My Top Five Nail Paints For Summer
Five of the best, long lasting nail paint shades best suited for summer, from different brands with different kind of hues to suit all your moods from basic to experimental.
Hello my loves. Today’s article is a bit different than my usuals. It’s a nail polish swatch with mini review on each of them. I have never been a big nail paint buff before. I hate it when they chip off from the edges and leaves a hard to remove patch in the middle of my nails. But these polishes are pretty long lasting and chip resistant. So here are my top five nail paints for summers.

Summer Nail Colour 1: Sugar Tip Tac Toe Classic Nail Lacquer – 71 Mustard Memory
Nails as bright as the summer sun itself, that’s the vibe of this nail paint. The name itself says it all, this is a mustard shade which makes it a winner of the top 5 summer nail paint chart. This paint does not chip, stays put for three whole days even after doing house chores. Fades away slowly after that but if you don’t do a lot of work with soap or water then it’ll stay intact for up to a week. It has a very thick brush tip applicator which ensures almost opaque coverage in one go but an applicator this thick can be problematic for small nails. Double coat is required for a 100% opaque coverage. Since the consistency of this nail paint is thick I highly recommend you to give a nice gap of time between two coats for the first coat to dry out completely.
Priced at Rs.199 for 10ml, available both online and offline. Click here to get it.
Summer Nail Colour 2: Nykaa Cookie Crumble Nail Enamel – 188 Blueberry Shortbread
No nail polish list in India is complete without a Cookie Crumble polish from Nykaa. Almost everyone complimented me on my nail paint when I wore this which gives it the second place on the top 5 summer nail paint chart. I have this shade called Blueberry Shortbread which has a faint hue of blue which almost looks like white when applied very thinly. Unlike the sugar one this polish has a perfectly thick brush which covers all the nooks and corners of all shapes of nails. Nykaa Cookie Crumble nail paints are a bit thin in terms of consistency so three coats give a properly opaque coverage, however double coats look the best if you ask me. Takes some time to dry so keeping a gap between the two coats is recommended.
Priced at Rs.199, available on Nykaa stores & website. Click here to get it.
Summer Nail Colour 3: Sugar Tip Tac Toe Classic Nail Lacquer – 25 Jack Of All Jades
A bright shade with the touch of the sea & the sky, that’s what I felt while putting this nail paint on for the first time. This shade Jack of All Jade is described as aqua green on the Sugar Cosmetics’ website though. Whichever colour this is, it’s perfect for the summer. Brightens up the mood as well as the nails. I personally feel this is the shade to pick up when you are feeling a bit more experimental because it’s not a basic shade at all. Does not chip, stays put for three whole days even after doing house chores. Fades away slowly after that but if you don’t do a lot of household works then it’ll stay intact for upto a week. It has a very thick brush tip applicator which ensures almost opaque coverage in one go but an applicator this thick can be problematic for small nails. Double coating is required for a 100% opaque coverage.

Summer Nail Colour 4: Faces Canada Splash Nail Polish – 56 Floral Dream
This beautiful feminine shade of pinky-mauve is my favorite pick for those days when I prefer a bit less drama on my nails. This is actually a nice nude nail polish for all seasons. This polish comes in a cute little bottle(now they have changed the packaging though) with an applicator not too thick nor too thin. Two coats are enough for that shiny opaque coverage. Though it I wish it lasted a little longer than it actually does. It fades after 2-3 days but it can chip off if not very careful while working.
Priced at Rs.109 for 8ml this nail polish is available both on offline and online stores. Click here to get it.
Summer Nail Colour 5: TS Color Police Nail Enamel – Now N Then
Who does not love a perfect grey nude nail paint! To end this list of my top five my final pick is this grey shade from TS Color Police nail paint range and why not! A grey nude is a must have for every nail polish lover. This one has a moderately thick consistency, needs two coats for fully opaque coverage. Not entirely chip resistant but stays put for two whole days.
Ratils for Rs.75 for 9ml, available on Big Bazaar and on Nykaa. Click here to get it.
So that’s it for this article. These are top five picks for summers. I have included a bit of all for all kind of moods and occasions.
