Looking for inspiration on summer nail polishes.
What have been your favourite purchases for nail polish this season?
With links, if possible.
I like some of the minty colours that are around, I have Essie bon boy-age and it's gorgeous.

I went to Boots yesterday and came back with Revlon Gambling Heart, a shimmery red.

I'm intrigued by using Quick Dry Drops as well as SecheVite, I'm a long term SV user and get tip wear within 24 hours and chips after maybe 4 or 5 days.

I think tip wear depends on your activity and the nail varnish, rather than the top coat.

Some beauticians paint a quick swipe along the horizontal tip of the nail but I've never managed it, when I do it it wears off and takes half the rest with it after about a day.

Though, nail varnish does shrink as it dries, unnoticeable day one but by day three you can see it shrinking from the tips and the cuticles. Maybe drying too quickly exacerbates that?

Buster Sparkle Like a Unicorn was my entry level drug into Nails Inc polishes, I wore them most of the winter. I expected the gold sparkly one - Dream Dust - to be The One but actually it was Rainbow Wishes I ended up wearing the most. Got the most compliments/what are you wearings too.
