Topshop: Nail Varnishes

I’ve developed a rather unhealthy obsession recently withTopshop , but this time it’s not their clothes (although at one point, that’sall my wardrobe consisted of, I now think they’re WAY too overpriced. Anyhoo…),it’s their makeup range! It’s surprisingly affordable, and the quality isexcellent. I’ll no doubt be tapping away on my keyboard about their otherproducts, but I firstly wanted to introduce to you the nail varnish.

Now, nail varnish is probably the only beauty product I’msensible with when it comes to purchasing. With anything else, if I like onething, I like the whole lot & I buy it all as soon as I am physically able;with nail varnish I limit myself, and only purchase a new one (or two), onceI’ve used the first one up. This is purely due to the fact, that if I have toomany polishes open at one time, I just won’t use them & they’ll end up allgross and gloopy. Blergh. So, on that note, these are my two new(ish) polishesfrom Topshop:

Big Smoke

Parma Violet (please ignore my half eaten thumb, i must've been hungry..)

Big Smoke doesn’t seem to be on their website, I did receivethis as a gift, so there’s a chance it may have been a limited edition (orsomething to that effect).  However, youcan purchase the Parma Violet one here.These ones were only £5, & I believe the most you’d pay for any others wouldbe approximately £8; I think this is a reasonable price, given the quality ofthe product. But forgetting the cost, how cuuuuute is the packaging? I love it! Really simple, but pretty too. Now, moving on to what's actually inside the lovely packaging; the consistency is quite thin, which does mean you need to applymore layers, but it decreases the chances of the product getting too gunky. Thebrush is a pretty much perfect size and fans out really nicely on application(I cannot stand thin nail brushes) & I’d say between 2-3 coats woulddo you nicely. My favourite bit about the polishes is the non-chipping-ness(yes, yes I did just make up a word); I always struggle to find an affordablenail varnish that doesn’t chip as soon as my heavy handed paws do anything, & I think this is the first one that has stayed put, non-chipped, for morethan a week. I’m so impressed with these bad boys, & I’ll definitely bepurchasing a few more. As soon as these ones run out of course ;)

Have you lovely lot tried out Topshop’s nail varnish rangeyet? Or do you have any colours you’d recommend?
