A Pretty Polish: 17 Lasting Fix in Orange Soda

Hello!

Orange and coral shades seem to be everywhere lately, so I thought I'd start small with the trend by giving my fingernails a lick of orange paint.

I blogged about Lasting Fix polish in Pink Grapefruit recently, but just to recap, the Lasting Fix formula is slightly watery (you need at least two coats for a decent result) and impressively long lasting.

Once again I have enlisted my lovely-handed friend India to model the polish.

This is one of those 'tanning' polishes that instantly warms up your skin tone thanks to its fluorescent tones. I'm thinking I might wear this on my toenails when (if) the weather calls for open toe shoes :)

You can pick this polish up from Boots for £2.99.

What do you think of this colour? Are you a fan of the 17 nail polishes?

Thanks for reading! :*

A Pretty Polish: 17 Lasting Fix in Pink Grapefruit

These little pots of polish by 17 have become my go-to brand when I want a new nail colour.

I usually stick to darker colours or bright reds, but I thought Pink Grapefruit would be perfect for prettying up my nails for Spring.

My nails aren't worthy of photographing at the moment, so I borrowed my friend India's lovely hands to model the polish for this post :)

In the pictures, India only has one coat on her nails, and as you can see it leaves quite a sheer finish.
For a more opaque result, two or three coats are definitely needed.

The polish applies really smoothly, is glossy and fairly chip resistant.
As for the 'lasting fix' claims, I think it comes through on the promise pretty well and looks fairly flawless for a good few days.

The formula is a little on the watery side, which I quite like because it generally means less drying time.
Besides the bright, flirty colour, the selling point for me is how easily applied this polish is: It's not gloopy at all and the brush fans out to just the right size. Result :)

17 Lasting Fix Nail Polish is available at Boots in a variety of colours for £2.99.
