Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2024

Summer Solstice is tomorrow and so I'm sharing my top summer polishes for 2024. These are the polishes from my collection I will be reaching for more often.

If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2023 here, 2022 here, 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

Color Club Pucci-licious // Barry M Wild Fig // Orly Rinse and Repeat // Color Club Twiggie // Orly Glowstick

Pucci-licious is showing up lighter below but the bottleshot is more colour accurate. It is a bright, almost neon purple cream.

Wild Fig is a bright almost neon shade, not a barbie pink but still bright.

Rinse and Repeat is a bright summer-y blue shade.

Twiggie is showing up much more bleached in the swatch below, it is a bright spring green cream.

Glowstick is again not showing up colour accurate, it is a highlighter yellow, very neon and bright cream.

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Blue

There were eight new polishes in this category in 2023;

Barry M Berry Parfait // OPI The Pearl of Your Dreams // Orly Written in the Stars // Orly Rinse and Repeat // Barry M Blue Guava // Barry M Forget Me Not // Barry M Cornflower // Rogue A Little Dark and a Little Gloomy

Choosing my top three wasn't too hard;

Cornflower comes third, it is a nice mid blue cream polish. I like how deep it is without being too dark.

Blue Guava was from the summer release, I like how bright blue this cream is.

And so in first place is Written in the Stars, which is a light icy blue shimmer polish. I think snowflakes would look good over this.
