I've decided to write some short but sweet words on my three latest shades
of Avon Nailwear Pro+, "Apple Of His Eye", "Grape Goddess",
and "Seduce Me Strawberry"; three of the six new fruit-inspired nail
polish shades that "look good enough to eat"! They're super summer
shades, and I loved the look of them all, but these were my chosen shades as I
thought they were the ones I'd wear the most.
I also want to briefly share my thoughts on the new Avon Nail Decoration Tool.
First I'm going to discuss each of the colours individually, then I'll go on to comment on their wear, and finally I'll mention the Nail Decoration Tool.

"Apple Of His Eye" was love at first sight for me. If
you've read my previous blogs you'll know that red nail polishes (and red
lipsticks) are firm favorites of mine. This one is a modern twist on the
classic retro red.
It's a stunning bright red/coral shade, packed with eye-catching gold and bronze glitter. It's very versatile Being slightly on the coral side makes this red polish light enough to enjoy in the spring months, when pastel shades are in, but being a red it's also suitable for the rest of the year (although personally, I'd opt for something deeper for autumn/winter). The glitter looks heavenly in the summer sunlight, and it's glamorous enough for a night out.
I thought that, due to me being a red-nail enthusiast, "Apple Of His Eye" would be my favorite of the three shades. However, "Grape Goddess" is even more breath-taking.
From the Avon brochure I thought this polish looked a lot like another of Avon's Nailwear Pro+ shades (which I also own) called "Decadence", but it actually has a very different finish. "Grape Goddess" is a bright, rich purple infused with fuchsia sparkles. It's a fun and party-perfect shade, but it's also sexy and seductive. The shade is colourful enough to pull off in the spring and summer months, but it also has more than enough depth to enjoy in the autumn/winter. This polish is a clear winner for me. I am certainly very pleasantly surprised!

I'm not usually one for pink polishes, but in the brochure "Seduce Me
Strawberry" caught my eye. It's a vibrant pink, loaded with eye-catching pink and silver shimmer. This
shade is super-girly and perfectly flirty! After studying this polish for some time (and trying to
"ignore" the light-reflective glitter particles), the main pink shade
looks slightly on the pastel side to me, making it a fabulous colour for
spring. The added sparkles also make this polish perfect for those long summer
days.
Now, let's discuss the products' other qualities. All three shades are perfectly opaque after 2 coats. I highly suggest you don't use these shades in a hurry; any smudges, scratches and fingerprints are very visible due to their high-gloss finish (especially "Grape Goddess"), I always try to set aside some "me time" to do my manicures! As for the wear, Avon claim up to 12 days of lasting colour from their Nailwear Pro+ polishes. I don't think I've actually ever kept the same shade on for 12 days, I love changing my nails so much that I usually change my polish at least weekly, but you certainly do get some decent wear out of them as long as your nails are in fairly good condition. I used to have real problems with all of Avon's polishes wear on the thin areas of my thin peeling nails. However, since using Avon Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat (see below for price and purchase details) my nails have been in much better condition, and using it as a base coat boosts longevity by fighting colour fade and helping to prevent chips and peeling - I will be doing a review for Avon Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat very soon; the stuff is a miracle and I can't wait to share more about it with you!
I've added images to this blog entry and the polishes really do look great, but photos still don't do them justice. You really need to see them for real to witness just how dazzling they really are! They're dirt cheap, too, so what are you waiting for!

Finally I want to share my thoughts on the new Avon Nail Decoration Tool.
It's a neat little accessory for creating unique nail art designs. It's sort of
two-tools-in-one, with a thin brush on one end and a "cone" (for
dots) on the other. As with most Avon products, the price tag is tiny, so it
would be great for practicing nail art.
I'm not a huge fan of massively fancy nail art on my own fingers...not when I have to do it myself anyway. As you can probably see from the photo, God didn't bless me with perfectly steady hands, hence why I never pursued my dream of becoming a tattoo artist. I think the dots look quite cute, but I knew the "plumes" I did using the brush weren't going to end well before I even started. Never mind though, I was just experimenting!
The base shade is "Seduce Me Strawberry" and the detail shade is "Inky Blue" (both Avon Nailwear Pro+). I also added a silver nail art gemstone for a bit of sparkle.
Overall, it's a nice piece of kit for manicure enthusiasts, but steady hands are ideal - get practicing!
Avon Nailwear Pro+ nail polishes are available for £6.00 each. The Avon Nail Decoration Tool is available for £3.00. Avon Nail Experts Gel Strength Base Coat is available for £5.00. Avon's products can be purchased via your Avon Representative or online from the Avon website:
