another must-have primary color this summer is yellow. essie lead global educator rita remark calls out that this will be a big color this season. “yellow is one of those shades people love to hate and, as an artist, i love to find ways for people to love conflicting colors.” sunshine be mine is a bright sunny yellow nail polish with white undertones. wear this color on its own or pair with other polishes for an energizing, sporty look.
