The Peach Melba (French: pêche Melba is a classic dessert, invented in 1892 or 1893 by the French chef Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel, London to honour the Australian soprano, Nellie Melba.[1] It combines two favourite summer fruits: peaches and raspberry sauce accompanying vanilla ice cream.

Peach Melba is also the name of a gorgeous shade (no.72) of peach polish by BeautyUK (source: liloopedia). Many pale or pastel polishes tend to be streaky or patchy. Not with this one. Application of peach melba was, as per usual a doddle and a pleasure. The overdose of pictures will give you a pretty good clue on how much I have enjoyed this polish :P
My pictures show 3 coats but some of you might prefer to put 4 coats. (see close up at the bottom of this post)
I got a little bit fruity and wanted to pose with my beloved mango butter.
Then I got carried away and tried a little bit of nail art. Oh dear. Well it was fun to play.
Peach Melba was sent me for review purposes and I was waiting for the right opportunity. Well, there couldn't be a better moment to indulge in a little bit (or a lot) of Beautyuk.
