Mavala: Blue Curacao

We're in the midst of an Indian Summer down here so I'm still embracing summery choices for my nails - like watery blues!

Blue Curacao is from Swiss brand Mavala's Art Colour Summer Collection released in 2011 and is a totally, smack-on summer appropriate, beachy aqua blue.  It's slightly reminiscent of my favourite aqua For Audrey from China Glaze but is a shade darker with a hint more green. The coverage was superior with this polish, and it was almost a one coater.  I don't have much more to say about this really so I'll move straight onto the pictures...

Mavala: 72 Nice

I haven't worn Mavala nail polish in years - namely because this Swiss brand just so hard to find around here! I have fond memories of wearing the most beautiful burgundy polish from Mavala, called I think Tobago, and I used that little bottle up because it was simply the best burgundy polish I had in my collection back then...

Fast forward to my recent vacation and I spotted a Mavala stand at a local pharmacy.  The colours weren't standouts but there were a few beachy shades I was able to pick out.  I chose Nice because I can never (ever, everrr!) get enough of coral in summer and this shade isn't a straight glossy creme but has the teensiest bit of shimmer to it - I did struggle to get it to show up in my pictures but trust me it's there!  Anyway, application was smooth as silk, the dry time was fast and it managed to stay chip free for three days.  Not bad considering I was swimming every day!

What nail colour do you think is synonymous with summer for your nails?

Until next time.
