Seasonal Favorites: Summer Nail Polishes

I love brightly colored nail polish. I mean I love nail polish in general, but the brighter the better. Here I've picked out my top 5 favorite nail polishes for summer. Out of the 5, my number one favorite has to Fruit Machine by Butter London. All of these colors are gorgeous and reflect the summer time. Whether you want a color that's super bright or slightly turned down, there's definitely a color here for you!

Saturday Sets

This week, my favorite sets are all about the color blue! We all know that teal and coral are my favorite colors, but I'm really loving blue right now! Whether it's blue denim, blue sweaters, shoes or accessories, I love blue! My favorites thing about these sets is that they incorporate different shades of blue! So this week, these are my favorite sets using blue items! 

(No particular order, I love them all the same!)

My Nail Polish Collection

If I were to be asked what my biggest beauty obsession is, the answer would be nail polish! I have 67 different polishes, varying in color and brand. This collection is only about 1 year old. The brand that I have the most polish in is Sinful Colors. I bought all mine from Walgreens when they were on sale and I had a 20% off coupon. So I ended up getting around 46 polishes for less than $75. Not bad, not bad at all. But let's start with my smaller collections first!

Top Row: Opening Night, Teal We Meet Again, Read My Palm, Havana Dreams, Shiny Dancer

Bottom Row: Already Famous, Handpicked For Me, It's All About Me, Wild About Shimmer

Things I Love: Coach Handbags

When it comes to handbags, the biggest two factors in my purchase are quality and functionality. Will this bag last for quite some time? How often will I use this bag? Will this bag stand up to my wear and tear? Does this bag have enough room for my everyday things? Could I use this bag for school? These are just a few items on my checklist when investing in a hefty purchase like these Coach bags. The four bags below are my favorites, meeting a high percentage on my checklist for quality and functionality!

Lindsey Satchel: $398 Candace Carryall: $398 Rory Satchel: $458 Madison Tote: $298

Shopping Tip: Check around to see if you have a Coach Outlet in or around your area! I have one about 45 minutes north of me. I got an amazing deal on a large tote! It was originally $298 and I got it for, after a 20% off coupon and outlet discount, $115. My bag was discounted by $183! Although the $115 was still an investment for me, it was completely worth the money!

Splurge and Save

Why spend over $1,000 on an outfit when you can get a similar one for less than $200? Recently, so many affordable stores have upped the quality of their merchandise in order to compete with the high end stores! I couldn't be more over the moon about this! I'm ALL about quality, but I don't want to watch my bank account dwindle away or my credit card debt skyrocket. Now knowing that I can go shopping, say at Target or Charlotte Russe, and get amazing quality for an amazing price, I'm beyond myself with excitement! 

Would you splurge or save?
