This past weekend, I was in my bathroom and looked over at my nail polish shelf. In that moment, I thought “If I could only have 5 nail polishes for the rest of my life, which ones would I choose?”. I immediately sat down on the floor next to my shelf and began to ponder. I fairly quickly came up with the first four, but continue to debate the fifth position. That being said, I thought I’d share my top 5 nail polish colors that I own (all of which I’ve shared at some point on my “Nail polish Of The Week (NOTW)” posts.
Essie’s Smokin’ Hot.
No picture does this color justice, but it’s gorgeous! It’s a deep, smoky gray, and is ideal from late fall until early spring (but if you’re not into doing things seasonally like I am, than it is ideal year round!).
Essie’s Fiji
This light pink color is fantastic, beautiful, and delicate, is works for all sorts of occasions, whether you’re out to have a good time or at a fancier party or wedding.
Essie’s Midnight Cami
This shimmery navy blue is absolutely gorgeous, and I was obsessed this past January, wearing it three weeks in a row (I don’t do that with polish unless it is gel, so the fact that I did that speaks volumes on my love for this color). The only hesitation I had in putting this color in my top 5 was wondering if I could get away with wearing this color the rest of my life 🙂
OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark
GORGEOUS. This deep maroon looks dark purple or black depending on the light, and I absolutely love it! I purchased this color a few years ago, and it has been a top favorite since that time. Again, this is a winter color for me.
Essie’s Peach Daiquiri
First of all, I want to start off by saying that I absolutely love this color (I even wore it to Mexico this past spring!), and I think it is an ideal color for the spring and summer months. I ended up deciding on this polish for my fifth color because I thought it would be an appropriate color throughout my lifespan. Even if I didn’t want to wear navy or gray or blue, this color would serve me well throughout the years.
Runner Up Colors
Essie’s Mint Candy Apple
I absolutely adore this color, and it would feel really sad for me to never be able to wear it again. The reason I didn’t end up choosing this is because I thought it might be a bit more of a trendy color that might go very out of style at some point.
Essie’s Jamaica Me Crazy
I also love this color deeply, and considered switching this one with midnight cami, since they are a similar tone and they both have the same shimmer to it.
So there you go- my top 5 polishes and my 2 runner up polishes. You’ll notice I didn’t include any glitter, which was definitely sad, but I couldn’t give up a color spot for some extra shine 🙁 I’m definitely glad that I don’t have to choose just five colors, as nail polish is such a fun little thing that brings a smile to my face on a daily basis:)
Now it’s your turn to share! If you could only choose a handful of nail polish colors, which one(s) would you choose?
Oh I like the Smokin’ Hot one! And I’ve heard so many great things about the OPI Lincoln Park After Dark one. I may have to buy those two!
They are both really beautiful colors! You could definitely add them to your Christmas list 🙂
