Here is a little recap of some of my recent manicures, as seen on Instagram. Follow me @bellebellebeauty.

1. Avon Carnival Collection – I liked these so much, I had to put one color on each finger! I was channelling my 80’s pre-teen years and I liked it.
2. Essie Brooch the Subject – For a change of pace, an opaque nude that was just the perfect color.
3. Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor Strike a Pose – I may not be crazy about the Kardashians, but admit I loved this bold coral/red.
4. NARS Space Odyssey – For a metallic, this was perfect. It required three coats but had that perfect foil look.
5. Deborah Lippmann Mermaid’s Dream Nail Lacquer – Rumored to be largely sold out, Mermaid Dream is already a cult favorite. I did see some on shelves at Neiman Marcus recently.
