NOTD: Summer's Almost Over

28 Comments

Summer's almost over, but I won't let it end without showing you my nails with the most summerific color I can think of.


Fun, bright, in-your-face orange! A color that definitely stands out. If this color isn't summerific enough for you, then I don't know what is.


These were my nails a few weeks back. Had them done at my current favorite nail salon - Nailandia Spa!

I never liked the color orange. Especially on my nails. I rarely sport orange nails because I believe the color makes my hands look darker. But when I was choosing which shade to go for when I was getting my nails done, this neon orange really caught my eye. I decided to be more 'adventurous' this time and give orange another chance. Besides, it's summer, and this color's perfect for the season.


I didn't expect to like the results as much as I did. This particular shade seemed to be alright for my skin tone. Still not the best, I believe, but I had nothing to complain about.


Ok, fine. So not all oranges look bad on my nails.

  3. I love this color! <3 I've always been a fan of orange shades, in bags, tops, pants, etc. But I haven't had my nails painted orange. Will do super soon though before summer ends :) Anyway, I think my most summerific nail color's a pastel yellow, ala lemon XD

  5. Hmmm, the only orange from those brands that I know of is Sun Kissed from Caronia's Sweet Bliss collection. Not as bright as this one, though :) http://www.codenameaya.com/2011/05/caronia-sweet-bliss-collection.html

  8. Reminds me of orange jelly! :D


    Yeah, I noticed that too. This one was so bright, it made my skin look paler/fairer in the background, if that even makes sense. Haha
