It seems that Spring has finally sprung in London!
Dance around and celebrate because what feels like the longest winter ever is on its way out! So as a salute to Spring and to going out without a coat on I painted my nails. (Wild child to the core) I love pastel shades when the sun is shining and I picked my two favourite shades for Spring to show you:
The green shade is Seven Dials from Nails Inc. Nails Inc are my favourite makers of nail polish – the formula is just stunning! With two coats you get a perfectly smooth, shiny and glossy nail, which once completed with a top and base coat will last for about a week without chipping – perfect to wear during the working week! Nails Inc have a huge range of colours and effects available on their website and they often have sales and offers popping up – for example this week you could get 7 lucky dip nail polishes for ยฃ18 – bargain! So if you haven’t checked out Nails Inc I would highly recommend it!
The lilac shade is Parma Violet from Topshop. Topshop make up is great – I love it all but the nail varnishes are brilliant. At only ยฃ5 each they are super cheap. They don’t last as long as the Nails Inc ones and I needed three coats of the lilac to match up to the vibrant pastel green. However, the selection of shades is brilliant and perfect for polish you only need on for a few days. Check them out on the Topshop website.
As for my top coat and base coat I use Save the Nail and Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri which is AMAZING! Such a good top coat – I cannot recommend it enough. It makes your nails look like they’ve been professionally done and, as the name suggests, it dries so quickly!

I love pastels for nail polish! I have a lilac that I’ve been using obsessively, but really really want a coral colour and maybe a mint as well ๐ xx
I’m looking for a really pale mint too at the minute – think I’m going to try Essie for it, they do a lot of pastels! ๐
Never heard of it! I’ll check it out now. Any chance they sell online? Living abroad
