Tangerine Crush

Hey all! Some of my best recommendations for nail colors come from my family members. This week my mom recommended L'Oreal's "Tangerine Crush" explaining that my older sister had recommended it to her, and that my mom had further passed it on to my sister Kara.

Let's say it looks great on all of us and I'm loving it too! Only one more sister to indoctrinate! Hahaha.



This is the kind of bright color that yells summer to me. It's a light, orangey coral with a hint of pink. In low lights the orange really comes out, in direct sunlight it appears a true coral. I've got on three coats, but 2 worked well too. The formula is smooth and applies well. I even really liked the angled brush that comes with!

All in all, an excellent addition to my collection. Check out a Vine I made with this polish:

E.L.F. Polish- my favorite purple!

So I realize it has been a while. Final exams, beginning my summer work schedule, and frankly just getting some down time to myself has meant little time to post photos of recent manicures!

You guys, this is my favorite purple polish. EVER. E.L.F. hasn't named this color, but it did appear in the 2011 holiday collection.



Awesome in any light, this is a dark purple with a TON of sparkle and shine. It reminded me of car paint after my first application a few years ago (2 coats pictured), but it grew on me and now it's one of my favorites for any season. I think it's a super fun color and can't help but wear it over and over.

When in doubt, wear the purple I say.

What is your favorite bright this year?
