These polishes belong to the four-polish Essie Resort 2010 Collection. I’ve already posted the other two polishes. Interestingly, three of the four colors are now sold in retail packaging and only one is available only in the older, salon version. Do you know which one?

These polishes are part of the Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen collection, and are inspired by Tracy Reese’s runway shows. I picked mine up at a random WalGreen’s I don’t usually visit because they sold out so quickly at the WalGreen’s close to me-especially the bright coral, Coral Fever.

Here’s the final two polishes from Essie’s Spring 2011 Collection, French Affair. For months I kept telling myself I didn’t need pastel purple or pastel pink, but then I ended up staring at these last two from the collection in a WalGreen’s and something snapped. I had to try them out!
I wore Essie’s Smooth Sailing at the end of last week, and I enjoyed this color so much that I wanted to re-post it! I already posted it as part of the Essie 2011 Summer Collection review. Smooth Sailing is available even in the retail locations like WalGreen’s, where I picked mine up. It’s a beautiful, soft blue with heavy shimmer pieces.
Chanel’s Fall 2011 nail lacquers are already available on Chanel.com. The collection is a moody trio of heavy metallic polishes, each with its own finish. I’ve grouped all of my pictures of the collection into one post so it’s a long one!
Nouvelle Vague is an older polish, from Chanel’s Resort 2010 Collection – at the time, Chanel’s Jade was still on everyone’s mind, so it was called the “New Jade” by some people. It was mostly wishful thinking since they’re not really anything alike, but I like Nouvelle Vague all on its own, and decided to revisit it last weekend.

China Glaze’s Island Escape Collection has been out for a while now. It’s a set of vibrant, sparkly colors but they weren’t really calling to me–except for the funny, yellowy green, Cha Cha Cha.

Here’s an older Essie that I picked up during one of my stops at J. Crew to check on their small polish section. It fits right in with this summer’s focus on bright orange polishes.
These two polishes from OPI’s Glam Slam collection have been out for a bit now, but they’re so pretty that they definitely deserve a look if you haven’t checked them out yet. Swatches coming up!
Continue reading OPI Glam Slam Duo – Rally Pink Pink & Red Shatter
Splash of Grenadine is another polish from Essie’s 2010 Resort Collection that made its way onto the retail side and is now available at WalGreens, etc. It’s another vibrant but delicate color that is perfect for summer!
Continuing with my recent love of Essie, I suddenly decided that I needed Lapis of Luxury, which is from Essie’s 2010 Resort Collection. Since I prefer the retail Essie packaging if a color is sold on the retail side, I went to many WalGreens before finally bringing it home.

I’m not normally a fan of MAC polishes-I’ve only bought them once before and was way underwhelmed by the formula AND the price point. But since finding the perfect nude nail polish shade is still a personal quest, I felt like I had to try Hangin’ Loose from the new Surf, Baby! Collection.
The Fingerpaints Summer Collection has been out for a few weeks now, and I’ve ended up with three out of the six-I initially narrowed my choices down to two polishes, but I had to go back for one more after seeing other swatches!
