I’m not really one for choosing my nail polish colour depending on
the season. In fact I’ll rock pastels well into December and deep reds until
June. However this is slowly beginning to change and the past few weeks I’ve only been reaching
for the brights. For today’s post I thought I’d show you what I’ve been
sporting on my nails recently and the colours I’ll probably be wearing all
summer long.
First up we have NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish in Raindrop, which is a gorgeous sky blue shade. The formula of this colour is
great and very long-lasting with a decent topcoat. At £1.99 from Boots
and Superdrug it’s also an absolute bargain!
Next up is a Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in
the colour Guava. I’m always slightly confused
by Barry M’s choice of names as I often find they never match the shade and
this is no exception. However I love this turquoise colour and it’s the one
I’ve been reaching for the most.
Models Own is a nail
polish brand that can do no wrong in my eyes; cheap with a fantastic colour
range, these polishes make up the bulk of my collection. This one is Bubblegum; a
beautiful neon pink, similar to the colour of a highlighter. The formula is
semi-matte and you only really need one coat. This would look great with a tan,
something I’m not blessed with unfortunately…
My fourth pick is yet another Barry M Gel
Polish, this time in Papaya. Again this pastel orange
would look great with a tan. The formula of the Barry M gels are some of the
best the drugstore has to offer, and the range has a fabulous array
of colours.
Last but not least is one of my all time favourite shades: Essie's Splash of Grenadine. I haven’t come across many dupes for
this gorgeous purple/pink shade and it’s one I rock all year round but feel
like it still needed a mention as a summer favourite. The only down side for me
is that I’m going to be controversial and say I don’t really like
Essie’s formula because I find them far too gloopy. However, the colour of
this is so beautiful I usually overlook this.
What are your favourite nail polishes for Summer?
Such lovely colors! Thanks for sharing!

I just adore Essie's colours, but Barry M are a good cheaper alternative for sure!

I need to try that NYC polish - I'm loving powder blue at the moment and am currently obsessed with Barry M 'Huckleberry', but it looks a tad too turquoise for my liking and I'm still on the hunt for the perfect blue. They're so affordable, also!
