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.
