This tropical nail polish from Essie is a coral-pink with a gold sheen. It is called Funships. By all accounts (the name included), it shouldn’t work, but somehow does.

It reminds me of colors I wore in middle school, but in the best possible way. I personally think it will look lovely in flat, lace-up sandals or streamlined slides. So, right now, I’m popping it on my toes and dreaming of sandy beaches (even though there is not a grain of sand in my future.)

Also, the background photo is from Gray Malin’s coffee table book Beaches. It is beautiful and you need it for your house.
