OPI Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around is a light pink toned nude with a cream finish. Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around has the same great formula that I typically find with OPI. It applies very smooth and only needed two coats for an opaque look. I really like neutral nail colors like this one and find that it looks nice in every season with all kinds of outfits and jewelry.

Price: $8.00 * Size: 0.6 fl oz (full size) The Orly Nail Lacquer in Cake Pop is a pale pink with no shimmer or glitter. Cake Pop is a part of the Sugar High collection for Summer 2015. Despite being a pale pink, Cake Pop has a really nice formula. It was self leveling and applied rather opaque. I only needed two coats of Cake Pop to get the opaque look in the swatches. XOX ♥
Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Beauty Brands * Size: 0.46 fl oz The Essie Nail Lacuqer in Chillato is a bright pastel yellow green with no shimmer or glitter. Chillato is a part of Essie's summer collection for 2015. Colors like this often do not have the best of formulas, but Chillato's formula is actually pretty nice. It applies pretty opaque and is only slightly patchy, but it tends to even out. On my nails is two coats of Essie Chillato. XOX ♥
Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Orly's Website * Size: 0.6 fl oz / 18 mL The Orly Nail Lacquer in Harmonious Mess is a cool toned lilac with no shimmer or glitter. Harmonious Mess has a pretty nice formula, especially since it is a pastel color. The polish is not too thick or too thin, and it applied very smoothly to the nails. Shown on my nails is two coats of Harmonious Mess. XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 11.8 mL The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Breezy Blue is a pale blue with very subtle shimmer. Breezy Blue is part of the Xtreme Wear permanent line. One coat of Breezy Blue is quite sheer and gives the nails an icy look. Somehow with two coats it became completely opaque, despite the rather sheer, thin formula. You can really see the frosty micro shimmer in the polish with one coat, but with two it just looks like a creme, with the shimmer no longer visible. Shown on my nails is two coats of Breezy Blue. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.46 fl oz The Essie Nail Lacquer in Mint Candy Apple is a bright pale blue. Although "mint" is in the name, it really doesn't have any green in it, it's pretty much a true blue. I did swatch this polish about a year ago, but looking back at it, I don't like how it looks, so I wanted to post new swatches. Mint Candy Apple has a nice formula, like the other Essie colors I have tried. I used two coats of Mint Candy Apples in the pictures. XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 11.8 ml The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Floaties is a pastel yellow based pink with a creme finish. Floaties is a part of the Xtreme Wear limited edition Electric Summer collection. Floaties had pretty nice coverage for a pastel polish, you could get away with two coats, but I used three coats of Floaties in the swatch pictures. XOX ♥
Price: $10.50 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 12 ml The Formula X for Sephora Nail Color in Heart-Stopping is a cool toned lilac with a creme finish. It is in the New Neutrals collection. Heart-Stopping has a great formula, it's pretty thin but still manages to be full coverage. This is a lighter color so it's not as opaque as darker shades I've tried from this line, but it's still completely opaque in two coats. I know this isn't the most unique shade of nail polish, but the formula is to die for! XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.4 oz / 11.8 ml The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Mint Sorbet is a pastel mint creme. Like most of the Xtreme Wear polishes, Mint Sorbet has a very opaque formula and only needed two coats to be completely opaque, although you might be able to get away with one. Mint Sorbet's formula is slightly thick, but I still think that it has an average dry time. XOX ♥
Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Rite Aid * Size: 0.35 fl oz / 10 ml The Julie G Nail Color in Birthday Suit is a pastel peachy pink polish with no glitter or shimmer. I've always wanted to try out the Julie G brand, but there are no Rite Aid stores near me, so when I went on a trip to Colorado (where there are Rite Aids) I had to pick up a Julie G polish! The application of Birthday Suit was pretty nice, but the polish did take a while to dry. I adore the color, though, it's pastel but still bright and looks so nice and feminine on the nails. I used three coats in the swatches. XOX ♥
