Summer of Essie

I have harbored quite a love affair with Essie nail polish over the past few months. It really helps that I’ve found my own little secret location that sells each glorious shade for only $3 (totally fuels the obsession), so I’ve been growing a pretty serious collection. However, it’s always looking to expand, and these summer colors are definitely fitting the bill. ;)

1. Mint Candy Apple (check!)
2. Lapis of Luxury
3. Vermillionaire (check!)
4. Tart Deco (check!)
5. Neo Whimsical

What are some of your favorite polish shades for this summer?
ps; How cute is that tattoo pictured above?

    Ohh Essie, you have stolen my nail polish heart. ;) I am seriously becoming a nail polish hoarder and I don’t mind a bit!

    I might have to find Tart Deco – that looks seriously adorable. (also, I just got all caught up on your blog, if you couldn’t tell by my maelstrom of comments! ha)

      Totally agree! Essie’s colors are just so much more fun and youthful :)

      It’s gotten to the point that if the shade doesn’t have a ridiculous name, I get pissed of. It’s a must!
