Caribbean Blue Nails. NOTD (Nina Ultra Pro)

.
I can’t believe how sunny and warm it has been today. It really felt like I was on holidays abroad and there couldn’t have been a better time to play with nail polish in the park and take millions of photos of my hand, to get the passers by talk and assume I am a weirdo. I’ve gone past caring now and if people stop and ask ‘you’ve been spending the past 15 minutes photographing your left hand, why?’ I go ‘Oh it’s for a photography project, experiment and challenge and that usually shuts them up.

Today, holiday weather, I am wearing CARIBBEAN BLUE from Nina Ultra Pro, exclusively sold at Sally’s stores and online. It’s your average shimmery turquoise nail polish but with a difference: It applies very well, perfectly opaque in 2 coats, and is good for value for money: £3.89 for 15 ml of product.

It doesn’t blow me away as my other nail polish from Nina Ultra Pro, Last Call but I like it a lot. I also own ‘Purple Pizzazz’ from Nina Ultra Pro, which is probably my favourite purple. I wanted to do a dual post and show it to you at the same time as Caribbean Blue, but I have given up on trying to capture it: no matter how many times I try to photograph its purple gorgeousness and annoyingness, all I can capture is blue. Oh well.

Last Call nails from Nina Ultra Pro

.
Put a gold shimmer in any nail polish and it's a thumbs up for me. Put a gold shimmer in an amazing easy to apply and smooth formula and wrap it in a 15ml bottle and sell it at £3.89 and I am in love. Meet my latest addition to my little nail polish collection: Last Call from Nina Ultra Pro.

Until a few days ago, I had not even heard of Nina Ultra Pro. When looking for a China Glaze nail polish (one of the gems of the discontinued OMG holographic collection) on Sallys Express website, I came across the brand Nina ultra pro. A quick search into google brought me to a picture of someone's nails wearing 'Last Call'. I was sold right away and I just had to pop down to my local Sallys and get it.

'Last call' is delightful purply wine polish infused with gold. The application is just so easy, not a bubble, streak, patch in sight and I can't believe this has not been talked about more in the blogosphere. Needless to say that I've got my eyes on many more polishes from the brand. 'Mossy Britches' and 'Maple Syrup' are now on my lust list.
