Summer Nails

I will be the first to say it, I am ADDICTED to nail polish.  Ever since I was about twelve, my sister and I have been buying and accumulating all types of nail polish.  Since I have such an obsession with it, I end up changing my color approximately once a week.  I wanted to share some polishes that have been given a lot of love this summer.
OPI: Oy- Another Polish Joke!, Moon Over Mumbai, Can't Find My Czechbook, You're Such A Budapest

 I tried to use 'Oy-Another Polish Joke' on all my nails, and I didn't love it.  However, it looks great as a accent nail or over certain colors.  'Moon over Mumbai' is such a pretty gray, and since it isn't too dark and has a slight shimmer, it is perfect as a muted summer color.  'Can't Find my Czechbook' has a good consistency and nice color payoff, with two coats you have a great summer blue.  Similarly, 'You're such a Budapest' has a nice constancy, and I absolutely LOVED this color on my finger nails.

Sinful Colors: Hottie, Pixi: Real Rose
I got both of these on clearance at Target a while back, and I am so happy I picked them up.  The sinful colors is great on top of blue hued varnishes.  'Real Rose' was one of my favorite toe colors, it almost looked neon-ish in the sun.

Essie: sand tropez, fiji, maintain avenue
Essie has some of my favorite nail polish, they do a good job with consistency (most of the time) and color.  'Sand Tropez' is a great neutral and can stay in a year-round collection. 'Fiji' is a great color, but the I was disappointed with the consistency. It took three-plus coats to get a nice opaque finish (color wise it was worth it, but I may look for a nicer consistency).  'Maintain Avenue' is my all time favorite Essie nail polish.  The color is amazing (even my mom, who doesn't wear nail polish LOVES this color) and with one - two coats you are good to go! I will repurchase this one once mine is gone.
One of my favorite combos of the summer was OPI Can't find my Czechbook with Sinful Colors Hottie as an accent.

Although warm weather is still shining on us, I'm looking forward to transitioning my nail polishes for the fall, but I absolutely loved these this summer.
