The future's bright

Just after finding the perfect spring nail polish, summer comes along! But after all it wasn't perfect, it chipped and was not quite the right colour i was looking for, the colour i'm talking is OPI Strawberry Margarita. Its a classic with nail polish fanatics but im starting to think that opi nail varnish doesn't work with my nails!

I came across Mac's Plasma blue, a shimmery blue. The blueness drew me to it, but i knew it just wasn't me. Chanels Flamingo nail polish is very me and something i would typically wear. But i wanted to try something new and different this year. I then stumbled across Chanels "Robertson Boulevard" collection, and instantly fell in love with L.A Sunset, a perfect orange with no shimmer, just a gorgeous orange. It's not available until July and even then we don't know when in July. So i began searching on Ebay as i knew it was available to buy in the robertson store. The beginning price is already pricey at $25 but to my dismay the cheapest was $35!

But soon i came up with an almost identical nail polish for $6! It's Zoya's Heidi from the Gossip collection! I've added to my wish list which i'll be purchasing all the items in a few days !!
Orange nail polish is quite a new and bright thing for me, as i dress in rather neutral colours and hardly wear neon's! granted i do love orange tops so maybe that's why! I've always worn pinks or nudes on my nails so i am excited with the prospect of a fab bright summery colour!

you should try OPI russian navy. its a dark (navy) blue with a little shimmer. not as in your face as the "plasma blue"

I own the orange Zoya nail polish. I've had it for a while I inherited it from a giving friend who was too shy for the orange. It's a great color :) And I think it works really well.

I love that shade! The orange I own is too bright/strong.

Oh, and just to say, my favorite shade right now is 'Shimmering Sand'. Its the prettiest pale color.

i love my nails painted, but it's hard for me to do them well, so I'm always colorless! love the colors you posted about.
