If you are the slightest bit interested in nails, you will have heard of Marian Newman, one of the most sought after nail stylists in the world. Although I’ve been a fan of Marian for a long time, I’d never actually met her until today. It was like my birthday getting the goddess of nails painting me a beautiful Shellac shade called Tropix that is every inch a true coral and fits right in to the 70′s vibe going on. Shellac is super-glossy – my nails look amazing (which is saying something – I haven’t done any nail posts for a while because they have been in such a state of disrepair) and it’s a colour I can live quite happily with for the natural lifespan of Shellac which is two weeks.
Actually, there were 24 colours to choose from – some really beautiful nude shades (look out for Beau and Romantique), but in the end opted for the hot shade.

Yummy! I have a similar colour on my toes now! It’s not as lovely and vivid as yours though.

Wow, lucky you!
Thats really fab, and I love Tropix.
OMG that colour is to DIE for! I have a few corals but they all lean towards the orangey-red kind…. this is just the colour I’m after but can’t seem to find. Gorgeous!

You lucky thing!
I offer Shellac and it’s such a great product! I hope you enjoy =). x
Now that’s not coral as I tend to think of it. I’m with Pandora who mentioned it looking orange. I love orange, but not for lips or nails, but THAT ….. THAT I would definitely wear. Is Shellac a salon-only brand?

Hi there..thanks for comments..love this manicure..might even be my favourite ever. Ali, it really is quite corally.. I put it next to a (proper) coral bracelet and the colours are very close x
My colleague at work is currently wearing the same colour – it’s really lush!
I love Shellac – it’s one of those rare products that does exactly as it promises.
Could be tempted with this colour, it’s lovely & bright
