How To Achieve The Most Flawless Summertime Manicure

Here comes the fun part - picking a color! Every major trend reporter will have you know that there are rules to what polish color you can wear based on decade, season, and even day of the week. But we don't like rules around here, so we say wear whatever color you want WHENEVER you want to wear it. Black in the summer? That's cool. White before labor day? That's cool too!

Though, we will suggest sticking to our long-wear-gel-but-better theme and suggest THESE colors. Layered over the base coat and under the top coat, we've put debrah lippmann's gel lab pro colors to the test and added them to our cult faves!
