I’ve never really been a huge nail polish gal. I have always been quite frankly TERRIBLE at painting my own nails and the chipping drives me crazy! Ain’t nobody got time for that, so my nails have almost always been bare. In the past 2 years however this has changed, and now I paint my nails almost every Sunday night! I am certain it’s because I’ve finally found a nail polish that works, and I actually only own 3 basic colors. I have never blogged about it before because I thought the habit would fade, but two years in I’m still painting them every Sunday (and getting better at it too haha)! I still only want these 3 colors!
All 3 are the Essie Gel Couture line and I swear I’ll never buy another brand again. The formula is amazing- easy to apply because of the brush, it dries quickly. The top coat is where the magic happens and it lasts at least a week before chipping! I own this nail polish in 3 colors and honestly don’t feel the need to buy any more!
ESSIE GEL COUTURE
BLUSH PINK | Matter of Fiction, Topcoat
This is my most worn! It is the perfect opaque blush color (I do 2-3 coats) and lasts the longest of any of the colors I own. I wear this one year round!
RED | Rock the Runway, Bundled w/ Topcoat
This is quite literally the PERFECT red. I love it because it plays bold and colorful during the summer months, but is also perfect for the holiday season. Once we hit mid-November this is on my nails 24/7 until the new year! 1-2 coats and you’ve got yourself a classic manicure.
BURGUNDY | Spiked with Style, Topcoat
When fall rolls around I like a bit deeper shade, but not too dark. This is the perfect balance between red/purple/brown – I’m not quite sure how to describe it but I love it! I do 2 coats of this one.
