California Dreamin of Julep's New July Maven California Coast Collection

Stunning. Just stunning. Julep has done it again. The California Coast collection is just gorgeous. And when you take into consideration the quality of Julep polishes, you've got nothing to lose. The collection features 10 polishes, a sea salt spray and a beach tonic (body oil) 

Nail of the Day: Essie The Girls Are Out

Essie has just released their summer collection called "Naughty Nautical" and it has 6 shades. I only grabbed 4, skipping over the lime green and the pale blue because it reminded me too much of Bikini So Teeny. This is The Girls are Out.

The Girls Are Out is a plummy/fuschia with pinkish silver glitter. This polish is one of the more shimmery of the collection however it doesn't always look glittery, its more one of those "catching the light" type glitters. The name makes me think that some celebrities have gone wild but nonetheless I love it and it looks awesome on my toesies.

I really like the formula on this one. When I saw that there was glitter in it I was a little worried that it would be super streaky or super thin, its a really nice consistency and is fully opaque in 2 coats. It settles out and wears very nicely on the nails. *The color did separate in the bottle a bit so make sure you mix it up well.

What do you guys think? Did you grab anything from the collection? 

Nail of the Day: Essie In the Cab-ana

So this is definitely one of my favorite summer nail colors. Essie calls it a self-assured aqua azure, and I would have to agree. Its bright, vibrant and just looks better the tanner you get. Of course I'm talking about Essies In the Cab-ana.

In the Cab-ana is a very smooth, creme aqua. It reached full opacity in 2 coats. The first coat was a tad bit streaky but the second coat covered that right up. Basically it's everything I love in a nailpolish. This is one of 4 colors in the 2013 resort collection and its my absolute favorite of the 4. I was really surprised to see that I didn't have a similar color in my collection but I was more than happy to add it in.

So what do you guys think? Do you have any must have summer colors?

Nail of the Day: Sinful Colors in Thimbleberry

Hey guys! so I've been obsessed with Essie's new color Come Here! however I've been less than impressed with its formulation, its very tacky and thick and just very hard to work with. So I went on a mission to find a dupe to say the least. This is what I found! Sinful Colors Thimbleberry!

Thimbleberry is a watermelon/poppy red creme. Very similar to Come Here by Essie. Thimbleberry is ever so slightly more pinkish but its hardly noticeable. This formula was very easy to work with, the first coat was a little bit streaky but it reached full opacity by 2 coats. In the past I haven't been super excited about Sinful Colors formulas but this one may just change my mind.

So what do you guys think? I've never been a fan of reds for summer but I really like this. Do you guys have any favorite summer colors?
