mani monday: essie

Summer nail polish comes in two kinds: bright and fun. Good thing Essie's summer collection is both.

The group of six polishes has the right blend of chic (the taupe Fierce, No Fear and blush-ivory Urban Jungle), fun (green Ruffles & Feather and blue Strut Your Stuff), and tropical vibes (those come in an orage, Roarrange, and a saturated medium pink, Haute in the Heat), so whatever you're feeling you'll be sure to find a color.

Perhaps the best part is that the colors look awesome all together--yes, I tested it on my fingernails and it feels like my hands are living it up in South Beach while my body is in rainy New York.
