Is there a certain 'make' of nail varnishes that you like, and buy the same make all the time? Or do you have a mix n match of them?

My fave is BarryM, they are awsome! There is looooooads to collect, from normal colours to instant effects, to gelly shine! I buy a few of BarryM nail varnishes every few weeks :smile:

Here is my collection; (yes i took a photo of them all soo you could see how much love i have for BarryM! :smile:) i have 32 alltogether! :bigsmile:

    I like Nails Inc. they cost a little more but last forever and are constantly introducing trendy new colours.

    OPI is my favorite. I love the colors and it lasts a teeny bit longer on my weak, brittle nails than any other polish. I don't recall seeing it anywhere in the UK, though.

    I've got some and they're awesome! They stock them in most department stores or some online beauty stockists like LookFantastic. You can get collections from QVC that save a lot of money if you want a few.

    Dammit, you made me Google OPI's new Bond range and now I want it :grumble:

    You can get it on QVC I think :)

    Now I'm looking at Sephora online. As soon as I get back to the states, all my money is going toward nail polish. I can feel it.

    I'm loving Mavala at the minute, 3 for 2 at Boots and they do mini bottles so you can easily slip one into your cosmetic bag. I also like Max Factor and Chanel.

    Those I would NEVER buy again are Yves Saint Laurent and Estee Lauder, I found both to have very little pigment so took about 6 coats AND they were awkward to hold.

    I love Essie's color collections, but I dont like their brush very much,its so thin.

    OPI or the Sephora OPI are prob my favorite. So many nice colors and a good consistency for painting

    Nicole OPI is terrible though, I find it chips very easy :(

    For colour selection and cost Barry M beats everything hands down! I LOVE them!!!!!! They last a good week without chipping too :happy: I've got about 40 Barry M colours - I look every few weeks to see what's new and at one point had every colour they sold! The magnetic range is quite good but i've not really been tempted by the chameleon ones as i always wear a topcoat so they seem a bit pointless! I'm not a massive fan of glitter and the new range seems to be just this....might cave in and give it a whirl though since it's Barry! :love:
    For more expensive range you can't really beat Chanel - but they are a MAJOR treat! Essie and Avon have a good colour range and last quite well too!

    LA colors at 99P a bottle with there top coat the varnish lasts about a week.
    I have tried Barry M twice before and I hated the consistancy, it was really thick and went on my nails really streaky

    I am a nail polish addict, it's bad! My Youtube Channel really shows my addiction :) I love painting nails!

    My favorite is OPI, I have about 59 bottles of OPI. But I have a mix of other polishes as well, 32 bottles of mixed brands.

    My mix includes Sally Hansen, China Glaze, Ulta, Sinful Colors, and a few that I'm not sure of the brand.

    I'm wearing Lincoln Park After Dark on my nails right now :)

    Sally Hansen (especially insta-dry) and OPI are my two faves. MAC makes great colors, but the polish is REALLY thick.

    My faves are probably Sally Hansen and Barry M. I have lots of different brands in my HUGE collection...last count was 400 plus. (I trained as a nail tech and nail artist so I have an excuse)

    Rimmel cheap and cheerful seems to be the longest lasting one ive tried. Never tried OPI uk doesnt sell it in the stores. Nails Inc is overpriced rubbish. I got a huge batch of them and it chips like hell so i sold them all on ebay.
    NYC cheap crap stuff with glitter in it is the longest lasting polish ive ever had. Lasts a full week while im at work where i handle money/coins all the time and doesnt chip.

    Mine are a mixture of OPI, Orly and Chanel. Although despite the Chanel ones being so expensive, I find they chip so easily!
    I'd love to try the Essie ones, apparantly they're incredible! And I reaally want a Shellac manicure! My friend got it done the other day and it looks great. I'm just scared I'd be stuck with red nails for 2 weeks and would want to wear like a light pink dress or something and would look weird! x

    Forever 21 polishes last surprisingly long! They always have a great color selection. I like China Glaze as well.

    I like whatever's pretty or sparkly...whether it costs $1 or $10. I rarely buy $10 polish tho.......but if it catches my eye and I can afford it at the time..I'll get it. I change polish wayyy too often to grab more expensive brands.

    I have done my own nails since I was twelve. I find La colors not bad and cheap, the only con about it is it takes forever to dry. Where can you buy Barry M.? Opi or china glaze would be my top picks.
