My Favourite Summery Nail Varnishes

Evening all!
If you'd prefer to watch me ramble on, rather than read me ramble on, here is the video version of this post. Bloopers included, ofc :)
Attractive thumbnail, as ever.
Anyway, on to the nitty gritty! Thought I would show you my favourite summery/hot weather nail varnishes. Now, in all honesty, I'm not the type of person that co ordinates my nail varnish with the season, or my outfit, or anything really. I just wear the nail varnish that I feel like wearing, but there are definitely colours I am more drawn to in hotter weather.
Barry M Berry Ice Cream, Topshop Minted, Barry M Pure Turqoise, Barry M Mint Green, Barry M Peach Melba. 
Barry M Berry Ice Cream- a lovely Parma Violet shade that isn't too pastel.
Topshop Minted- probably my top fave nail varnish, ever. Topshop nail varnys are a little bit pricier than Barry M, and with less product, but this colour is worth it! This is a beautiful, bright mint green /blue.
Barry M Pure Turquoise-  A fab, true sky blue!
Barry M Mint Green- More of a subtle, muted green, but lovely nonetheless. Barry M formulas never disappoint! 
Barry M Peach Melba- A lovely pastel peach shade, there was a huge buzz around this shade a while ago, and I'm still loving it :)
From L to R, 3 coats, 2 coats, one coat.
Lastly, Models Own Hed Kandi in Ibiza Mix. This is a fabulous glitter polish, with different shapes, sizes and colours of glitter, suspended in a clear varnish. This looks amazing on it's own, over any other summery polish, even over black.
Does anyone have any nice hot weather nail varnish recommendations? Not that there's any hot weather here at the moment! 
Thanks for reading :)

  1. Minted is a gorgeous colour. I would never buy topshop polish due to the price and formula but that polish is great :)
