Mint Apple (Sinful Colors)
Jin Soon Gossamer – it’s a top coat that has pink micro, nay nano shimmer in it. I picked it up for $4 on sale at SpaceNK!
Ha, so did I! As well as the lilac. Good stuff!
Just this afternoon I took off my nail color for this past 8 days, Orly Gumdrop. So right now just my two base products that are my go-to’s: European Secrets Rock Hard and Nail-aid 3-Minute Artificials. Not doing color until Thursday.
Estee Lauder Dilettante! Oh this pretty minty color (perfect balance of green and blue!) is everything I want on my talons right now!
L’Oreal Lilac Coolers (crelly) with Illamasqua Swarm sandwiched in the middle, topped with Revlon Matte Pearl Glaze.
If I had to do it over again, I think I’d actually put the glaze under my layers of topcoat, as the shimmer in the pearl glaze looked really neat over the lilac/black combo when it was still wet and shiny.
Nails Inc Gel Effect in Queens Gardens!
I just finished doing a French polish on my fingers… on my toes I think it’s Seche Opulent.
Sally Hansen nail hardener. My nails are quite brittle so that’s a must for me. I don’t have any colour on because I’m rubbish at applying nail polish. I will put something on tonight though. Either a natural pink or mint green. 🙂
Julep’s Tatum–a sort of pale chartreuse shimmer–under Claudia–a peridot colored glitter. The glitter has just a little holo glitter in it; it looks amazing in good light.
Cuccio nail shellac in Cheeky in Helsinki (gray-lavender cream) topped with a sheer mauve with mauve & silver microglitter (I can’t remember the brand. I think the name had ballgown or ballroom in it.).
Just painted my toes…It’s a free gift I just received from beauty.com, Cherry Cherry Lady by Alessandro Insternational! This is my first time to know and try the brand. It’s a very smooth formula, dig it so far!
Essie Peach Side Babe.
Essie Suite Retreat
Essie Chillato is my mani and MAC Washeteria is my pedi right now.. I do my mani and pedi weekly and I’m debating between Zoya Genesis or Serenity for this week’s mani and Butter London Jolly Good (if I pick Genesis) or Zoya Violet for pedi (if I pick Serenity).
Marc Jacobs – Oui!
I sadly left my top coat (and backup) in my dorm room, so I’ve been using my matte top coat instead.
Currently wearing Zoya Dove + Essie Shine of the Times + Essie Matte About You and it’s an amazing combo – great wear time too had it for over a week now too and there’s hardly even any tip wear!
Amazingly, nails and toes are bare today! I’ve really been into nude nails and nail care this summer so far.
Errr, nothing… but thanks for the reminder, I’m gonna go paint my nails RIGHT now! I have an important event tomorrow 🙂
OPI nail envy and thats it. Lol.
On my nails right now is a muted neon coral/peach -I can’t figure out what it is exactly- by the brand NYC Cosmetics. It kind of reminds me of Essie’s Tart Deco. Oh and on my toenails: Exotic Liras by Essie!
Nothing! I’m planning on getting a gel mani for my wedding in a couple weeks; I’m trying to baby them until then, because gel manis destroy my nails afterwards.
Deborah Lippmann Dreamweaver on my fingers. Nails Inc. Baker Street on my toes. Switching it today, but debating between Deborah Lippmann Lady Marmalade and Hare Polish Bisbee 2.0.
Pink by Dior 🙂
Sonia Kashuk Rain Check (06) with Sephora by OPI It’s Bouquet with Me (one of my absolute faves) on my ring fingers.
Julep Rose–a bright, cheerful, strawberry red.
essie – go ginza **love it!
Essie Mint Mojito
Well, I have a six month old and a nearly three year old so…no time for manicures.
Essie’s Dive Bar! Love the colour! 😀
OPI Strawberry Margarita :).
some very chipped sally hansen grape escape on my fingers and a four week old paint job on my toes, some purple metallic shade from julep. I usually don’t let my nails get so horrible looking but work has kept me busy.
Estee Lauder Nouveau Riche, but needs removing now for a new shade….. oh so many to choose from !!
Maybelline super stay 7 days in Rose poudre (130)
Nothing. Not ever. I hate nail polish, painted nails, nails that extend beyond my fingertips. At least there’s one beauty item I never spend $ on!
I always love when this question pops up 🙂 Though I have nothing on my nails right now (taking a break from polish as may nails were peeling recently) I look forward to reading everyone’s answers.
I have a greyish mauve polish from Nature Republic with Pink Sparkle from OPI on three of my fingers and Off with Her Red from OPI with some nail stickers on two of my fingers
OPI La Paz-itively Hot. I’m so boring on this question, I’ve been wearing the same shade for years,I think it’s the perfect hot pink with just enough blue.
Essie’s Tart Deco on my nails and a darker coral on my toes. Both need to be redone.
Essie: Scarlett O’Hara
The Bamboo White from the Victoria Beckham x Nails Inc Collaboration. With a little bit of some Ciate glitter polish on the tips. Did em up for a friends wedding.
Only on my toes today….D.Lippmann Mermaid’s Dream
Revlon Gel Envy. Every time. At the moment I’m loving Roulette Rush for a winter red (in in Australia) but all of the colors are fabulous…and I have just about all of them 😉
Right now- Zoya Mae from the new summer collection which is a magenta pink with a pearly finish. First time in a long time that I have not had some version of blue, purple or gray- and I must say I am hooked- might need to do a repeat I like it that much. Or might go the white pearly Zoya Genesis route. That might be a good one to try since I can extend that with the new Dior Tie Die Top Coat- which I love. I tried the tie die top coat over both blue and purple 3 or 4 days after doing my nails and had a lot of fun with it- plus extended my manicure.
white – I always wear some kind of white – that way when I mess them up they still look ok
A cheap silver glitter polish from Deb clothing store with a Deborah Lippmann off-white shimmer polish as the top coat.
Nothing but need a manicure and pedicure real soon.
A new Julep jelly polish in Lori. I heart jellies.
Always buff shine on fingers and French on toes.
Gel Coat in the clear not the pink, that makes my nailbeds look blue…
Nothing on my fingers currently. Berry Charm by Sinful Colors on my toes.
OCC Distortion and Formula X Mesmerize
Orly Emberstone
New Essie “pret-a-surfer” from the Summer 2015 line. It looks a bit more purple on the nails than in the bottle but I like it and have received a couple of compliments already today. Now if I could just “color in the lines” when applying my own polish – life would be good!
Butter London Wallis. It’s an awesome burnished green-gold that I’ll only pull out when I’m getting tan 🙂
An OPI Brisbane – a coppery brown colour.
Just Ducky from Quo by Orly. It’s a slightly shimmery golden yellow. I’m also having a nail colour dilemma. None of my collection seems ‘right.’ Oh what to do!
I’m with you, Christine. 😉 Debating between Obsessive Compulsive’s NSFW (true red lacquer), Rococo’s Gothic Lolita Metallic (knight’s armor) and JINsoon Epidote (gold-laced evergreen).
One coat of new Sephora X Sheer Strength in “Mighty” and a coat of Sephora clear top coat.
Orly Bonder Basecoat with two coats of Nails Inc. Nail Kale nail polish in Montpelier Walk, and one coat of Orly Glosser topcoat.
Marc Jacobs fluorescent beige
Chillato by Essie
Amazing color!!! Must have <3
I am wearing China Glaze Sunday Funday for 3 days now and I am still receiving a lot of compliments.
I just took off China Glaze Swing Baby (metallic gold) with Julep Yumi (glitter) layered messily over for a streaky glitter texture. I’m going in for summer pedi and to get acrylics redone tomorrow so going in with naked nails speeds it up. I’m excited about the sheer messy watercolor looks over a white or silver base though, must try that this summer!
Essie ‘bikini so teeny’ – it’s so perfect for summer, even on the toes!
I’m wearing Maybelline”s lust for lilac
L’Oreal Wild and Free, a deep violet, on toes. Zoya Perrie, a cool lavender, on fingers. White accent nail with little flower in Wild and Free dotted on with a yellow center and green leaves. My coworkers thought I got it done professionally, but I used a bobby pin for a dotting tool. (Love the ideas I find on Pinterest!)
My usual, Essie No Pre Nup
Illamasqua in Gamma! A bright neon orange 🙂 on my toes. Nothing on my fingers!
I love Gamma!
OPI live love carnival on my fingers layered with i eat mainely lobster
OPI dining el frisco and keeping suzi at bay for my toes because i’m too lazy trying to match them
Chanel Malice
My absolute fave! I keep the remaining in my bottle , like Gollum over the One Ring! If you spot any dupe…. let me know pleeease. Big hugs from Greece.
A turquoise blue on toes (CoverGirl Outlast in #295).
Really liking this and will be using it a lot this summer.
Bare! I just took off my last polish, which was OPI Infinite Shine, Indignantly Indigo.
Renunail strengthener, Illamasqua Boosh and Creator, OPI top coat
Revlon Scented in Raspberry Rapture with OPI Pearl of Wisdom on Top
I have tips on right now and I love my nails this week. I have coral and neon green colors, infused with the contrasting colors in leopard print and rhinestones. I love all things bright and all things leopard
Hi maintenance by Essie! Really impressed with the wear and the color is so dainty!
Nails inc ‘Bamboo White’ .
Zoya odette
I’m wearing Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in 550 Hunger Flames. I love this color! It made up for the two failed attempts right before it. Ugh! I’d foiled my nails twice in a row and wanted to do something completely different, so I did a French manicure. I thought it was dry when I ate something using my hands. =( Then I decided to just throw on the Deborah Lippmann polish in 12th Street Rag, which would have been great if my top coat wasn’t thick and stringy. That’s when I took a trip to pick up more top coat and found the SHMG in Hunger Flames… so it all worked out well in the end. =)
Essie – Boom Boom Room
OPI Nail Envy.
mood gel polish and 2 blinged out nails.. im so over the moon about mood gel polish now
