Overview | Top Spring/ Summer Nail Colours

-
It's getting to that time of the year when things are starting to heat up and this really excites me. 

Without fail I have a small selection of nails colours that I have on rotation throughout the warmer months that I love wearing (plus all year round). So as a new post, I thought I'd show you some of my favourite picks for the Spring/ Summer seasons.

L-R: OPI Bubble Bath, Your Such A Budapest, Dating A Royal,  Pink Flamenco

I don't know about you but I love bright colours during summer, playing off the heat and excitement that comes with the months. So a vivid pink like OPI's Pink Flamenco shown here is a fun, girly way to add some colour. I also love a tomato red or even an orange red colour but I finished up those bottles last year, so a fresh new one will have to be purchased soon.

Now not all summer colour shave to be girly. Another bright colour is a citrus colour like yellow or orange. I have these colours that I'll be cracking out of the first time this summer! Also a nice royal blue like the Dating A Royal colour shown above. Not a navy and not a sky blue, a royal blue adds that hint of sexiness and suductiveness in the deep tones yet has this bright, fresh and sophisticated feel to it. At least thats what I think when I see it.

On the other spectrum, the soft pastel colours are lovely in the Spring. Think of your mints, lavenders, baby blue colours. Your Such A Budapest colour above, is a new purchase from last year and honestly Im not sure how my nail collection lived without it. I know dramatic. Im boring in the sense I typically only like sold nail colours, nothing with shimmer or dual chrome. I do own Teenage Dream which I absolutely love, but that stetting off topic. Your Such A Budapest has this ultra fine silver glitter in it that can only be seen up close. So when this catches the sun light, it such has this pretty glow.

These soft colours reflect the soft and gentle weather and the easy, breezy social nature of the season. Which is why the nude/ beige colours fit in here. I think that they look chic year round but Bubble Bath is a natural beige pink colour that is sheer enough to have that soft look. A mint colour is something that I would love to get my hands on soon.

Again this is just my opinion. I'm not the one to restrict colours to certain seasons, I wear whatever my mood depicts.  However I do know I tend to grab for the same colours more in the cooler and warmer seasons.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
