What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

July 4th, 2011 by Karen 63 Comments

I’m sporting Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Barracuda on my fingers (the color on the right) and Coral Fever on my toes (the one on the left, obvs).

They’re $7.99 each and available at drugstores, Ulta stores and also online.

How about you? What are you wearing on your nails?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Hope you’re having a great Fourth of July. Anyone care for a slice of watermelon? 🙂

    Coral Fever looks perfect for summer! I have nothing on my nails right now b/c I’ve been too busy trying to hunt down that Sinful Adventure Island collection lately. Grr…will not rest until I find a display that hasn’t been cleaned out!

      I’m also trying to find that amazing Sinful Adventure Island collection. What great prices for beautiful colours! I really need to get Seaweed since it looks like OPI Stranger Tides, which I love!

      Today, I’m wearing freehand strawberry nail art! Love how summery and fun it is! 🙂

    Still indulging in the watermelon, Karen? LOL

    I’m just hanging out, trying to keep Missy calm with all the firecrackers starting to go off in the park across the street. Poor baby is growling and hiding under the couch.

    I have ULTA’s Sangria on my fingernails. I thought from the name and how it looks in the bottle that it would be in the red family, but it turns out that it’s a bright magenta/fuschia metallic. Oh well, it’s very pretty even though it’s not the patriotic color I was going for!

    I love the formula and the brush for these lacquers. I have Red Zin (a favorite of many red lacquers I collect!). I like both. I think my skin color is pretty similar to yours (maybe NC35?) – is Barracuda a flattering mint shade?
