It’s currently 6.30pm and it is still light outside. I left the house in a jacket (rather than my enormous winter coat) the other day. It’s apparently going to be 24 degrees in London on Thursday. I’m calling it: spring is finally here! I’m choosing to embrace the new season by updating my manicure and what better way to do that than a clashing spring pastels manicure?
Today I went outside and – for the first time in about two weeks – I didn’t feel like my extremities were going to fall off. It’s a miracle! I’m so ready for spring, but until we get there I’m still embracing the cool tones and colours of winter. So I’ve picked out my Essie favourites for winter/spring – the three colours I go back to time and again to help me through that awkward bit between the dramatic vampy winter shades and the fresh pastels of spring.
A glittery manicure is the easiest way to get into the festive spirit and can add some much needed sparkle to an outfit… but the faff of removing glitter nail varnish can put a lot of people off. Introducing the answer to your spangly nail prayers: SensatioNail Peel-Off polish.
The newest release from Essie is here and if you’re a fan of metallics then you are going to be in heaven… the Essie Galaxy Metal Collection* is chock full of shimmery, glowy metallics and I have them all swatched below.
