Nail Flavor of the Week: 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?
