Spring Nail Colours

Essie, Ciate and Barry M are my favourite nail polish brands at the moment so I thought I'd share my favourite Spring colours from my already over flowing collection. I have literally tons of nail polishes, far more than any one girl would ever need! I could have included far more colours but I managed to cut it down and these ones I've picked are my absolute favourites that I wore all through last Spring/Summer and will continue to do so this year too. 

Each year Spring comes around I really look forward to being able to start wearing gorgeous, bright colours. Don't get me wrong I love wearing rich, jewel toned polishes for Autumn/Winter but I just love pretty pastel shades even more. Who can resist a baby blue or a dusky lilac adorning your fingertips? Not me! 

// Ciate Ferris Wheel £9.00 // Ciate Kiss Chase £9.00 //

// Essie Mint Candy Apple £7.99 // Essie E-nuf Is E-Nuf £7.99 //

 

// Barry M Gelly Blueberry £3.99 // Barry M Gelly Prickly Pear £3.99 //

I'm supposed to be staying away from nail polish for a few weeks to let my nails breathe as they're really not in the best condition at the moment. I think having the central heating on every day since October has really dried them out and they're all flaky, if anyone knows how I can fix this then please let me know! I still can't help myself from painting them though, it's a little relaxing hobby I get to do every few days plus it gives me an excuse to sit and do nothing for an hour afterwards. (I'm sure those that know me would say I don't need an excuse however!)

I'd love some recommendations for more affordable nail polish brands (besides Barry M) or even of any shades you think I might like so if you have any, make sure to let me know in the comments below.

Current Favourite Nail Polish

I'm in love with this colour 'e-nuf is e-nuf'' from Essie, a creamy pink, coral colour perfect for the summer months. I bought it whilst in the US as Essie polishes are much cheaper there than at home. Put it this way I paid $8.00 whereas in the UK I'd pay £7.99 (about $12.00!) The colour is opaque with one coat although I applied two for durability and I was little disappointed that it chipped on the first day of wear even with a top coat. However I don't think I've ever loved a colour this much so I'm gonna over look that. I feel like it's one I could wear all year round and I'm really not sure what I'm going to do when it runs out! If anyone knows where I can get Essie nail polished for cheaper in the UK please let me know!  

Summer Nail Colours

Summer has to be my favourite time make up wise because we finally get to come out of the dark and start wearing more colour. Everything and everyone becomes brighter and more cheerful and its reflected in the make up and clothes we wear. You'll hardly ever find me with unpainted nails, in fact my sister always notices when they're not painted and asks me what's wrong! These are the nail colours I'll be reaching for the most this summer and I have to say there's a real selection colour wise. The cooler pastel colours suit our cool English summer perfectly and the rich orange will look amazing with a tan on holiday.
