Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2018

Seeing as the Summer Solstice is just around the corner I thought I should share my top summer polishes for 2018. If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

 A England - Puck A Fairy // Barry M - Passion Fruit // KPT - Color Therapy // Color Club - Mrs Robinson // Barry M - Bronze Bae

A England - Puck A Fairy - This is a stunningly vivid teal holographic polish, in the sun light it really does pop.

Barry M - Passion Fruit - A bright red which leans slightly orange based, would look good with a tan.

KPT - Color Therapy - In the swatch above I used this over white and I think that it really does pop and look more summery over a white rather than the black as shown below.

Color Club - Mrs Robinson - A jelly neon purple polish, these is something about the sun and wearing a neon polish.

Barry M - Bronze Bae - A metallic polish which is gold based, another one which would look good with a tan. Or of course if you are a professional sun dodger like me, works well without a tan too!

Review: Born Pretty Store - Dual Ended Nail Picker Wax Pen*

This is a duel ended tool, the colour is purple to white gradient, it also comes in three other different colour ways.

It is 126mm in length, so around average pen length.

One end of the tool is a wax nib which is perfect for picking up little nail gems and other small otherwise tricky accessories.

I usually use a set of tweezers to apply rhinestones, however sometimes the gems ping off when I squeeze the tweezers too hard. Also I have been known to smudge the polish with the tweezers.

Picking up a rhinestone with the wax end is so easy, they almost stick to the tip but not too much that they don't transfer from the tool to the nail easily.

The other end of the tool is designed to pick up a small bead of blue tack and then using that you can pick up small nail art accessories.

Overall this is a really useful nail tool, makes placement so much accurate. Also seems to have made me wear studded items more often!

 

I have used this tool to pick up rhinestones and small nail accessories in these nails;
