I always find that I have more time during the summer to paint my nails! I love going to the salon and finding new colors and brands to try out, and sometimes straying away from my normal colors. While I gravitate towards pinks and neutrals, sometimes a great blue or green can really jump out at you. What's the worst that happens? In a week the polish will chip off and you know for next time that Cotton Candy Blue wasn't your color.
I've always been a wee jealous of my sister's nails (hi I know you're reading this) and she can literally pull off any color under the sun. The last time I saw her she was rocking OPI's "That's Hula-rious!" and so I highlighted it above a trendy color for summer. She's seriously hand model material! I think it would look great paired with a mauve color on the toes.
As for a classic look, I am always a fan of nudes and reds. My all time favorite nude, pictured above, is Essie's "Spin the Bottle" from Spring 2014. It's not a very common or popular color, and when my mom finally hunted it down and sent it to me at school I nearly screamed with joy. This looks great with a basic red on the toes, and is also office appropriate if you'll be working this summer.
On the opposite end of the spectrum we have bright and bold looks. These rainbow pairings of blue/purple and yellow/green are totally on point for the summer months. I think they would both be awesome and daring if you're looking for a fun summer look that is a little bit different. Nails in a unique color can really be the center of attention, and these definitely do the job.
As much as I try to stray from the norm, I always seem to come back to pinks! Light pink, hot pink, neon pink, doesn't matter. I can be seen sporting all different shades as the days heat up and I hit the beach. These colors are perfect for a girly look and make for a no-fail summer mani pedi.
The look I'll probably be rocking most this summer is the edgy gray and orange combo. This pair works because the gray is just neutral enough, and a cool toned orange pulls it all together. The gray pictured is another one of my all-time favorites, "Take it Outside" by Essie. Another non-cult favorite, I was so happy to snatch this up when I saw it in stores.
