Nails Inc Juicy Sheers: "Henley Regatta" & "Chelsea Flower Show"

I never thought I'd be a fan of sheer nail polishes. I've always loved bright and opaque colours, but since I laid my eyes on these two on a random post I read (sorry, I just can't remember which one it was), I decided sheer would be my next obsession.

These two nail polishes are just BEAUTIFUL.
They are also scented, by the way! Henley Regatta (once dry!) smells like strawberries, and Chelsea Flower Show like oranges. I never thought I'd like scented nail polish, but I LOVE it (weird, right?)

The colours are sheer but intense. By this, I mean that once you've layered three coats on your nails, the colour is definitely bright but you can still see your nail underneath. As I said, I like this polish on short nails best. But, really, I'm a short nail lover, so I wear every nail polish with short nails.

Would you give sheer nail polishes a try?

RIGHT NOW

Wearing (on my nails):
Models Own "Fluro Orange"


I've never worn too many orange things, but I find bright orange nail polish VERY flattering.

Listening to:
You Make My Dreams - Hall & Oates
(500 days of Summer; amazing film and soundtrack!)

Watching: 
LLYMLRS' July Favourites on Youtube

Reading (on my Kindle):
The Night Circus (by Erin Morgenstein) 



Nothing like Harry Potter, but I definitely recommend this book, it's full of magic and enchantment. You'll want to live in this monochrome circus.

Latest app used:
Camera Bag




You can create really amazing effects, and then upload them to Instagram (that's what I do).

Last order placed:
Nails Inc Juicy Sheer in "Henley Regatta" & "Chelsea Flower"


Two beautiful sheer nail polishes in pink (HR) and orange (CF), from BeautyBay.
I think these look much better with short nails than with longer nails.

What are YOU doing right now? :)

Love,
Maria.
