Favorite Things- Nail Polish!

I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for their Favorite Things Party! 

Today it is all about Nail Polish!  I just started taking care of my nails at the start of this year.  It was a personal New Year's goal for me to keep my nails filed and painted.  I grew up watching my mom painting her nails every Saturday night for church on Sunday morning.  Her nails always looked (and still do) so pretty!  I always keep my toenails painted in the summer months, but I have NEVER painted my nails (except for my wedding)! 

So- at 34 years old- I am finally painting my nails and I am really enjoying it!  

Here are a few products I am loving and using regularly!

My mom uses this top coat and it works great!  I am ALL ABOUT the quick dry top coats and this one definitely does a great job of drying fast!  It is a little on the thicker side and I prefer my top coat to go on a tad bit thinner...does that make any sense?!? :)

This is the top coat I am currently using...I really like how shiny it makes my nails look and it helps extend the "life" of my nails for several days.  I do wish it would dry quicker though! It is a great price at under $7!

I want to get this top coat next- it has awesome ratings and under $10!

I have found the two brands of nail polish that I really like are OPI and Essie.

I currently have this Essie polish on my toenails and fingernails...it is called Mod Squad!

The other color I use regularly is Essie's Lacquered Up 

and it is a really, pretty classic red color!

How fun are these colors? You can get this mini 4 pack on Nordstrom's website! Such pretty Spring colors and I think that aqua color would be so fresh for the summer too!  The Easter Bunny might have to drop this off for me! :)

What are some of your favorite nail polishes?  Any brands/colors I need to try?

I hope you have a wonderful day!!  Let's make it a great week!
