NOTD Tanya Burr Frosting Cupcakes

Hi everyone,

Pastel shades are my favourite for this time of year so when I saw Tanya Burr’s Frosting Cupcakes nail polish I just had to have it.

This shade is a really cute pale, milky pink colour which is just so pretty and girly. It’s the perfect spring / summer shade and I was really pleased with how it looked when I first put it on. The only thing with this type of milky, pastel nail polish is that I find them really difficult to apply. It’s so easy for them to look streaky but I think the key is to start off with thin layers and build the colour up. I have applied three layers here to get the look that I want which I think is better than going straight in with a brush full of polish.

The other negative to this polish is that I found it chipped quite easily. I had only had it on for a few hours when I noticed the first signs of it wearing and a couple of chips. I had been using my hands quite a lot cleaning the rabbit hutch out and making sure the house was tidy ready for friends coming over but having acrylic nails usually means polish lasts longer. I was really disappointed to see my manicure looking worse for wear after only one day and with this type of pastel pink I think it is really noticeable and can quickly look messy.

Overall I love the colour of this nail polish but I was disappointed with how it wears, especially as you have to take a little more time and care when applying it.

What do you think of this nail polish? Which are your favourite polishes for spring and summer?

Thanks for reading,
