Essie's Naughty Nautical Collection

For my birthday last week, I got a few of the Essie Summer 2013 Naughty Nautical collection.  Here are two of them that I am currently wearing.  These are almost kind of jelly-like polishes with a bit of silver/grey shimmer.  I really love the collection as a whole, but there where a few I probably wouldn't wear myself.

The coral color is Sunday Funday and the teal one I used for my accent nail is Naughty Nautical.  These are not fully opaque, but not quite sheer.  That's why I said they are almost a little jelly like.  I used two coats and the formula was great. 

Here are some pictures in natural light and in the direct sun light. 

What summer collections have you been eyeing/trying?

Ruby Wing's 'Peony' Color Changing Polish

I received Peony by Ruby Wing in a Birchbox last month.  I had never heard of this brand.  Aside from it being a great summer neon color, the thing that excited me the most is that it changes color in the sun!!!  Fun right!?  It goes from a neon coral color to a neon darker coral color.

It is really sheer.  I used three coats and it probably could have used four.  Next time, I'll use this over a white polish to help.  For an accent nail, I used China Glaze's 'Refresh Mint' which is one of my favorite mint colored polishes. 

Are there any other color changing polishes you have used?  I'd be interested to hear what other brands make them.

OPI's Bright Lights - Big Color

Welcome SPRING!  As Spring has hit hard (I know this because my allergies are out of control), I have a fun bright color to share with you all.  This is Bright Lights - Big Color from OPI.  It is a gorgeous peachy pink coral shimmer.  It has a great formula and dries nicely with no streaks.  I used two coats here.

I love that Spring is here and I can wear bright colors again without feeling like I'm 'breaking the rules'.  :)

What colors are you excited to wear for Spring?
