L'oreal Pastel Nail Polishes



Hello Lovelies! 

On a recent shopping trip I picked up some new nail polishes (shocker) so to justify this I felt it only right to share them with you! Since Spring has finally sprung I am loving all things pastel, from clothes right down to my nails. So when I seen these new releases from L'oreal I knew I had to get my hands on them. At the counter that I was at there were four colours in total but since it was on 3 for 2 I held back and restricted myself to just three. (I know, I'm very good) They are all very very pale off white shades so I decided to go for the ones with a tint of colour to them because I just thought that the white might look a little like tipp-ex on your nails. 

So the ones I picked up were Peach Neglige, Nouvelle Vague and Pistachio Drage which are a pale pink, a pale lilac and a pale mint green colour! So far I have worn the lilac and the mint green (for St. Patricks Day, how very patriotic of me) and I am very impressed. I think the green could give Essie's Mint Candy Apple a run for its money! We all love a good mint and I am constantly on the hunt for my perfect one, I am really liking this one as it is just right in the middle of being a blue toned and a green toned mint. I don't actually have anything like the lilac in my collection already so it is a unique shade to me and I am loving it so far, blue or purple nail polish is normally something I try to stay away from but for this I had to make an exception! I haven't tried the pink on my nails yet, just swatched it but from that swatch I think it could be a close dupe for Essie Fiji which is another firm favourite of mine! 

The lasting power of these polishes are not the best I'll be honest. I put my usual Seche Vite on top as usual and I started to notice chipping on the second day of wear which was a bit disappointing. None the less it doesn't take away from these beautiful colours and how amazing they look with a tan! I know I won't be able to resist if I see any other new pastel nail polishes being released in the coming weeks so watch this space for more nail polishes! 

Have you any pastel nail polish recommendations for me? I have seen Barry M has released some new shades in their Gelly Hi-Shines which I am so excited to get my hands on!
