Three Nail Colors I’m Loving

I’ve always preferred my nails polished instead of bare. I’ll let my nails breathe for a day or two in between at-home manicures, but that’s about the only time they’re naked! You wouldn’t know it from the excessive collection of colors that I have, but I typically rotate between just a few colors each season. I find my favorites and keep going back for more! The same has been true this summer; I’ve got a pink, a neutral, and a fun pop of color.

My favorite neutral has been Pre-Show Jitters. It’s a near-white with a pretty pink undertone. It definitely takes two hearty coats to cover my nails nicely, so keep that in mind if you use it!

I’m loving the bright pinky-purple of Haute to Trot for my pink option. It’s bright and fun, but isn’t neon or too in-your-face.

When I’m feeling especially saucy (making this word happen again, by the way), I love First View. It’s a pretty baby blue that’s fun for the season!

Essie Gel Couture is the only nail polish that lasts more than a day or two for me, which is why it’s the only one I use! I finish with the top coat for a guaranteed 5-day manicure (sometimes longer when I’m not working – I’m tough on my nails!)

    I'm sure you can make "saucy" happen – it's such an underused word! I love all three of these colors. I'm the opposite of you, I rarely have my fingernails painted!

    Essie gel polish is the best! I wash my hands a lot during the day and it’s the only polish that can last like regular gel! Definitely be checking out these colors!

    Totally agree! My last manicure with Essie gel lasted almost 14 days! I was shocked! I love pre-show jitters this time of year! I am not a 'pink' girl so it's perfect without the 'whiteout' look!

    I have a very difficult time finding ESSIE polishes. I see all the fabulous colors but unable to find them. I would really rather see the colors before buying them
    I am asking for assistance in finding all of ESSIE polishes & nail treatments.
