If you could only wear one nail varnish this summer what would it be?

Looking for inspiration. I want to buy decent varnish but not have loads of bottles hanging around with only a bit used then left to go manky!

I really like the mint green MUA one I got in Superdrug. Was only a £1 as well.

CocktailQueen · 21/04/2013 20:49

A nude shade. Apparently vv this season. And you don't have to have perfect nails or put it on perfectly either

dexter73 · 21/04/2013 20:49

I like orange for the summer.

Mint green Fiver - Butter London

Dior glow. Nails look natural but really healthy.

Essie Lacquered Up. A vvv bright and shiny jelly red which lasts , no tip wear or chips for a week and is v easy to apply. Boots have it.

leighton denny supermodel, it's a great colour and stays on for days

Essie Bangle Jangle

Fairylea · 21/04/2013 22:04

Essie not just a pretty face :)

Perfectly nude and very shiny and lasts ages !

YoniOno · 21/04/2013 22:13

Essie Hip-anema because I love it, new season shade - the perfect bright summer shade and goes with winter woollies too

bluebump · 21/04/2013 22:14

I get the most compliments wearing the Barry M Blue Moon one which is a light minty/duck egg blue and looks good in the summer. Otherwise I like one of the orangey red sort of colours.

Elfontheedge, if you keep your nail polish in the fridge, they last for years.

polyhymnia · 21/04/2013 23:27

An Essie Nude shade for sure.

I'm very fond of YSL Beige Leger at the moment.

NellVarnish · 21/04/2013 23:51

China Glaze For Audrey (a Tiffany blue) is my go to nail varnish but I've recently been swayed by Barry M's Gelly's

Supershiny and last for ages - and bargainous at 3.99 - greenberry and papaya are my favourites so far.

3 for 2 in Superdrug at the mo, would've been rude not to buy them. Grin

HoneyStAngelo · 22/04/2013 00:16

Dior Charnelle

Perfect summer colour

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/04/2013 08:00

Leighton Denny in orange, it needs 3 coats but looks the business.

I got it free off harpers and queen last year.

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/04/2013 08:04

It's called do me a flavour.

HandsofaCrone · 22/04/2013 08:42

Oh lots of these colours are tempting me now! I wish nudes didn't give me zombie hands.

Ujjayi · 22/04/2013 08:48

Essie Madison Ave Hue (i think...some pun on the famous NY street Wink ). It's a mid-pink but vibrant. Perfect with or without a tan.

Also L'Oreal Tangerine.

HandsofaCrone · 22/04/2013 09:08

oh oh I need Madison Ave Hue now Ujjayi - thanks! I've been looking for a mid pink that's not sickly looking but not neon either.
