Refinery29 just wrote about the six coolest nail polish trends, and I'd love to try baby blue and very, very pale pink (I actually wore this exact pink at our wedding). Wouldn't they look pretty peeking out of sandals?Do you have a nail-polish color you swear by?
Essie! Its my favorite. It never fails. The colors are awesome and it truly lasts. I blog about them each Monday... I'm addicted!
ReplyDeleteand it's cheap! :)
ReplyDeleteEssie is my favorite too but I just learned about a new eco-friendly polish and did my last blog post about it... enjoy Scotch! http://giftsthatgive.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteAnd... just loved your post and the links! Pale pink and blue... great minds...
ReplyDeletefor a fun but discreet colour, i also love particuliere by chanel!
ReplyDeleteawesome! love following your blog joanna, congrats!

Love the pale pinks. I just bought my very first Essie color - geranium, and I absolutely adore it! It's so spunky on my toes and I only needed one coat. I don't think I can go back to any other brand. :)
ReplyDeleteessie's geranium! it's the perfect red - not too blood red. i call it "tomato soup red" because it's got a hint of orange in there. it's my standard go-to.
ReplyDeleteEssie French Affair. LOVE
ReplyDeleteLove these pastel colors. Great picks Jo!

Approve! Love pale colours in the summer!
ReplyDeleteJust a Silhouette
OPI in Cajun Shrimp, a great bright pink/orange-ish that's perfect for the summer!
ReplyDeleteI usually go for red but I really want my toes to be baby blue for summer...That is such a pretty colour and I adore Essie:) Kisses
ReplyDeleteused to be an only OPI girl but ever since I saw Emily wearing "Fiji" by Essie on the Bachelor I cannot get enough of it. Obsessed. Even blogged about it.

LOVE Essie and lovelovelove blue nail polish this season! I just bought their Coat Azure a few weeks ago and totally fell in love. It's such a calm, happy blue. I almost bought a pale peachy pink yesterday, now I'm totally rethinking my decision to not get it.
ReplyDeleteI went on a real pastel nail color kick way back when i was in high school, so I doubt I could have my nails laquered pastel without bringing back bad fashion memories!
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm pretty strict about my nails: my fingernails are always nude or coated in clear. Only! My toes are more fun-- at the moment they are red, but I just picked up a robin's egg blue that I will wear this weekend.
I love essies Fiji, and mango bango
ReplyDeletehttp://www.pinkpeonieswithlove.blogspot.com
Giada DeLaurentis wears Bubble Bath by OPI and I have looked for it everywhere but cannot find it. Her nails are always so pretty. I love light colors like these for hands and a beautiful deep red for toes.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new line of American Apparel nail polish. Especially Mouse, it's the perfect grey!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.alllacqueredup.com/2010/04/american-apparel-nail-lacquer-swatches-review.html
I'm usually pretty loyal to Essie, but I've been really liking American Apparel's new line of polish. My current favorites by them are "poppy," it's orangish in color and awesome for summer and "rosebowl," is a really pretty rose color that's awesome for any time :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the blue!
ReplyDeleteEssie and OPI really have the best quality nail polishes out there! But Claire's has got some pretty cool colors that can do the job if you want to experiment with different shades.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with glitter and orange nail polishes at the moment.
xx,
Ale.
http://leblogdeale.blogspot.com
That was random that Amanda and I posted at the same time about the same line of polish. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOPI's "Paint My Mojitos" is my fav-fav summer color for fingers AND toes. It's the perfect shade of coral, not too red and not too orange. Plus, it's surprisingly neutral.
ReplyDeleteI love pail pink polish, but to me, blue polish makes people look as if they must be very, very cold!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteOPI " I Pink I Love You"
ReplyDeleteYou can wear it translucent or opaque - it is THE BEST.
Looks like a boy or girl blog post? :D
ReplyDeleteKeys to My Karma, OPI.
ReplyDeletei'm an essie geranium girl as well!!
ReplyDeletebest color eva!
colorama's absento! it's kind of minty, the way I wear it, and people always grab my hand and say "whay a beautiful polish!"
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have paid for it, though.. it's my roomate's
Joanna, it's so funny - when you posted about maxi skirts I had bought one the same day, then you posted on stripes I think and I was wearing a striped top - not that unusual really - and I just bought an Essie polish in Mint Candy Apple! (the colour of a Tiffany box)
ReplyDeleteThis photo is the perfect birth announcement if you had boy & girl twins!
ReplyDeleteI love coral in the summer, on toes and fingernails.
ReplyDeleteI love the pale blue- I rocked that one last summer! This summer I would love to have mint green piggies;)
ReplyDeleteEssie and OPI are my faves- OPI's I'm Not Really a Waitress and You don't know Jaques are always in frequent rotation.
I'm currently in love with Essie's Chinchilly gray color. Way fab.
ReplyDeletei've been wearing "butter" polish...blue on my toes right now!
ReplyDeleteEssie's Sugar Daddy - the palest sheer pink - is on my nails. And their Nice is Nice - an opaque pale lavender - on my toes. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAlso Bubble Bath by OPI - the original pale pink version.
I'm definitely going to have to try that baby blue! My nails are neon pink right now. It'll be a nice switch up.
ReplyDeleteLove these colors!
ReplyDeleteI do love Essie. Ballet Slipper and Geranium are my faves!
ReplyDeleteI ♥ me some butter london! I'm currently in love with Hoorah Henri, Bumster and Rosie Lee
ReplyDeleteI have just recently been won over by Essie. I love it! I am normally a bright pink, red, and bright coral type of girl, but these pale pinks and nudes are calling my name! I might have to go pick a few up.
ReplyDeletei love love love that baby blue color. i might just have to go get it. it reminds me a little bit of the gray trend, which i love as well.

OPI-loyal over here, and my go-to faves are My Daddy's the King (neutral peachy-pink), Lincoln Park After Dark (the.best.dark.brown.), and I'm Not Really a Waitress (perfect red).
ReplyDeleteOPI's I've Got the Blues for Red in my toes. It's a gorgeous deep shade of red. On my hands I like OPI's What's a Tire Jack, a nice shiny black.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a waitress by opi though they "improved" their formula and it doesn't last long anymore at all. also this gorgeous gold glitter by china glaze - medallion I think its called.
ReplyDeleteYes....OPI red!!! Love it! :-]
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing the same pink at our wedding in 2 weeks!!!
ReplyDeleteyes! i just scored a bottle of essie's ballet slippers for TWO dollars in a sale bin. i was shocked and delighted :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a nail polish junkie. The more colors, the better! Right now my toes are sparkly blue and my fingernails are pink. I'm really feeling orange for this summer, too. So glad we're back to sandal season!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the baby blue! I love wearing nail polish on short nails in the summer. I think it's because I need to accessorize without wearing more clothes! Right now I am rocking China Glaze "for audrey" on my toes and Essie "tart deco" on my fingernails! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not into nail polishes I prefer nude nails but the pink one is cute :)
ReplyDeletehttp://girlynote.blogspot.com
although i mostly wear essie and OPI i swear, by ulta brand 'vintage violet'. i get so many compliments on it, it's insane!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost always an Essie girl (I wore Ballet Slippers at my wedding too and am wearing Trophy Wife right now because its screams fun holiday weekend) but OPI's Cajun Shrimp is my summer favorite!
ReplyDeletehttp://i-dabble.blogspot.com
Racy Rouge! perfect for summer
ReplyDeleteEssie chips off so quickly for me! Even when I do a top clear coat. ): I don't care for it. The colors are so pretty it's disappointing that it's such a terrible polish
ReplyDeletei have worn OPI Got the Blues for Red for soo long now. like 4 years i would guess. my new fav. though is Essie Cute as a Button. I love this pale pink by essie though!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite color is this ancient Sally Hansen bottle I have that is called Two-Timer. It is a soft shimmery blue/green that looks one color in one light and the other in another light. I love it! And it's pretty sheer, so I can do one coat for a little or a bunch for an all over strong color.
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt my best summer shade is YSL Orange Flamboyant. Amazeballs with a tan.
ReplyDeleteAh, what a beautiful colour for a wedding! Barry M have similar shades for summer. I've already bought the blue but I'm dying to go get the pink; the fact that it's called 'peach melba' makes it all the more irresistible to me! lol xxx
ReplyDeletewww.strawberrycreamssapphiredreams.blogspot.com
I usually go for a pale pink, but would love to try the pale blue ~ fun and different!
ReplyDeletei am wearing this exact pink right now!! it's my go to color for day-to-day, and for fun lately i've been mixing it up with a gorgeous bluish dark gray, and for a pop of color i love to swipe on a shimmery orange called "crushed" - it makes me feel energized & summery!
ReplyDeleteI love that pale pink- I'm always looking for something pale, pale, pale. Also, don't you love to think of it as nail "varnish" instead of "polish"? Very Agatha Christie.
ReplyDeletei got a super 80's bubble gum pink. super fun. i normally wear a pale gray called "wet cement" from sally henson. and the mustard color from American Apparel
ReplyDeleteAlways Essie's Ballet Slippers, unless I do a classic French. The French Mani and Pedi never seems to go out of style here in the South.
ReplyDeletePetra
I've been eying that baby blue for our wedding. For the past 10+ years I have only worn white and extremely pale pink nail polishes (weird, I know). This year I've totally branched out, bring on the blue!
ReplyDeletelove these! I have always likes Ballet SLippers. Its a close second to Essie's Mademoiselle which is more sheer then this one. And that blue- love it! Wouldn't that be nice on my toes for my October wedding... just a bit showing through my peep toe shoes. Theres my Something Blue! :)
ReplyDeletelesley(dot)zinn(at)2kgames(dot)com
I love blue nail polish! My fav is the dark blue one from chanel. I love it on my toes all year round.

I love essie along with OPI. Those colors are perfect summer colors. Love your blog!
ReplyDeletegiveitagoblog.blogspot.com
I love the idea of baby blue!
ReplyDeleteessie's fondola gondola for a punchy pink and chubby cheeks for that perfect coral. unfortunately they were exclusive to j.crew but I am sure you can find an equivalent.
ReplyDeletei adore the pale pink! how pretty. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI swear by Wicked, Little Brown Dress, Chinchilly, Sugar Daddy, Blushing Bride, and Mademoiselle by Essie. I'm a creature of habit, so I still haven't quite ventured off to more adventurous colors, but just might take the leap this summer!
ReplyDeleteI love that baby blue! Can't wait to try out some new colors for the summer. I just got a new lilac color from essie.
ReplyDeletecute nailpolish colors perfect for summer
ReplyDeletefeel free to see my blog and comment
:D
I love essie! My bestie got me hooked! I think I'll have to add the baby blue one to my collection!
ReplyDeleteAbegail
I have that pink polish and it is so subtle and pretty. Right now I'm very inspired by all of the resort collections bright nails so I got a red polish with an orange tint, I'm in love!
ReplyDeletefrench on my toes, always, and pale yellow on my fingers. it's a great, fun, summer color.
ReplyDeleteyes, i am loving the baby blue...
ReplyDeletea few weeks ago i "borrowed" my sister-in-law's bright teal polish for my toenails... and it's yet to make it's way back to her! :) i'm really loving that super-pale pink though, might need to upgrade!
ReplyDeletexx
i swear by anything essie! just had my toes done that blue and i love it.
ReplyDeleteOoh, beautiful colours!!! I always wear shades that are much too bright :p
ReplyDeleteThat pink is now on my shopping list - thanks joanna!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else had streaking problems with essie's paler opaque colours? I'm thinking the pink looks sheerish and would be fine but the blue looks a might dangerous to me.
once burned and all that!
I just blogged about essie a few days ago! I have sand tropez! I love it! Its a nude sandy color! I love this brand because not only are the colors beautiful but the wear lasts forever!!! I love it!! Also, I love those two colors!!
ReplyDeletecuuute. i love pastels with tan toes. yesterday i just posted something on this subject on my tumblr, here:
ReplyDeletehttp://andrearosabella.tumblr.com/post/5849257446/i-love-this-nail-polish-color-for-toes-ze
the color is rimmel's 60 seconds magnetise. sadly though, my toes aren't even close to tan in this photo yet (thank you, black & white focus tool :) )
happy weekend, jo!
I love them! I wear a very pretty pink in the winter on my toenails and red in the summer!
ReplyDeleteLove these colors! I wear pink nail polish all of the time. I always like to switch things up with blue :)

You can't go wrong with Essie! I'm a huge fan of pale pink...definitely my go to!
ReplyDeleteOrange! I love a sherbert-y orange in the summer.....but lately I've been wearing a light turquoise almost seafoam. It looks so nice with my gold sandals and all the coral I've been wearing lately :)
ReplyDeletetoes have been Sally Hansen's Pat on the Black (dark purple) forever and I do not like them paler anymore...
ReplyDeleteBLUE! OMG BABAY BLUE LOOKS SO FINE!!! I want it so much xxx
ReplyDeleteI have found a couple of the new Sally Hansen's that i love...First Kiss, a pink, and Barracuda a pale turquoise!

So, no real favorites to speak of. I love the idea of the palest of pale baby blues. I have one in my collection but it's brighter and bolder, more robin's egg. The baby blue feels like a tall glass of ice water for the summer. Love it!
http://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/
OPI "You Don't Know Jacques" is my absolute favorite.
ReplyDeleteRed. Always red. I only wear this one nail polish that is deep red indoors, and bright perffffffect red in the light. It's terrible though and I have to coat it.
ReplyDeleteOPI Hearts to Tarts. Plus a protecting top coat, also from OPI.
ReplyDeleteche carini!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the best one is warm orange, siena color. like this here: agatamelnykphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/planning-bologne.html - it's my post about this color! It's increadible but it's siuts to every thing!
ReplyDeleteI love nude nails! And I also turn to mushroomy colours too pretty often too xxx
ReplyDeletemy fave right now is MonSooner or Later by OPI - it´s an orange/red shade and I love it on my toenails with nice nude flipflops on my feet! gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove these colors. Particularly the baby blue!
ReplyDeleteFashionable Collections
Sugar daddy!!
ReplyDeleteIt kills me - Essie & OPI polishes are more than twice as expensive over here in Europe. And drugstore polishes are pathetic, compared with what you can get in the states for $5. I'll be stocking up on all these when I'm back this summer!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors - Revlon Tropical Temptation and Chanel Rouge Noir.
Without a doubt, Chanel Vamp is and always will be my favorite. I mean, who can resist a polish worn by Mia Wallace?!
ReplyDeleteI am also digging a Sally Hansen shade (slate) I just got at Wal-Mart and painted on my nails last night. http://www.polyvore.com/sally_hansen_insta-dri_fast_dry/thing?id=32546954

Wearing Essie's Muchi Muchi at the moment. Love it - its a cotton candy pink. Recently did a blog post on their polish as well.. Pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteblue-away, Sally hansens insta-dry.
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite shade for spring!
I love Essie's Mod Squad (hot pink!) and short shorts (red-orange!). I also love OPI's glitter polishes.
ReplyDeleteI've always been an OPI girl but this summer I treated myself to a few Essie colors and I'm loving them. Currently I'm obsessed with 'turquoise + caicos' ...a tealish seafoam hue that everyone wants to borrow!
ReplyDeleteI love these colors, I prefer pale colors to bold ones. Hugs and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBallet Slippers has long been one of my faves as well! I just wrote about my love for it last week!
ReplyDeletehttp://hemsandherbs.com/2011/05/18/shades-of-recovery/
Essie's Chinchilly!
ReplyDeleteMy college roommate turned me on to Ballet Slippers. I'm not usually drawn to things that are "dainty" but the name alone is irresistible! My favorite bold color is Dutch Tulips by OPI. I have yet to find a better pinky/red that works for every season.
ReplyDeleteCute colors! Most of the time I wear red.
ReplyDeleteWe love both colors!
ReplyDeleteI definitely swear by a great bright coral color - makes you look tan and spring-ready!
ReplyDeletehttp://mstwirlyskirts.com
I love Essie's over the edge. It's my favorite, a deep midnight metallic.
ReplyDeleteOk, ok, I love these... but friends, nail polish is so bad for you. Joanna, any leads on any chemical free nail polish? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCute idea for favors at a baby shower!
ReplyDeleteMy fave for years has been Essie's Mademoiselle. (another pale pink)
Love your blog!
Ohh I love Essie color Nice is Nice. Perfect pale lavender!
ReplyDelete@The Collector:
ReplyDeleteThose nail polish:
