*INTRODUCTION* This is a review of the nail varnishes I have tried from the Collection 2000 range. Collection 2000 are a brand made by the cosmetics company Constance Carroll, who are located in lovely Skelmersdale in the north west, not far from where my nan lives! (In case you're interested, i've seen the house of the owner and it's pretty impressive. He has deer and everything). They aim to produce low priced but good value products which I think are targeted more towards the younger end of the scale. It was a godsend to me when I first started to buy makeup products with my £5 a week pocket money! In this review I'm going ...  Read the complete review

Being the huge Barry M fan I am, back in the summer I decided I wanted to buy the Neon Pink nail varnish. There I was with it in hand, when I spotted the same colour by Collection 2000. Barry M is a relatively value brand (I think their nail varnish was around the £5 mark) but Collection 2000 is cheap as chips, and given that most nail varnishes (no matter what there claim) tend to be a bit rubbish at living up to them I decided that if the colour was the same I may as well go for the £1.49 option! Seriously, it's £1.49! The bottle is only tiny, holding just 8mls of the product, but I have honest to god never actually used up a nail varnish in my life, so this ...  Read the complete review

Collection 2000 is a little advertised brand which represents very good value for money throughout their extensive range of products. It is normally sold in Superdrug and Boots stores nationwide. The nail varnish I have at the minute is in the "Hot Looks" range which we are told on the bottle is of the fast drying variety! It is not the fastest drying nail varnish I have used but I suppose it is quite speedy, I am just a little impatient! I have been wearing Number 3. Diva which is a very rich, bright red shade. The little bottle cost me £1.49 and you get 8mls of the product in there. I bought it over the summer and I'm still using it ...  Read the complete review

One of the nurses at work decided for their last shift to have a sunshine day, which meant everyone had to wear yellow or orange. I don't own any clothes in these colours so I was a bit stuck until the day before when I had the idea that I could just paint my nails yellow. I do have rather a lot of nail polishes in pretty much every colour you could imagine, but I was a bit worried that my yellow and orange ones would be so old that they would have gone a bit funny. I had popped into Tesco on my way home from work and decided to take a look at their cosmetic section to see what I could find just in case mine were unusable. I wasn't really expecting to find anything but ..  Read the complete review

I am back in the mood for painting my nails again, I go through little phases you see, I can go for months and only wear clear varnish on my nails and then go through stages where I can’t enter Boots or Superdrug without buying nice new colours. And yesterday morning I visited Superdrug at Glasgow Central on my way to work and they had a little offer on their Collection 2000 range, buy a trio eyeshadow (£2.19) and a mascara (£1.99) and receive a nail varnish worth £1.79 free, if you were buying the nail varnish anyway it means for only an extra £2.39 you can also have both these products, too good an offer to refuse, well for me anyway and with Christmas ...  Read the complete review
