Mimosa, Banana, Lemon, Butter: Yellow Nail Colors


yellow nail polish  and a french bulldog


Chanel is undoubtedly the "decider" when it comes to the nail color of the moment and this Summer is no different. With the release of Mimosa, fingers around the globe will look like they are tipped with little candies all Summer.

The other day, while perusing my own colors for Summer nail inspiration, I realized I already had a cheapy bottle of yellow polish in my own collection and decided to give yellow nails a test run before I spend $25 on a bottle of Chanel ...which, in all honesty, I probably won't because if I'm gonna shell out $25 for nail polish, it's going to be on a classic color that I'm going to get a few years of coats out of and not a trendy yellow ...but that's just me ;)

Ha! The disclaimer at the end was adorable. I love cheap nail polish and there's just no way I'd spend $25 on a bottle of nail polish anyway! Yay Wet n' Wild :)

your nails look great in yellow! I'm not sure I could pull off the color, but I'd try it on my toes... I think toes can wear any bright crazy color :)

and I totally feel you-- I'm not about to spend $25 on nail polish, let alone a trendy, wear-once-or-twice-in-my-lifetime color! :)

Whitney said...

The yellow is lovely :) I'm digging the bright colors for this summer. I use Sally's or Essie.

Norma said...

Awww! Little Leroy!!! So photogenic!! Perfect backdrop for your yellow nails!

Maegan dear, luv your blog. Thanks so much for the chuckle at the end. As for color, I think I will stick with my favorite pinks.

Claire Kiefer said...

I am totally smitten with your ring. It is gorgeous.

I just love youre DOG :)

Susan said...

I love your yellow nails- and totally agree on not spending a lot on trendy colors! Chanel has awesome nailpolishes, the quailty is really high- I have two, a pink and a black one and I use them a lot, but wouldn't spend thousands on fashionable colors.
your dog is adorable! :)

Ouuu...I'm going to have to grab up some yellow the next time I'm out. I agree with the $25, little steep for just nail polish. Your wedding ring set is GORGEOUS.

I absolutely LOVE the yellow! It looks gorgeous on you and so bright and summery fun. I would haven't ever thought of using yellow, but now I might actually have to go buy some!
