Some people collect stamps, I collect nail polish. I am pretty sure this habit stems back to the good old days of working in the Beauty Shop during my high school days and throughout college. I would literally buy every new color that hit our shelves. Since I’ve left the salon, the habit still goes on.
I can’t help but be drawn to pastels colors during Spring time. I love the soft, feminine look against my skin. I’ve narrowed it down to some of my favorite oldies and newbies.
OPI- Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs This color has always been a favorite of mine. Not only is the color the perfect milky pink, but the name is pretty cute too. This is a color that everyone should own and not just save for Spring and Summer. I’ve been known to wear soft pinks year round. Something about a soft pink just screams “chic”.
ESSIE- Rock the Boat When I saw this color on the shelf it stood out in such a fun way. But I was a little apprehensive to wear such a daring color. I tried it anyways and I kid you not, it’s the one that I get the most compliments on. I love wearing it! It’s a fun way to break up the normal and still keep it age appropriate. Go Ginza is another pretty lavender. I love the chalky color, especially with a little sun. Tarte Deco is my absolute favorite coral pastel. It has a lot of white in it so it’s pretty “chalky”, but it is a great color for Spring or Summer. I love this color on fingers or toes…either way it’s a winner!
DEBORAH LIPPMANN- Daytripper is a the perfect pop of pink! Not quite a neon, (which I love) but the right amount of pop while still having that pastel look.
