It's summertime, chicas, and that means trading in all your dark, rich polishes for pretty, playful pastels. These soft shades are stylish, flirty, and look especially great against a nice summer tan. I can't think of a better way to add a little pop to your mani and pedi. Best part is it's so easy to find affordable polishes that come in these summer-friendly colors. Check out a few of my favorite ones–all for $10 or less!
