Nail Polish Rocks! (And My Secret)

I thought I would share my 5 nail polishes colors that I wore a lot this summer. I know for most of you the flip-flop season is still going strong. For me, not so much. It is so off and on, but I thought I would go ahead and show me my favorite colors that I got tons of compliments on and I loved on myself. Hopefully your summer is still hanging around, so you can try out this colors if you wish!

I am talking about the colors and not the brand. Some of the brands are the actual nail polish that I used, but I could not find all of them in the brand I have, so I thought I would just give you an idea of what color I am talking about.

Also, majority of these were worn on my toes, but I bet they would look good on fingers, too!

1. Tangerine- I wore this on my toes. To me, it is a fairly neutral color. I was able to were it for a couple of weeks without feeling like it clashed with anything I wore. It is a nice color for a beach day or a BBQ. I am not a bright orange person, but this color is totally a color for me.

2. Blood Red- Who doesn't like blood red? I'm not a fan of this on my fingers although I did wear it for a couple of weeks this summer on my fingers. I prefer this color on my toes. It seems to compliment any skin complexion. This color will always be one of my favorites.

3. Fuchsia- This was a new one for me this summer. I wore it on my toes only. I am not brave enough to wear it on my fingers, but I loved this color. It was bold and bright, but still classy.

4. Blue- This was definitely big time favorite this summer. Another one of those that I would only wear on my toes, but I seriously loved the boldness of it. Blue is such a nice neutral color, too.

5. Light Purple- This was my first time ever attempting a color like this, and I actually wore it on my fingers. I got so many compliments on it from a variety of people. It made my skin appear darker than normal, which I need since I have such light skin. Seriously, this is one of my colors. It just naturally looked good on me and boost the glow in my skin. I find it to be a neutral color for any outfit, too. I actually wore this color for over 4 weeks. That's how much I loved it.

My secret:
My secret is do NOT get any sleep one night out of the week. Just run off of about 3 hours or less, and you will accomplish everything, seriously. Remember the blog "No Sleep = Long Day"? Well that long day got much accomplished. I seriously cooked (like normal), did double the cardio and added in some abs to my workout, and finished all my school work for the week, which included a test, two essays, and some homework problems for my math class. Seriously, that is the secret! I do not know how I managed, but I did. I never once got tired. I never once threw a fit and wanted to just sleep. I actually had a hard time falling asleep that night because I felt wide awake (probably wired from lack of sleep), but somehow I was so functional. I got a normal sleep for this whole 12 hour night shift and am still going like a champ today.
