For years now I've tried to keep my nails perfectly filed, impeccably chip free and above all fabulously polished! So one day I thought to myself...hang on a second?? After whiling away the hours absorbing all the latest nail trends from the likes of Scrangie, All Lacquered Up, Lacquerized and so many more, why don't I try writing my own blog? With my coloured skin and penchant for all polishes weird and wonderful, maybe I could hit a real niche here right? So with a bit of time on my hands, and polish on my nails (of course)...here it is! My first real blog! So enjoy and please don't be shy on suggestions, I am a newbie to this blogging thing after all!!!

I Can Paint a Rainbow...

F is for Fuchsia...

The ultimate 'happy' colour, a fuchsia pink is sure to brighten up anyones day! Although you may think that this colour should be reserved for the under 16s only, I can assure you that it can look as classy and elegant as any other. I have to admit that I do have to be in the mood to wear fuchsia, and this is often during the peak of summer, because it can be quite difficult to coordinate an outfit around (admittedly due to my lack of brightly coloured clothing), however once on there really is no colour more fun!


Bourjois Fuchsia Hype

You may be tempted to label this a red rather than a fuchsia, but it does have a hot pink undertone which I believe earns its place among the others. It is a rich creme polish with no shimmer, and this feature is what keeps them out
of teen territory!

 This one is more demure and less sharp than the Bourjois polish, so perhaps a good way to ease yourself into this colour palette. 
It applies beautifully and lasts for days, what more could you want?





 

Topshop Nails Paint It On

This was one of the first Topshop polishes I bought and so it is quite old and no longer the smoothest to apply. However I think it is unique from the other two in that it contains more of a magenta hue, that places it firmly in the jewel tone colour category!

This one is definitely more of a bubblegum pink! The shimmer adds depth but is noticeable so it is quite a youthful colour and can be quite tricky to pull off, but it is the epitomy of a pure fuchsia pink! 





 


Nails Inc Montrose Place

 This one is more of a pearlescent polish with a slightly cooler tone to the other Nails Inc polish. Due to its pearly finish, the shimmer is very visible which can make it appear slightly cheap looking. Not my favourite but that is simply down to      personal preference.

In my opinion, saving the best till last, this is a true vivid fuchsia pink. I love the fact that it sparkles without a trace of shimmer. Definitely one of the highlights of my Nails Inc Mini collection!
