Essie Nail Varnish

Advantages: It makes my nails look really healthy and shiny
Disadvantages: It takes about 5 minutes to dry

...I paid £8.50 for a 15ml bottle of Essie Ballet Slippers Varnish. I've used Essie nail polish before and I thought it gave fantastic results and made my nails look great. The Ballet slippers colour is great for someone who has pale skin. The varnish Goes on and stays on better than any other nail polish I have used. It doesn't chip easily, and continues to stay shiny and fresh looking for days. Essie has a variety of beautiful colours to choose from but this is defiantly my favourite. I prefer this colour because it's a subtle pale pink so it doesn't look over the top when I'm going out shopping. The Application is as follows... It's Very easy to do I recommend that you that you apply the varnish by painting a strip in the middle of the nail and then two strips at either side. I had to wait quiet a while to apply my second...

Essie Bootleg - An Autumn Staple

Advantages: Classy colour, perfect finish, easy to apply
Disadvantages: Price

... Me and my nail polish We have a deep and long lasting relationship, do nail polish and I. Or would I say I have an unhealthy addiction? Either way, it extends to me owning just a few over 50 different colours and wearing a different one on my fingers and toes every day just to try and make use of this vast collection. Currently I have 10 different shades of pink on each of my toenails. I am also demanding. Where I work there is lots of opening of boxes and various other manual finger work to be done, which means any chip prone formulas are a no no. I justify my vast collection due to my true appreciation of the colours, too. Whether its to coordinate with an outfit, the weather or a mood, I want a nail polish for all occasions!! Why Essie? Essie is a very reputable nail polish brand, one that may be described as...

GOOD STUFF ESSIE

Advantages: GOOD RESULTS
Disadvantages: WHILE TO DRY

...I paid £8.50 for a 15ml bottle of Essie Ballet Slippers Varnish. I've used Essie nail polish before and I thought it gave fantastic results and made my nails look great. The Ballet slippers colour is great for someone who has pale skin. Other shades in the Essie range are: Tomboy no more, damsel in a dress, bold and beautiful and forever young. The varnish Goes on and stays on better than any other nail polish I have used. It doesn't chip easily, and continues to stay shiny and fresh looking for days. Essie has a variety of beautiful colours to choose from but this is defiantly my favourite. I prefer this colour because it's a subtle pale pink so it doesn't look over the top when I'm going out shopping. The Application is as follows...

Opi Nail Varnish (Atomic Orange)

Advantages: Bold colour,only needs one coat,easy to apply
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, hard to find in shops

...I decided to buy this nail varnish after having a disaster on holiday where I dropped my full bottle of Jessica coral nail varnish on the villa floor spilling the entire contents over my leg and the floor! : ( I liked the Jessica colour but I wanted something more orange?after searching the whole Jessica range and not finding anything I tried the Opi nail varnishes and found the 'Atomic Orange' colour, which looked bright orange! I wouldn't have had the next idea about where to find Opi nail varnishes, other than beauty salons which was where I had first noticed the brand. So rather than buying off the official site I tried ebay and found the right colour on there for £6 inc postage, which seemed a lot cheaper that anywhere else. Packaging I was a bit worried whether it would be the same colour it looked on the internet...

NYC long wearing nail varnish - Long wearing? Pfft...

Advantages: Vibrant, funky colours, very easy to apply and doesn'y go gloopy :)
Disadvantages: Chips very easily, sometimes within minutes of applying :(

...I love wearing nail varnish as I think it really completes an outfit and just makes you feel a bit more glamourous! When I first discovered NYC Long Wearing Nail Varnish I was strolling through Superdrug with some friends, annoying them at how long I was taking to find a red nail varnish because I was fussing about not wanting to spend too much but getting a good quality one. After some persuasion, I decided to buy this on the basis that it was only for one night and didn't really matter that much if it was rubbish quality. I bought it in shade 135, Love Me Red Creme. I had heard of New York Colours before but I thought it was a bit of a cheap and cheerful brand. My perception of it was confirmed when I saw the price tag of only £1.99, so I wasn't expecting it to be that good at all. My favourite nail varnish brand is Barry M but...

Chanel Nail Varnish Rouge Noir & Tulipe Noir

Advantages: Just gorgeous colours
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to remove!

...Perfectly packaged and £14 ish a 13ml bottle of CHANEL nail polish is a a brilliant present for a girlfriend or family member - every woman loves to recieve CHANEL, however big or small!! Personally I wear the darker coulours.. Rouge Noir (made famous by Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction) and a slightly lighter more metalic dark red Tulipe Noir. Best bits These are very rich colours have a wonderfully glossy finish and are very easily applied (I always twist a tiny bit of cotton wool around the sharp end of a wooden coctail stick & soak it in nail varnish remover to tidy up the edges as darker colours can be tricky!) And the nail varnish itself doesn't seem to go sticky when kept for a while, unlike other brands that I have had in the past. When applied properly - I always get asked where I have had my nails done!! I do use 2...

An essie Messy

Advantages: Still has the durability of the other essie products
Disadvantages: colour and drying time

...So having recently confessed to an addiction to Nail varnish I?ve decided to carry on with my experience of the essie range and this time a negative experience with the Varnish. I?d recently bought myself a brand new dress for an evening function I?d been invited to and having found a suitable lipstick in my collection, set about finding a nail varnish. Now I?ve bought between 10 and 15 different bottles of essie varnishes in different colours, so I thought finding an off creamy colour wouldn?t be too hard. In the past I?ve been able to pick up a bottle of essie and be able to feel confident that the colour it appears in the bottle is the colour that?ll appear on my nails. So with this in mind I bought myself a bottle of Essie Mademoiselle as it seemed to be just the right sort of shade for the dress I was now in possession of. Unlike...

Review of Essie Mademoiselle Varnish

An Essie Quickie!!!

Advantages: Shade looks exactly like it does in the bottle. Good durability
Disadvantages: A little bit more than the normal brands

...I recently discovered the Essie nail varnish range during a lunch time stop off in the Body Shop. It?s starting to get dangerous this obsession I have with that place but I still can?t walk past without going in and buying something. So as they were offering two of these bottles of Nail varnish for £8, normally £4.99 each I not only got one to go with my new lipstick but also one to match my Lancome Rouge Magentic lipstick as well. So I decided my second bottle should be this, Essie?s A List varnish. Now obviously this was a bit of a gamble as having never used the Essie range before, spending £8 on two rather than sampling one first was a bit of a gamble. It is a gamble I always take and thankfully with the Essie range it is one that has certainly paid off. The shade of the A List varnish was exactly what I was looking for, well...

Review of Essie A List Varnish

Chocolate Kisses Nail Varnish from The Body Shop

Advantages: good unique colour, tasty name and is animal friendly!
Disadvantages: expensive, smells bad

...Divinely named and luciously chocolately looking you can easily be forgiven for mistaking this for a bottle of milk belgian chocolate sauce. Although eating it is not advised and upon opening you'll soon be put off by the pungent chemical smell. This little 15ml bottle of nail polish was purchased from The Body Shop for a ridiously extreme price of £4.99. Which is expensive when you consdier I can pick up a rimmel 60 seconds and go nail polish for around £3 in asda. What attrached me to this though is the name 'chocolate kisses' it just sounded nice. I trailed a bit on my thumb using an instore tester and was impressed by the ease of application, no lumping and created an even spread. The colour once dried, helped by wafting alot, set to a nice light, almost hot chocolately brown. I decided to purchase it anyway as a bit of a treat...
