Boots 17 Juicy - Imagination In Colour

Boots 17 Juicy

Another of the lovely Boots 17 Spring collection 2012 polishes, and another unique one at that! This one reminds me of tulip stems, it’s almost exactly that colour!

On the left is a close up. I wanted you to see the green shimmer running through this, it’s a few shades darker than the polish itself and mostly shows up as a kind of white-ish reflect, but it definitely doesn’t get lost on the nail. I love the green shimmer, it’s not something I’d have thought would work but it looks gorgeous! Juicy is a limey-yellowy green. It’s one of those colours that won’t work on all skin tones – I think I can just about get away with it, but it will look fab on a darker skin tone. It’s the perfect Spring green, puts me in mind of new shoots coming through and sticky buds and all Springy things 😀 I love it! So unique too! Juicy is a Lasting Fix polish… I have to be honest with you and tell you that I never wear polish long enough to test the wear… sorry! 🙁

Application: 

Juicy was actually sheer – in the pictures I’m wearing three coats and I feel like it could have benefited from a fourth, as the free edge of my nail was still visible in certain lights. The polish also dried quickly so the extra coats shouldn’t be too much of a problem. The finish is a lovely, slightly rubbery one, but the green shimmer gives a wonderful illusion of glossiness. I didn’t wear top coat with this one but I imagine it would make the shimmer really come alive.

What do you guys think? Have you tried Juicy, or Glisten, or the other two polishes in the Spring collection range? At £2.99 per bottle you can’t really beat this, and add in the fact that Boots currently have an offer on all 17 cosmetics at 3 for 2, it’s hard to resist!

I’m really loving the Spring releases this year, it feels like the ‘drugstore’ brands are really starting to push the boat out from the obligatory Spring pastels, which is so nice (I was never much of a pastel person… don’t hate me!). I love the bright colours, it really gets me in the mood for warmer weather. What have you found in terms of Spring releases? 🙂 I really want to see what GOSH and Barry M come up with this year!
