Brights for Summer - Turquoise Nails

Bright nails are a key summer accessory, so I thought I would post about and compare two similar colours that are both lovely. One by Jessica, the other by Ciate.





Jessica - Electric Teal (£9.75)



This gorgeous turquoise has a matte effect but is shot through with a subtle shimmer, it dries fast and is very vibrant and eye-catching. It is easy to apply and highly pigmented. Most importantly though, the colour is lovely, and the hints of shimmer blended in with its matte effect make for gorgeous wearing...

Ciate - Ditch the Heels (£9.00) 




This colour is very glossy and shiny, this being its primary difference to the Jessica polish, it gives a lustrous, almost wet look finish, but the intensity of the colour remains even after one coat. The Ciate packaging is attractive, almost French looking (despite being English), which I think gives it some charm, it also helps that the handle is noticeably longer which eases application. Two gorgeous pops of turquoise, similar in colour but each offering a different finish, but both with beautiful results.

I will get back to you on the longevity of both.
