Sunglasses for summer style

It's that time of year again. The sun is shining, temperatures are rising and we've packed away our many layers and heavy coats in exchange for warm weather wears. Depending on where you live, it's easy to feel like looking cute is difficult when your face is literally melting off and you don't want to be bothered with too many accessories. This is where your nails come in to save the day.
They can add a bright pop to a simple tank top and shorts combo or bring about some outside happiness if you're stuck inside for most of a beautiful day. Color schemes with these are crucial, so why not indulge in the hues of West Coast sunsets? Palm trees and sunglasses help accent the paradise feel, even if you wouldn't consider your current location to be a paradise at all.
