Shades of gray and taupe (such as cult classic You Don’t Know Jacques from OPI) dominated fashionable digits this season but spring is around the corner and I am ready for a brighter shade. I have never worn anything bright on my nails before (other than a brief love affair with Chanel Rouge in college) but I’m ready for color! I saw a shade from Essie called Big Spender in Allure this month and am now obsessed with it. It’s the perfect violet-magenta without being too bright or bubble gum-ish. Now if I can just convince my spa to carry it… $7 at Bel Air beauty. I am also loving a plummy shade from OPI called “Metro Chic” — a smoky purple. Tell me, what colors will you be sporting this summer?
I love this color!
Will also be sporting a shimmery white
I love this shade as well. I am always an Essie Ballet Slipper or Madamoiselle person. And, I can never rely on my manicurist to have a shade I like available, so I always buy my own and bring it with me.
I saw Big Spender in person last night at Ulta! It caught my eye immediately and it’s so super cute. I also have Metro Chic on my toes as we speak
I’m waiting for that perfect shimmery white (I’ve seen one by Lippman I like) that was all over the Chanel runways earlier this month.
