My Favourite Pink Nail Polishes & Summer Picks

 

Hi Ladies. With Summer basically upon us, (not that you would know it with the rubbish weather in the UK) I thought I would show you my favourite pink nail varnishes that are also great picks for those warmer days when you are looking for a pop of colour on your nails.

 

Sinful Colours- Orange Cream

When in my local Boots, I was originally looking for Barry M Peach Melba; for some reason all Barry M nail polishes were out of stock, something to do with a faulty batch. So the next brand I immediately looked at was Sinful Colours. I found a colour almost identical to Peach Melba and bought it without hesitation. The formula is lovely, and I wore it for three days without a top coat and it didn't chip at all!

 

OPI- It's All Greek To Me

I bought this in Target in Florida, (sighs longingly) and wore it nearly everyday whilst I was there. It is the most gorgeous pink. One coat is enough for an opaque covering. The photo above doesn't really do it justice as it is so much prettier in person. I highly recommend this polish, not just for the colour, but the formula and finish is bar none.

 

Essie- Fiji

I managed to grab this on my Boots advantage card. It is a classic, effortless colour and is so easy to pull off. It compliments almost all skin tones and is the perfect nude without being to white. It looks very elegant too.

 

Barry M- Flamingo

Flamingo is a bright coral- pink. Again, it is very flattering, and for £2.99 you can't really go wrong. It is one of my go-to summer colours that I rely on again and again for a bright pop of colour on my nails. The formula is alright, once you try higher end nail varnishes, Barry M doesn't seem like the be all and end all, like it use to in my very early teens. But as I said, for the money, it's great!

 

Models Own- Soda Pop Pink

I bought this at The Clothes Show back in December for around £2 on a whim, and had never used it until about 3 months ago. I would describe it as a dusty rose pink colour. Different to your usual pastel pink- just slightly darker. I think its a little more subtle as its not as bright as in your face as some baby pinks. The formula is again alright with this, and it smells pretty awful, but I paid a minimal price for it, so I really can't complain!

 

What are your favourite nail polishes for Summer?

Wednesday Wishlist #11

 

1. Republic Crafted Studded Slippers- I saw these in Republic the other week. I had my eye on a pair similar ages ago, but never got round to getting them. I love the colour of these, and as they are neutral, they will go with anything, and the studs will really dress up a simple outfit.

RRP: £25

 

2. GOSH Holographic Nail Varnish- I never bought this polish when it was at the top of its peak, but I am ecstatic to find out that its being relaunched! It will be the perfect holiday polish for me, and I cant wait to get it! Imagine how it will sparkle in the Florida sun!

RRP: £4.99

 

3. MAC Lipstick in Impassioned- After watching MacBarbie07's Cher Lloyd tutorial again, I really liked the look of MAC Impassioned; a shade I've never given much thought to. It looks amazing on and I think it would be great for holiday!

RRP: £13.50

 

4. New Look Black Scalloped Collared Shell Top- This really caught my eye on the New Look Website it looks so stunning, but is really simple. It will be lovely for winter with a wooly cardy, but as a dressy top in summer too!

RRP: £14.99

 

5. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette- I own the Original Naked Palette, and they are probably my most loved and most used eyeshadows! (Although my MAC Palette is a very close second)! I'm starting to hit pan on a few of the shades, and I think I might invest in the Naked 2. (And it has my favourite colour Half Baked in it)! The Palette consists of a range of warmer toned colours, so perfect for winter and the festive months!

RRP: £35

 

6. Zara Dog Print Top- I tried this top on in Zara, but it was a little too small, and they didn't have the size up. It is so sweet, with little french bulldogs on and understated studs on the shoulders. It is a really flattering cut, and comes in two colours- mint green and cream.

RRP: £22.99

In the past, I've made a few wishlists, but never got round to keeping them up, but after reading my fair share of wishlists today, I thought it was about time I started making them myself!

1. Topshop Moto Zip Hem Neon 7th/8th Jeans- These will be just perfect for summer! Knowing British weather, I dont know how much sun my shorts (or legs!) will see, so these quarter legth bright pink jeans will be perfect for those days when your torn between your winter jeans and your hotpants!

3. Topshop Sleeveless Peplum Top in Magenta- Peplum tops and dresses are everywhere. Celebrities worldwide are sporting them, as they claim, to create the illusion of a smaller waist. I've seen this particular top on a few people now, and it looks really flattering on.

4. Look Triple Hit Trio Eye Shadow in La Luxe- I know I'm a bit late on the badwago here, I remember whe reviews for this palete were everywhere, but I never really paid much attetion to it. But when I was in Birmingham, I came across my first Look counter, and swatched these eyeshadows out of curiosity, and I fell in love! The pigmentation is amazing, and the three colours are so pretty!
