Top 5 Spring/Summer Nail Polishes

Spring is approaching and I have to admit, it's getting me a bit excited, as sad as I am! I love Spring mornings, the lighter nights and the fact that it's not too cold or too hot. Fewer layers are needed, I can lose the scarf and my denim jacket can make its annual appearance from the back of my wardrobe! I know that Spring weather shouldn't start to appear until another month or so, but SO WHAT I can't wait, okay?! ;-)

I thought I would do my first Spring post about my top five Spring/Summer nail varnishes. I recently picked up the latest issue of Cosmopolitan and pastels are definitely in this season, so I've mainly included pastel-coloured nail varnishes in my top five.

My first pick is a popular brand of nail polish; Barry M Nail Paint. The collection of colours to choose from and nicely packaged bottles really stand out in Boots and I've chosen "Strawberry Ice-Cream" as one of my favourite shades for Spring (plus ice cream is a lovely Summer treat!)  It's a pastel, baby pink colour and looks very elegant and pretty. 


























Next up is a polish by Maybelline in the colour 'Ceramic Blue'. I love this shade as it resembles the sky on a clear, sunny day. It's very pretty and it's supposed to last up to seven days! It's a perfect colour for Spring and it will definitely brighten up your outfit.


I've also picked 'Mint Green' by Barry M, which again is a lovely pastel, light green. I love the way in which these colours stand out and they would really compliment a gorgeous Spring outfit.


Adding to the selection of pastels is 'Charming' by Revlon, which is a beautiful, lilac colour (some unnecessary information, but I used to have my room painted this colour! Does anyone remember Groovy Chick?! Haha!) I like the quality of Revlon nail polishes, so I might purchase a few more colours from this brand.

The final colour I've chosen is an old favourite, 'Fuchsia' by Barry M. This colour is different compared to the others as it's more of a bold, 'Barbie' pink rather than a pastel colour, but who doesn't love wearing bold colours in the Summer months?! (Not me!)


What's your favourite nail polish brand and shade for Spring/Summer?

Thanks for reading!
