I've never thought of myself as a pastel girl; be that clothes, accessories or indeed nail polish. However, whilst rummaging through my polish stash I came across this pretty lot! These are polishes that I reach for often, whatever the season but as they are particularly relevant now as we head towards the warmer weather, I thought i'd share them with you.
From her Complete Salon Manicure range, this is the perfect creamy vanilla colour. The formula here is slightly on the thinner side so it does take 3-4 coats to build an opaque colour. Once painted though, it gives your nails a fresh, clean look.
Such an apt name for this creamy, milky shade. There is a definite softness in the hue, it's not neon or garish. I recently bought Essie's matte top coat and, for some reason, I can't wait to pair it with this. The formula is quite decent too, and 2 coats are plenty.
Unfortunately, this picture is showing this colour much cooler and pinker than it is in real life. It has a definite apricot-ness while still being soft and pastelly. This would also need a good 2-3 coats to be fully opaque.
Now, I picked this polish up as part of a set from TK Maxx. None of the colours had names on them so I did a good amount of image searching on Google and I think this is Get a Clue from the Alter Ego Collection, it certainly seems closest. This colour lies right, slap bang in-between pink and lavender, depending on the light. It's sheer though, and needs a good 3-4 coats.
Oh, the name! Any kind of macaroon is good in my book! This is one of my most used nail polishes, it just such a flattering, pretty colour. Plus, it looks amazing with a chunky glitter top coat. The formula is excellent for the price, 2 coats is enough.
I didn't get sucked into the blogger hype about these at first, I figured that I always use a top coat anyway so didn't have much need for a super shiny finish. However, it was this particular shade that drew me in; it's a powdery-periwinkle blue and so unlike any other colour I own. I have found that 2 coats of this is enough.
These are all such cheery colours, you can't fail to feel a little bit happy wearing them!
Take care,
