Just A Dash of Color…

I have always loved wearing bright colors. I remember when I was a youngen (before the Catholic uniform days stifled my creative clothing outlet) I had this AMAZING hot pink and flourescent orange LA Gear outfit: biker shorts and a half shirt just slouched off the one shoulder. With a side ponytail. And the matching light-up sneakers. You couldn’t tell me a thing! I was fly.

These days, I can’t exactly get away with the biker shorts and I don’t think my office would appreciate my half shirt. But I’ve found other ways to sneak wildy bright colors and trends into my wardrobe. Today’s focus: nails!

I know this sounds bad, but the best part about this trend is that my daughter can get in on it. She tends to steal my nail polish anyway, and I’d rather see my 3 year old in a bright blue or neon yellow than a sexy red. Yes, I’m raising a diva.

Counter-clockwise from left:
Caribbean Cocktail, Sephora. $5 – Limited edition, love that it stays and is relatively cheap.
Orange, Forever 21. $2.80 – LOVE this color but it chips too easily. Worth it for a one nighter.
Totally 80′s, Milani. $4.99 – I swear by Milani. If I can’t find the color anywear else, I know I’ll find it with this brand.
Pulsion, Chanel. $25 – I’m a sucker for a Chanel nail polish. It’s always so rich and thanks to the no-spill bottle, you never lose a drop.
Big Bang, KIT. $15.95 – Quick drying and POPPIN colors. What more can you ask for?
Aquarius, Urban Decay – Part of the Summer of Love Collection. If you’re a makeup junkie, you already know what Urban Decay is hitting for. Get it. Fast.
