Georgia Peaches


Hey y'all! So my participation with the challenge I just did was an EPIC FAIL. Hardcore 'swatching' and challenges are just not for me.  I missed 2 of the 7 days, even when we were posting every other day. To my fellow challenge ladies I apologize for my lame attempts. Glad I gave it a shot, but I don't wanna get burnt out.  I love painting my nails & I enjoy trying nail art.  I've never been much of a swatcher.  When I do my nails, I paint them to do a mani that I will leave on my nails for 5-7 days.  That being said, enough of my ranting & on to the good stuff!

As y'all may know, I'm a Southern girl. I have lived in Tennessee & now Arkansas.  My family is from the Atlanta area of Georgia. The good ole juicy Georgia peaches are now in season. As a matter of fact, I made a fresh peach cobbler to go with my family's Memorial Day dinner of dry rub smoked ribs, BLT potato salad & deviled eggs.  We keep it southern y'all! ;D I also have an interview on Wednesday so I needed something fresh & light & sweet on my nails.  I chose to use my Essie "A Crewed Interest"...a luminous peach cream.  It's a great professional-looking classy color.  Very in for summer....just like them Georgia peaches!!



 I love my lightbox but sometimes it doesn't capture all I want it to.
Like below, I like how the natural sunlight coming in captured the shininess
and showed more true to life the color of the peach in this polish.




Peach Cobbler

I love all genre's of music...but I grew up on Country. It's in my veins, along with a heavy dose of sweet tea.  To go along with my peachy polish, I had to include "Georgia Peaches" by Lauren Alaina

Have y'all used this Essie color before?? Are you a fan of soft nude-toned peach colors?? Do you like peaches? My mom doesn't like the fuzzy skin but i LOVE peaches.  And in the words of my girl Paula Deen, "Best polishes y'all. From my blog to yours!"
