I thought that this would be appropriate seeing as Valentine's day is all about the pinks and the reds! I don't have the biggest polish collection, but I still have plenty of choice when I give myself a mani at home.
Maybelline Mini Colorama in #5 Cotton Candy $5.95 AUD
I find that these mini Maybelline formula's last better than most other brands on me, and I love this shimmery pink that really does look the colour of cotton candy, or fairy floss as we call it here in Australia.
Bo Peep is a bright fuschia colour that I adore! I find that even though I'm pale, I look alright in these bright colours. They also make me smile when I look at them, so it's win-win!
Apart from this having a gorgeous name, it was a bargain that I picked up from duty free last time I went overseas. It's a nice pale pink that I find quite plain, so I like to jazz it up with a glitter over the top!
This came out with the Viva La Colour collection, which was one of the most exciting collections I've seen in a long time. It's a plummy, wintery sort of pink that makes me want to wrap myself in a big oatmeal knit and read a book.
This not-so-cutely named shade is my Barbie polish- pale pink, creamy, simple, stunning. I love the bottle shape, and the affordable price tag. This is darker than OPI Pink-ing of You and I like that.

What are some of your favourite pink polishes?
I'd love to get some recommendations on what I should buy next!
Bo Peep and Chiquita Pink are my favourites. I think you've inspired me to paint my nails now! :) x
ReplyDeleteMichelle they're stunning aren't they! My Mum has just painted her nails with Chiquita Pink and it looks so great on her olive skin tone as well as my pale skin!
DeleteNice selection! My favourite pink polishes are all OPIs: Princesses Rule which is an icy glass-fleck pink, Shorts Story (hot pink creme) and It's All Greek to Me (hot magenta shimmer) which has to be my all time favourite because it has a slight colour shift in different light. Just looked back at my original post 12mths ago and I think IAGTM needs a reswatch to do it justice - shall do when my nails grow back!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Vita :) I love Shorts Story as well, it's probably my most worn polish (it's actually my MIL's but still!)
DeleteMy favourites are OPI Bubble Bath (more of a neutral colour really), Essie Pink Parka (bright fluro pink) & OPI Koala Beary (hot raspberry pink)!
ReplyDeleteJess, Koala Beary is the cutest name ever!! And would make a great gift for a friend overseas,thanks for pointing it out to me!
DeleteI love OPI Italian Love Affair! Gorgeous 60's style pink :)
ReplyDeleteOoh that sounds lovely, I'll have to look into that!
DeleteOh wow! All of those pinks are sooo pretty! Loving Cotton Candy!
ReplyDeleteThanks The Peach! I am digging pink so hard lately in every aspect of my makeup :)
DeleteReally lovely pink polishes :)
ReplyDeleteI used to wear a lot of pinks but lately it Ive been drawn to taupes, greys, browns etc :)
My favorite pink polishes are Vintage Pink (Models Own), Strawberry Fizz (Rimmel), Candy Pink (Mavala), Sweety (Mavala), Blooming (Lumene), Vintage Rose (Snowcrystal) and Portobello Pink (Rimmel)
Candy Pink has a lovely lilac sheen to it and Strawberry Fizz has a sweet strawberry scent when dry :)
Thanks for commenting ShortyLegs ;P I go through moods with my colours as well, I'm definitely in pink mode atm. I like the idea of the smell of Strawberry Fizz, I think we have that here so will have to sniff (mind the pun!) it out!
DeleteMmm I will have to get some of those face shop polishes. Cute colour and good price tag :)
ReplyDeleteThe kit one is also cute. hmmm may have to steal these off you :p
Steal away my darling :D Even the Face Shop bottles are super cute, love 'em
