6. OPI Strawberry Margarita

Buy here.

Super-bright and perfectly pink, Strawberry Margarita has been one of my go-tos for more than a decade now. (Yep, I’m old!) This universally flattering polish looks amazing on all sorts of nail shapes and lengths. It’s also a fab choice for those summer-ready pedis.

7. ORLY Frolic

Buy here.

I call Frolic my “look at me!” nail polish. This vibrant orchid hue is extremely pigmented and just on the verge of being neon. If you need a bold purple to round out your lacquer collection, this is my fave.

8. Essie Chinchilly

Buy here.

Once autumn hits, I break out Chinchilly. This quintessential greige is a sophisticated, trendy take on a neutral. And as is the case with most Essie polishes, the formulation is fantastic.

9. Sinful Colors Silhouette

Buy here.

If you’re into pastels, check out Silhouette. It’s a dreamy lavender with a hint of gold shimmer, and has a “demi matte” finish. The soft color and subtle sparkle is eye-catching, but not over-the-top. Love it!

10. Deborah Lippmann Mermaid’s Dream

Buy here.

The name says it all. Aqua-toned Mermaid’s Dream is a glittery concoction that looks like it was plucked right out of the sea. Aside from the shimmery, otherworldly color, the texture on this polish is sublime. It, obviously, reminds me of a mermaid’s tail!
