Regular Nail Polish

Can't go wrong with the classic Essie polish. These are my favorite colors.

I wear this color most often because it's very natural and can go with any color you wear.

Press-on Nails

If you're like me and don't always have the time and patience to paint your nails, I'd recommend these press-on nails. They last so much longer than nail polish does.

I love these nails. They lasted me 3 weeks and they're reusable.
