Yellow- Julep Blake // Orange- Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up
I was in the mood for a bright manicure, so I painted my nails with these fun yellow and orange polishes. The colors make me think of orange sherbet or mango sorbet!
Tell me: What color did you paint your nails recently?
Pink- Zoya Paloma // Glitter- Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters
I was really excited to try the jelly nail polishes when they finally arrived in my mailbox! They are very sheer so the opacity depends on how many layers that you want to do. The best part about them is that you can sandwich other nail polish colors in-between two jelly layers and it looks like a completely different polish. For this manicure, I did two coats of the pink, then two coats of the glitter (I couldn’t get enough glitter on the first coat), then one more coat of the pink. Next time I might try also try a finer glitter for the in-between layer.

I usually paint my nails every 3-4 days, but not all of these manicures make it to the blog, so I thought it would be fun to share them in a quick round-up post today. The dark purple color was a polish I tried on in Sephora and I absolutely love it. I didn’t pick it up in the store that day because I’ve already spent way too much on beauty this month, but it’s definitely been added to my wishlist!
Tell me: Is there any particular nail polish color on your wishlist right now?

Julep Emilie // Forever 21 Green (old, but this color is similar) // Seche Vite Top Coat // Sephora by OPI Quick Dry Spray (I LOVE this product!)
I’ve been meaning to try this style of ombré manicure for a while and last Sunday I gave it a go. I finally accumulated enough different shades of green for this to work (side note: you guys, I have so many polishes in the mint green family- that’s how obsessed I am with that color!) There’s no technique involved here- I just painted each nail with a different shade of green. I feel like this is perfect for spring because it reminds me of green things growing!
