Summer Nail Polish Picks

Summer Nail Polish Picks
In less than a week I'm jetting off to the sunny south of France with my family and lovely boyfriend, so am beginning to think about what I'll be taking with me in my suitcase.  To me, holiday nail varnish has to be bright - I love a bold mani/pedi in the sun, it makes your tan appear deeper and I love how it looks!  These are my picks for two weeks of sunbathing, relaxing and eating way too much.
Firstly, the base coat I'll be taking is OPI Nail Envy to keep my nails strong through the chlorine, salt water and heat.  This is without a doubt my all-time favourite base coat, it prolongs my manicures, helps strengthen my nails and persuades them to grow faster.  The top coat of choice is Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri  because I'm pretty sure I won't be fancying waiting around for my nails to dry, and this keeps my nail varnishes chip-free for days.
I've narrowed my slightly too large collection of nail polishes down to five picks for two weeks away.  I absolutely adore the formulation of the Barry M Gelly Nail Paints, and my favourite summery shades are Satsuma, a bright red-toned orange and Greenberry, a bold green/blue colour.  I'm also loving the Topshop nail polishes lately, Awol is a beautiful royal blue and Hedonist is an eye-catching pink that I think will look perfect in the sun.  Lastly, OPI's Golden Eye is a stunning gold shimmer shade which I think will look amazing with a tan, especially on my toes. 
Are you jetting off somewhere sunny this year? What are your nail polish holiday picks?
