NOTD: Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Dusk And Summer

Two coats of Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Dusk And Summer. Magenta Cream.

Dusk And Summer was the color I was least excited about from Deborah Lippmann's summer collection - not because it's ugly by any means {it's gorgeous tbh}, but because this color has been done so much in recent polish collections that I'm just over it. If you don't have this color in your personal collection, however, you'll dig it.

The formula here was v easy to work with. I will admit that it was thinner than the other shades in the collection; but it still reached opacity quickly.

What nail color are you rocking for #ManicureMonday?

OPI California Dreaming 4PC Mini Set Swatches + Review

As a Cali girl I honestly couldn't not buy OPI's California Dreaming 4PC Mini Set when I spotted it at Ulta; but it was kiiiind of a letdown for me. Don't get me wrong, the formulas were brilliant, and the shades beautiful; but I found that all four colors included were far too similar {with a couple feeling more apropos for fall}. Take a looksee below!

This Is Not Whine Country is a Merlot Cream. Kicking this post off with swatches of one of my least favorite colors from the collection. Don't get me wrong, This Is Not Whine Country would be perf for fall; but as a summer shade? Just not feeling it. I'm also not feeling the formula. Such. A. Pain. It's thin and sticky, making it nearly impossible to get a truly even coat. Plus, even with a trio of layers, VNL is still visible. Womp womp. This is 3 coats.

Malibu Pier Pressure is a Cotton Candy Pink Cream. Fact: Pinks like Malibu Pier Pressure are basically a summer essential - they're simply too hot and bubbly not to add to your mani mix! I was a liiiittle bit surprised at how many coats this baby needed to get full coverage; but the formula was easy to work with and the end result is so girly and fun that I can't complain. A word of warning: this one dries matte, so you need a great top coat to score that killer shine! This is 3 coats.

Santa Monica Beach Peach is a Punchy Orange Cream. Don't let the name fool you, Santa Monica Beach Peach is the farthest thing from a peach shade, and I'm kind of not okay with that. In general, I'm not huge on orange shades; but this one in particular is a fail for me, because it doesn't even feel like a summer orange. Rather, the red undertones give it a fall feel {much like This Is Not Whine Country}. Formula was fab though. This is 2 coats.

Time For A Napa is a Bubbly Hot Coral Cream. I alwaysalwaysalways gravitate towards pink-leaning corals when the temps rise, so Time For A Napa immediately caught my eye - and not just because the name is too cute for words! This bad boy right here was made for the beach! Though the color of Time For A Napa is overall bright, it applies v thin, so you do need multiple coats to avoid VNL. The good news? It's a low-maintenance mani, and stays intact for up to five days. Huzzah! This is 3 coats.

AVAILABILITY: Ulta.

PRICE: $14.50 for the 4PC Mini Set; $10.00 for each full-size bottle.

NOTD: Morgan Taylor Selfie Nail Lacquer Collection in No Filter Needed

Three coats of Morgan Taylor Selfie Nail Lacquer Collection in No Filter Needed. Neon Blue Creme.

Cheers to a nail polish company fiiiiinally releasing a blue shade for the season, amiright?!

Aside from having a bomb name, No Filter Needed is the perfectperfectperfect playful hue for the warmer months; bringing a kickbutt amount of oomph to your summer manis and pedis!

The formula here is v thin despite the strong pigmentation; however, it doesn't require underwear to give it that bright effect, which makes it ultra-worthy of your collection!

Two coats of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails XtremeWear Nail Color in Babe Blue. Periwinkle Blue Creme.

I live for baby blue nail colors year-round; so I had to scoop this one up when I spotted it at Target. Let me just say: best. decision. ever.

Babes, Babe Blue blows all other baby blue polishes out of the water! The periwinkle undertones give it a unique bit of extra dimension that is so pretty - especially for summer! Formula was flawless too - two easy coats and you're good to go!

NOTD: Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Fire On The Horizon

Two coats of Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Fire On The Horizon. Red Orange Cream.

I rarely go for reds and oranges, but sometimes a color just gets me, and Fire On The Horizon is proof of that. This color tho...I love it!

Fire On The Horizon is one of those blood orange shades that is perfect for all of you red mani fans looking for something fresh for the summer. This color in particular is a top fave of mine because it screams high-temps and barely-there bikinis. The formula here was brilliant - not too thick, not too thin.
