My favorite summer nail polishes.

For summer I love to wear bright nail polish colors. They are fun and bring attention to your nails and you can use your nail polish to accessorize your beach outfit! I don't like to wear jewelery to the beach because it can get lost or ruined by the sand. So instead of wearing necklace or bracelet to the beach to complete my outfit I simply paint my nails! Here are some of my favorite nail polishes:Essie Turquoise&Caicos is a beautiful turquoise with a cream finish. I looooove minty green nail polish. It sucks that we don't have Essie here, in Latvia, I'd defiantly try it. I am searching a dupe for it right now. If you have found a good one, please, let me know. :)


Orly Blue Collar is a gorgeous bright blue color with a cream finish. Orly is my absolute favorite nail polish brand. I love how their perfectly shaped bottles have rubberized handle, they glide on perfectly, aren't tacky or sticky, last long on my nails. I love the fact that they come in small 5.4 ml bottles too because I have never finished a whole entire bottle of nail polish and I prefer to buy 3 mini ones that will cost me the same as a full size one especially when it comes to high end nail polish.


Orly Lemonade. An another gorgeous summer shade. Pale pastel-y yellow creme. It brings out tan perfectly and makes you look a lot tanner.


Golden Rose 322. Orange is really in this summer, but i don't like yo wear pumpkin orange on my nails, it just doesn't look good with my skin color. So this orange-y red creme is perfect.

As you can tell, I love cream nail polishes. I don't really like sparkly ones, but I adore chunky glitter ones. Of course, you can wear whatever you want, these are just my summer favorites. Have fun and rock your bright nails,
