I’ve been having way more fun than usual with nail polish. Some days I find myself building outfits around my nail color, which is either incredibly sad or incredibly smart. Turns out, nail polish is the easiest accessory on earth! (what? you already new that?!). I’ve been looking for the perfect red-orange to make my hands look tan and my generally neutral get-ups look more summery. Here it is: Essie Too Too Hot, from the brand’s 2011 summer collection.

There’s something about this retro shade that classes up the joint without looking too tropical or trendy. Do you like, or do you loooove?

P.S. – The entire collection is brillz, especially Absolutely Shore, a pale seafoam green I can’t wait to get my mits on.
