The Classics: Favorite

Hello ladies!

Today I have the last blog post in the series of blog post concerning classic nail polish colours that every woman should own!

Everybody needs as least one favorite nail polish, that is not a traditional colour (such as red, pink or nude). It could be a colour that makes you happy or just your favorite colour with your favorite finish (metallic, sparkle, frost etc).
A woman's nail polish stash should consist of the basic colours (the classics) in a few different shades and then a lot of fun and beautiful favorites!

I chose my four favorite nail polishes to show you guys today.

L-R: Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, Essie Hide & Go Chic, Essie Ruffles & Feathers and Essie Too Taboo

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula) is a bright cobalt blue.
Essie Hide & Go Chic is a deep azure blue.
Essie Ruffles & Feathers is a teal green.
Essie Too Taboo is a bright fuschia - the perfect berry shade!

This concludes the series of blog post concerning classic nail polish colours that every woman should own.
Now I have talked a lot about which colours are necessities in every woman's nail polish collection, but remember you can vary within these colours with their finishes and shades (dark or light). Also remember the seasonal colours: you should wear darker colours in the fall and winter, pastels in the spring and more vibrant, bright and maybe neon colour in the summer.

What are you girls favorite polishes? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!
