I've been running around working on projects & jumping from lunches to birthday parties this week (last night I was definitely out late on a ‘school' night!), but I've completed one of my summer missions and I needed to share!
I've been on the hunt for summer nail polish colours lately, looking for a yellow and a pink that are fun and bright but that have a bit of a muted pastel vibe to them too. This week I called off the search…
*drum roll*
The yellow is Sally Hansen's Yellow Kitty & the pink is Essie's California Coral– I love them because they remind me of popsicles, macaroons, and sunflower bouquets :)

I love those two colors, especially together. I actually tried to find a shade similar to your yellow here but didn’t come across any pastel yellow, just bright yellow.
Yellow Kitty? Hahahaha! So clever! It’s a great color, too.
Love these colors for you! They are SO summery and just a lot of fun… and I need some new colors, so I might be adding those to my collection. ;)
Prettypretty. I never paint my nails because I always feel like they’re suffocating. And it always chips overnight. Within, like, one night.
I’m sort of bad at femininity. Blurgh.
Hey Kyla,
I have the california coral too! It’s a really nice color. Word of warning though(!): After about the third day of wearing it, I find that the color loses its gloss.. so you will have to get a good topcoat as well to go overtop of it to bring some shine back (if you are like me and like shiny). Also, the brush is really skinny and the application is kind of meh if you’re doing it on top of a clear basecoat… but if you use something like O.P.I ridge filler under it instead, it is amazing.

I just bought the same Essie polish!
I think Coral is such a refreshing color for summer.
As a nail polish addict, I dig them both! Essie is my fave brand for summer colors!
Pretty colors! Just perfect in time since I need to paint my nails & would love to spend some money on some new colors.
so pretty! :)
I LOVE that pink!
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.
i just picked up that exact same sally hansen yellow nail polish last week! (when i was visiting winnipeg, coincidentally!) i love it :)
Very pretty, miss! I have been wearing the OPI color No Spain, No Gain but am about to switch to a bright pink. I like to rock the bright, bold colors in summer.
Jimaie bought me the “Yellow Kitty” for my birthday. Love it! It’s so cute. And pink is always a favorite!
I just love Yellow Kitty! That coral color is lovely!
I tasted summer when I saw the colors. Strange? Yes.
Do you love the Sally Hansen brush? I bought Pedal to the Metal and Plum Luck last week and I love how easy it is to apply.
I love pale yellow polishes, but I’ve had a hard time finding a decent formula. There must be something extra difficult in making yellow polish, because all the ones I’ve tried have been streaky. It’s worth the extra trouble, though
I have the yellow :) The only thing I don’t like about it is I had to put on 3 coats, and it seems to “crack”. It’s not like it’s $1 nail polish. I love the tone of the yellow though :)
I think I’m in love!
I love these! I don’t usually wear nailpolish on my hands, but I’d love the yellow one for a summery day.
Yay for Popsicle colors. I could go for a Popsicle right about now…
LOVE these colors!! So fresh and summery!
Pretty!!! I love me some yellow nail polish :)
I saw a post on Shannon’s page (Tattoos and Cupcakes) about Yellow Kitty a couple months ago, and immediately ran to the store to buy it. I looove!
I’m in love with Essie’s Damsel in a dress! It’s a bit purple and metallic! I think it’s the perfect summer pedicure color! I created a beach look around it. Check it out! http://thebudgetsocialite.com/fun/summer-beach-look-black-white-and-metallic-all-over/14/
Pretty! My favorite shade right now is a mango pastel I found. I heart it.
Coral is probably my favorite summer polish color, so pretty and fun!
Right now. Right this moment. I am wearing a coral shade of Essie nail polish. And it makes my heart sing every time I look at it! I like your style, Miss Kyla!
Ooh I so love these! They are definitely yummy. Thanks for sharing! I need to find some pretty shades myself, I’ve been totally into nailpolish lately! Such a fun way to “accessorize” easily. Ahhh I am so in love with summer right now! <3
I have coral on my toes right now :)
I picked up that California Coral a couple months ago — I love it! The yellow is very sweet… I can’t seem to find a yellow that isn’t highlighter neon. I want one that’s more mustard.
:) these colours are wonderful !
and i love macaroons.
I love summer shades of nail polish, although I never wear them! I always end up going with my staple OPI colors…

Ooo fun! Those are great colors. They def remind me of macaroons as well! I have not done my nails yet this summer… I have the nail polish skills of a 5 yr old. No joke. It’s bad.
These are the same colors I wanted to repaint my bike with! Citrus… mostly lemon & grapefruit… but with orange & lime tiny details. Right now my bike is appropriately named “Blue” but even when he’s all citrus-ed out I’ll still want to tell him “You’re my boy, Blue!”
I’ve got yellow on my nails too – and it’s very fun to pair outfits with complimentary colors!!
I love coral! (The color is currently on my toenails, and it’s called “Mango Get ‘Em” or something like that. :)
Super cute!!! I’m still on the hunt for the perfect pastel pink. Someday….someday…LOL
