Summer Love: No 7 Speed Dry Nail Polish in Fuschia Daze

Boots has a special 3-for-2 offer on selected No7 products going on right now.
I went straight for two of their Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes (amazing makeup cleansers, will review them some other day) and didn't know what to choose for my third item - I didn't want their blush, didn't need their lipsticks, lipglosses, other skincare, or sunprotection - so I bought one of their 6 new nail polishes released for the Summer.



Readers, meet No7's, Fuschia Daze



Fuschia Daze - what a misleading name - I always associate fuschia with hot pinks with purple tones. This is downright coral.
I can begin by describing that this is a killer coral shade - it is coral, but has flashes of pink grapefruit due to the wonderful pink shimmery goodness,
I can't explain this colour very well, so I took 10 gazillion photos for you to see its beauty.. Remember to click on the picture to full-view!





It was painfully hard to capture the real-life colour of this shade when swatched. I tried my best - again, here's several pictures to give you an idea;




Two coats swatch on my thumb

I know my nals are horribly stubby due to the fact I've been biting them. I know there is a crease line in one of them because I accidentally touched the edge of a paper when the polish hadn't set yet, and I know I have nail polish on my flesh.
So sue me! D:



Quick notes: Contrary to name, the 'Speed Dry' nail polish line do not actually dry quick. I would say at least about a minute, or just under it - I don't really mind, either way I still wouldn't kick Fuschia Daze outta bed.
