What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

by 93 Comments


Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 TGIF! After feeling like I caught up on sleep last night, I felt like wearing something bright on my nails today and picked Milani’s Neon Nail Lacquer in Awesome Orange ($5), one of the eight colors in their Neon Nail Lacquer collection that came out a couple months ago.

LOVE the texture… It’s so thin and easy to apply but still produces an even pigmentation. That’s me wearing three coats in the picture up there (I kinda rushed through ’em). Nice solid opacity.

How about you? What are you sporting on your fingers and/or toes?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

  2. OPI DS Coronation, its one of their new Designer series colors and its a silver shimmery shade with a dust of glitter. I love it cause the glitter in it is so fine that it just gives off a pretty sparkle without the preteen chunky glitter look! LOL

  6. Essie’s Playa del Platinum from the Resort Collection. It’s so cute and khaki/gray…it looks like melted sand.

  7. Fingers: Black Cherry Chutney underneath a light (very glittery) layer of Holiday Glow
    Tootsies: french tips…boooooring

    • You’re so lucky you can get away with french tips on your toes! I have very long toes and when I do french tips on ’em they look like monkey feet, oy!

  8. At this very moment nothing, I’m about to do a mani. i’m not sure what to put on yet. I’m thinking of wearing Chanel Lilac Sky. I wish my new Chanels or Essies had arrived today, I’m waiting on Chanel Illusion d’Or, Gold Lame & Black Velvet and Essie Turquoise & Caicos, Splash of Grenadine and Lapis of Luxury. Plus I can’t wait to order Chanel Nouvelle Vague and Riviera in the next couple of days when they are finally released here in the UK!

    As you can see I have small nail polish hoarding problem!

      • Haha! My friend made fun of me because I looked at every name under the bottle in the salon before picking a color… =P

        Just some family coming to town, which should be crazy with all the kids running around! You?

        • Names are a big thing for me. If the name isn’t right I won’t even attempt to go there. 🙂

          Tomorrow I’m going into SF for something called WordCamp (a seminar for WordPress bloggers), which should be fun. On Sunday I’ll probably just chill at home and do errands… kinda boring, but honestly, I don’t mind. I like having the downtime!

          Reply

          • Yes! I agree! And OPI definitely takes the cake for best names =)

            Ooooo, that sounds interesting! I hope you learn lots of stuff at the seminar! And I (most of the time) prefer boring weekends to catch up on some rest and relax too. So I hope you have an uber relaxing, uber fun and informative weekend!!! =D

  14. Im wearing Yellow Kitty by Sally Hansen..which I want to love, but don’t! I put it on last night and it took 4 coats, because it was so watery! I’ve used Sally before, so I was unpleasantly surprised! And it’s already icky looking today, so I will be taking it off. I am however rocking Urban Decay Apocalypse on my toes and loving it!

  15. I’m wearing orange too! Today is a national holiday in the Netherlands and orange is the Dutch symbol, so everything is orange today!

  16. Revlon Minted, how I love this colour, I’ve been wearing this a lot. I guess I need a backup since it’s limited edition. But I’m feeling a bit bored about it, so I’m planning to get some new OPI or ZOYA nail polishes =D.

    The neon orange is so stunning! Too bad I don’t have the courage to rock neon colours.

  17. I have Essie A-List (my fave red shade) on my fingers and OPI’s Lucky Lucky Lavender on my toes. I don’t match at all!

  18. OPI Jade is the New Black–I’m thinking of changing them today because they’re all chipped, but I love the color!

  20. I’m wearing MAC’s Black Enough on my fingers and Sephora for OPI’s What’s a Tire Jack? on my thumbs with shiny tips on the matte nails and matte tips on the shiny thumbs. And I’ve got Orly foil fx in Shine (the silver one) on my toes.

  22. Right now, I am wearing Sephora by OPI in Wardrobe Change but I get my Zoya exchange polishes today so I’ll be changing them soon 🙂

  23. Opi Japanese Rose Garden on my fingers, and Miami Beet on my toes. Planning on changing this weekend, but haven’t figured out to what yet. Maybe this thread will give me some ideas 🙂

  26. Happy Friday!! Made it!

    On fingers, I have “Show Me the Ring” from Essie’s latest Wedding Collection. This mani is definitely on its last legs. I think Essie Curtain Call is next up.

    On toes, it’s Suzy Says Feng Shui from OPI’s Hong Kong Collection. It’s three weeks in and has held up very well!

  27. Blue me away Sally Hansen Xtreme on toes, finger nails waiting for skittles nails!! just have to get a good yellow

  29. That orange is HOT!

    Unfortunately I’m giving my nails a break from the rainbow game. But something I’ve really been liking is my Healthy Hoof cream. That stuff is bomb! I wear slippers a lot and I hate it when your toe nails ain’t did and they look kinda ashy and dead. Putting on the cream before I head out of the door makes my toes look nice and fresh, like just got out of the shower fresh. Love it!

  31. I am wearing Milani’s neon pink (the lighter shade) on my toes. Love it! I can’t help but wear open-toed shoes EVERYWHERE!

    Reply

  33. I’m actually wearing a new one, Inglot 306 (pink coral), on one nail only, all week. I have not had time to do all the nails yet!

    Reply

  34. Currently wearing Chanel Nouvelle Bague. Managed to get myself a bottle before it became sold out everywhere 🙂 I love it!

    Reply

  35. I’m rocking Milani too! I found this amazing, super-metallic set at my local CVS! The one I’m wearing is called “I’m Online” and it’s a fabulous light copper or rosy gold! I am fully enamored! 🙂

  39. OPI Light My Sapphire, a sophisticated bluish anthracite with fine shimmer. I love such colours – almost black, so people around think i just wear black most of the time 😀 Colour-blind fools, they’re all different! 😀

  40. both essie!
    hands – splash of grenadine – LOVE
    toes – swept of my feet

    both colors have put me in a total Spring mood!!

    Reply

  42. Essie “Status Symbol” on my toes – a bright pink, and a dark bluish slate grey polish by the Scandinavian brand Depend on my fingers. It feels refreshing to wear dark colours in spring 😀

  45. Nails: OPI Chapel of love + China Glaze Preppy pink (which has glitters)
    – I feel like they compliment each other really well as i am into glitters lately.. hahaha!

    Toes: Orly Super natural

    although my favorite nail polishes are essie…. but chapel of love is really really pretty its my current fave!

  47. Hey there! New here…I’ve been reading for a few weeks now. I love your blog! I’m wearing Essie’s “Chubby Cheeks.” Feeling the coral/orange thing at the moment…

    Reply

  50. I’m just wearing For Audrey on my toes… Hehe I tend to start painting my nails really late at night so didn’t get to my fingers. (Plus it’s a strategy to do my toes first, because I don’t want to ruin my painted nails by clipping/filing toe-nails after :P)

    Reply

  52. Right now I’ve got on Nicole by OPI’s Global Beauty… a medium blueish green with shimmer (although it looks less shimmery than what the bottle would indicate). It’s my first time trying the brand, so hopefully it will last a while without chipping and/or tip wear.

    That orange looks gorgeous on you. Love warm colours, but unfortunately they don’t look very good on me!

  54. On my fingers – nothing at the moment, but I plan to polish them this weekend with an OPI polish called I Pink I Love You. Got a pedicure last week and I think it’s called Por Amour (or something like that), and it’s an OPI polish.

  55. On my nails, I’m wearing Orly Teeny Bikini. It’s more corally than I expected, but I really like it. I have OPI’s Dress to Empress on my toes.

  57. For Audrey by China Glaze on my fingers and toes! It’s a Tiffany/robin’s egg blue that feels very spring-y 🙂

    Reply

  61. China Glazes LOL for my nails. It’s a gorgeous purple holo.

    Sally Hansens Fire Opal for my toes. It’s a nice pale shade that doesn’t distract, but still makes my toes look like I put a little effort into them.

    Reply

  62. OPI’s Rumple’s Wiggin’. As far as I can see it hasn’t been released yet(at least on the OPI website) so I was happily surprised that my salon had it in.
