Gina Tricot - Shimmermint

Tweet

Good afternoon lovelies!

Today I have a really cool polish to show you from Gina Tricot.

Gina Tricot is a Swedish based website, offering fashion, accessories and some beauty products. I had been speaking to a friend of mine who lives in Sweden and had been told about this site, and it's nail polishes!

So we here go - I will show you the first of three polishes I purchased from this site; Shimmermint.

Shimmermint is a pastel mint colour with a gorgeous silver/golden shimmer inside. It's really a fabulous polish to take from day to night, as it has a subtley to it that allows it to be worn in both casual and social situations!

I used two coats for this polish, it has a thick consistency which made it quite opaque but you do need to be careful to allow drying time between coats, so as not to get mounds of it on the edges of your nails!

Polishes are €3.95 each or 3 for €9.95. I used Parcel Motel to ship to a UK address! I love this polish! 

Essie Madison Ave hue

Howdy readers! I am holed up this week with a bad throat infection so it is possible that I will be posting lots of blog posts due to being stuck to my couch!

I have today, on this Wednesday, a beautiful pink from Essie's Madison Ave-hue Spring Collection 2013, Madison Ave hue itself. 

This gorgeous pink has a silver shimmer and it's so girly and pretty, it makes you happy inside!

Having had issues with streaky polishes from Essie in the past, I was a bit apprehensive of this one but it's a beaut - 2 coats for opacity and it shimmers and sparkles in the sunlight. It wore really well with my Essence base/top coat combo for a week with minimal tip wear. I think this one will be a go-to for me this summer!

Colores de Carol April Fools

Good morning lovely readers!

I am feeling the the heat today, we have sunshine and it really makes you jump out of bed, and look forward to your day!

I have another gorgeous polish from Colores de Carol to show you today; April Fools. This is a white jelly base with multi coloured square glitters and this really subtle shimmer, that makes it so unique compared to other white based indies out there.

I adore this polish becuase it can be worn with anything. It's nude enough yet colourful enough to match any outfit!

I used three coats for this one, and think I'd use it over a pure white base next time, or even pink!
