If any of you can get through the summer without shelling out cash on fruity beauty products, please tell me how it's done, because I'm really a sucker for this stuff. First, I was salivating over Bare Escentuals Fruit Smoothies eye shadow collection, and now, I'm ready to pounce on this season's fruit-punch nail color trend.
Style.com recently declared Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Orange Blossom ($18) one of its perfect summer polishes, and now I'm finding it difficult to live without this tropical-melon tone. At the spa last week, I saw a woman getting a pedicure with this polish, and it's just as beautiful on nails as it is in the bottle.
For three more nail polishes that pack a fruity punch, read more.
Zoya Smitten Summer 2007 Nail Polish in Sylvie ($5.50) is a yummy guava shade with an iridescent finish and a tiny bit of sparkle.
OPI Classics Nail Lacquer in Strawberry Margarita ($7.50) is a pinker shade that's almost perfect, except that it makes me want a strawberry margarita. Or a daiquiri. I'm not particular.
Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Coral Reef ($18) is a magenta-raspberry shade with an ultra-shiny finish. These are great polishes that last a long time without chipping.

Fun!
1I could definitely use this.
2I love these!
3i adore these colors! can't wait to break out the bright polishes!
4I love the OPI color. I got that one on my toes last time I got a pedicure. Another good summer color is Sally Hansen in Ruby Stilletto. It is bright pink with sparkles.
5I have the OPI color and it's fabulous!
6I've seen the OPI Strawberry Margarita shade on a girl at the nail salon last July. It was so PINK it looked like a color Barbie would wear. But I liked it
7I like it, but think I like the "white hot" look better!
8I bought the Orange Blossom last summer and I still love it. Its the perfect summer shade.
9Essie's California Coral is my summer color! (I switched to OPI Charged Up Cherry this week, but I miss my bright coral nails!)
10i love bright summer colors
11This color is too '80's for me. I like to stick to french.
12Wow, Chanel always has some of the most gorgeous colors ever!
I always wear the last color mentioned above on my toes...need a change. Thanks for the redommendations!
13Oh I love the Chanel color!!!
14I had my toes painted this color last week. Only mine came from Wet & Wild brand 'Wild Shine' in 'Blaze' for under $1.99. Everyone comments on it.
15Wet & Wild is fab! It's cheap but has some quality!
16OPI is good...Wet & Wild is pretty darn good..especially when you are just usuing these colors for a season
17Ooh I love these! I will have to get myself one of these colours as a treat when I go shopping on Thursday.
18great color!
19I actually stocked up on Orange Blossom! I love that color!
I need to hunt down the Zoya now for my toes! It looks as though it is a gorgeous color.
20I would put on my toes. But too bright for my hands
21i love 0PI nail polish
22I'm pretty sure I have one of these colors in my extensive nail polish collection, making a mental note to wear this shade in the near feature.
23Chanel looks good
24Cute colors.I like the strawberry margarita.

26Ooh, bright and absolutely tempting.
27Good for the weekend, maybe bad for work.
28I love the Chanel one, very summery
29that Chanel polish is different and fun, the other colors have to much pop for me (reminds me of Wet'n'Wild colors of the 80's)
30love love love the orange blossom color. too bad i won't spend $20 on a bottle of nail polish!
31ok on second thought....that chanel color is really calling to me....i may just have to suck it up and get it.
32i have orange blossom and it is an awesome color. not too bright - great for summer (perfect with a tan)!
33Chanel is really yammy and funny.. I want that!
34i just took the strawberry margarita one off my toes!! loved it. and i've been wanting to pick up the chanel one too (when i have a spare 20 bucks lol)

36Yep, I want these.
37I wanna have Chanel one. so cute.
38I've been looking for a nailvarnish the colour of the Chanel one for ages. If I don't stumble across one soon, I might just have to shell out...
