Current nail color?  Zoya Zuza on my toes, Essie Eternal Optimist on my hands

Favorite on your fingers? Essie Eternal Optimist or Mink Muffs.  Or Zoya Jana Toes?  Anything bright and sparkly.  I'm loving the Zuza

Color you regret buying?  Hmmm...I have a darker purple that I love on my toes, but it ALWAYS makes them turn yellow, and I hate that.  I don't wear it because of that.

Color you're most happy about purchasing?  Any of my Zoya polishes, and Essie Eternal Optimist (a nude pink) and Mink Muffs (a dark taupe).  I wear Eternal Optimist and Mink Muffs all the time

sarabear23

Current nail color? Some purple with glitter from the nail salon on my toes, and Essie's Beach Bum Blu on my fingers.

Favorite on your fingers? Toes? Favorite on my fingers? Essie's Turquoise &Caicos  Toes - Essie Peach Daiquiri

Color you regret buying? This random glittery pink I've got. It's hideous. It makes my nails look like i dipped them is crisco.

Color you're most happy about purchasing? Hands down, Turquoise & Caicos. Love it.  I also really love Navigate Her from Essie.

I'm a huge fan of Lincoln Park After Dark.

Can I thread jack sort of quick?  I bought a pretty coral colored dress for a wedding.  I have nude pumps to wear with it, but I'm bringing flip flops...I want to do my toes pretty in case I switch to the flip flops...what color would you guys do?  I don't like matching too perfectly, so I don't want to do a coral.

sarabear23

I love turquiose and coral together. Or a purple would be cute too. Do you have a picture of the dress?

J&K10910

It's this dress, in the coral color: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/dressfinder/viewall/PRD~1114637/LC+Lauren+Conrad+Pintuck+Crochet+Dress.jsp

I was going to say turquoise as well, J.

J&K10910

I love turquoise, and then I could just keep the Zuza.  That would work!

sarabear23

That dress is CUTE. And I think the zuza polish would be great with it.

J&K10910

Thanks!  Lauren Conrad is annoying as fuuuck, but damn it she makes cute dresses.  I had to choose between 3 that I really liked, all her LC line.

Ok, threadjack over.  Sorry and thank you for the help

Sara, have you tried Zoya polishes?

Current nail color? My fingernails are a really light pink and my toes are bright red.

Favorite on your fingers? Toes?  I like lighter colors on my fingers so if it chips, it is not as noticible. I really like bright colors on my toes since it is fun.

Color you regret buying? This darker blue that I thought was really pretty when on, but it stained my toes blue

Color you're most happy about purchasing? A coral color. It works great during the summer when I need to just paint my nails really quick and it goes with everything.

sarabear23

I have not. I wanted to get some a while back when they were doing the 2 free, just pay shipping deal, but never did.

How do you like them compared to Essie? I find the Essie formula to be a lot thinner than my OPI polish, but I love them. I'm planning on buying Bikini So Teeny and Play Date in a week or so.

J&K10910

I think the quality is a lot better than Essie.  They're thin, but what's nice is that the coverage is rated on the site--so you can look and see how sheer it is.  Even the more opaque ones are thinner, which I like because I think the thicker it is, the easier it chips.

sarabear23

Good to know! I think I'll get one or 2 and try them out. I saw the color Kimber on a blog, and LOVE. I'm getting that for sure.

J&K10910

I have Kimber.  It's a perfect summer toenail color.  LOVE it.  They do promos all the time.  I have 9 full sized polishes and 3 minis, and I think I've paid all of about $18 for them.  Like them on FB, they do a lot of Flash promos there.

Current nail color? Zoya Carly with OPI Serving Up Sparkle in top. Favorite on your fingers? Toes? China Glaze Ruby Pumps and OPI Let Me Entertain You. I like them both as manis and pedis, I usually have the same color on both. Color you regret buying? I don't exactly regret buying it, but I have few occasions to wear Zoya Ivanka. There are definitely colors I regret buying, but they're mostly drugstore brands and I don't even remember what they are because I only wore them once. Color you're most happy about buying? China Glaze Ruby Pumps

sarabear23

Ooh awesome, I'll like them for sure. Thanks! Angel, I saw the Carly one as well and it's supr pretty!

J&K10910

Ooh, I just got Carly.  I haven't worn it yet.

Current nail color? nothing on fingers; kind of a Barney purple on toes with a white flower

Favorite on your fingers? Toes? CND Shellac in Masquerade; Zoya Arizona

Color you regret buying? A gold shimmery one; it's pretty but too yellow-y gold for my skin and REALLY hard to remove.

Color you're most happy about purchasing? Zoya Sophia for winter; Zoya Kiki for summer

My pedi is looking crummy. Time for another this week!

I have a french on my nails.  I have a color called "jewel of india" on my toes. I chose it because FI is originally from India and I thought it would be funny... but it turns out I really love the color!  It's like a medium purple with some gold iridescence.

Current nail color? Avon Sunshine on my fingers and Avon Coral Beat on my toes

Favorite on your fingers? Toes? Avon Wicked it's a deep red with a little shimmer, it's perfect for nights out

Color you regret buying? Well FI works for Avon corporate so I don't spend more than $2 on polishes so I don't feel too bad about buying anything weird, although the Absinthe color I just got wasn't as vivid/summery of a green as I was hoping. Oh and any crackle or magnetic polish has always been disappointing

Color you're most happy about purchasing? Vintage boutique which is light chocolately brown in some light and a dusky purple in others, was very surprised how nice it looks

divinemsbee

Current nail color? Toes: MAC Vivid Effect (super-bright coral pink), Fingers: Rescue Beauty Lounge Orbis non Sufficit (the most perfect green polish in existence-deep hunter green with a hint of grey but still super glossy with no glitter).

 Favorite on your fingers? Toes? Fingers: I love Butter London's Tramp Stamp (dark chocolate brown) and La Moss (really deep vampy red) for fall. This summer I've been wearing Deborah Lippman Footloose (bright red) a lot. Toes: Butter London Macbeth (really bright slightly orange coral) and China Glaze First Mate (a blue that's a bit lighter than navy, but not crayola). 

 Color you regret buying? I bought a couple of yellows when they were first coming out. They were really trendy but didn't look great on me. Butter London Cheeky Chops and China Glaze Classic Camel. 

 Color you're most happy about purchasing? I was really happy I bought the Nails,Inc. Kensington Caviar Topcoat. It's awesome and works as well as Seche Vite but isn't as clumpy or thick. Color-wise, I just got in my pre-order for the new Rescue Beauty Lounge collection and I am loving Oriental Poppy (perfect poppy red/orange with tiny red and pink microglitter). I got it to wear as my manicure for my wedding and it's perfect.

I totally forgot RBL Locavore... I love that polish. I only wear it on my nails though, not my toes. If I were home, I would have been better at this poll. I have about 200+ polishes and it's hard to think of them all, haha.

sarabear23

Holy crap Angel! 200?

I've got like 20, and I want more. I'm a nail biter, and I seriously need to stop. Painting my nails really helps, because I like having them look pretty.

Current nail color?  OPI Black Cherry Chutney
Favorite on your fingers? OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Toes?  OPI Black Onyx
Color you regret buying?  OPI Pepe's King Prawn Purple (so much glitter it wouldn't dry smooth and glossy)
Color you're most happy about purchasing? OPI Eiffel for this Color
I'm not allowed to wear extreme colors at my job (I'm pushing it with the dark, vampy purples), so I always am super conscious of what is on my nails.  I don't think they've seen the light of day in a few years.  Always polish!

AdeleDazeem

Current nail color? ooh... I have "Sassy" from Del Sol on.  It changes from a pale pink to a mauve-pink in the sunlight!  clicky

Favorite on your fingers? Toes? I'm moody with colors - I change it up all the time.  I'll put on anything from pink to red to purple to green to blue to sparkles to crackle.  Toes and fingers MUST match.

Color you regret buying? I don't like pale pale colors.  If I'm going to get my nails done, then I want COLOR.

Color you're most happy about purchasing? Green.  My husband begged for green one day so I went with it!

[Deleted User]

I don't paint my fingernails. On my toes I currently have OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry. That's definitely one of my favorites.

I'm getting ready to switch to OPI Blue Moon Lagoon. I also love that one.

Other favorites:
OPI Glacier Bay Blues
OPI My Private Jet
OPI Give Me the Moon
OPI Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ

Least favorite:
OPI Italian Love Affair (it's a garish bubble gum pink, hated it)

StefffiC

I keep gel nails on and I wear an OPI color I can't remember - it's a burgundy with some copper. My toenails match.

I think I own three nail polishes at home. LOL
