My perfect summer coral

My search for perfect summer coral has finally ended with the find of Essie – Meet me at sunset nailpolish and Max Factor – Intensely coral lipstick. They go so well with summer whites! 

My basic or everyday's Essie is always Allure, which is nice, translucent white and sometimes, when I'm in a hurry, it's my base and I just cover it with more intense colour.

I'm constantly doing something with my hands, so when it comes to manicure time, I don't have much time. I'm always looking for nailpolishes with enough pigment that one layer is sufficient and looks nice. Essie does the job very well and stays on. It also dries quite fast, which is also very important to me.

If you wish a stronger shade of lipstick, you can try the Max Factor Lipfinity - Forever striking or Maybelline - Citrus flame. I love those two as well! 

 

I have also tried with L'Oreal's coral lipstick (coral showroom), but it's not as intense as I would like, but it comes of easily and doesn't stain your lips in case you change your mind and want to go nude. 

If you are looking for cheaper versions, you could try Catrice nailpolish, they have a nice shade of coral - Meet me at coral island. 

On the photo below, you can compare all the lipsticks:

On the photo below, you can see shades of different coral nailpolishes. I added Essence - Off to Miami! nailpolish and I think the price is the lowest of them all. The shade is very similar to Catrice - Meet me at coral island, but much lighter than Essie - Meet me at sunset.

In Europe, you can purchase all those beauty products in better stocked DM (German site) markets or in one of the Müller (German site) stores.

If you are worried about animal testing and deciding whether to purchase or not, you can always check PETA's list of cruelty free cosmetics. (← click the link and check it out).  Some companies don't test their products on animals, but might purchase the ingredients that were tested on animals.

Feel free to leave a comment about how satisfied you are with your coral shade of nailpolish or lipstick. Have you tried out anything else you think it's better? Let me know! I would love to hear and love to try! ;)
