    I got min at a large Asd@ Living store near me . . I have looked in my local Asd@ and they only seem to sell the really cheap ones in the plastic bags - the ones I got were in a 'Revlon' shaped bottle IFKWIM - trying a hot pick one for this weekend called 'GROOVE'
  • Thanks, OP. I usually use OPI or China Glaze and love changing the colour on my toes, so I'll give the Asda ones a whirl next time I'm in there.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    It's true, Rimmel lasts much longer than Revlon for example.

    Not tried Asda as yet.
    Good tip. I tend to use rimmel (a suggestion from some of the fashionistas here :)) and also find it very good

  • jcr16, you take your polish off every night and put fresh on every morning? Now you are making me feel bad, mine is usually on for about a week! I use OPI and it doesn't normally chip, and if it does, I just dab a little on the chip to make it last.

    I wore nail polish solidly for a couple of months after trapping my fingertip in a back-of-seat tray on a train and getting one of those ugly bruises that take forever to grow out.

    My nails became horribly flaky and kept breaking off. I decided it must be the polish that was causing it as they are usually quite strong. I bought some Holland & Barrett Skin, Hair & Nails tablets and I think they helped a bit but it took ages for them to get strong again.

    Anyway I've been to a wedding today wearing Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Stars polish (cost me 10p in a charity shop) and it looks fab and was as good as it promised and did dry in around a minute. Of course being from a charity shop it might be discontinued or something, but I would recommend it. Remains to be seen whether it weakens my nails again, but I'll probably take it off tomorrow.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Loving ASDA nail polish and Im the kind of lass who has to have perfect nails

    I caught on to it when it was on offer at a £1 a bottle

    Now some bottles are better then others I have to say. The !!!!!! red is a dream - one coat and the job is done. However the pearlised pinks and purples need at least two coats - but at that price who cares

    and they last (with base coat and top coat as i would any varnish) - between 3 and 5 days here - working in a bar

    looks a bit wishy washy in the bottle but goes on quite think and opaque, put 2 coats on and looks a bit 'fluro' but hey brightens up the day and I know it will last til the weekend when I need something more 'matchy'

    enjoy polish lovers !!
