After deciding I needed to refresh my nail polish collection I decided I would try some bolder colours. I normally go for the muted pastel tones of pink and purple on my fingernails reserving my vibrant blues and purples for my toes. I'm not sure why I do this but I figured I'd like a change. So I toddled off to the No.17 counter - my favourite for nail polishes. I had a wide spectrum of shades to pick from and decided to go fro the Fast Finish range. I tend to be very clumsy once I have applied nail polish and usually smudge some while it's drying so the appeal of a one coat polish that dries in 60 seconds sounded less problematic The Fast Finish range comes ...  Read the complete review

- Price & Colour Range - Currently priced at a lowly £2.99 per 8ml standard bottle of varnish although it's worth looking out for 3 for 2 offers which Boots regularly have which is when I bought mine. 19 shades available in a range of colours: pink, yellow, grey, raspberry , red, purple, blue etc. For ideas of the colours on offer in this range visit the Boots website although it has to be said that the colour of my choice, 'Gemstone' is much darker than is shown on the colour swatch. - What is it? - The back of the bottle boasts that this varnish gives high shine colour with just one coat and dries in 60 seconds. ...  Read the complete review

I think it is fair to say I am nail polish obsessed. I have never counted my nail polishes because I know I would be disgusted with myself at the final amount! I do have my favourite brands, but I am willing to try any brand of nail polish if the colour is right. I own three 17 Fast Finish nail polishes - one of which I purchased, the other two were received as part of a gift set I got free when buying other 17 products. ==Colours== The Boots website lists nineteen colours, although there may be more as of my three only one is listed. With so much choice you are bound to find something to your taste. They cater for those who like pale pastels, to ...  Read the complete review

As one of the Boots 17 range staples, this range has stood the test of time and decades of teenagers with demanding high fashion tastes. The fast finish range is my particular favourite of their ranges as it does what it says on the bottle, it dries faster than the regular polish range. I have also found with the shades I've tried that I haven't had to use more than 1-2 coats to get a good even coverage, saving a little more time as some polishes have required 3 coats to look even. The polish is touch dry on my nails within 10 minutes so that I can get on with other things and is completely set within the hour. It also stays on the nail well and doesn't chip ...  Read the complete review

I've never been a girl who is into painting her nails, but recently I have decided its about time that I made an effort with things like that. Being summer (well, an English summer anyway!) I've been wearing sandals a lot and because of this, I've made an attempt to look after my feet, and this means painting my toe nails with some of the weird and wonderful colours out there... no boring old red and pink for me! I went straight to Boots and their 17 collection for my first few polishes because of the colours, and the latest addition to my collection is 17 Fast Finish in Peacock. The nail polish comes in a small glass bottle with a matt black lid and brish, ...  Read the complete review
