I was so happy when I found the new Spring Beetlejuice range in my local boots, they didn't stock the original polishes (until now) so I wasn't expecting to have a change to buy these for a while (until Asos next offered free delivery). My favourite colour of the collection is probably Indian Ocean, but it's a cool blue and just not as bright, warm and summery as Tropical Sun.
I am glad that I went for this colour, it's really warm so it compliments my very pale skin and just looks gorgeous in the bright sun that I'm enjoying at the moment.
Application
I applied the polish over a clear base coat. I know that some people prefer to use a complimenting colour underneath sheer shades like this, and that would work really well - I have a lot of orangey polishes I'd love to try this with, but I wanted to see what it was like on it's own - and the result was very good.
The first coat (below left) applied sheer but very evenly, giving a pretty peach sheen to my nails, almost like a lip gloss of polishes, pretty but I don't think I would ever wear the polish like that. The second coat turned the polish almost opaque, my nails were a lovely shimmery orange with a gold sheen and tiny flecks of silver which I wasn't expecting. I found myself looking at my nails throughout the next few days and noticing that they looked quite pink in some light which I really liked. I also noticed that in some angles you could see the half moons of my nails, I don't mind this but I applied a third coat a day after the first two and I think it looked nicer still.
I'm really pleased with this polish and eager to go out and buy Indian Ocean now!
