I have an obsession with nails...like most of us girlie girls!
What is it about a great manicure and pedicure that suddenly makes us feel beautiful, put together and super chic! It's an instant mood lift 💅🏻
Be sure to check out some of my favorite nail spots for the perfect manicure or pedicure at the end of this blog! I’m also a huge fan of DIY nails, especially with Aprés Nails—though I’ll admit, it requires some patience (and a few trial-and-error moments along the way). Right now, I’m taking a break from long extensions and keeping things simple with a natural, short shape.
My fall color go-to? The classic OPI Lincoln Park After Dark—a moody, deep purple shade that is the perfect fall nail color and GELCARE - Cabarnet 2.0 which is a deep sexy red. Soon I will be switching back to my usual nude nail with chrome or GELCARE - Ibiza Sunset.
I'll keep updating this list as I discover more nail polishes I fall in love with ♡
NUDES + NEUTRALS
- OPI - Put It In Neutral
- OPI - Bubble Bath
- GELCARE - Bare BB Cream
- GELCARE - Nude BB Cream
- GELCARE - Cashew Milk

- Apres Nail - Forgotten Film
- OPI - Funny Bunny

Add Daily Charm Chrome - My fav is Unicorn Chrome as it gives a irredescent mermaid vibe - Add it over any of these Neutrals for a gorgeous tropical look that looks amazing with a fresh (faux) tan.
Quick Tip - Take your Chrome with you when you get your pedicures as most salons won't have your exact color chrome xx
