Forever


Do you ever come across a nail varnish that you like so much that you find yourself looking down at your hand more is normal/reasonable? I find that I go so far as to 'pose' my hand, and hold it out as I stare appreciatively at my newly manicured nails. If you don't do this, I probably sound like a complete nutter. If you do {and I'm hoping you do} then you'll know this kind of strange behaviour only really happens when you have come across a nail varnish that you love. 

This is one of those nail varnishes. It's the perfect beige nude shade that makes your fingers look effortlessly elegant and elongated {hello alliteration!}.  It's the kind of go to everyday nail varnish that is totally appropriate for a work environment where you still want to look polished. The colour has no glitter or shimmer in it and the two coats I needed went on evenly and easily. I have to admit, I had assumed I might need 3 coats for a decent coverage so I was pleasantly surprised.

It dries quickly and is also surprisingly hard wearing. I'm quite bad at giving my nails a hard time of it - I don't think twice about washing up, opening things etc. so for it to still last a couple of days, I'm impressed {a couple of days by my standards is a decent window!}. It's by 17 and is part of their "lasting Fix" range of polishes, and for £2.99 I think it is an absolute steal. It's been a while since I've used 17 nail varnishes and I'm so pleasantly surprised I will definitely be trying out some of their other colours. I'm always on the look out for good nail varnishes that don't break the bank!

Skull & Glossbones



I had to tell you about this gorgeous OPI polish that I managed to pick up online for under £7 {bargain - whoop!}. I'll be honest, I loved the colour in the bottle, hated the first coat then adored the final product. It's a gorgeous light grey, really rich in colour. It will definitely be making plenty of appearances come Autumn {can you tell I'm a little obsessed already?}.

Want to see some of others I want to add to my collection?

{Essie's Merino Cool, Sew Psyched, Velvet Voyeur}


{OPI's a-taupe the space needle}

Any favourite colours that I should know about? 
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Love B x
