I’ve been complaining about the fact that I am in no way ‘summer ready’. Not in an awful beach body kind of way, but in a ‘shit I only own black turtle-neck jumpers’ kind of way. I’m a sweaty mess.
So, I’ve been trying to summer myself up a little.
It’s been tough. I’m not going to lie to you. It has been a hard week. I had to do things like paint my nails a colour that wasn’t a nudey-pink, and I now own something that isn’t striped and that I actually genuinely like. You’ve probably seen me splash it all over instagram.
A while ago I told you about how I’ve really got into Essie nail polishes lately. In fact, I now will no longer look for nail colours from anyone else. I’ve been converted. I’m born again.
The two that I’ve been rocking lately, fingers and toes, are Tart Deco (left) and Peach Daiquiri (right).
My fave is probably Tart Deco. It’s a gorgeous bright coral-orange. Definitely far more on the orange side than the pink side, and it is fabulous. Orange has always suited me, and all of my go-to lipstick shades are orange-based (or actually bright orange). I’ve been wearing this on my finger nails for weeks and weeks. It does not budge. Not an inch.
On my toes, I’ve been rocking Peach Daiquiri. It’s a fabulously zesty pink, with orange tones rather than blue. Blue toned pinks wash me out a little so this bright polish is the best ever. It looks so pretty peeping out of my sandals, or just going about my bare-foot business at home. It lasts beautifully, and means that I very rarely have to top up my toes. Who can be bothered to remember to think about their toe nails? Not me.
What colours have you been wearing this summer?
Have you tried these polishes?
Love these colours! Can imagine them going very well together for sure, and so summery!

Those colours are so nice! Nail polish is usually my favourite way to pretend to be summer-ready, haha 😉 It’s easier to paint nails for some reason. All that said, I haven’t really tried any super-summery colours this year, I’ve been sticking to blues. Maybe I’ll pick up Peach Daiquiri next, though, it’s really pretty!

When it comes to buying Essie nail polish, I always buy blue tones for some reason, but I love both of these! They’re definitely perfect for the summer.
