I go through phases with my nail polish picks. More often than not I reach for pastels or neons as I like something that can make a statement. Red shades are scarce in my collection but there's a select few that I love. In particular coral is a colour that I favour as I think it treads the line between classic and fashion. My favourite ever coral is OPI's Cajun Shrimp. It has the perfect mix of red, orange and pink to make a very wearable yet bright coral. I don't own many OPI nail polishes. I tend to buy their mini sets so I can try out their new shades but it's rare that I'll actually buy a full size one. I think it's probably because they are a few pounds more than most of the polishes you'd find in Boots. I made an exception for Cajun Shrimp because I chose it as my first ever proper salon manicure shade on a trip to New York a few years ago. I've associated this colour with Summer holidays ever since and break it out every year. It looks stunning on any skin tone and will instantly brighten up any outfit. The formula is absolutely amazing too. It's practically opaque after one quick swipe, applies so smoothly and lasts for ages without chipping. It's just literally the perfect Summer red nail polish! It might be raining outside as I type this but it's definitely Summer on my nails. Let me know some of your favourite OPI shades!

Such a pretty colour! I really like OPI, but they're quite expensive, although the bottles are huge, so I doubt they'll ever run out :)xo

I used to absolutely love red nail polish, but for some unknown reason, I've suddenly found myself off it! I think like you, I much prefer wearing pastel or darker shades as red is very classic looking. I am more fond of wearing red lips though. Strange! Anyway, this is such a lovely colour. I love that it's a red shade, but the orange and pink tones take away that classic look to it, but just make it a fun summer shade.
