Don't Spend a Mint on Color Trends

I rarely jump on the latest fashion color trends because the colors often don't look great on my extremely pale person, and let's face it, the "it" color now is going to be the "out" color three months from now. It's just safer to buy colors I look good in and stick with them. I love the mint that is uber-trendy right now though. It is way too light for me to actually wear clothing that color, but I found this Mint Sorbet nail polish at Rite Aid, which is allowing me to participate in the trend for $3.26, tax included. Fortunately, it looks great with my existing indigo, fuchsia, turquoise summer wardrobe. Unfortunately, it also makes me want mint chocolate chip ice cream every time I look at my hands....

 

Other trending colors that my nails will be sporting this summer: coral, bright yellow, emerald green, turquoise, and cobalt. I love the tiny bottles of polish because 1) they are usually under a dollar and 2) I can use them up in one season and not feel like I am wasting a whole bottle of polish, and also not have out of date colors piling up in my medicine cabinet. I got the mint and coral in bigger bottles because I can see the coral transitioning into fall and the mint being my go to fingernail color this summer as lighter colors work better on my hands.

I can't wait to try the coral with my aqua shoes!

One trending color I didn't have to buy: bright pink. This is a summer staple for me. Fuchsia Shock. That's what my husband goes into when I start dragging out my bright colors for summer!
