Pretty Perfect Pastels

Hands up, who's ready for spring?

I'll admit it, I'm loving my Australian summer no matter how hot it gets!  But there is something about the freshness of the British springtime that I just love.  Perhaps it has something to do with bursts of colour starting to appear outside, there's nothing better than seeing those first daffodils poking their heads out of the ground.  For me it also means that summer is getting closer and maybe, just maybe, there will be a break in the grey rainy days and the sun will come out to play! (A girl can hope, right?)

I keep seeing pastels popping up everywhere ready for spring to arrive so I've put together a few of my favourite brands and the pastel shades they have on offer.  These are not all new colours but they definitely scream spring to me!

Butter London Artful Dodger

I picked up two gorgeous Butter London polishes on a recent shopping trip to Manchester.  I've been lusting after many of their polishes so I was really excited to finally see them for the first time in a store.  It was purely by accident that I saw these whilst browsing the beauty clearance section in Debenhams.  In the flesh the colours are stunning, more so than any picture I had seen on the net.  It was hard to choose but I picked out Thames, which I will review at a later time, and Artful Dodger.
