One of my beauty obsessions is nail varnish. I love having painted nails and doing a bit of nail art when I have time too. I'm not sure that I could ever have enough nail varnish...!
I've picked up a few new nail varnishes over the past couple of weeks and thought I'd share with you what I've bought!
Left to right:
George by Asda Quick Dry Nail Varnish in Jeopardy and Smarty Pants / Topshop Nail Varnish in Valley / Barry M Textured Nail Effects Nail Paint in Ridley Road and Atlantic Road / Models Own Nail Varnish in Freak Out
As you can probably tell, I'm loving the colour green right now! I think mint green is going to be my favourite colour for Spring/Summer.
I really recommend George by Asda nail varnish; for only £1.75 you get a nice and thick, quick drying formula. They have a fab colour range as well! I can't wait to try the Topshop and Models Own varnishes as I'm a big glitter fan. The Topshop one is very subtle and will be perfect for daytime, whereas the Models Own one really stands out and for me, has that wow factor. I love Models Own Disco Mix, so Freak Out is a perfect addition to my collection.
Now onto the Barry M Textured Nail Effects... I'm having a bit of a love/hate relationship with these. I love the gritty texture and the beautiful, bright colours. However I didn't think about the fact that you can't wear a top coat with these if you want the gritty effect, so they started chipping less than a day after I applied them. I wish I had only bought the one now, I think they're a bit of a novelty really.
