I’ve heard of Darling nail polishes on the interwebz for quite some time now. Their pastels have always intrigued me but somehow I never did buy any to try. Hmm … I wonder why.
Anyway, at the Beauty Bloggers Utopia weekend, I finally got the opportunity to try one out. Heather, founder of the Hello Darling, brought out a big box of different coloured nail polishes and told us to pick one each. I had my eye on this lovely coral pastel and grabbed at it hard as though I discovered the last pair of shoes in my size in a sample sale. Ahem. π
Behold, the Bellini. It’s a very pretty and creamy shade of coral.
It comes in an easy-to-apply formula. The first coat did seem to drag a little but the second covered the imperfections and the result was a glossy sheen on the nails. Tip wear came in after 3 days even with tip-wrapping, which was a tad disappointing.
Still, I’m game to get my grabby hands on more shades from Darling. I have my eyes set on the Lanikai and Max. Time to finally click the checkout button! π
Darling Nail Polish in Bellini retails at $18.95 and is available at HelloDarling.com.au. Darling nail lacquers are 3-free (no toulene, formaldehyde/formaldehyde resin, DBP or camphor) and are animal testing & cruelty free.
PS: Please tell me you got the Hello Dolly reference from the title. God, I’m old π
That’s such a cute colour! I still love corals and think they are the best shades to wear in Spring and Summer. And yes, I got the Hello, Dolly reference probably because we are, ahem… of the same generation.

It’s so pretty, right? When my eyes fell on this, I was a woman on a mission trying to get my grubby hands on this π
It’s a pretty and girly colour, and I agree with Lyn, it would make a nice colour to wear in spring. Also, it looks better on the nails than it did the bottle, no? π

Naww you π So glad to know it looks better on the nails than it did on the bottle π
Love this Coral shade and that it’s free of nasty chemicals.
At $18.95 it’s disappointing that it wore off the tips after 3 days – but then, I don’t wrap myself in cotton wool after painting my nails at home – it’s usually coming off after 2 days once it starts to chip!
The longevity of the nail polish could definitely be better. Then again, I don’t leave nail polish on longer than 4 days so it’s okay for me π
