I like to play around with different nail colours but always end up coming back to these three; Essie Exotic Liras, Essie Splash of Grenadine and Yardley Stayfast nail polish in Romantic Ruby (R54,95).
Years ago when I was looking for the perfect Tom Ford rooi it totally fit the bill and I’m still hooked on the shade to date. In fact, I’m wearing it as I type and if you spot me out with red on fingers and toes, it’s pretty much always this one.
Recently Yardley reformulated it to be longer wearing but thankfully didn’t mess with the colour. The new formula, available in 16 shades, is formaldehyde and toluene-free, is infused with antioxidant vitamins and essential fatty acids and promises up to 10 days of wear. Despite wearing a salon-quality top coat, I’ve never gotten ten days of chip-free wear but I’m not too fussed; if I wanted long-wear I’d opt for gelish. It’s a sexy yet sophisticated-looking red I’m after and that’s exactly what I get whenever I (repeatedly) reach for Romantic Ruby.
Now tell me; are there any nail colours that you keep on buying over and over again?
Love, love

Lipgloss is my Life 
Aha! I was just looking at this beauty in my cupboard today – gorgeous shade, and thanks to your review, I’ll definitely be trying it out! x
The photo doesn’t do it any justice; trust me, it’s a to die for rooi x x
Leigh, I love Essie’s Punchy Pink! It makes me feel happy and girly but I only wear it on my toes cos then I get a little happy surprise when I wriggle my toes outta boots and gym trainers!
Oh I know it; a fab lumo pink. It looks fab on tanned toes; the perfect beach colour. And pops of neon is going to be big trend come summer.
You should so try Tip Top’s Rasberry Cream – its a gorgeous red. I blogged about it the other day. Try it and let me know if you like it 🙂
Will be sure to keep an eye out for it 😉
