The Hottest Nail Polish Colors For Your Summer Clutch

While our fashion friends ogle the bags in street style photos, we're astounded by the awesome nail polish selections (Fendi: OK, cool; Essie: OMFG!). These close-up clutch shots offer the best inspiration for your next Summer nail appointment. If you've bought a kooky fur clutch, then maybe a nude shade is best. Got a sleek, black bag for your next formal event? Bring out the crimson lacquer. There are several combinations below worth trying out this season, but first we're going to have to increase our handbag budget . . .
