Teen Corner: Nail Polish ALERT!

dinner with valentes

If you follow my mom on Twitter, you might have seen this picture she sent last night of Bailey and me texting while we were out for sushi dinner.

Funny thing is, my mom got several emails asking what color nail polish Bailey and I are wearing.

So, here’s the scoop: Bailey is wearing Essie Wicked and I’m wearing CHANEL Dragon.

You heard it straight from Teen Corner, hahaahaa!!

A staple here at Makeup Bag HQ (as you can see from the near-empty bottle), Solar Speed Spray from CND is used after every manicure in our house. With all the nail painting we do, I’d say a minimum of six manis take place each week.

Benefit One Hot Minute, the HOTTEST product of the summer! Brush this on for aah-maaaazing skin in one hot minute. Not even kidding.

Nail Flavor of the Week: Essie Perky Purple

essie-perky-purple

This weekend I chose Essie Perky Purple, from the Essie Neon Collection, for my manicure.

I should have painted three coats instead of two, as it looks kind of sheer in these photos, but I was anxious to get a top coat on to bring back the shine. This color (like most neons) has a dull finish without a top coat.

Even though I’ve only been to the grocery store since painting my nails, I’ve already received two compliments on this bright, fun purple shade.

Also, check out my latest Kauai find:

This is a real sea shell that’s been drilled into a ring. I got it at a local surf shop for $9.99. It’s super bulky and kind of uncomfortable, but I love it still.

What’s on your nails this week?
