Spectacular Summer Nails

These Little Piggies Run Fabulously All the Way Home

By: Nicole Hale

You know that feeling; you slip on your favorite sandals, ready to walk out into the summer sunshine when all of the sudden you make a realization. You may be ready to soak up the sun but your toes are not! Oh yeah, that scary sight that we have all seen and dread.

This summer, don't be one of those girls frolicking along in their summer dress displaying their barely painted, chipping toenails in all their glory. Instead, take a few of these summer tips and enjoy the sun without having others subject themselves to your unsightly feet.

Lovely Looking Feet

There is much more to having good looking summer feet than just a coat of pretty polish. Your feet need to be in good shape as well. Think of it like a car. Even if it's freshly painted, a banged up car doesn't look very good, does it? The same goes for your feet. Make sure those calluses are gone, toenails are properly filed and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

Pick the Right Color

Summer represents sun, flowers and happiness. As should your nails! This summer it's all about the fresh floral palettes as spunky colors like hot pink and canary yellow take a hold. Here are a few ideas:

Milani Lacquer Hot Pink ($3.99)

Essie Hot Pop($7.50)

OPI- That's Hot! Pink($5.99)

Apply Correctly

Begin with priming. Priming is simply taking a cotton swab soaked in nail polish remover and gently wiping over every nail. This takes off all the oils on the nail bed creating a perfectly smooth and clean area to paint. When applying nail polish, always remember that 1 coat is never enough. Especially when it comes to these vibrant shades, 2 or 3 coats is more like it. Start from the center and work outward when applying. Never start at the tip of the nails, but rather from the back, working up toward the foot. After all coats are dry, finish with a clear and shiny top coat. This will prevent the polish from chipping and give your little piggies that freshly painted appearance for much longer.
