March nail favorites

         This March, I've been wearing light and sheer makeup, however my nails have been packing a punch. They're all pink-y, peach-y, coral-y, or some combination of the above. I've taken these pictures in major sunlight, so all of them photographed towards the more saturated pink end of the spectrum. In more shaded lighting, they might lean more towards the orange end, as one would expect of these colors.


        Orly Lola is an old favorite. I think I've mentioned this bright yellow pink more times on this blog than I can count! OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston is a pinky-coral jelly. It's a bit sheer which makes for a Cool-Aid like effect that I like. L'Oreal Mango-Get-Em  is a really old favorite from back when I used to collect L'Oreal colors. It's the perfect coral. NARS Orgasm nail polish is a really pretty frosty peach with gold shimmer. This color is a bit too peach for my skin-tone, but I like it anyway.


       I suspect that from these colors I've been itching for a trip to somewhere tropical. Well, that's not happening soon, but a girl can dream, right? I hope everyone had a great March--- were you an April Fool? What has been on your nails lately?

Love, Dovey.

    1. Hi Lindsey, thanks! Actually I think it might be carried at Sephora. It's a perennial color I believe. Good luck finding it :)

  5. I love all of these! Makes me want to paint my nails a punchy color. I've basically taken a month off of polish on my nails and they're looking a lot healthier now so I think it's time :)

  9. These are great, cheerful colors! I've been wearing a lot of dark shades recently (of course, ha!) but now I'm giving my poor nails a break. Bare nails are a bit depressing, though. I usually like to see them with a bit of color - always cheers me up :)

    1. Hi Larie--- I frequently give my nails breaks too. I don't like the feeling of wearing polish too long, and even after a few days of wear they don't look so healthy. I guess dark shades do make the most of the time you do wear them!
