This is my new favourite polish! I bought it in the ASOS free delivery/sale awhile ago. I don’t normally just buy random colours off the internet without seeing swatches of it somewhere first, but I really wanted to find a pink/purple polish a similar shade to my hair. I saw this one and the name Bermuda Shorts made me wonder if it was going to be a bit too neon and garish…but it was on sale, so I ordered it anyway! :D
I apologise for the short nails, this was just after I’d chopped them a little too short. This is my first Essie polish, I love the bottle with the raised name down the side and the brush was good too. I put on one coat and it dried in a couple fo minutes to a matte finish like most neons do, I decided to stick another coat on to even it out. The formula and brush are great, I didn’t even need to do a clean up because it went on so nicely. I put a top coat on to make it shiny as I prefer it to the matte finish.
And a shot with my hair! My hair slices are a bit more purple, but I like it. My slices have turned into a pink now as I haven’t dyed it for two weeks. I am booking a hair appointment next week and I want thicker slices so I’m letting the semi-permanent colour wash out a bit. I think Virgin Rose is my favourite Special Effect dye I’ve used as it fades so well. Even though my hair is faded it just looks pink rather than the horrible orange colour you get when a red fades. I’m looking forward to getting it done though, it looks so much better afterwards. I’m leaving it a few extra weeks of rubbish hair as I’m taking my mum to see 30 Seconds to Mars in Brighton in a couple of weeks. It’s one of her favourite bands, she is more down with the kids than I am! I have never been to Brighton before, but I’ve heard the shops are awesome. If anyone knows of cool places to visit while we are there feel free to let my know?! :D I’ve been told to visit The Lanes, but apart from that I have no idea what is there, but it should be a fun trip.
Hope everyone is keeping warm and attempting to not get blown away in the weather!

/ November 11, 2010Love the slices. Think thicker is better though.
I got this polish but haven’t tried it yet. Better root it out.

/ November 12, 2010How fun–coordinated hair and nails! Much more interesting than matching nails and lips. :)

/ November 13, 2010Jenni – You should hunt it out, it’s a lovely polish. I might even put it on again today now my nails have grown a bit more! :)
KarenD – I have a similar lipstick colour too, maybe that would be a bit scary to be that crazy fuchsia woman! :P
