Mint Candy Apple

I've been wanting to try this Essie color for a while now ever since it came out (last season?) and now it's currently on my fingernails. I'm really happy with it. It looks greaaaat with a tan and having bright, pretty nails really does up one's mood. Now I remember why I used to get mani-pedis all the time before I moved to New Hampshire. The funniest part is that I'm receiving more compliments on my nail polish from guys than girls...

Nude Nails

I'm currently really liking nude nail polish... there's something about it that looks very sexy. So is Marc Jacobs, who hand-picked these four OPI colors for his spring fashion show:

From L to R, the colors are Malaysian Mist, Samoan Sand, Barefoot in Barcelona, and Dulce De Leche.

My toes are newly painted Barefoot in Barcelona (third from L), they were last OPI's Tickle My France-y (another nude color) and I just ordered Dulce De Leche (last from L) from my favorite store... Amazon.com 

Ok, enough procrastinating (part of the joy of online shopping). Errands and studying await...

Nifty Nails

So I've decided that this summer, I'm going to refrain from my typical peach/orange tones and return to my childhood nail enamels of BRIGHT pink and Crayola blue. I bought a couple of tiny bottles from Sephora ($4) and they are perfect as little pigment pick-me-ups.

The colors I own are "Hip Hop" (bright magenta) and "Myrtille" which is seen at left.

I've also been introduced to a miracle top coat by Sally Hansen called "Mirror Shine" that makes any nail polish last/have a glossy, clean finish. It also speeds up the drying process so your nails are completely dry in practically 3 minutes. Amazing.
