Beauty Bloggerati Spotlight: Best Light and Dark Nail Polishes


I'm in the market for some new nail polish, so I enlisted the advice of the DailyMakeover.com Beauty Bloggerati. Read on for some fab light and dark nail polish picks:


"My favorite go to color is OPI's Bubble Bath. It goes with any outfit and it's the perfect shade of white/pink! For dark polish, I am currently obsessed with OPI's Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow from the EspaƱa line. It's is a deep deep forresty emerald green and totally fun for the fall!" -Lisa, These Lips Are Made For Glossin'


"I found two new polishes backstage at Fashion Week that I’m loving right now. CND Putty is an a very light beige. Sally Hansen Insta Dry in Blazing Blue...a deep midnight blue." -Rachel, DailyMakeover.com


"My favorite light polish is the mix of Essie Marshmallow and Ballet Slippers (Marshmallow goes on first). It's the famed combo that all the editors wore in The Devil Wears Prada (the book), and I have yet to find a light polish that makes my nails look as lit from within. My favorite dark is NARS Chinatown. It's a much deeper maroon than the bold Mr.-Big-red-wall-red you'd expect from the name." -Amber, Beauty Blogging Junkie

"I love Essie Ballet Slippers for a pretty, sophisticated look! I just purchased my first dark polish in about 15 years today and I love it. It's Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Cinna-Snap. It reminds me of a glass of super dark merlot." -Sarah, Hair Thursday

"For dark, I like the Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora. It's black, but has sparkles, so it's not totally goth. For light, I think it's hard to top the classic Essie Ballet Slippers." -Anne, The Jet Set Girls


"I'm not a huge fan of light colors but recently I picked up Sephora by OPI's Under My Trench Coat. This is as light as I get, this shade is a very pretty beigey-grey with some gold shimmer. For my dark color, lately I've found myself going with another Sephora by OPI shade Brunette on the Internet. It's a really rich, dark burgundy brown-red. Totally vampy." -Carla, Product Girl


"For light I love Essie's Adore-a-Ball or Revlon's #910 Barely Peach. They hold up very well if you cook a lot. For dark, I am still in love with OPI's Eiffel for this Color from their Fall 2009 Parisian color collection." -Julia, All About The Pretty


"Light: Essie is Waltz the perfect white nail polish, it has no pink undertones what so ever. The pigment is not too thick so it doesn't look like you have a white-out on. The classic white. Dark: MAC in Nocturnelle is the perfect pure black shade. You can't get more black than this one. The classic black." -Marta, Talking Makeup


"Favorite dark: CND Nail Noir - I almost cried during FW when I found out it's going away. I came home and bought 6 bottles online. LOVE this color. Favorite light: Essie Mademoiselle - a favorite of mine since forever! Now my daughter Bailey's hooked on it and my bottle disappears twice as fast!" -Erika, Makeup Bag


"I do a "faux-French" manicure. I use something cheap (like N.Y.C. Color white nail polish) to paint a quick, easy French manicure tip, and then use a little bit of cuticle oil cream (or lip
gloss or olive oil) over top create the "shine effect" of a top coat (it takes seconds to do). I also love Neutrogena's Instant Nail Enhancer to give a quick, healthy shine. I only use dark colors on my toes. I really want to try those Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens, because they look like big, portable markers - so you can paint your toes in a flash." -Bailey, Makeover Momma


"OPI Lincoln Park After Dark is my go-to dark shade. It looks great on a mani or pedi - and really, when is dark purple not an option for Fall/Winter? It's classic! Revlon Sheer Pink is my everyday nude. It adds only a touch of color along with a really great shine." -Tammy, A Mom In Red High Heels
