fab nail polish !

Morning all,

Just thought I'd share with you all - I usually use high end nail polish ie OPI, Leigton Denny, YSL etc, but times are hard !! So this week I got a couple of bottle from George @sda, OMG, they are fantastic.

I have a job that is hard on the hands, and a couple of coats has lasted 3 days so far with out chipping. There is a fab range of colours and best of all just £1.50 a go !!

Hope this encourages someone else to try them out.

MM

    I love Asda.

    I bought a nail polish from the bargain bin bit. It's the perfect grey and set me back a massive 38p! :eek:

    Unfortunately it takes 3 coats to get it nice and opaque but for 38p, you can't complain.

    I love the asda ones, sometimes they have offers on it and makes it even more worthwhile. I like it better than some of my OPI's , and at 1.50 each they're pretty good! nice choice of colours as well

    Good tip. I tend to use rimmel (a suggestion from some of the fashionistas here :)) and also find it very good

    . Just reporting back and the polish had lasted until today . .had a couple of chips but these were due to opening a can of coke and a tin of soup !! Well impressed and will be going back for more !

    Have bought 3 different shades on your recommendation and so far so good! Colour range is fantastic and it went on well :)

    i love having lots of diff nail varnishs. ( i change my colour daily to match my outfits,lol) but we don't have an asda on isle of wight. we have heard tho we should be getting one just 2 mins down road for me. so if it happens i will def check out their range of enamals. i use vie or avon ones mainly at the mo. and i love avon one's, but at £6 each i can get 4 from asda . so sounds good to me.

    Do you not find that really hard on your nails though? I'm experimenting with wearing nail varnish at weekends cos if I wear it all the time (even clear) it really dries my nails out...so now I really work on keeping them moisturised during the week - I have hand cream everywhere - and treat them at weekends. Do you have some sort of routine that keeps nails in good condition even with wearing it all the time?

    not really. i always take it off at night and i then put it on in morning depending on what outfit i'm wearing. i always use a clear nail varnish under the colour . having said that i tend not to wear as much in the winter just the clear. haven't ever really thoguht about it . i use a cuticle balm from avon and i always mositurise my whole body , generally with just a baby lotion as i love it.
  • Try Solar Oil on your nails to keep them nourished, even when you have nail enamel on.

    are the asda nail varnishes with the george clothes or are they in the cosmetic aisle?

    also, on the subject of nail stuff... can anyone recommend a good clear base coat?
