Hot sunny weather made me want some bright sunny polish! There are no names on these mini bottles but both are Sally Hansen Insta Dri. Both creams, a coral and a purple.

I love browns, and not many of is wear a rich one. I hope you do do we can see it!

Will do. With a tan, I'm not sure how it will look with my skintone. I'm seeing how dark I'm getting already and don't want it blending in with my skin! I'm pondering a darker shade. I can see the Essie for example flattering a fair skinned person more than than my medium skin. I tan extremely easily. The Pros&Bronze is already matching my skin and I've gotten like 30 mins tops of sun in the past few days (with an SPF 50).

I usually wear a shimmery pink on my toes and my fingers bare. I'm very minimalistic but have been loving all your pics! What flatters a medium or medium-tan skintone? Plum? I can't do blue or anything "wild." I looked at Kroger's polishes today. All they have is Revlon and I couldn't see most of the colors looking good on me. Wal-mart.com has a brownish-red from Sally Hansen I'm considering.
With a tan, you could do some gold browns if they worked?

Hmm... I'm not crazy about gold or silvertones. But thank you. I found a couple of Sally Hansens I like on wal-mart's site - Cinna Snap and Rapid Red. I may get one or both since I was planning an order anyway. They're red brown and a corally red. I still want a plain dark brown. I may go to Sally's so I can see more brands in person. I think they have Orly and China Glaze which I've been wanting to check out.

I love both Cinna snap and Rapid red. Cinna snap was my manicure last week. It's one of my favs.

Look what I bought at CVS today!!! I actually bought it for DD but I'm stealing the pink. It has 6 colors, 1 top coat, a box of stickers and a white polish for nail art, toe separators, and a file. And all in a cute little bucket!

ETA I didn't attach the pic. I am a genius.

Post pics if you wear them again soon (please)!

My hands are back to clear (SH Hard as Nails in Clear) with SH Diamond Strength in Diamonds on top. Toes are SH Hard as Nails in Champagne with a coat of Diamonds.

Hands are very boring but I added a pic anyway. I love the Diamonds tho the pics don't show it very well. Remnants of my OPI are there b/c my remover sux.

There's a pic of Cinna snap back on page 142. I'm sure Rapid Red is in this thread somewhere, probably back around Xmas.

I was gonna say I went back a couple pages but musta skipped that one. Ooooh that is beautiful! I'm definitely getting it now! It looks a lot different than on the site - darker, richer. *Goes to look for Rapid Red pic.*

Is the coral 'Snappy Sorbet'? I really like how it looks on your nails (if it is that one), but in other pictures it looks more neon. No bueno.

^^ Sorry, sew n sew, there are no names on the mini bottles and I can't find the set online. It is brighter than it looks in my pic above, but not what I'd call super neon-y.

My crazy glitter experiment is still holding up well but I really want to re paint today. I want to use Sally Hanson's Quick Sand as my base polish. I can't decide if I should throw ring-a-ding on top of it or do a stamp in black (and maybe add a large piece of glitter here and there). I've not gotten to play with my stamps yet and I'm feeling a little welcome to the jungle today.



I also have to wait until the BFF gets his lazy butt out of bed. I'm not sure if the smell of polish will give him a migraine. If it does, I'm SOL until he goes home.

Tell me about it! I was on the hunt for my light peachy/pink polish and light pink glitter polish yesterday. I couldn't find either. I really need to organize my polish. The quick sand color I'm going to use has to be 3 or 4 years old. I found it in the back of my bathroom cabinet, where I keep the cleaners.

The Bestie is gone, and I've slightly reworked my nail game plan. I can't wait to get started!
