Nails Inc - Marylebone Road

Spring green creme  

We've had warmer weather, several days of sunshine and all the trees are in bud so I'm officially calling Spring!  So here's a lovely spring green creme.

Marylebone Road was part of the Picnic Perfect collection in 2014.  It's a light green, not super pastel but not strong either.

As you can see the shade varies depending on the light, looking more pastel or warmer in different conditions.

Application wasn't great - like a lot of pastels this had pretty streaky application and I had to apply 3 coats to get it looking ok

Boots 17 - Glisten

Peach shimmer

And the last of the 17 Spring Collection I picked up is Glisten

Glisten is a peach shimmer packed with golden shimmer that gives it slight foil leanings and a hint of duochrome.

Swatch show is 3 coats with no top coat.

This is a really pretty colour and would look great on toes with a bit of a tan, if the sun ever comes back!

Boots 17 - Juicy

Light bright spring green with turquoise secret shimmer

Juicy is another from the Boots 17 Spring collection

Swatch is 4 coats! with no top coat.  And I still have subtle visible nail line.

Juicy is a pretty spring green with a turquoise secret shimmer which stops it looking too flat.

It's pastel, it's bright and springy, it's Easter bunny, is it opaque? heck no

Ah well, I do like it, it's an unusual green and pretty unique in my collection but 4 coats, really?!

Boots 17 - Mellow Yellow

Banana yellow shimmer

I'm back!  Sorry things have been a bit sparse around these parts but I wasn't back many days after Madrid before I headed off for a 2-day conference in Reading (glamorous huh?!) and then a long weekend in the sunny, warm and rather more fantastic climes of Rome with my beloved.

It was the first time for both of us and we loved it, as is often said Rome truly is an open-air museum.  We're planning to go back and see all the stuff we didn't have time for this time!  Then back to work this week to find myself on a last minute trip to Edinburgh for a customer meeting.  Phew.

And no time for nail polish shopping on any of those trips.....

So here's a polish I picked up a couple of months ago, Mellow Yellow from (Boots) 17

Mellow Yellow is a slightly frosty banana yellow shimmer

Swatch is 3 coats with no top coat and while it's a little brushstrokey, I can live with it!

The colour is so pretty and springlike in the bottle, but so not me on the nails!  I do struggle with the yellows.

So there you have a lovely springy yellow - perhaps it will help bring the spring to the UK?!
