My Top Nail Picks For Spring 2014

So I thought I would talk to you today about some of my favourite spring nail polishes. I think spring is the best time of year for nail colours, it’s a bit of an ‘in between’ season here in the U.K and even though it might seem close to summer it doesn’t always feel it! Nail polish is a fun way to just add a pop of colour to your look without feeling overdone!

Just as a side note the pictures show two coats of each polish and I’ve found all of them stay pretty much chip free for around 4/5 days (except the models own polish which I’ve only worn a handful of times so I can’t judge the lasting power yet!

1. Look Beauty Nail Pop ‘Juice’ £5 I’m a big fan of the Nail Pop’s from Look Beauty, this is a neon yet warm toned orange shade which looks amazing against all skintones! 

2. Essie ‘Not Just A Pretty Face’ £7.99 This is a beautiful pink toned nude, I think it’s a great classic colour to have in your collection and it looks especially beautiful when it catches the light!

3. Kate Moss for Rimmel ‘Hip Hop’ £4.49 I love love love this red! It’s an orangey-red which is just a really modern way to wear red nails, I wore it to death last year!

4. Barry M Gelly Hi Shine ‘Lychee’ £3.99 A creamy nude that looks really nice against pale skintones, it has a high shine finish too which looks lovely for spring. 

5. Look Beauty Nail Pop ‘It’s Mint’ £5 (currently £3.79!) f.y.i this isn’t mint at all; it’s the perfect sky blue and my absolute favourite polish, the colour is unlike any other I own and I especially like this on my toes!

6. Topshop Nails ‘Mannequin’ £5  this is quite a warm toned nude, I usually wear it when I have a little bit of a (fake) tan but it looks really pretty on and almost has a hint of peach in it.

7. Look Beauty Nail Pop ‘Ribbon’ £5 (currently £3.79!) This is a really pretty dusky rose shade, I like it because I’m not massively into pink nails but this feels like a grown up version and it would look really pretty against all skin-tones.

8. Topshop Nail Polish ‘Gone Fishing’ £5 This is a really pretty mint, it’s creamy and quite bright sitting bang in the middle of minty green and minty blue, it’s one of my go to shades.

9. MUA Strawberry Crush £1 It blows my mind that this is just £1! A beautiful creamy pink that’s not too bright and not too dark- it’s a goldilocks sort of polish!

10. Models Own Hyper Gel ‘Cornflower Gleam’ £5 This is one of the new Models Own Hyper Gel polishes which are very similar to the Barry M Hi Shines, this shade is a beautiful cornflower blue which almost looks a little lilac in some lights.

11. MUA Nail Polish ‘Lush Lilac’ £1 If you only pick one polish up for spring make it this one! Seriously it’s only a pound but it’s just the most beautiful white-lilac shade, it’s probably one of my favourite polishes of all time!

12. Look Beauty Nail Pop ‘Flamingo’ £5 If you’ve been looking for a beautiful coral nail polish then this is (in my opinion of course!) one of the best corals out there, it’s almost a neon shade and if they made this exact shade in a blush I would buy 100 of them!
