Favourite Summer Nail Polishes!

when i first started this blog i said that most of my posts would be on beauty, but i haven't actually talked about beauty at all! whoopsies...anyways i thought i would talk a bit about beauty by talking about some of the nail polishes i like to wear during the summer months and some that i have gotten this year and plan on wearing this summer.

so i have a confession to make...i am a nail polish-aholic. i have more nail polishes than i know what to do with. i have about 10 different shades of all the colours of the rainbow. i know that may sound a little nuts but i know there are many of us nail polish-aholics out there! right? i hope there are...anyways i think that nail polish is a lot like a mood ring! personally i wear colours that match my emotions BUT i also wear nail polish that goes with a certain outfit i'm wearing or perhaps the season it is. so, yeah, i guess that's why i have so many? haha let's get back to the nail polishes that i'm loving this summer though!

1. copper penny 932 - REVLON

i know everyone has this idea that revlon is a crappy nail polish but, it's well priced and it works well for me! it stays on long if i put a good base and top coat on (i recommend OPI) and it applies nicely. this nail polish looks amazing on tanned summer skin, i'm a redhead so i don't tan but i still think it's a fabulous summer colour. i'm not usually a fan of metallic nail polishes but i wear this one all the time during the summer and i love it!

2. jaded 320 - REVLON

if you are looking for a nice subtle pastel colour for the summer this nail polish is great. it goes nicely with almost any outfit and the green tone also looks nice with tanned skin!

3. lilacism - ESSIE

this nail polish is like a calmer version of bikini so teeny also by essie. i was given this nail polish by my best friend for my birthday and i'm obsessed with it. i love pastels, especially during the summer and much like jaded by revlon this polish also goes nicely with almost every summer outfit. it's like wearing the summer sky on your nails!

4. wicked - ESSIE

i wouldn't usually wear such a dark colour during the summer months but i almost always wear a dark colour on my toes, i think it looks nicer to have a dark colour on them! i pretty much always have this colour on my toes and it looks absolutely beautiful on both tanned and pale skin (i like it a bit better on pale skin but maybe i'm just biased ;) haha)

5. tropical guava 100 - CERAMIC GLAZE

i actually just got this nail polish this month and haven't tried it out yet because i've been giving my nails a breather from the polish. i don't know about you guys but i love neon colours for the summer. again, they look great with tanned skin and they just look so much better in the bright summer sun! i used to have neon pink by china glaze but it dried up :( so i bought this to sort of replace it.

6. fearless 640 - REVLON

i'm not a big fan of red because it makes the pink tones in my skin come out and i don't like that too much but i think red looks fab with sun kissed skin. this colour is the red i wear when i'm feeling like i need to wear a red polish. it has a bit of an orangey pink tone which i like, it makes it look a tad bit more fresh. As well as some of the other colours i mentioned i like this one because its easy to match with outfits.

7. muchi muchi - ESSIE

if you're looking for more of a subtle neutral colour for the summer i suggest this nail polish. it's really subtle but so pretty. if you're looking to have the pink tones in this polish pop a little more all that you have to do is add another layer. i wear this one all year long and its always been one of my favs!

let me know of some of the nail polishes you guys like to wear during the summer, i'd love to hear!

stay cheeky! ox
