OPI Melon of Troy

Hi everyone, I though as I hadn't done a nail of the day type post for a while I would quickly do one and as the title says it is the OPI Melon of Troy polish.  This wasn't a shade I'd ever heard of really and I pikced it up in Sally's and then found a reduced sticker on the back so that was a bonus!

 

 The shade itself I first wanted to describe it as a brick red coral colour!  I own a few coral polishes and it isn't really like them and I own a coupke of brick reds and it isn't like them so I suppose it is a cross between them!

It took three coats of polish until I was happy with it and I still felt it was a little streaky but I didn't feel another coat would change that!
I have now totally fallen in love with the polish, I feel it really suits my skintone (I am leaning towards the pale side!) and I haven't found a coral type polish that I felt suited me 100% yet but this one does so I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it over the summer!

What's your perfect coral polish?

Rimmel Lycra pro 402 Urban purple

Hi everyone, it's another post about my favourite high street nail polish!!
Urban purple is a plum red shade and has a real purple colour to it in certain lights and I was excited to try it.

I have to be honest with you all, this was one coat!  It is amazingly opaque and I honestly didn't see the need for anymore than one coat as it wasn't sheer in any parts!

It was amazingly glossy too and I love it!

As I've said a million times, these nail polishes are amazing for the price and really last well and I highly recomend them.

Max Factor Fantasy Fire nail polish

Hi everyone, this was a nail polish that I had heard a lot about and mostly of the comparisons to the discountinued Clarins 230 polish.  I have never owned the Clarins one so I cannot comment but this is a very unique polish and one that I'm glad I purchased.

The polish itself looks like a blue purple with multichrome shimmer and can look totally different in different lights so I tried to get a few different shots of the polish for you.

This wasn't very opaque and took 4 coats!  That may seem like too many but the drying speed was so quick that by the time I finished both hands I could immediately start again with another coat so it wasnt bad at all.
I'm going to put up a few different shots for you and hope you can see the depth of colour this polish has.

As you may be able to see in some lights it's very purple, other more pink/purple and then in some the blue comes right out.

Verdict
An amazing polish, love the depth of colour and the multichrome shimmer is very eye catching and mesmirising.  a great polish.

Rimmel Lycra pro Beige babe

Hi everyone, I thought I'd do a quick post as I had a last minute get together on Friday and had to really quickly choose a nail polish and go so I opted for one I haven't worn any more than once that I can remember so I chose Beige babe from the Rimmel Lycra pro range.

This is a nice shade if you are going out on an Autum/Winter evening and I felt it was the last time I would be going for a darker shade this season as I'm so eager to use brighter colours so it was a good chance to try this shade again.

I used two coats as I didn't have too long before I had to go but it is a quite opaque polish so I easily got away with it.

As I have mentioned before this range of polishes are pretty opaque and have good staying power and even though I'm always on the go these don't tend to chip for at least a couple of days and the finished look is normally very glossy and professional looking.

Rimmel pro Coral Romance

Hi everyone, as I have said many times before the Rimmel pro are by far my favourite high street polishes and I love them soooo much!  I was going out this weekend and fancied something a bit brighter as I'm trying to persuade spring to come!  So I opted for one of my most used shades of last year and that was Coral Romance.

This is a red toned coral colour and I adore it.  I tried to photograph it in a few lights for you to give you a better idea of the shade but the below image is fairly true to the shade.

I love how this shade is more red than orange coral as it suits most skintones whereas orangy corals don't tend to suit my more English rose complexion!!
