I never used to be a nail polish girl. But then I started painting my nails a couple of summers ago and feel naked without some color!!!
Sporty Sister and I have a ton of nail polishes between the two of us. I always try to “branch out” and experiment with different colors or styles of nail polish. But, without fail, I end up using the same colors over and over again!!! (I love the way pastel colors look on nails… but I hate how “goopy” the texture of the liquid is! Pastel colors always take forever to dry, I end up smudging it after thirty minutes, AND I think the colors peel off too soon.)
Pinks and reds tend to be my go-to! Girly and practical. (If you can call nail polish practical…)
I’m not too big of a brand nail polish person. As in, I use all kinds of brands. I generally end up using OPI, Essie, or Julep though since they’re the most available and I know I’ll like the quality.
My favorites right now are:
Essie Plaza Sweet
What are your “can’t live without” nail colors?

PS How often do you paint your nails?
I absolutely cannot live without Essie's Turquoise & Caicos. It is my favorite nail color ever made! All of Essie's colors are great and it is definitely my favorite brand of nail polish. Great post!

These shades of nail polish are absolutely gorgeous! The Essie colors are definitely my favorite – they are so bright and beautiful!

I paint my nails about once a week. My favorite right now are Zoya's "Myrta" (orangey-red) and "Kimbler" (a sparkley fuchsia).
Great post!

I love Zoya Nail Polish.
I currently have "Reagan" on my toes.
I am an Essie fanatic!!! I am not very adventurous with my colors, though, and would really like to get some fun colors besides pink and red! Ideas?

oh, and my favorite orange (it's perfect!!!) is called Fear Or Desire! (Essie)
I don't paint my nails that often because I am clumsy and it chips so quickly, but I have been loving China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint lately! Such a wonderful summer color 🙂
I've been really into painting my nails lately! One of my favorite basics is Tea and Crumpets, which is a great neutral brown, and the name of my blog! Perfection!
I don't have specific "Can't live without" nail colors, but what I truly love is nail art. This month I did American flags for Independence day and French flags for Bastille day!
By the way, you're fabulous blog inspired me to make one of my own!

My nails are almost always painted and during the school year, I paint them every 3 days to release stress. My go-to brand is Zoya- I hate it that I'm a "brand person" but I just love Zoya too much 🙂 I like Zoya Maya or Zoya Wednesday! Or any colour from Zoya (Riley, Rihana, etc. etc.)
We seriously must be having the same brain waves post-wise between this and Moonrise Kingdom, but I'm absolutely LOVING dark colors for the fall. I just did a post about it, I would love it if you checked it out! I prefer darker polishes, but I have to say I'm loving those Juleps!!!

I've been wearing OPI's Cajun Shrimp on my toes for years and years and like Essie's Ballet Slippers on my fingernails.
This summer I tried to step out of my box and bought Essie's Geranium and A Splash of Grenadine (on my toes now). I like it!
I actually don't paint my nails…yet. I really like the idea of colour on my nails, but I feel like no one polish will match with everything I wear for the duration of the time it stays. That has always stopped me from wearing it, and the time factor of having to do/redo it. Maybe I'll have to give it another try.
In love with lavender!!
