Nail Polish for Spring/Summer

By -
I'm not one to paint my nails often. During the cold weather I stick to clear polish expect for Christmastime when I might dab on some "I'm Not Really A Waitress." Sandal weather is what brings out the box of nail polish. I can't have unpainted toes so while I'm at it, I usually paint my fingers too. This season has an array of popular colors from neutrals to to pretty not-quite-pastels to bold fluorescents. I'm partial to color this time of year, but the pretty browns are also calling my name. What's your polish pick for spring and summer?

The Neutrals. Browns, mauves, nudes and barely there polish were hot of the runways for spring. They have a classy touch among the seasons brighter colors.Pictured:
Commander In Chic, Sally Hansen, Walgreens $6.50
Satin Sheets, Cover Girl Queen, Target, $3.09
Cocoa Motion, Maybelline, Target $3.49
Going Nude, Eh?, Sephora by OPI, Sephora $9

The Colors. Pretty pinks, bright sky blues, orange-y red and perfect purples take the top color spots this season. They signal playfulness and summer fun. Pictured:
Ooh La La, Sonia Kashuk, Target $3.99
Calypso Blue, Salley Hansen, Walmart $6.50
Fiery Red, Love & Beauty, Forever 21 $2.80
Purple Rain, Sonia Kashuk, Target $3.99

The Fluorescents. Theses bright yellows, brighter greens, popping pinks and bold blues make pure neon punch a perfect addition for any summer look. They also make it easy to add a pop of color without overdoing it. Pictured:
Lite, Sally Hansen HD, Walgreens $5.99
Pink, Hard Candy, Walmart $5
Grass Slipper, Sally Hansen, Walgreens $7.49
Rhythmic Blue, Cover Girl Queen, Target $3.09

Neutrals, I found this beautiful pale pink that is the exact same shade as my skin, looks really cute!

I mostly paint just my toes--taking care of a baby is not great for a manicure! I pretty much stick with black, pewter, dark purple, and dark blue, but I saw an amazing bright green at the store the other day that I loved. And over the winter I grabbed two of Zoya's glittery shades--the silver one is VERY festive!

I think the dark colors chip the best. It looks intentional whereas when my beige chips it looks like I have a problem with my nails.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
