My #10 Favorite Polish for Summer 2016...

I'll Pink To That!

I always have to include a neon pink in my favorites each summer because it's such a fun vacation/poolside color. I don't wear neon polishes very often, but I feel like I can pull off pink. I love the look of neons at dusk! This is new from the China Glaze Lite Brites collection released this summer. The formula is fantastic and it's opaque in two coats. The swatch below is two coats, no top coat. 

I have been addicted to dotticures this season. When I saw @emmadoesnails do this design, I knew I had to try it. It has such a fun aztec look and it's bright and cheery for summer. I would love to take this look to the beach. How about you?! Too bad I don't live in Florida anymore (sigh).

My #6 Favorite Polish for Summer 2016...

Suzi Nails New Orleans!

This polish is new from the OPI New Orleans collection that was released this spring and summer. It's a creamy Barbie pink polish. There are several pink polishes like this out there, but this one is a favorite out of the few Barbie pinks I have in my collection. The formula is quite great and it's opaque in two easy coats! Swatch below is two coats and a top coat. A perfect summer color for sure!

Here it is compared to Kiss Me I'm Brazillian, which is slightly more warm toned (kind of hard to tell that in this picture though), and has a slightly darker tone. Look At My Bow is even more cool toned and maybe has a pinch of purple. I love the balance of warm and cool tones that SNNO has.

I have been obsessed with pineapples lately! I have a pineapple shirt that has these cute black and white pineapples on it and I knew I had to make a mani to match. I love how this design looks with pink, but this pattern would be cute with any accent color!

Here are the supplies I used to create this look (with links):

CND Stickey Base Coat

OPI Suzi Nails New Orleans

OPI Alpine Snow

Americana Black Acrylic Craft Paint

Winstonia Berry Wine Brush

HK Girl Top Coat
