Normally bright pink nail varnish is something I steer well clear of but I just couldn't leave *Ciaté's Electronica untouched. Something about the brightness of it made me think it would be perfect for summer and I was right. *Electronica is a really vibrant bubble gum pink with a hint of coral that is just perfect for festival season. I picked up *Electronica from the *Ciaté Mini Mani Manor but it is actually part of Ciaté's neon range, unfortunately I don't think they still stock *Electronica but you can pick it up here for £2!

I think what draws me most to *Electronica is its finish. It has an almost rubber finish which I think Ciaté describe as satin? I'm not too sure, but it lies somewhere between being glossy and being matte. It's really nice and completely unlike anything else that I have in my collection.

As with all Ciaté polishes, *Electronica was an absolute dream to apply and dried within seconds. I don't always find that the Ciaté nail polishes have the best wear time but *Electronica is amazing, I had it on for days and played netball with it on and it didn't chip until at all until I took it off.

This may not be a shade that I will be reaching for every time I paint my nails but it really is a nice one for the summer and I was surprised by how much I liked it! Maybe I should reconsider my hate for pink?

What's your summer nail colour?

I've been dying to get my hair cut for so long now. I'm so sick of my long hair and it just causes me too much stress. It gets all over the place, has more knots than I thought was possible and makes me so hot. So I decided for the summer that I would finally go in and get it all cut off. Well not all of it, maybe just to above my shoulders. This will be the shortest I've had my hair since I was in infants school so lets hope that I don't end up looking 5 years old again!

What do you think of bobs?

I love reading and watching beauty hauls, well any kind of haul really. I think they are a great way to find out about new products which means my shopping list always seems to grow considerably after having seen one. I would just like to point out that this was not all from one outing and I have bought these things over the past few months. I've also bought it all with my own money and I've actually been saving for quite a long time so that I could treat myself this summer. I will eventually be giving full reviews of each product but if there is a review that you would like a bit sooner, then just let me know.
