The nail colours that our editors are obsessed with

When it comes to nail polish, I find that there are two types of polish wearers. The first type has one shade of nail polish that they like to wear all year round. The second type prefers to change it up depending on their mood, the weather or the latest trends. I used to be the first type and never swayed from my favourite shade (OPI Nail Lacquer in Funny Bunny). But these days, I’ve morphed into the second type of girl and like to mix it up whenever I can! Now, when I see nail colours that I like on someone's digits, I can’t help but ask what polish they’re wearing so that I can try it out for myself.
