Ted baker cherry bomb nail duo

My nail varnish choices are very much dictated by the season. Usually by now, I'm all about the pastels, but this year because the weather's been so miserable, I'm still very much obsessed with deep burgundy's and berry reds. So when I had a chance to get a manicure, I opted for Ted Baker cherry bomb without so much as a second glance at the brighter, more Spring like shades:

I'd describe Cherry bomb as an eyecatching raspberry red. It's one of those shades that will always look sophisticated and will go with just about everything. Being the magpie that I am though, I couldn't resist adding on a coat on Sugar rush onto my ring finger as an accent nail.

Sugar rush probably isn't opaque enough to wear by itself, but as a glittery top coat, I think it's just beautiful. It's also a quick and easy way of hiding any minor chips. I actually really liked the effect, and if glitter polish wasn't such a pain to remove, I would have happily painted the rest of my nails too.

Like most polishes, Cherry bomb was opaque in 2 coats. Drying time was average and I managed to last 3 days without any chips. Overall, a good value nail varnish set, and one that I would definitely recommend if you're not quite ready to embrace Spring pastels either.
