I don't remember the name, but it's by Essie and it's a teal color. I tried the Essie "gel" topcoat for the first time (found it at Target). Painted nails on Friday, still no chips today. Took a little longer to dry than Steche Vite (sp), so I have some dings here and there from that first night. I saw this at Target, put it in my cart, then put it back. I decided that the $8.99 price wasn't worth it unless I had read some reviews or heard about how it worked for others. Keep us updated. I have the worst time keeping polish on my nails.

Nothing, but I am eyeing the pouch of Jamberry supplies and thinking about my poor naked toe nails.

I currently have OPI Live Love Carnaval gel on my nails. It's been on for two and a half weeks now so I should probably think about removing it but, other than regrowth, it's still shiny and perfect. I have an orangey-red Sally Hansen polish on my toes; I can't remember the name.

My nails are bare, but I'll be doing a french manicure on them tonight. My toes have this color that came in either Ipsy or Birch Box this month (can't remember which one). It's Formula X "Power Source." I love that colour.

OPI's I Eat Mainely Lobster on my fingers. It's a coral/orange with a very slight shimmer. Great summer color.
On my toes is Sinful Colors' Endless Blue. It's a really beautiful deep, royal blue. Definitely a favorite color in my collection.

I have nothing on my fingers right now. I put polish on both my fingers and toes yesterday, but I got a ton of bubbles on several fingernails and took it off. The color on my toes is a coppery metallic. I think the humidity wreaks havoc with fingernail polish.

Soya Wendy. It's a pinky orange crime. I'm getting ready to order new Zoya with the buy 3 get 3 coupon. I usually order six of the newest set each time they run the deal. I love Zoya products as they don't dry out my nails or cuticles like some polishes do.

I'm wearing Zoya Rue. It's kind of a mauve-y nude, and I'm not sure if I like it. Maybe because I'm used to loud colors, it seems a little too lady like

Stark white, in anticipation of some 4th of July nail art that I haven't fully decided on yet. Probably I will use Zoya Sooki for red stripes on an accent nail, and paint Essie Bouncer It's Me on the other nails. The white base really makes it bright.

Dior Tie Dye Gel Shine Nail Lacquer in the color "Sunkissed"
It's a gorgeous pastel apricot/peach color. I can get 1 week of wear without any chips -- I actually only have to change it after 1 week because of nail growth. I've been wearing it for weeks...that's how much I love it. It was worth the price tag for me.

Something pink, LOL. Sorry, I'm not a big polish gal. My niece painted my nails and I painted hers. So whatever a 10 year old has lying around...in pink.

I admire those of you that polish your own fingernails. I can paint my toes, but when I do my fingernails it looks like a drunk monkey did it

The color on my toes is a coppery metallic. I think the humidity wreaks havoc with fingernail polish. I bought a bottle of 100% acetone from Walmart and immediately before painting my nails I use a small brush to put a little on each nail. It gets off any oils from your nail. The brush I use is an eyeshadow smudge brush (happens to be Sonia Kashuk #105 from Target but you could use any small stiff brush) and is the same one I use to clean around my nails afterwards with acetone.

Peace and love and opi. It's a light translucent gray with a purple/green shimmer. I love this one! I love that color! As for me, after being on a red nail polish kick, I was in the grocery store today and they had a "buy one, get one 1/2 off). I picked up a couple of bottles of OPI, so tonight I just finished doing my nails in OPIs "Aphrodite's Pink Nightie" (gotta love that name) - it's a shimmery not-too-light Pink. My toenails, however are still red.

I have nothing on my fingernails now but I'm thinking about doing Jamberry Nepal relief tomorrow.
On my toes I have Zoya's Monica with white mini dots wrap on my big toes. I need to redo them soon because they've been like that for weeks.

Nothing..and I hate it. But I'm so sick of chips and then I bought the Gelish system and that just peels off my nails. I'm challenged I believe. Have you tried using a primer on your nails first? I had the same problem until we started using a primer. I have OPI Pastel Pink Gelcolor on my fingers. It's almost white with a hint of pink and it's very opaque. And I have Deborah Lippmann's I Know What Boys Like on my toes. It's so gorgeous on!

shellac tutti fruiti-- I rarely get manicures but I went shopping with my teen girls and was not in the mood so I broke off and slipped into a nail salon. My nails are super thin and brittle so she suggested the shellac. I was going to go pale pink or clear but I figured since I am paying, I might as well have them noticed! It is actually a fun summer color.

So, we ended up with "Hottie" by SinfulColor. It's a glittery, almost turquoise blue (it looked more royal/darker in the bottle. Isn't that always the way). That's on the fingers.
On toes, a new brand for me, Morgan Taylor "A Man for the Moment." It's just a classic bright red.

I just took it off as it had been on for a week and needed to change, but I had an OPI green (Can't remember the name, but it is from the spring release I believe) Nice bright fun summer color for me.

Definitely a favorite color in my collection. I am going to paint my toes Endless Blue too! Love that color and SH Pacific Blue (recommended on here a couple of years ago).
I am painting my nails one of my many hot pinks!
My nails are a mess now! Haven't redone them since the end of May!

I just use base coat.

Hmmm, I was just contemplating this. I am going for mani/pedi tomorrow and have no idea what I want. I get the gel no-chip manicures and I'm leaning towards something purply or silver. Toes, no idea. Maybe dark blue. I'll change my mind 8 times before I go.
