Instagramed Manicures

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.

I can take or leave the Kardashians. I fully admit to watching some of their shows. And defending their savvy business sensibilities, but I think they are a bit over-saturated at this point. Irregardless, I love the new nail polish collection that just happens to feature their name. This is a set of seven new colors in addition to the colors launched last year. The formula is fantastically creamy, with complete coverage in two coats. And I find it lasts a full week.

Most of the colors are very bold, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. I really think they all are wearable but my favorites are “Our Fuchsia’s Looking Bright” (below), “Ladies in the Limelight” (great on tanned toes) and “Paparazzi Don’t Preach” (a creamy, opaque nude). So put aside your misgivings and take advantage of these vibrant spring colors!
