When we decided to go to Monterey for spring break I knew I wanted a fun nail in coastal shades. Looking through my colors last spring’s favorite Essie’s A Crewed Interest stood out and since I’ve been obsessing over mint for the last year with a heavy emphasis these last few months I decided to freehand a fun chevron tip in Essie’s Absolutely Shore.

Pretty sure there’s not a better backdrop to do a mani pic then a bed of sea shells. Of course my obsession ring came along too, the In A Flash Ring ($16) from my eBoutique: http://www.youravon.com/aliciahessinger
Essie’s Absolutely Shore is the perfect spring coastal beach shade, and I’m “absolutely sure” about that. So sure, I did my toes in it! Even though our spring break was only a day trip it was well worth it to feel the sand on my toes, a feeling that NEVER gets old!
Well you know how I feel about Monterey and the BEACH!! this post just made my day and how about us both having Absolutely shore! I haven’t done any fancy manis but it is such a nice refreshing color. LOVE this picture and those beautiful California shells.
