Suit Yourself: Match Your Polish to Your Bikini!


We basically live in bathing suits in the summer. This year, nab the perf nail polish to complement that bikini, babe!
 
Whether you swear by sweet florals or walk the wild side with animal prints, we’ve scoured the salons so you can nail an amazing mani, no matter what kind of suit you're sporting!

*Flirty Florals
You're a girly girl! Pick out a classically feminine hue out of that colorful floral suit like red, coral or pink.
 
  

 
 
 
 
*Black & White and Zebra all over
Any black and white suit looks fab with a splash of color on those digits. Surprisingly, a flirty yellow adds an instantaneous fun factor.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
*Preppy Plaid
Got a totally cute plaid two-piece? A sheer, shimmery ice blue ups the cool factor big-time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*Super Sporty
Love bright hues and athletic suits? Neons (on your nails AND suit) ensure that ya stand out when you’re on the sand.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*Boho Babe
You've got an effortless cool vibe that's hard to match. A creamy peach polish is down to earth, yet stylish.

MOD!!! I want to be tan but not used the spray-on stuff. Is there sunscreen or somthing that will work? Check out my profile!!! Smile

 

Hey girl!  If you don't like spray-on tan, you can try tanning lotions.  There are some moisturizers that make you look more bronzed.  I've never used them before, but you can prob find them at your local Target.  Best, Kristen

MOD! I have heavy eye-lids, and i'm really sick of them. Is there ANY WAY possible to make them not so heavy? Or at least make them LOOK like they aren't heavy?

 

Hey girl,

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think I know what you're describing. If so, you probably have deep-set eyes. These eyes are very exotic and will look beautiful of you use an eyelash curler and a light colored shimmery eyeshadow.

Ok, so i'm going back to school soon, what is a good nail color to paint my nails for the first day of school. I want a color that will go well with my skin color which is a medium brown (im african american), yet I want something unique too. Any suggestions? Thanks!!




Hey girl, go for a purple matte color. Mattes are way in, and a cool purple is bound to look rockin' with whatever you wear your first day.

kirakira_glitter96 on 8/5/2009 4:42:20 PM

ok i like the floral bikini and the red nail polish, the zebra print tankinis cue but i hate the nail polish, i love the plaid bikini (im addicted to plaid!) and the blue nail polish, i cant stand that neon bikini but i have nail polish almost exactly like that, and that bathing suit would be my fave if it werent strapless (the nail polish is ok)

Hey, has GL ever had an online reciepe for like a facial mask. and wats a gud and easy way to look great both weight wise and make-up wise for school start. thx




Hey babe, try this one: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2007/12/24/how-to-make-an-awesome-oatmeal-facial-mask.aspx




Wear an outfit that's flattering for your body and go natural with the makeup - a little blush or bronzer, mascara and some pink lipgloss is all ya need.

MMMMMOOOOOODDDDDD I need help.

Does bright colored eye shadow look good on someone with lots of freckles on their nose and cheeks, or would it just look to busy?? I usually play down my eye shadow but go for long dark lashes. Any tips???

what would you suggest for:
a bikini with a pail teal top and a dark teal paisley bottom with a sparkley dark teal paisley butterfly on one of the boobs.
help!




Hey babe,

I think that would look really cool with some punky black nail polish! It's not just for goths anymore. It can actually look really stylish with the right outfit.

What do you think would look good with a navy blue and black striped halter-suit with a few ruffles?




Hey babe, I like orange to match navy so try a coral or orangey-pink.

prettydrama831 on 7/6/2009 10:08:00 PM

I sometimes match my polish to my bikini color. My friends think I am crazy but I sometimes do it. Those suits all looked fab.

I am looking forward to being with my friends soon and hanging out in our bikinis all day. No worries, and no parents, I cant wait.

luckykel on 7/5/2009 6:31:30 PM

what do you suggest for a dark green and sparkly pink bathingsuit? or, since i have so many, just summery in general... i was thinking a light pink coral kind of color... sort of like the last one... what do you think? MOD*MOD*MOD




Hey babe,

I think that sounds cute! Pink tends to go with pretty much everything in terms of nail color.

MOD [and bloggers] I have a dark brown halter top one piece and want a bold nail color to go with it! Any ideas!

 

Hey girl!  Brown can go with pretty much any bold color and really make it pop!  I think a bold hot pink would look cute, but if you're not so into pinks, try blues or even red for a hot summer look!  Best, Kristen

Hey girl,

Depends on what you're wearing. If it's a bright bathing suit, pick a bright color that matches one of the ones you're wearing and so on

Hey MOD-
I just got an awesome sea green pedi today, what kinda suit would be good?




Hey girl, with that kind of color, try matching the colors rather than the suit. You want to look together rather than clash with bright colors like sea green. <3 Jeannie

MOD MOD MOD! What polish should I pair with a black monokini????? I NEED this question answered please please please!!!!!!!!

 

The best thing about black is it matched EVERYTHING!  Why not try a bright pink to reel in the summer?  Going brighter makes you skin look tanner and will add color to spice up the blacked out monokini!
