What colors look best on tips and toes when the weather is sunny and nice? Neons of course! CHINA GLAZE is coming out with the Poolside collection Nail Lacquers and I can’t really decide which one I’m digging on most as it seems to change every few days. It is a four-way tie between these four:

• Flip Flop Fantasy – neon coral
• Pool Party – neon pink
• Towel Boy Toy – neon blue
• Sun Worshipper – neon orange

I’m not quite into winter and not quite into spring hues when it comes to nail polishes these days I'm just all over the map! So there's no point in talking about trends because mine are changing day to day and I don't see a pattern. So here are the five I’ve been jumping around the last few weeks.

From L to R:

OPI Nail Lacquer in On the Same Paige from the Brights Collection - $7.50 @jcpenney.com.
CHINA GLAZE Nail Lacquer in Grape Pop from the Up & Away Collection - $6.50 @ jcpenney.com.
ZOYA Nail Polish in Gwin from the Reverie Collection - $10 @ amazon.com.
ORLY Foil FX Collection Nail Lacquer in Rage - $7.50 @ sallybeauty.com.
SHU UEMURA Nail Enamel Supplement Mineral in P935 - $16 @ shuuemura.com.

Speaking of, I have been wearing CND’s Asphalt since Sunday and my fingers and it’s now Friday morning and NO CHIPS WHAT-SO-EVER. I even had to help a friend move a room the other night, which usually totally does a mani in but this is holding up. So did CND perfect the formula when they tweaked the packaging? Wow, loving this!

What’s more festive this time of year than a sparkling glitter nail polish? Not to mention how much longer it lasts on nails than regular nail polish. Here are some new ones I’m lovin’:

ZOYA Nail Polish in Astra ($10 @ ulta.com) from the Winter 09 Collection.

CHINA GLAZE Nail Lacquer in Dorothy Who? ($6.50 @ jcpenney.com) from the Wizard of Ooh Aaz Returns Collection.

POP BEAUTY Nail Glam Nail Polish in Twinkle ($14 @ dermstore.com) – if you do a traditional French manicure, use this multi-colored glitter one on top of the white tips!

COLOR CLUB Wonderland Mini Pack ($7 @ salons nationwide) – colors include Under the Mistletoe, Wonderland, Yule Love It and a clear topcoat.

There are a couple of things that will always be part of my life because I grew up with them: The Brady Bunch, Good Times and platform shoes. Thank goodness all three are very much in right now. And how can you enjoy any throwback to the 70’s without thinking about the colors? CHiNA GLAZE remembers them with their Retro Diva Collection. Here are the picks!

From L to R: Stella (raspberry), Cords (dove grey), Free Love (shimmering coral), Thunderbird (rust), Far Out (olive). $7.50 @ jcpenney.com.

Another sign of a recession is that bright colors are H-O-T, hot! And I love it! Take CHiNA GLAZE’s new  Kicks Collection 2009 of Nail Lacquers. They don’t leave anything out – blues, pinks, greens and even purple. Here are our picks from the collection.

From L to R: Sky High-Top – vibrant periwinkle, Custom Kicks – dusty teal, Paper Chasing – celadon green, It’s Poppin – bright shimmer fuchsia, Fly – red-raspberry, Oh How Street It Is – sunrise. $6.50 @ jcpenney.com.
