Essie is my favorite nail polish brand. I am constantly painting my nails. So, with all my experience, I would like to share the best polish combinations for summer.

Fingernails: Private Weekend (left)

Toenails: Chillato (right)

Personally, I like to wear these colors for a day trip or weekend gateway, like a Hamptons weekend. Both colors are light and can easily match with any outfit and bathing suit. These colors will also make your tan glow and stand out.

Fingernails: Peach Side Babe (left)

Toenails: Melody Maker (right)

Peach Side Babe and Melody Maker make the perfect combination for a backyard barbecue. The fun colors of this combination represent: a watermelon, summer days, and the beach.

Fingernails: St. Lucia Lilac (left)

Toenails: DJ Play That Song (right)

These two are the perfect duo for the night life and the names say it all. Whether it is a club, restaurant or watching the sun set, this combination will complement your outfit and the weather. Hint: wearing black with this nail polish combination will look great.

Fingernails: Peach Daiquiri (left)

Toenails: Fear or Desire (right)

Warm, fun, bright colors are the perfect combination for vacation. The nail polish will add to the bright colors of the sun and crystal blue waters. So take out that iPhone and Instagram your Peach Daiquiri nails with a matching daiquiri in your hand.

Whether you choose the combinations I have displayed, or mix and match, these colors are essential for summer. Essie has many more colors to choose from at only $8.50. You can find it here: http://www.essie.com
