This post came to mind when Jamie Chew blogger of Miss Chew launched her #30DaysOfBeautyApril (a beauty themed photo a day Instagram/Twitter challenge).
Day 7 - Nail Polish Collection.
As I have a soft spot for nail polish in a completely normal 'love and with an inanimate object' kinda way, I have therefore accrued an unnecessary amount a self proclaimed amazing collection.
I go through stages with all the shades but simply Plums & Deep Reds are always my got to Autumn/Winter look, while Corals & Oranges shades are on high rotation in Spring/Summer. That said all year round I'm a sucker for my Pinks and Nudes!

I think you need Essie Haute as Hello, and Essie turquoise & caicos in your life! They're my fav summery colours at the moment.
