Perfectly Polished

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Last Wednesday I met my mother in Maryland for our girly "Wednesday before Thanksgiving" tradition of delicious manicures and pedicures, and a lovely lunch. I am such a purist when it comes to my polish colors, my toes alternate shades throughout the season (Lincoln park or A-list during the winter and I'm Indi-a mood for love or That's Berry Daring during the summer) but my nails are usually some variation of a sweet semi-sheer pink-I am so boring!

Here in DC in the nail salons it has always been a pretty standard mix of OPI & Essie, further north (my corporate office used to be based out of NYC) the girls never wore anything but Essie. For all the sweet southern belles out there what do you see the most of??

These are my favorites but I am always looking for more inspirations...

OPI Sweet Heart-I will usually just ask for one coat it looks a little thick on me if I get two

Essie Sugar Daddy-Its more sheer than it looks and I like it in the winter vs my standard mademoiselle if I don't have any tan whatsoever

Essie Ballet Slippers-as pretty as its name, I prefer one coat with this and a second with sugar daddy or mademoiselle
Essie Mademoiselle-The shade, its perfect year round, but I prefer in the spring and summer with a little color on my skin

OPI Bubble Bath-I wore this one on my wedding day, its great for a mani or pedi since it is not too sheer for your toes. My Bestie and I both consider this our year round "go-t0"

Essie Limo-scene-It is a little thicker, but it also works perfectly as a 1st coat with sugar daddy for a sheer pretty pink, year round!

I am dying to know what your faves are and if there are any others I need to run out and find:)
