Today's post in all about my current top five nail polishes for summer. Now, these are from my own collection and are the top 5 polishes I am currently reaching for. I always like the idea of painting my nails but doing such a 'hands on' university course, I can't really paint my finger nails during term time. So when summer comes around, I fall back in love with painting my nails. Well, I say my nails but I wear fake nails as mine don't really grow anymore. Too many years of biting my nails have led them to not grow very fast. 

Right now, I am letting my finger nails have a rest from polish (and fake nails) but I have the blue shade in my top 5, on my toes. 

My top 5 choices :

- Barry M nail paint in Peach Melba

- Barry M nail paint in Tangerine

- AVON Gel finish nail enamel in Lavender Sky

- AVON Nailwear Pro+ in Sea Breeze

- NYC In a New York Minute Quick Dry nail polish in Water Street Blue

Peach Melba is such a gorgeous, peachy nude colour. I really like wearing this colour when I don't want to wear anything bright. As I am really pale, I don't like wearing really pale pastel/nude colours, but this shade has the right amount of colour in it for me. You do need a good 2/3 coats on with this colour, as it can be slightly thin after 1. 

Tangerine is an amazing orange colour which brightens up any outfit. Again, it does need 2/3 coats but looks great with that amount. It doesn't take long to dry and isn't streaky. For me, I love wearing this on my toes as it looks sooooo good peeking out from sandals/open-toe shoes. A fun polish for the summer. 

Lavender sky is an amazing polish. I couldn't believe the opaque-ness from just one coat! The gel finish from AVON, for me, even out performs the Barry M Gel ones (which I still love!). This is the most perfect pastel purple shade for my girlier days and it doesn't chip! I have had this on before and it lasted 4 days. 

Sea breeze is a stunning mint green nail polish, which is a staple summer colour. I am a huge fan of AVON nail polishes and this one ticks all the boxes again. It only takes 2/3 coats for a streak-free, opaque nail. In the past, it has lasted 4 days without a single chip.

My current toe nail polish colour is this one! Water Street Blue is a beautiful bright blue that shines in the sunshine. It lasts 3-4 days before chipping and is a quick dry polish. It does need 2/3 coats but that helps it to last. Super cheap for such a great polish.
