Topshop Firework

Hi everybody 🙂 I’ve been really getting into pastels lately, I think it’s because I’m craving Spring and sun!! Pastels always put me in the mood for springtime and this year is no exception.

I recently picked this bottle of polish up for just £3 in the Topshop sale, I’m not sure whether it’s an ongoing thing or if it’s seasonal, but it’s well worth a look! It was in a separate section from all the regular makeup. I can’t often justify the £6-something Topshop charges for nail polish, but at £3 I am definitely sold!

This polish is really quite sheer so I’ve layered one coat of Firework over 2 coats of Ciaté Sugar Plum. It’s a lilac-tinted base filled with fine silver holographic glitter 🙂 very pretty, and subtle enough that you could wear it to work, as well as being perfect for a gradient with its tinted base.

Application:

I had no issues at all with this nail varnish. It applies evenly, dries quickly and to a nice shine and is very reflective. It would probably take 3-4 coats for full opacity on its own, so it’s a nice versatile polish.

Would I pay £6 for this? Probably not… but on sale, it’s not to be sniffed at! It’s perfect for jazzing up a tired manicure and catches the light beautifully.

I think hunting the sale baskets is in order if you want to find this one in Topshop – let me know if any of you find it! 🙂
