Totally Turmeric by Topshop Review


Yellow. A colour that most people with overly pale skin try to avoid. I've sometimes hated on my complexion for making it difficult to pull off the ultimate spring/summer shade. However, I think I've found the perfect compromise in one of Topshop's newest shades: Totally Turmeric. The colour of the varnish in the bottle appears, in my opinion, to be exactly midway between orange and yellow. However, once a few coats have been applied (which I feel is necessary due to the formula), the colour shifts just that slightly towards orange, and becomes... well I guess, totally turmeric! Haha, sorry about that. But I do really love this shade, and feel like my skin colour looks acceptable next to it as the orange tones make sure that there's contrast between the varnish and my skin. I've already worn this a few times, and my favourite colour to pair it with is navy. A surprising combination, but one that just really seems to work. I can't wait to wear this more throughout the summer months!


Have you found a new favourite varnish for summer?

    1. It really is! I felt like I could justify adding it to my extensive nail varnish, because so far I only had oranges and yellows ;) x

    1. That sounds so pretty! I love glitter on a white base too! Clear glitter on white is my go-to for Winter. Looks just like snow :) x

    1. Thanks for following :) I tried checking out your blog but it just takes me to a GoDaddy page :( Did you try buying your own domain? Maybe your .blogspot site isn't redirecting properly? x
