Watermelon Pink Lips & Tips for Valentines Day with Impress Press-On Manicure & MAC Impassioned Lipstick

With all the reds going on on Valentine’s Day, here’s a new idea to break from the mold. 

It is using almost neon watermelon pink as a substitute, for both your lips and nails. I have Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails in 100 Ecstatic Cling* which is a bright neon pinky coral that photographs a lot more pink in pictures, and MAC Impassioned Lipstick (one of my favourite lipsticks from MAC’s permanent collection) that instantly brightens ones complexion. This lipstick works pretty much on every skintone - I have yet to see someone who this colour would not suit!

MAC Impassioned Lipstick is a very bright rich and vibrant watermelon pinky red. It comes with MAC's Amplified Creme finish that is highly pigmented and long-wearing. It is super bright and best paired with  a flawless face and toned down neutrals for eyes to draw attention to the beautiful shade that is Impassioned. It is definitely eye-catching and complexion-brightening, and when worn right, will be unforgettable!

The Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails* come in 12 sizes to suit your nail length. You can find the size numbers on the bottom of the nails.  I have tiny hands and wear the smallest gloves available - size 5.5 when I'm in theatre! The sizes for each nail I have used are:

Thumb – 1

Index Finger – 5 (perhaps I should have used a 6)

Middle Finger – 6

Ring Finger – 8

Little Finger – 11

Since I started working as a doctor, I’ve barely been able to colour my fingernails, much less grow them long. And so these Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails* come particularly handy for special occasions for instantly long nails with no strings attached. Fuss free application, all you need to do is wash your hands, dry your nails, wipe them with the pre-press on material, choose your size for the nail, peel off the plastic and stick on the corresponding nail. Easy peasy and they are said to last up to a week (but unfortunately I can't test this!).

Overall I am impressed by Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails* (see what I did there? ;) ) and will perhaps continue to use these for special days. The 100 Ecstatic Cling (£5.99) is a great match for MAC Impassioned Lipstick (£15).
