Chip's Spring and Summer nail polish favorites

Hey, this is Chip here :)I'd like to share some of my recent favorite nail polishes for this Spring and Summer.  Spring and Summer are seasons that allow us to play with some bright and fun colors ; instead of just applying neutral and safe colors such as brown, grey or earth tone colors, give it a try by accenting it with just a hint of orange or bright coral/pink color, you might be surprise by the outcome. ;)

Well, although I have a lot of Laka nail polishes , I have to be honest that they are too pricey for a full time student like me. The good thing is its really opaque, you can get the color in the bottle on your nails by applying one coat only. The brush is short and flat which makes it easier to control when applying. Its not a common brand here, I can't really find them in San Francisco, I purchased them in Hong Kong.

You can just get any bright orange and greyish color from cheaper brands such as OPI , Revlon, Sally Hansan or others.

Sometimes I feel like it might be too much to apply bright colors on all my nails, I might want to tune it down sometimes when I am not in a bright color mood. But its SUMMER! I want to play with some fun colors. So what I do is applying neutral colors such as brown or grey on four fingers and apply bright orange or bright coral pink on my ring finger or index finger only.

I got compliments wearing it like that , try it out, you might like it (okay, maybe not, maybe its just me? haha).Anyway, its just an alternative, you can always apply it in the way you want.

Sally Hansen Xtreme wear- Mint Sorbet , Laka 104

I love wearing minty green during spring and summer, I always wanted a real mint green but I get disappointed for not being able to find the right shade.They are either a bit too blue for a mint green or it looked too sheer that requires four to five coats to get the right shade. I am happy to found Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet in Target, its cheap, the color looks exactly the way I wanted it. Too bad I am not sponsored, looks like it'll make a good ad ( just kidding) Anyway, I love it after trying it on my nails.

Laka 104 is one of my all time favorite spring/summer colors for my toes. Its a bright, turquoise color that looks absolutely stunning on your toes (Sheep agrees as well, she has one too lol). 

Since Sheep and I just started the blog today, the reviews and blogs might be a bit simple and short but stay tune for more in depth and detailed reviews (maybe some swatches as well) in the future.


Cheers,
