Spring Top 5 | Nails

Much like lips - a pretty obvious way to easily switch up your looks is via your digits. Spring is probably the easiest way for me to embrace pastel shades as I can never seem to find the right shade of mint knitwear...

Lilac Charm

I only had one lilac shade - a quite pretty shade from the Essie Summer 2013 collection called 'Full Steam Ahead' and it's pretty similar to this shade that I picked up from Fragrance Direct recently; the Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Lilac Charm. 

There is a subtle difference however; which has me rocking this shade as a nice season transition colour - it has a grey-ish undertone that makes it just off-pastel, so a pretty September shade for when it's starting to come in cooler - but the sun can crop out and surprise you with a random heatwave. 

The wear time on this polish is awesome; no chips for six days and counting and the only issue I've encountered is when my nails are growing and my half-moons start cheekily peeking through. 

For 99p this was a pretty lush bargain - and one I'll be wearing throughout the tricky transition from summer to autumn.

Have you tried this nail colour? 

Peace!
