1. Day At The Beach | Island In The Sun Gel Lab Pro, Deborah Lippmann - For a beach day I go for vivid colors. I noticed this past summer I stuck with a lot of coral hues. I love how they stand out when I have a great tan. This bright color packs in a ton of vitamins (biotin, keratin, Aucoumea, rice protein, evening primrose, and green tea extract), which help to strengthen my nails while I'm wearing it.
2. | Blues and Greens, OPI - For a date night which usually involves going out to dinner, a show, or a concert--I prefer adventurous, fun colors. I've been a fan of OPI polishes for years now. These lacquers last a long time and they're chip-resistant.
7. Job Interview | Volume III, NCLA - When I used to go on job interviews, I needed more of a conservative color. I didn't want the person who was interviewing me to be distracted by a freshly painted manicure; I wanted them to be focusing on what I was saying. This Peach Nude Shimmer is the ideal understated polish, and it's made in California. It's also vegan and cruelty-free.
Fade To Black Gel Lab Pro, Deborah Lippmann - I prefer dark stains in the fall, and for Halloween my go-to is Fade To Black. I like to go for a gothic look but in the past I've had so many black nail polishes that chip after a day or two. Deborah Lippmann's is the longest lasting one I've tried. It offers the same gloss of a gel manicure and it's formulated with a ton of vitamins like primrose, biotin, keratin, green tea extract, and others. It also contains silk fibers which are produced by silkworms and they help to even out the polish by giving it a sleek finish.
Pretty in Putty Putting on the Ritz, Ciate - For Valentines Day, I love to put on a pink shade and I'm in love with these Ciate colors. I'll begin by applying Pretty and Putty, and then I'll add a coat of Putting on the Ritz for an instant sparkle. Like all Ciate polishes, they're paraben-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly.
Purple Rain Iconic Nail Color, Nars - When I apply this Purple Rain polish, I can hear one of my favorite Prince songs. To me this varnish screams "celebrate" making it the appropriate lacquer to ring in the New Year. It's extended-wear enamel gives a high-gloss finish that will last well into January.
