Pretty Pastels | Spring Nails


I love it when March rolls around as it's the time for pretty spring nails. It always seems like such a short time from when winter ends and summer begins so I like to get in quick with the pastel shades. 

I picked up a couple of the Models Own scented collection last year but didn't really get that much time to wear them. In all honesty I don't think that the scented aspect adds anything to these polishes, yes you can get a faint whiff of apple and grape but they just smell like polish to me. The pink colour isn't part of the scented collection, it's just called pastel pink, I think this was actually the first Model's Own polish I ever bought!

I've always thought that Model's Own polishes are worth the £5 each. I find that they have a similar quality to Essie, they apply nicely and don't streak (ooh er!) I also like the size and shape of the bottles and they fit nicely into my nail polish storage box. I did encounter one mishap with the bottle though, when I unscrewed the lid, the brush stayed inside the bottle! I did manage to get it to come out in the end though and it's nothing a bit of superglue won't solve!

I'm really loving the green shade right now and although it's probably exactly the same, I really want to buy Essie's Mint Candy Apple polish! I feel a March wishlist coming on!


When do you start wearing pastel shades? What are you favourite spring shades?
