Essie's Neon Nail Color Collection for Summer.

I mentioned that one of my must-have Summer products was a bright pink polish for my toes. This year, so far, my favorite polish is called Short Shorts and it is from Essie's The Neon Collection.

 

There are four colors to choose from, from the top:

Shorty Pants - an electric neon yellow
Short Shorts - a bright flamingo pink
Bermuda Shorts - a vibrant violet
Mini Shorts - a super hot orange

 

You can scoop up these polishes individually for $8 each, or in the 4-piece mini set for $18. Shop online at essie.com or at fine nail salons that carry the Essie products.

My Mother drives me insane when it comes to nail care. She ONLY gets pedicures in the Summer, and never even had a manicure. I sometimes wonder where I came from!!!

Just in case your Mom is different than mine and loves to pamper her nails, I have found a real treat for her.

This is Essie's new Spring Collection called Starting Over, $45. In this set has is complete set of new colors:

E-Nuff Is E-Nuff - a cherry red
My Way - sheer baby pink
Pinking Up The Pieces - iridescent pink
Read-Y Set Ex - orange red
Starter Wife - sheer pink
Wife Goes On - true red

P.S. Don't let her think you are insinuating anything with the name of the collection or shade names.
