Before I start to introduce the Summer bright shades that have recently been added to my nail varnish collection, I thought I would share with you what has been one of my favourite classic Red shades over the past couple of months.
Jacava London is a reasonably new brand that offer a range of nail varnishes that are all free of eight nail nasties; including no Formaldehyde, no Camphor, no DBP, no Toluene and additionally they are animal friendly.
Although I find the smell pretty strong, which I haven't really experienced in a nail polish for quite a while, Toffee Apple* is a beautiful Red and although it is a little darker in real life to how it seems to have photographed, I have found it to be one of my most worn darker Reds.
Seeing as ingredients that often benefit application aren't included in the formula, application is really nice and drying time is super impressive, which is a something that I personally find to be a big factor when determining a good nail varnish from a bad one.
One thing that I'm not so keen on is the packaging of Jacava Londons products. I find the very extravagant and long bottle top does make application surprisingly comfortable but it's not really to my taste and is a little too over the top, taking up more space than I find necessary.
Jacava London polishes are available online and cost £14.50, which I personally do find pretty steep with "high end" polishes that are also nasty-free, being available for a similar price.
Have you tried any Jacava London polishes? Is Toffee Apple a shade you would wear?
That is such an amazing colour! A really lovely red.
