Sophisticated Summer

Summer allows you to have a bright and bold color palette. While hot pink polish might be a favorite of mine for summer it is just not always appropriate. I was so excited when Jessica Cosmetics released "Gelato Mio!" her summer 2012 polish collection. This collection is made up of refined polishes reflecting the prettiest pastels of Italian ice cream, making it the ideal collection for sophisticated summer.

{Banana Peel}

Banana Peel is a gorgeous pale yellow creme.

{Barely Blueberry}

Barely Blueberry is a pretty pale sky blue creme polish.

{Lime Cooler}

Lime Cooler is a playful margarita green creme and a little bit brighter then the other colors in the collection.

{Strawberry Shake It}

Strawberry Shake It is a stunning pale pink creme. This polish would look fantastic at a wedding especially worn by a bride.

 {Surfer Boyz 'n Berry}

Surfer Boyz 'n Berry is the ideal Tiffany & Company blue.

 {Tangerine Dreamz}

Tangerine Dreamz is the ideal tangerine hue. Even if you are not into trendy colors this is a must have for your collection.

My overall thoughts: Summer is all about color. This collections is the perfect in between balance of brights and pastels, making it perfect for parties, lounging, travel and of course the office. This is one of those collections where every color is a must have. What do you think of these colors?
