Essie in Watermelon
Brand: Essie Nail Lacquer
Shade: Watermelon
(bright pink color, glossy finish)
Cost: $$
The Scoop:
Ok, it's not quite summer yet, but watermelon is my favorite kind of melon and I can't wait to eat lots of it this summer. Until then, I'll just look at my pretty nails.

Essie in Topless & Barefoot
Brand: Essie Nail Lacquer
Shade: Topless & Barefoot
(nude color, glossy finish)
Cost: $$
The Scoop:
Ok, don't look at this one up close. I took it at the END of my manicure, not the beginning. But I was kind of amazed that I had this on for 10 DAYS! So, it's a little dull, and has tiny chips, but it looks pretty good. Nice work, Essie!

Lauren B Beauty in Santorini Seduction
Brand: Lauren B Beauty 7-Free Nail Couture
Shade: Santorini Seduction
(deep navy blue color, glossy finish)
Cost: $$$$
The Scoop:
I found this shade on Beauty Habit, and I loooooove it. I think if you look at my fave shades, you'll find 100 navys. I'm SO glad someone invented it as a nail color. And this one is great because it went on super smooth without any streaks. Two coats did the trick!

Shade: Winning Streak
(gray purple color, glossy finish)
Cost: $$
The Scoop:
This lucky shade is a nice alternative to greens around St. Patty's Day (or is it Paddy's Day?). Maybe if you wear it, you'll find a pot of gold! And if you do, please call me.

Butter London in Scrumptious
Brand: Butter London 3 Free Nail Lacquer-Vernis
Shade: Scrumptious
(magenta purple color, glossy finish)
Cost: $$$
The Scoop:
I'm loving this shade for Feb. I feel like red is too racy (and predictable), pink is too sweet. This dark magenta color feels sophisticated. Scrumptious, indeed!

Happy 2018! You might be hung over from last night, but your fingers aren't. This is a great shade to keep the celebration going into the new year. Plus, it's got a gold cap so you know it's fancy...

Sally Hanson in Game of Chromes
Brand: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel
Shade: Game of Chromes
(matte gold color, metallic finish)
Cost: $$$
The Scoop:
I don't think this is like the gel polish you'd get in a salon -- it's not nearly as thick. But it's prob better for your nails! And I do love this shade. It didn't chip, it more kind of rubbed off on the edges after a week or so. I can live with that.

Butter London in Cool Britannia
Brand: Butter London 3 Free Nail Lacquer-Vernis
Shade: Cool Britannia
(blue black color, glossy finish)
Cost: $$$
The Scoop:
I'm always a fan of a dark nail. I love Butter too. And, it's nice that they make mini sizes that are less expensive than the biggies (though I generally buy them in packs, so that kinda defeats the purpose). What I didn't love was how this stained my nails REALLY badly when I took it off... Mr Clean Magic Eraser to the rescue!
