I put this on a few days ago as I needed a bit of a change and even though it's black and not really appropriate for summer, I just love it.
I try to stick to darker shades for my nails during autumn and winter, if you didn't see, I did a post all about this last year. I just think the colder months really suit colours like dark red, black, mustard, dark blues etc. When it starts getting close to summer, I always go for the pastel colours but when I was looking, I just couldn't find any I wanted to wear. I had a pastel yellow one on for about 2 days and then it started chipping and gradually got worse. I really need to invest in some new ones soon!
I decided to go for my trusty Barry M - Espresso. It just lasts for so long and I think it looks great on. I know this sounds really soppy but the weekend we got engaged I had black nail polish on so when I wear it, it always reminds me of that and the first picture I took of my engagement ring. I think this colour looks best with it too to be honest!
I've always loved Barry M products, especially their Gelly High Shine Nail Polish. I didn't realise until I bought Espresso that it was actually matte and I hate matte nails. It makes me feel funny, so I topped it with the Barry M Base Coat, Top Coat and Nail Hardener which gives a lovely shine.

I've got a coral coloured Rimmel one that just makes everything feel so much more summery!
