17 High Gloss Nail Polish

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

17 high gloss nail polish One of my more recent purchases, now that I have decided to paint my nails with coloured rather than clear polish. Probably not a wise move given the job I do, but never mind! The nail varnish itself comes in the usual nail polsh type of glass pot, and promises to give even glossy shine. I open up the bottle by unscrewing the top, and get the usual nail varnish smell and brush. The brush is quite small and so I think will be easy to manage, because often the brushes are quite big and I end up getting the stuff all over. When I first apply the nail polish to my nails, I find that the small brush does in fact ...  Read the complete review

I don't really think of myself as a girly girl and don't really buy a lot of cosmetics. I am not one for normally going out and buying nail varnish either as I bite my nails and shock horror, even sometimes the skin around them!! Yes you heard me right! So recently I've been surprised myself to realise that my nails have actually grown quite a bit and because of this it has spurred me on not to bite at them or the surrounding skin. To help me in this quest I decided to actually go out and buy some pretty nail varnishes that I could then use to highlight how nice my hands would look if I stopped biting them all together! My husband and best friend were both ...  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

Well along with handbags nail varnish is another addiction of mine I have to admit I have quite a few! I wanted a new darker coloured nail varnish so I popped into Boots and noticed a nice chocolatey colour by 17 called High Gloss Nail Polish there was also a sticker saying new precision brush. So I thought I would give it a go. The price was £2.91 and the colour I decided on was cocoa berry. I normally stick to paler colours but I was feeling brave. The bottle is the same size as most nail polishes which is 10ml, the directions on the back say to shake well and to apply two coats for maximum coverage. When I first opened it I was ...  Read the complete review
