Essie has a new line of nail polish perfect for summer and these blue and purple nail designs and colors are inspired by the little island of Antigua, and certainly possess the characteristics of sun, sand, and maybe a palm tree or two.
Loot the Booty is a beautiful blue from ESSIE that just screamed nautical nails! It also has a fair amount of shimmer to it and looked great beside the Coconut Cove White.
Viva Antigua is a turquoise blue with gold flecks infused in it to give off some shimmer. This color is so perfect for summer nail designs and as soon as I saw it I knew it wanted to try it for a palm tree design. I kept it simple so you can get a good view of this amazing polish. Check out this PALM TREE PEDICURE.
Next, I used Buried Treasures, which is a coral color. This is one of those staple colors for summer and it applied nicely in two quick coats. If you don’t already have something near this shade, this is a great one to grab up for those summertime toe nail designs.
Mini nail polish bottles from ESSIE are perfect if you’re not ready to commit to a big one. I mean, what if you’re a little skeptical of the color? Or just don’t paint your nails very often? Mini polishes are perfect for cases like these, and the quality is never less than what you receive in the normal size.
