Hi I’m Dee, and I used to have boring nails. My two favorite nail colors, all year round, used to be Mademoiselle or Fiji from Essie. While I still love the colors, they are very basic, and there’s nothing exciting about them. Since those days, I’ve gotten daring with my nails, adding design, and bright bold colors to my every day use.

So today I’ll be sharing my two favorite colors for the summer. I am currently wearing one color in my hands and the other in my toes. I couldn’t pick one to choose, so I did both. Why not, right?

(Ignore my terrible manicure)

• Wet n’ Wild Mega Last – I Need A Refresh Mint: I’m on my third bottle. I use it all year long. It’s my go to color. I paid $1.99 USD at Rite Aid. My favorite feature about this nail polish line, it’s the flat application brush. All nail polishes should have flat brushes. It makes the process easy and the color goes on even. So even, that at times all you need is one coat. I love it so much, I’ve previously featured this brand and nail polish, take a look.
• RickyColor Nails – Night At The Stalkhouse: This is a new favorite from the Ricky’s NYC nail color line. I saw it and stopped in my tracks. It came home with me that night, and I find myself constantly over using it. Regular price is $6.50 USD. But when I bought it, I paid 3 for $10 USD. Currently they are having a 2 for $10 USD sale.
