This group of polish are the ones that I know I can just swipe on, and be happy. They're easy choices, and my go to when I'm stumped on what I want to wear.
Essie Cute As A Button
A toe must! This is my favorite color for my toe nails, and that's really the only place I wear it. I don't like the way it looks on my finger nails, so I just keep it for my toes.
OPI Brisbane Bronze
Probably my favorite color out of all the ones that I own. When I wear it, I prefer my nails to be short, and even. It looks so much better that way.
Julep Freida
The newest of the bunch. It really compliments my skin tone, and I wish it wasn't so gosh darn expensive! I will repurchase when I run out, hopefully Julep keeps them in stock.
OPI Mermaid's Tears
Another one that I feel looks great on my skin tone.
Essie Mint Candy Apple
A classic, I don't know of anyone who doesn't love this color. It's a fantastic shade for any season.
Zoya Phoebe
I love matte nail polishes for a quick, and last minute manicure. It looks great matte, and equally wonderful with a glossy top coat over it.
What are some of your favorite nail polishes?

I recently had Mermaid's Tears put on at a salon and I loved it! I didn't paint my nails for 5 days, until it had worn too much to ignore it. I wish it was easier to get Zoya in the UK, that blue is so vivid.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the UK is eligible to participate in their Earth Day promotion? I got 7 Zoya polish for $4.00 each. This year's promotion already past, but it's a great way to get their polish cheaper. Not sure how it would be price wise for the UK though.
DeleteI'd never seen it anywhere, and suddenly I find a UK site that sells what looks like the majority of them! £10.50, so nowhere near $4, but if the craving gets too much at least they're there.
DeleteWell, that was a dangerous discovery ;)
Here I only know of one store that sells them, but not any that I like. Other than little nail boutiques, I get mine online for the promotion. They're not easy to find here either, which is why i don't have that many, and most came from the promotion. I hope you guys can participate next year, You're supposed to trade in your older polish, but I ended up just recycling it my own way instead.
DeleteI know Sinful colors has a dupe for Mermaid's Tears, and I think that one is still out.
That's a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteWhen I had MT on my hands, I put Essie Turquoise & Caicos on my toes and I think they're very close, if not dupes. Need someone to do a comparison!
I don't have the Essie one, if I did I would have probably already done it. I did some googling, and found a few comparisons.
