Nail of the Day - Coral Nail Polish Collection

Coral Nail Polish

Last week my toes finally came out of hibernation for the Wedding I went too. I decided to paint them a bright neon coral to match with my dress and in the end I opted for Morgan Taylor Don't Worry Be Brilliant.

Coral's are one of my favourite shades to wear at this time of year, as they just make me think of warm evenings and Summer holidays. Now it has to be said, I have a fair few shades of coral nail polish, so I thought I would narrow it down to my top five coral picks for Summer.

What's your favourite coral nail polish? Leave a comment down below or tweet me.

O.P.I My Chihuahua Bites!, Morgan Taylor Watch Your Step, Sister!, Soigne Sirop De Rose, Morgan Taylor Don't Worry Be Brilliant, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

1. O.P.I My Chihuahua Bites - This is a crème based deep coral, that has a red undertone.

2. Morgan Taylor Watch Your, Step Sister - Created for the Disney Cinderella film, Watch Your Step, Sister is a beautiful bright shade of coral, which again is crème based, with a pink undertone.

3. Soigne Sirop De Rose - This gorgeous pink/coral has the most beautiful formula, that is natural based too.

4. Morgan Taylor Don't Worry Be Brilliant - I absolutely love this shade as it's true neon coral, which is super bright and fun.

5. China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy - This is an oldie, but a goody, as it's again a super bright neon coral, which has more of an orange undertone compared to the Morgan Taylor one.

Soigne Botanique Nail Polish Review and Photos

Soigne Nail Polish

Last month I discovered this chic little boutique nail brand called Soigne. Not only did the beautiful packaging and colours catch my eye, I also discovered all of their polishes are cruelty free and are made up of 85% natural ingredients. Here's my thoughts.
Would you swap your regular brand of nail polish for an eco friendly version even if it was double the price? Leave a comment down below or tweet me.

Price
These pretty polishes retail for £11 for 10ml of product and come in 28 core collection colours. Other products include a base, gel effect top coat and charming little gift sets, which consist of five nail lacquers packaged in the most stylish gift boxes, perfect for any nail lover. If your into your nail brands you'll know £11 is average for a quality sized, premium nail polish and for me the price is spot on for a polish that is a bit more special than your average nail varnish.

Packaging
I loved the Soigne packaging, even if it was a little excessive for a nature loving brand. The polish not only came boxed it also was presented to me in the most gorgeous bag, sealed with a branded label, very reminiscent of Chanel packaging. The bottle itself is simple, yet elegant, letting the colour of the polish do the work.

 

Application

I choose the shade Sirop de Rose, a stunning coral/pink crème formula that is glossy and just the right consistency. The polish applies effortlessly and is opaque in two coats.

Longevity
This lasted a good five days for me, using my usual O.P.I Nail Envy base and Seche Vite top coat to seal in the colour. By the fifth day the colour was slightly matted and chipped on a couple of fingers, but I think you could defiantly get a weeks worth of wear, if you applied a fresh layer of top coat and looked after the manicure.

Overall Thoughts
This pretty French brand really impressed me in every way. The beautiful packaging (if not a little excessive), 85% of natural elements and colour selection, make Soigne an individual fashion forward brand with great potential. Living in a label conscious world today, more people are aware of nasty chemicals that creep into our everyday beauty products, which is why it's great to see a nail brand taking the reigns when it comes to producing a nail range with natural ingredients. So if your after a nail polish with individuality, that's kind to the nails, with an impressive colour selection, then this could be the brand for you!

5. Morgan Taylor Invitation Only
I'm always on the look out for a good purple nail polish as there never seems to be that many good shades of purple out there. I discovered Invitation Only last year and oh what a stunner this is! It's a crème based pastel purple, that looks identical to a pack of Parma Violet sweets!

O.P.I You're Such a Budapest

6. O.P.I You're Such a Budapest
You're Such a Budapest is one of my all time favourite colours. This periwinkle purple is the most stunning shade on short nails, with or without a glitter.

 

Essie Bikini So Teeny

7. Bikini So Teeny

Another oldie but a goody, Essie Bikini So Teeny is reminiscent of O.P.I You're Such a Budapest but with more blue in. This crème based polish is shot with a faint silver shimmer and is another perfect addition to your Spring nail wardrobe.

 



Morgan Taylor Party at the Palace

8. Morgan Taylor Party at the Palace
Party at the Palace is part of the Cinderella collection created by Morgan Taylor for the release of the new Disney film. This polish has a mint green base and is shot with a gold/green shimmer. It is the most stunning shade of mint green I've ever seen and defiantly my new favourite, you have to go and check this out!

 

Tanya Burr Little Duck

9. Tanya Burr Little Duck
I recently featured this in my February favourites, not only because of the colour but because of the impressive formula. This crème based mint green is a lovely bright mint, which is opaque in two coats.

 

O.P.I Lights of Emerald City

10. O.P.I Lights of Emerald City
This is my number one favourite glitter, as I have never seen anything like this before. Lights of Emerald City is made up of tiny square pieces of iridescent glitter, mixed together with larger white square pieces. This stunning glitter looks best paired with any of the above spring colours or as the perfect addition to a Bridal French manicure, if your after something a little different but still classic.
