Top 7 Nail Polish Colors for Summer 2011

   One of the easiest ways to add some color to your look is by getting a fun, colorful manicure.

   While of course nail polish is a fun way to change up your beauty look, the thing I ♥ most about it is that unlike most other makeup products, it's hygienic & easy to trade colors with your friends. Want both of those new Dior shades but can't afford Rs.1800 worth of nail polish?? Buy one, have your BFF buy the other & share them!! It's an easy way to save money & still get all the hot colors you want.

   This post'll break down the top 7 hottest nail polish colors for the summer season. So put those dark nail polishes away, gather up some of your closest friends so you can swap colors & get your nails looking gorgeous.

   #1 Quite Neutral

OPI Nail Polish in Skull & Glossbones: Rs.382

   I'm not typically a neutral fan, but I've suddenly fallen in ♥ with the color for the summer season. To me, OPI always has the best color selection & I ♥ this particular gray because it's not too dull or too white: the perfect in-between shade.

   #2 Brilliant Red

OPI Red Shattter: Rs.672

   This delightful brilliant red color, inspired by the color of the cherries, is one of OPI's most popular shades & a perfect pick for summer. I always ♥ to put it on my fingers. It's a great joyful, seductive color that looks amazing on any skin tone.

   #3 Flashy Pink

Dior Vernis in Paradise: Rs.1170

   A few months ago when Dior released their Paradise nail polish, beauty lovers went absolutely crazy for the bright pink shade. Although the bright pink trend has faded out, it hasn't stopped the pink nail polish trend. The new hue of the moment??? Candy-colored pink. I'm absolutely in ♥ with the above shade from Dior because it adds the perfect eye-catching element to a black ensemble. There's something so fresh & warm about this color: it's an absolute must have for summer.

   #4 Bold Orange

Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Girls Just Want to Have Fun: Rs.720

   Deborah Lippmann really knows how to set nail color trends, because after she released 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun', a fun, energetic hue this spring, orange nail polish became THE color to wear. Now all the other cosmetic companies are jumping on the trend bandwagon: I've seen the tangy orange color everywhere, in brands ranging from Dior to Estee Lauder!!

   #5 Happy Yellow

Chanel Vernis in Mimosa: Rs.1125

   If you're reluctant to purchase a bright red or orange nail polish, then you can always reach for a classic color like Chanel's Mimosa. No matter what year or what season it is, sunshine yellow nails always look chic. I ♥ Chanel nail polishes because they've one of the best color selections among makeup brands.

   #6 Chartreuse Green

OPI Nail Polish in Mermaids Tears: Rs.382

   This green will definitely add a great splash of color to your look & will have your nails looking fresh. If you typically stick with pinks & blues but want to reach outside of your comfort zone, I think this is a great color to start out with.

   #7 Calming Blue

Dior Vernis in Nirvana: Rs.945

   This color is very chic & will instantly make you look like a fashionista. This cooling blue will look great on all skin tones & is just a great classic color to have in your arsenal. I know you'll ♥ it as much as I do!
