Favourite brand and colour of nail polish

MandM90

I have Barry M, ASDA, Chanel, OPI and various others and notice no difference. I do wear gels though; that might be why!

There was a long thread on here about nails , maybe last year , could have been earlier . Set off my nail polish collection again . I have probably 100 + , from cheapies to Chanel . I quite like Sally Hansen ones . Don't find any last beyond 2-3 days even with undercoat and top coat but that may be my quick application of it . I like the idea of nude shades but don't feel they do much on my hands . I like purple/ violet/ pink shades for hands and a darker shade for toes . Depending on what I wear I have all colours , orange, blue, green etc and I like to change colour often .

Yes we had a thread running for ages then we decamped to our own forum. If anyone's interested we're here. Be prepared to spend far more money on nail polish than is strictly necessary though

I love No7 and Nails Inc but am more than happy to use the lovely choice of colours from Sinful Colours (from Boots). I have teenage daughters so our collection is growing by the week. But I have to say no matter what I do, I cannot get my polish to stay unchipped beyond 24 hours and will be grateful for any tips!

Im a Sally Hansen fan too.
I have been wearing acrylics for the last 12 years but stopped after i caught one and it ripped half of my nail off :-( Since then i have been using the Maximum Growth and a Sally Hansen colour on top (usually a nice bright pink or red) and my nails are really long and healthy now :-)

I use Nails Inc almost exclusively now.
I shop on eBay and get the magazine freebies, makes it much more affordable.

Barielle are my favourite brand, I buy them TK maxx but I cant find a black from them, plain black is my favourite colour on toes and fingers, I also like OPI and Essie, metallic always looks good (dark grey/silver or a black if I could find a decent one) and last well and I do love a greige tone. Brands I don't like are Nails Inc, Rimmel or anything made by Boots.

Highly recommend Korean brand Innisfree - 5 free nail polishes, good formula, crazy cheap at around £3 each including shipping (assuming you buy multiple).

Do you prefer.cheaper or more expensive brands and which colours do you prefer?

anything - its kind of my fetish, I just like seeing a load of nail colours on my bedroom shelf (I paint my toenails more than my fingernails). I don't spend any more than £3 per bottle, ever, on a nail polish (I use vouchers, or I buy half price or clearance lines etc).

Right now one of my favourites is Boots No7 in Salsa (its a true red with a hint of sunkissed gold about it - my daughter is a fan of the colour too).

I like Sally Hansen too, and I always look out for them in the poundshops.
