wardrobe, and they look casual and beachy. I do like to mix it up occasionally with bright or red nails, but I always wear sheer or cream-finish polishes in the summertime. These are my top 7 favorite nail polishes for Summer 2012.
Essie Cloud Nine :: This is sheer milky white. It's not streaky - at all. It makes my nails look naturally whiter and shinier. Other good nude polishes for summer include Essie Mademoiselle, China Glaze Inner Beauty, and Wet n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat.
Orly Gumdrop :: Turquoise or aqua nails complement my summer clothes and add a bohemian element to a look. Orly Gumdrop is a light turquoise than leans more blue than green. I also like Essie Turquoise and Caicos and China Glaze Kinetic Candy.
Maybelline Express Finish Racy Red :: Red nails make a casual summer outfit look more classy. This is the ideal shade of red for me. Essie First Dance is a similar color.
Zoya Malia :: I like bright purples and bright blues, and Malia is somewhere in between. Wet n Wild Megalast On a Trip is similar but leans more blue.
Zoya Maya :: Coral nails are a summer classic, and coral makes most skin tones look more tan. Maya is a pink coral with a jelly-like finish.
Essie Splash of Grenadine :: I adore this light plum nail polish. Bonus: it complements my pale, cool-tone complexion. Maybelline Love Me Lavender is a dupe for this.
Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up :: I love wearing bright pink in the summer, and I think this may be the perfect fuchsia to complement my skin tone.
