I did a post a few weeks back for Glitter Guide on the ultimate nail polish guide that I wanted to share with you all (aka read something I’ve already written). I dunno if it’s just me but for the longest time I was always so indecisive about staple nail colors (think reds, pinks and nudes). It couldn’t be just any red it had to this kind of red. You know what I mean? And glitter and metallic nail finishes are easy go-to nail trends that should be in every girl’s polish wardrobe. Enjoy!
If you were never a pastel polish kind of girl, Butter London’s new summer 2013 collection has the perfect alternative with its new trio of kaleidoscopic brights to incorporate in to your summer nail wardrobe. The new Bespoke Pop Art Trio includes a tropical pink shade (Primrose Hill Picnic), a buttercup yellow (Cheeky Chops) and a bright blue cream (Keks). I personally can’t wait to get my hands on Cheeky Chops, mainly because I don’t really have that many shades of yellow in my nail polish collection (as if I need anymore polishes though).
The collection also includes new creamy Lippy Lipstick shades in Come to Bed Red, Alcopop (a bright pink) and Queen Vic (a gorgeous deep fuchsia).

After a weekend of dining, shopping and gambling (and more shopping after that), instead of being productive and planning out my blog posts for the week, I opted for the lazy route and did what any beauty blogger would do on their day off. I gave myself a DIY mani using Pure Ice nail polish.
Lately I’ve been opting for pastel hues or bright neon shades, so when I received samples of the summer nail collection, I instantly removed my previous chipped polish and opted for “Fairy Godmother,” a pretty orchid cream purple. These drugstore polishes are free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP and are less than $2 a pop (how’s that for nail junkies on a budget?). The summer collection boasts fun, bright candy color hues in creamy and glitter finishes. Consider it the drugstore doppelgänger to the luxe Deborah Lippmann line. Happy Mani Monday!

Pure Ice gifted me with nail polish but all opinions in this post are my own.
I scream… you scream… we’re all screaming for Deborah Lippmann Staccato nail polish collection for spring! Mixing pretty pastel hues with speckled black glitter, I’m obsessed with the spring trio, “I’m Not Edible,” “Polka Dots and Moonbeams,” and “Rockin’ Robin.” This nail polish collection has me reminiscing about sundresses, lazy summer pool days and… you guessed it, my favorite guilty pleasure, ice cream. (Just for the record, I’m a devout cookies n’ cream kind of girl.)
Where you work in a creative or conservative office environment, these hues are subtle and sweet. Which one is your favorite?

I’m always on the hunt for off-the-radar nail brands and not long ago, I was gifted with a bottle of Floss Gloss polish in “Party Bruise,” a pretty dark plum shade. Compared to the other mainstream brands, I love the size of the brush, making it easy to apply one or two coats (and trust me, I do not have an artist’s hand) for just the right amount of color. I’m infatuated with the gold cap and vintage inspired glass bottom, not to mention the discovery that all Floss Gloss lacquers are DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free. Floss Gloss has a cool range of pastels, neons, neutrals, and glitter, so on that note, time to shop!
