My Coral Stash

Cleobella, Pieces, Asos, Theory, Yves Saint Laurent

ShopStyle

Hey dolls, I'm glad today to show you one of the color families that I've been loving so much lately....corals! I love everything about them from those that are pure corals to those that lean pink, red, or orange. Its such a gorgeous color and I think its a shade that flatters most skin tones. I love coral just as much in my wardrobe as I do on my nails. I went from having a few shades in this family to 11.

  8. Finger Paints Chroma Coral

The only two that look pretty similar are #8 and #9. Captivated and Joytini are two of my favorites in this color family. As before, let me know if you'd like to see any of these that haven't been blogged about previously. 

What's your favorite coral polish?

    I love corals too! I love Captivated. My other favorites are FingerPaints Coral Collage and Revlon Tropical Temptation, but I don't think they're being made anymore. :(

    Wow, all of those are pretty, I don't think I have but one or two corals. I'll have to start looking for more.

    Coral is such a great summer color and looks great on darker skin. Captivated is my fav though!

    I love Come to Poppy! I think I have it on my pink wheels, but it definitely fits in with these corals.

    I also found myself wearing bright corals this past summer. I cannot remember wearing really orange corals before & I loved them. They work on through fall as well to since we are doing more color this fall. You have a nice coral stash. I share 2 of the same ones you have - the Zoya and the Barielle "Fate." My fav coral??? That's a hard one. I change my mind. But looking back through time, I would have to probably say the one I have worn the most is OPI Shootout At The OK Coral. I went through 2 bottles of it when it first came out - stocked up when it was getting scarce as it was my go to summer toe shade. I was happy to see OPI brought it back out when they did their 25 yr re-release of a few shades for Ltd Ed. It was a fun 'early' out there duochrome. So that coral comes to mind if I had to grab hold of a name right now. But sit me down with my stash and I will be pulling out many others. It's nice that we have more than peachy corals that was what the 80's was filled with; it was that or a red/orange. We have a lot more options now in picks. I really love a good coral cream this year. I even got into my first neon with a pinky coral this summer!

    I don't have any Cult Nails yet Megan. If I was not going for big time surgery in a month and scared of the bills, I would be putting in the Cult Nail order I got all ready to go in the Cult shopping cart.
