Happy Monday everyone! I have been searching high and low for the perfect coral color and I think I finally found it. If you haven’t been to JCPenny’s lately definitely take a trip and check out their Sephora store. Not only did I find the perfect color, but all of their Sephora brand polishes are 50% off! So instead of spending $9 on one bottle I decided to buy 2 for that price! The coral color is called “How Cute is That” and the neutral color is called “Give Peach a Chance”. I also added a pistachio green and mint green since those are some of my favorite colors this Summer. The Fresh Mint’s color is “Pistachio” and the Pure Ice is “Wild Thing.”
I searched Pinterest for some inspiration and came across a ton of things that there was no way in HELL that I’d ever be able to recreate…LOL. So I decided to go with what I know! You can’t go wrong with stripes and polka dots! I ventured out to several beauty supply stores trying my best to find a polish with the dotting tool attached and had no luck. So when I got home I used toothpicks and the other end of a match stick for my polka dots and LOVE how it turned out. Take that fancy shmancy nail art tools! But I do still want to find that tool because I have been obsessed with wanting to do a tribal art nail design but really want to do a good job.
I love how this coral color looks with my skin tone. I couldn’t get any good pictures to capture the true color, but believe me it looks great!
So how did you polish your nails this week. I’m linking up with my girls again for MANICure Monday so be sure to check out all the other bloggers as well.

Thanks Cherese! I just realized I titled this post “coral and mint” and there’s just a hint of mint…LOL.

Your nails always look great.
Alisha says
Thanks Ms. Posh!!! I always feel more creative during the Summer and can’t wait to show my 4th of July nails. I think I better start practicing now so it doesn’t look a hot a** mess! LOL

Alisha says
Thanks Tara! I used a match stick for the bigger dots and toothpick for the little ones and still in awe at how great they turned out. I lost my dotting tool and refuse to buy another one! LOL
Kimberlee says
Oooh I love it! I just may need to do my own version 😉
Alisha says
Thanks Kimberlee! And I’m still wondering why I titled it coral and mint when there’s like a smidgen of mint visable! LOL
Janie says
