SWATCH: Avon Nailwear Pro + in Caliente Couture

I'm sorry I've not posted in a while, but I do have a reason....I now have a job! Yay! I had my interview the other day and I had to catch the train there and as I didn't take my laptop, I couldn't blog :( I'm so happy I've got a job though, I start work on the 31st of this month - the day AFTER my birthday!

Anyway, the last post I did a mini Avon haul and I thought I'd show you a swatch of the nail polish and what it looks like! 

The colour is a bright purple from the Nailwear Pro + collection. It has a gloss finish and it's opaque within one coat - however, I always apply two!

I have to apologise for the absolute state of my nails, I didn't think they looked that bad, but the camera seems to have picked out the flaws! My cuticles are a mess and my hands have been dry for the past week or so, so I'll have to make sure they're in a better state for the next nail post!

As you can see the colour is pretty opaque and matches the actual colour within a coat or two. It lasts FOREVER! Normally my nails are great for a day and then they're chipping and looking a mess within a few days, this lasted well over a week in quite a good condition. It was also mixed with the Avon base coat that I got in my mini-Avon haul in my last post!

~ What do you think? Do you own any purple polishes, if so, what's your favourite?

Barry M Nail Polish - Peach Melba

When I first applied this colour, I didn't really like it. I wasn't quite sure whether the colour suited my skin tone, whether it would be a colour that only suited those with a tan. But it's grown on me.

I applied this colour a couple of days ago, and even without a top coat, it doesn't have any chips! So, I'm very pleased at how long this varnish lasts with just two coats!

I also applied it onto my feet, after application, I hated it on my feet. I only ever really paint my toes reds and pinks, and I think the reason I didn't like it was because it wasn't red or pink enough. However, like the colour on my fingernails, it's also grown on me, but I still prefer it on my hands!

The colour is a very bright peach, that is quite orange toned and it's a perfect spring/summer colour and because it's from Barry M - it doesn't break the bank either (I love bargains!)

You can pick this colour up from Boots for £2.99, or alternatively, you can also get it from Superdrug for £2.99  - if you're a student with an NUS card, you can get 10% discount at Superdrug, so you can get it even cheaper at £2.70! - every little penny saved counts!

~ Q: Would you try this colour? What's your favourite summer nail colour, and who's it by?
