Peachy Match

I've previously mentioned Revlon Top Speed in Peachy, but it deserves a post of its own. Judging from the bottle, I was a little concerned this would be too bright and neon, as opposed to having that milky pastel quality I favour. I find Peachy to be quite unique, in that it's very much like a bright orange polish, but with a distinctive pastel peach tone. Rimmel's I Love Lasting Finish in Apricot Punch, which I initially thought would be very similar, is clearly darker and more red-toned. I needed 3 coats of Peachy to get saturated and smooth coverage. Formula was a little on the thick side, but dry time was reasonable.


With flash

Botched attempt at rudimentary nail artwork (the wonky ring finger ruined it)


I've noticed that I've been wearing a lot of bold, colourful polishes lately, possibly in a modest attempt to brighten up the office drudgery of my weekdays. Purely coincidentally, my blazer and nails one day were an uncanny, perfect match. Evidently my brain can't get enough of this colour.

    Lovely colour! Good job with the nail art too. Damn that ring finger, ruining it for all the others. :) x

    I really like this color! it's matte and creamy,isnt it? I always love Revlon's nail polish, it annoys me so much that revlon is no longer available here in germany :////

    Love the colour! I agree - bright and bold nail polish colours definitely help brighten up the wardrobe during the work week.

    Loving the color :)
    This makes me miss Revlon even more than I did before...
    Revlon is not sold here in Finland anymore.. Id like to have a serious chat with whoever came up with that stupid idea ;)
    I love the blue with it too :) Looks edgy and cool :)

    the nail art is super cute! and I love the colour - possibly my next nail polish buy? I bought Essie's Tart Deco, thinking that it would look something similar to this but when I put it on, it turned out to be a bright neon orange! It's still a pretty colour but not what I expected/wanted lol.

    Love this color! I think this will be my next peach polish purchase (wow, say that three times fast :P). I haven't seen this color in Japan, so I guess I'll be tracking it down on ebay :) Thank you for the post!

    This nail polish color looks so pretty! It actually looks almost the same as my current favorite nail polish from Avon.

    I seriously don't get why this blog doesn't have 1000 followers, its so well written. i am normally not a huge fan of make up focused blogs but yours always manages to suprise me and mesmerize me. i've learnt so many products and i can't wait to try them out. this peach color is probably the most beautiful peach shade i've ever seen. i love love love how summer-ish it is, and how funky yet romantic enough. although i wouldn't combine it with blue.
    don't know why.

    I love that color! And I totally agree with you, I usually wear a lot of black and simple clothes, but I always wear nail colors and makeup to brighten up a little.

    such a pretty peach shade! :o even though i prefer the rimmel formulation over the revlon ones, i find this particular shade a lot prettier than rimmel's apricot punch :)

    I'm off the blogging map for a week and I've already missed so many of your posts. :P I love the peachy colour and the triangle art design - I was going to try it out but just don't have enough time! How do you paint your nails so perfectly? :O Mine just turn out a mess. xx

    The color is so cute! The blue triangles + peach nails you did reminds me of this clutch I almost bought. Love the two colors together surprisingly! :)
