Nail Varnish brand OPI have recently brought out a new, shocking pink nail varnish as part of their India collection, named 'I'm India Mood for Love'. It's an extremely popular colour for this season and many celebrities including Madonna had apparently been on the waiting list for a bottle when it first came out. I have a bit of an obsession with nail varnish, I always have my toes painted no matter what, but although I do own some OPI polishes, their £9 price tag is a bit off putting. As much as I wanted a bottle of this hot pink polish, I managed to be sensible, reasoning that I would probably wear it once before putting it in a drawer and forgetting about it, so I ...  Read the complete review

Colour I'm reviewing : Cocoa Cabanna. When purchasing nail varnishes, I always choose colours that will go with clothing I have. I wear a lot of browns, corals, blacks and white so I don't want anything that won't go with those colours. The Nail Varnish: =============== I chose to buy a 17 nail polish called "cocoa cabanna" which is a dark brown. This range is called 'High Gloss' which seemed perfect for me as I love a nail varnish with a shine to it. I also bought a clear top coat from this 17 range just to lock the colour in and possibly make it last longer. I prepared my nails when I got home to try out the new ...  Read the complete review

I love the 17 range of nail varnishes as they are so cheap and come in funky vibrant colours. I have tried all three ranges the lasting finish, the fast fix and the high gloss, and they are all good in their own ways. The way I normally chose which range to buy is dictated by which colours they have on offer as my purchasing of nail varnishes is purely colour driven, whichever colour I have got into my head and decoided I HAVE to have. 17 never let me down they always seem to have the colour I need! Now, some colours don't need to be glossy, like the cute pastel colours which are fashionable at the moment they can get away with being softer and more muted. ...  Read the complete review

I used loads of nail varnish and many different colours too... Up until recently I only used to wear Black but now my tastes have broadened to include bright neon shades as well which look pretty funky... One of my favourite ranges of colours is Boots No17 High Gloss nail polish as it's really shiny and seems to last ok even when I'm tapping away on the laptop a lot. Sold in a little glass 12 ml bottle, these can often be found on offer in Boots where we shop for 3 for 2 - full cost £2.79 - so I usually do pretty well when the promotion is on ;) The bottles are short, stubby and rounded at the top with a black lid which ...  Read the complete review

This review is for 17 high gloss nail polish, my shade was risky red. This is currently available from boots for £2.73 and is on offer of buy one get one free on selected 17 products. The bottle is 12ml and is marked as flammable. Instructions: 'Nail colour for even, glossy shine. Shake well. Apple 2 coats for maximum coverage.' The bottle is your standard nail polish bottle, glass bottle with a plastic lid. I did find the lid very tough to open and at one point I must have resorted to using my teeth in desperation which has now marked the plastic lid with my teeth marks. The product is thick and not ...  Read the complete review
