Summer is here, and it’s time to update your mani/pedi colour collection.
From coral to metallic, sunshine yellow and statement red, we’ve rounded up our favourite nail polishes of the season.
A splash of sunny colour, coral adds a summer lift to any outfit. Perfect with a tan or simply for brightening up your mood, this polish is infused with avocado and borage oils. Nourishing and glossy, sweep some long-lasting colour across both fingers and toes. Part of their new summer nail colour collection, Mavala’s Red River shade offers sumptuous glamour. Other offerings within the range include; Purple Beach, Pink City and Blue Mountains, each showcasing seasonal brights. We also love the size of this Mavala number, perfect for popping in your bag and topping up on travels. Of all the at-home gel polish kits, Red Carpet Manicure is most definitely a favourite. With an incredible range of colours and extra easy application process, you really can’t go wrong. After a winter of darker hues, we’re embracing summer and wearing Sun Kiss & Tell. A gorgeous pop of pink, this colour conjures up images of cocktails, holiday sunsets and beach getaways. Part of Red Carpet Manicure’s Escape to Paradise collection, the colour leaves a vivid, glossy effect and has serious staying put power. Found exclusively at Superdrug, Mark on Miami is a vibrant orange from Essie’s limited edition Neon 2017 Collection. Also featuring Gallery Gal, Off The Wall and The Fuschia of Art, these shades comprise purple, coral and pink. Inspired by Miami graffiti, the loud colours have been infused with bright pigment to avoid any fading. Taking you from festivals to parties, the beach to bar, we love these lively lovelies. OPI recently introduced their latest summer line, the FIJI Collection, tapping into tonal brights and on-trend summer colours. Within this range, we love the sunny yellow Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet. A sunny shade, radiating summer vibes, it won’t fail to bring glamorous cheer to your beauty day. Blues are definitely having a beauty moment, and Gotta Have Hue ticks this box with stunning nail shade style. A glorious, dazzling blue tone, Morgan Taylor nail polishes were originally made for professional use. Clearly knowing a thing or two about nail colour, their collection covers a whole host of nail products. Sally Hansen is the go-to range for nail repair, boasting a number of brilliant products such as Nailgrowth Miracle and Nail Rehab. In addition to these strengtheners, polishes include the Color Therapy collection. Forever metallic fans, we love the gentle almost rose gold effect of this shade. Gliding easily onto nails, it is a twist on your classic neutral and adds some much-needed glamour to mani/pedi proceedings. Part of Essie’s limited edition Resort 2017 Collection, snap up Sorrento Yourself exclusively at Boots. Also currently within their 3 for 2 range, explore the rest of the colours, including Ciao Effect, Resort Romanza and Strike a Positano. Inspired by the glorious Italian Coast, shades signify style and elegance in abundance. Rimmel nail polish will always be at the top of our list, due to their brilliant colour collection, perfect brush shape and long-lasting colour. So we were thrilled to sample their Super Gel selection, including the gorgeous Purple Splash. A two step process comprising a gel top coat too, nail colour is shiny, glossy and luxurious. If you’re looking for that gel effect minus a UV lamp, this is definitely the range for you.
