Luckily my nails are in good condition at the moment and are growing nicely and it's nice to see them painted. I'm not one to go to a nail shop and get either gels or acrylics even though I have been tempted on many occasions, I'm just worried the long term damage they will actually do. In an other post I will show what I use on my nails to keep them maintained.
Clockwise, Essie - Watermelon, Nails Inc - Claremont Street, Essie - Eternal Optimist, O.P.I - Strawberry Margarita, Barry M - Glitter Diamond, Barry M - Passion Fruit, Essie - Limo-Scene and Barry M - Flip Flop
At the moment my go to one is Essie Eternal Optimist, it's such a lovely shade pink, ideally two coats is best but if your in a rush one coat is fine. I think this has been my spring/summer shade so far this year I own a few matching items and I think matching shows a little thought in what your wearing. For example over the weekend my nails were painted in the Barry M (flip flop) and I have this lovely medium sized cross body bag which matched and it looked lovely.
If you are on a budget I would highly recommend Barry M's collection also ideal if your in a rush but if you want to spend a little more I would definitely go for Essie they last a good week to 10 days and don't chip.
Ooh I nearly forgot the glitter! Who doesn't love a bit of sparkle?! I don't paint every nail in glitter only one on each hand, the ring finger and same on opposite hand, it just adds a little bit of fun and sometimes breaks it up a little instead of being just one colour.
Have you got any favourite colours you use throughout the summer?
