Ole’ Caliente

Here is my latest and greatest nail color that I am sporting. It seemed like a fun summer color, and there’s no better time to sport a summer color than when it’s 114 degrees outside! Smile

This color is called “Ole’ Caliente” by Essie, from their summer 2012 collection, I believe. It borders on both coral and red. I’d call it a fire engine coral, if you will. I have had it on since Thursday, and it is now chipping around the tips of my nails. This is nothing unusual for me, though, since nail polish and my nails are not long-term relationship material. I am lucky to get two days of wear without chipping and peeling, even with amazing and expensive topcoats. Here’s one more picture for good measure:

What’s your flavor (or color should I say) of the week? Do you prefer to do your nails yourself or to get them done? How many toenails do you have? Me? Eight. That’s hot.  I had to ask for all you runners out there….lol!

 

Happy Trails!

Essie’s “Demure Vix”

My friend Susan was wearing a beautiful color on her toes, so I asked her what it was. It was a color by Essie called “Lady Like.” I tried to find it at my Walgreens, but it looks like it was a limited edition color, or just a color that they didn’t carry anymore.

She is such a nice friend, and showed up at our run last week with a similar color that she had and gave it to me! How sweet is that!! I really like it, and am wearing it on my fingernails right now:

It is a nude color, slightly darker than the nail bed, with a slightly pink duo chrome. It is one of those colors, I think, that would go with anything. Definitely one to check out!

A beautiful color for summer that I got on clearance at Walgreens for 4 bucks! Can’t beat that!
