I know the summer is nearly over (boo!) but I still wanted to share two new additions to my gigantic nail polish collection, Samarkand and Trinidad are part of the Mavala chili and spice collection which is a great collection of shades that are a perfect match for me, you can see the full collection here.
I have really enjoyed wearing both of these shades, however just to warn you I found that the purple shade stained my nails pink (better than yellow though) and I don't know why but the blue shade didn't have a great longevity and chipped/peeled after one day, I have no idea why there was a difference between the two. I also thought that Trinidad was a more denim blue shade than the vibrant colour it appears in the bottle.
I really love these colours and will definitely be still wearing them in the autumn, I think they will be great with a matte top coat.
