Today's Nails: Collection Hot Looks in Fruit Loop

Today I'm wearing Collection's Hot Looks Nail Varnish in Fruit Loop.

This particular range of polishes states in quite an understated way that it is "Fast Dry" and for one of the first times with a nail polish, I can agree with that statement. The nail varnish was dry to the touch within 30 seconds which meant I could have multiple layers of colour dry within just a couple of minutes. I love that Collection haven't massively promoted the product on this value - it just makes me like it even more because they've made a claim that to me was completely truthful unlike so many other brands.

I always love the consistency of Collection Nail Polishes, as they are not too thick or thin and the brush coats them on perfectly as it is a great width! I'm not massively keen on the shade of this polish with my particular skintone but its fun and I'll leave it on until it chips! I think this is a great polish for the neon trend without being too bright or garish and is just a fun colour for spring.

Neons: En-Trend but Unwearable?



Wildfox Vampire Smile Baggy Beach Sweatshirt - I am obsessed with Wildfox Couture, so for me that was an obvious choice. Wildfox + Neon = LOVE!


I know that Neons are going to be big this season but for me I think they can be difficult to wear without either looking too overdone or the neon disappearing into the outfit. I mean, no one wants to walk down the street looking like they've just left a rave!

I recently discovered that I own nothing that is neon... so, I've put together some items that I think are great for the neon trend and will look awesome in outfits too! What neon pieces do you love? Let me know in the comments!

Blue Life Long Sleeved Best Bum with Pocket - I think this would look fab with tonnes of layered necklaces,  rings and bracelets for that complete bo-ho chic look!

TopShop Moto Neon Pink Hotpants - paired with an oversized tee and ankle booties, I think these shorts are perfect for summer!


Vanessa Mooney Hallie Neon Wraps - Add this to a stack of fun wrap bracelets for a simple introduction to the neon trend!

BarryM Neon Nail Polish - Finally, a great way to kick some neon into your outfit without making it the focus is by adding a neon nail polish! LOVE IT!
