My 8 Favourite Spring Polishes

Hi guys . Happy Wednesday . How has your week been ?? Now that it's finally getting a little warmer here in South Africa , I decided to share my 8 favourite nail polishes I love reaching for once the weather warms up a bit. Pastels are usually very popular year round - but especially in Spring time when you want some fun brighter colours to wear on your nails and get you ready for the new season . Although let's be real pastel nail polishes are cute year round. Picture Polish Beige This has been a firm staple in my collection. Although Picture Polish is a pricier brand - the polishes wear amazingly well and has a great wear time. Beige is the perfect nude colour for my skin tone - feeling soft and feminine while providing a small pop of colour on the nails.  CATRICE Donut Worry be Happy !

Woolworths JTOne Pretty Paint in #Princess and #MintyFresh

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . I've been recovering from a bout of food poisoning after the weekend , so I'm only coming round to blogging again today. How has your week been so far ? Hopefully a lot better. A little while back Woolworths had a beauty sale , and I decided to pick up a few goodies to try out. I got two of the JTOne polishes as well as the Woolworths Setting Spray. The polishes are pretty affordable and has a great range of colours - and for a change I decided to pick something besides a nude to try. I got two of the more pastel colours in the range - a minty green and a light pink - the colours are GORGEOUS and totally spring appropriate. So onto the two colours I got. JTOne #MintyFresh Pretty Paint I'm always a fan of gorgeous minty polishes that has the perfect colour - I don't like too green minty polishes but also not minty polishes that border too close to a white polish. This is the perfect mix. I used two coats to get it fully opaque - and...

Avon BB 7-1 Nail Colour

Hi guys ! Happy Monday - sorry for the lack of posts lately has been a little crazy at the moment , but hopefully I will have some more time to sit down and write the posts from today. Avon has launched 4 new BB 7-1 Nail polishes - all being gorgeous soft nudes and pastel colours - perfect for those of us who can't wear super crazy nail polish colours to work.  The benefits of these polishes are : Creamy, flawless colour Built-in base coat Increases nail strength UV filter to prevent yellowing Smooth nail ridges Protect nails Covers imperfections My overall thoughts on both these polishes after testing them for about a month - The first coat was a little streaky but the second coat smoothed it out perfectly. I didn't use a base coat when I wore these polishes - and I do find that it does smooth out your nails and covers minor nail imperfections - but on me it started chipping on day 4. I do feel my nails feel a little stronger when I' wearing this polish - ...
