Nail Varnish > Opi Nail Varnish

Advantages: Gorgeous smell
Disadvantages: Expensive!

I got the Opi pedicure cream as part of a set from a friend who works in a salon. It was a miniature version and came in a cute little bottle. At first I wasn't too bothered about the cream and was too busy trying out the nail varnishes which came in the set, however when I did come to try it I was pleasantly surprised. It smells gorgeous, possibly one of the nicest smelling creams I've ever tried! The cream made my feet feel really smooth but wasn't ...
...my feet, and I felt happy to use it before going out somewhere as well as before bed. The amount to use would be personal choice but because the cream wasn't too thick I found I didn't have to use too much so a bottle would probably last quite a while. The cream did do what it promised and my feet instantly felt smoother and, despite only using a smaller bottle, after using frequently my feet did feel softer as a result. The only problem was when ... Read review

...of nail varnishes from the Boots 17 high gloss range to paint my newly grown and unbitten nails and one of them was this one. The shade is 'Miami' and is a hot pink colour. The varnish: The varnish as mentioned is from the 17 range and is one of the 'high gloss' shades which to me says it should be of a shiny and glossy like finish once painted on. I do find it has a shine to it but maybe not as much as I expected. The bottle: The varnish comes ...
...The varnish is available in Boots only, either in store or on their website and is priced at £2.79 per bottle. Sometime they run the offer where you can buy 2 bottles for £4 so this will save you a nice bit of money if you know you will be buying more than one shade. Overall opinion: I like this varnish as it is easy to apply and the brush is not too big so it makes it easier for people like me who are generally not very good at doing their own ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and nice colour
Disadvantages: Definitely need two coats

...the 'Natural collection' range from Boots and the shade is called i'm reviewing is called 'Cosmic Rush' The varnish: The varnish is a shade of deep purple with a very slight glittery shimmer to it. The varnish claims to be fragrance free which I can't understand as I can certainly smell it when I open up the bottle! It doesn't claim to be quick drying or glossy and so all the varnishes in this collection are the same and are mainly chosen for the ...
...varnish is only available from Boots in store at a price of £1.79 although they do offer a 3 for £5 which only works out you save 37p but any saving is better than none at all! Overall opinion: I think this nail varnish is ok for the price as it does its job but you cannot get away with just one layer as it's quite a thin consistency. The shade is nice and the shimmer adds that little extra to it so for the price it is a nice one to experiment ... Read review

...of my purchases from the Boots 17 range. This particular one is the shade 'Knockout red' and is from the fast finish collection. The varnish: The varnish as mentioned is from the 17 range and is one of the 'fast finish' shades which to me say's it should be a quick drying varnish. I did find it dried quite quickly but I cannot really say if it's because of the type as the others in the range seem to dry just as quickly but, it does dry fairly quickly ...

Advantages: Nice colour and easy to apply

...I had actually gone into Boots and bought 4 varnishes in one go! Three of these were the Boots 17 brand, one of which I am going to review now and is the shade 'Cocoa Cabana'. The varnish: The varnish as mentioned is from the 17 range and is one of the 'high gloss' shades which to me says it should be of a shiny and glossy like once painted on. The varnish is not too thick but not too runny either so is a nice consistency for painting nails. The ...
...from the name is a brown colour and actually does resemble the colour of a chocolate bar! It was partly the name that drew me to it! The colour is that of a deep brown but not as in a dark chocolate if that makes sense! The bottle: The varnish comes in a rather bog standard looking bottle - it has a cylinder type bottle that is about average for nail varnish at 12ml and has a navy coloured top that unscrews. The bottle is simple with just a clear ... Read review
