Coral Me Maybe – Rainbow Series

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s post as much as I did! I’d still love to see any collection posts you’ve done! 🙂 Today it’s the third week of the Rainbow Series. It’s a collaboration between myself and Charlie of Pocket Money Polishes where we both showcase a certain colour each week – this week (after grovelling to Charlie for us to include these colours) it’s peach & coral!

These two colours are funny with my skin tone – they have to be the right shade of peach or coral to work with my tone rather than against it. Hence I don’t have a HUGE amount of them, just a few. Here are my top six:

2True Pro Sequins Christy

Press Sample

Hey lovelies 🙂 I feel like I’m bombarding you with textured effects at the moment… I would be sorry but… I love them!! I feel like nearly every brand now has some out, it’s definitely a long-lasting trend at the moment. As usual many seem to be selling fairly identical colours while others are really pushing the boat out. I have to confess to have fallen for a safe silver though, by the name of 2True Pro Sequins ‘Christy’:

2true Glitterati Shade 6 (Layered)

I was perusing Superdrug at the beginning of this month and spotted this very pretty glitter polish hiding away in the 2true stand… of course I had to buy it! It’s so pretty 🙂 Having been absolutely gutted that I couldn’t find Shade 2 (image at Northern Nails UK) anywhere last Winter, I didn’t want to miss this one which is slightly more pink.

The polish is quite sheer in terms of the base colour so I decided to layer it over Ciaté Pocket Money, which was free in this month’s Marie Claire. I LOVE this combination, it definitely livens up the slightly plain Pocket Money and the two colours really complement each other.

2True Crystal Shade 6

Last Winter, 2True brought out four new Crystal polishes. The Crystal polish range are essentially a set of glassfleck shimmer polishes, all very pretty. 2True have now brought out two more Crystal polishes, in shades 5 and 6. These are more summery – and Shade 6 has an exceptional duochrome!

2true Shade 6 crystal nail polish pink peach orange shimmer gem duochrome mac bad fairy accessorize pink spice dupe summer limited edition uk close up Now, I know what you’re thinking. A MAC Bad Fairy/Accessorize Pink Spice dupe… no. They have the same concept – pink with orange duochrome, but Bad Fairy and Pink Spice share a much deeper cranberry pink tone, while Shade 6 is a lovely peachy pink colour with a hot orange duochrome. There’s even a little purple duochrome in there too, which makes this polish unique. I LOVE IT.

Application:

The photos all show 3 coats. The polish appears very sheer on the first coat but don’t be put off – it builds very quickly. The polish did bubble a little, but I promise promise this wasn’t visible in person, I literally had to run my fingers over my nail surface to find any. I do find the Crystal brushes to be a little on the thick side, making a thin application a little challenging but for this polish it didn’t matter. The polish dried to a fairly high shine, but you may want a topcoat for extra shiny-ness and added longevity. Shade 6 dried relatively quickly, too.

It’s a really interesting colour, the salmony-peachy tone makes it really unique, and the duochrome effect saves it from being a ‘Grandma shade’. What do you think of this? Would you like me to do a side-by-side comparison with Accessorize Pink Spice?

2True cosmetics are sold in Superdrug – everything in their range is £1.99, or you can buy 3 items for £4.99.

2true Shade 47 “Candyfloss Pink”

Candyfloss Pink was apparently inspired by Elie Saab’s SS12 collection. The name is very apt for the colour – a sugary blue-toned pink shimmer polish, I think candyfloss just about fits the bill!

2true Shade 47 Candyfloss Pink blue toned pink creme shimmer silver shimmer glassfleck finish pastel 2012 spring summer sugary pink close up Candyfloss Pink is a gorgeous pink creme with silver glassfleck shimmer – exactly the same finish as 2True Ocean Pearl. You know me – I’m a sucker for glassfleck! Candyfloss Pink is about as girly as one can possibly get when it comes to nail polish, but it has the bonus of making your fingers look lovely and tanned, which is a winner in my books.

Application:

The photos all show 3 coats. The polish applied evenly, but required the 3rd coat just to build up enough pigment to hide the free edge. Candyfloss Pink dried fairly quickly, so the 3rd coat wasn’t really a problem. It dried to a high shine too.

I wanted to mention that this did chip on a couple of fingers in the time that I wore it (2 days), but this was only on my weaker nails (which have a habit of peeling).  Also I’d lost my basecoat on the day I applied it so substituted topcoat which may have caused the chipping… I really don’t know whether it’s down to the polish or my application/nails. Anyways, I did notice that on the nails I then added topcoat to, there was no further chipping soo… sorry for the unreliability of the review! :s

What do you think of this colour? Too pink or is it an acceptable shade for you? At £1.99 in Superdrug you can’t really go too far wrong… or you can buy 3 x 2True products for £4.99.
