I absolutely love the nail art trend – especially the ones you’ve seen (here and here) from my fellow blogger Erin but I have crappy nails and don’t have the patience to do them myself.  Enter my fabulous nail gal Gina. I have acrylic nails that are super short and I only need a fill once every three weeks. Because I go so long, I’m always looking for trendy but semi-neutral colors to last and go with my outfits. Erin recently brought to my attention the brand new  Essie Mirror Metallics Summer 2012 Nail Polish collection at Macy’s. When I saw this color, I knew I had to snag it. Penny Talk is an  incandescent copper that not only looks great on fingers and toes but is neutral enough to last me three weeks but trendy enough to keep me looking like I’m “in the know.” Perfection!

What’s your favorite nail color? Do you indulge in a manicure or are you a DIY kinda gal?
