Polish Recommendations: Summer Nails

It is Pedi time and I'm looking for a standout summer polish that complements me. Any recommendations? #polishlover #summertoes #summernailsideas

I am a Cajun Shrimp, OPI kinda girl but definitely willing to venture out!

Short Summer Nails
Okay, here’s a long-winded nail tale—brace yourself. 💅🏽 I usually only get my nails done about 3 months out of the year. The rest of the time, I let them breathe and live their best natural life. Sometimes I’ll pop out with a fresh set for a special occasion, sometimes I don't bother at all.
