lovely july. the longest, hottest days. with the excitement of warmer weather worn off, i found myself trying out all of those neons that i had to have, only to gravitate to more neutral colors. here are some of my favorites of the month. "melt your popsicle" olry over a white base coat, this famous (or infamous) orange neon is very striking. i did tire of wrestling with all of the coats to make it even. "leo" ncla this nude with a hint of periwinkle was just the savior i needed after all of the brights of june. a good formula, and a sweet look. what more do you want? (green dot is "pretty edgy" by essie.) "blue la la" sinful colors i finally found this sought-after creme nail polish whilst on a short business trip. the formula is great and i do like the color, but is it the most unique thing? nah. but a terrific polish, nonetheless. "it's in the cloud" opi i was led to believe, by many reviewers, that this polish from 2016 was nothing special. i picked it up at tj maxx and have found that the haters were all wrong. while not a great formula, (pretty typical for a white-ish opi shade), it's barely-there touch of grey makes a huge difference. the color loses the starkness of the pure white look, and takes on a classy glow. opaque in 2 coats, this is my new "go-to." "summer fling" orly lots of love for the 2017 summer "coastal crush" collection from orly. this coral was my unexpected favorite of the collection. a crelly that is opaque in 2-3 coats, the formula glides on, and the result is coral meets creamsicle. lovely. "rapid growth serum" by w7
this should have been in my april favorites: a growth serum undercoat that has really changed my game. i am seeing growth for the very first time on my nails; and a strength that has survived the crazy and sometimes intense physical-aspects of my job. i found this at tj maxx, and i panicked when i returned to pick up a back-up bottle: none to be found. while on vacation, i spotted several in an out-of-state tj maxx, and picked up 3 more to have on hand. for $2.99, it is my miracle. (in this photo, you can see julie g nail polish's "9 to 5" on my nails.) what were your favorites from july? i'd love to know! enjoy your august!
