Summer 2009 Nail Color Round Up

We've seen this seasons edgiest colors (yellow) and most ubiquitous colors (coral) for two months now, so this season's hottest color list come as no surprise. Seeing as how we still have the hottest summer month to come and fashion repeats itself, here is a round up of what fashionable fingers and toes are wearing this summer 2009.

SHOCK VALUE Give your look edge with light purple, canary yellow or royal blue. Chanel Nail Colour in Rodeo Drive ($25), Rescue Beauty Lounge Nail Polish in Yellow Fever ($18) and Jessica Custom Nail Colour in King Tut's Gem ($6.50).

MAKE A STATEMENT with candy pink, gold and tangerine: Butter London Nail Lacquer in Primose Hill Picnic ($12), Laura Mercier Nail Lacquer in 24 Karat ($15) and OPI Nail Lacquer in Brights Power ($8.50)

THE NEW CLASSICS These revamped classics have enough reserve for the older set and enough spunk for the younger. Essie Nail Polish in Adore-a-Ball ($8), Chanel Nail Colour in L.A. Sunset ($25) and Yves Saint Laurent La Laque in Sublime Red ($19).

My favorite set for this summer is Sephora by OPI Nail Colour. The collection is long-lasting and comparatively chip-resistant. Also, there’s absolutely no DBP, toluene, and formaldehyde in their formula.

The coral colored one, 2nd to last on the right called "I'm Wired", is practically super glued to my toes. It’s great to match with fingernails or pair with a neutral.

For those who want to try these colors with out breaking the bank, Essie’s summer color 4-pack ($15) is great.

Models vs Celebs

We all know that in the world of fashion, models have a look that most people aspire to. (The good news is, today's designers are becoming more and more aware of this impossible standard.) Anyways, it's always nice to know that other people still have a chance to rock these amazing clothes! I know all of us look like Cameron and Audrina, just kidding....but seriously, it's time for today's Model vs Celeb showdown.

Ding ding ding, round one. Audrina looks baller in Diane Von Furstenberg's Giselle Dress. Maybe Whitney was able to scoop her up this hot number? And the winner is....Audrina! She leaves this model in the dust with her patent belt and clutch combo at the premier of "The Hangover".

Round two. This ones a toughy because I wasn't able to find this exact Michael Kors top, but I think you get the basic gist. The ever popular destroyed denim look is great for casual occasions, but come on Cameron, not at an awards show! Especially with such a classy Michael Kors top. That being said, Cameron still rocks this look. Round two? Cameron.

Claire Danes is an easy victor in round three. She wears a fall 2009 Calvin Klein dress effortlessly at the designer's recent summer dinner party. Cherry red nail polish, cream strappy heels and cream clutch complete this look.

Emma Watson, the fashion community's newest sweetheart, looks chic in a Jason Wu resort 2010 skirt and top and Bruno Frisoni for Jason Wu grey heels. However, as much as I love her look, its almost identical to Jason Wu's model. The model is also sporting a hot white tailored blazer and bright red lips. The last round goes to team model. However, in this edition of Model vs Celeb, celebrity's are victorious 3-1.
