Lilac loveliness.

Hi there ♥

Just thought I'd pop in this evening to show you my nails painted with my lovely new lilac shade from H&M. As with most of my posts this week, this was a present from some friends and I couldn't wait to try it out!

I didn't really know what to expect from H&M nail polish as I had never used it before - but I have to say I was very impressed. It glided on beautifully and there was no stickiness or signs of gloopy clumps. I think I could have even stopped applying after one coat as the colour was brilliantly bold. I kept it safe with a second though, hopefully this means it will stay on for a good few days.

I also feel like this light colour gives my fingers a bit of an extended look which is great for me. I have had a bit of a complex about my stubby little fingers ever since I was told I 'do not have the fingers of a piano player' by my tutor at a young age. I think she was probably just subtly trying to get me to stop taking her lessons - if only she knew the impact she has truly had! Cue violins.

Anyway, I also thought I'd share this nail polish by Forever 21 with you after it popped up on my Twitter this evening.

Strawberry Scented Nail Polish - Forever 21

Just a warning ladies, this polish is actually from Forever 21's American site and it doesn't look like it is available in the UK yet. But I am almost tempted to order some over from the states - yes, I know...it's probably not worth it. I am just so curious. It's just like when I discovered scented gel pens at primary school. (Gosh it's amazing how much nail polishes are bringing back childhood memories for me :p)

I also think that this colour could look lovely on my nails this summer.

So, what do you guys think? Is scented nail polish too far? I'm mainly worried I would get my old nail-biting habits back!

Hope you've all had a nice Monday. I've had a spot of the Monday blues - although this polish did cheer me up a bit.
