In Style Peach Sorbet

Since my last haul of the nail polish variety, I was determined they would be the last purchases for a while.  Then I saw In Style's latest issue and well, the rest is history!

Nails Inc latest freebie offerings (they are so good to us!) come in 3 beautiful Spring-appropriate shades and as soon as I saw the selection, I knew Peach Sorbet had to be mine.  The name conjures up a colour that is delicate, pretty and feminine; and the result is just that.

As for the application, the first layer results in a surprisingly pigmented and opaque finish, although some-what streaky.  After a second coat, the colour is truly opaque and could well be left here - as I have done on my toes - but I did apply a third and final coat to ensure no streaks.  After a top layer with Seche Vite, you are left with a beautiful and glossy light peach shade that is nude in some lights and slightly pink in others.  It is almost like a peachy cousin of OPI's Mod About You; creamy and very light but with enough colour that it stops your hands looking like a corpse and will also look amazing offset with a deep tan.

I think this is going to have to be a shade that I will buy multiple copies of the same magazine for.  I want back ups of this and for the price of £3.80, it'd be rude not to!

The best things in life are free

Last month the magazines here in the UK were offering some fantastic freebies including The Body Shop eyeliners & mascaras and Ciaté lipglosses - of which I absolutely love and have featured here and here. 

And this month, they've done it again.

My personal picks are Marie Claire and Elle who are offering Ciaté (they get around don't they?!) paint pots and Mavala nail colours respectively.  I chose the conservative options of My Fair Lady and The Elle Grey but there are other options including the fantastic Elle red as seen over at Makeup Savvy.

Other freebies this month include Glamour's offer of Eyelure lashes and Red's slightly less appealing Balance Me bodywashes.

Will you be picking up any of these publications this month?  Not only are the gifts fantastic but the fashion is amazing - I love September... it's like the Fashion New Year!!
