OPI La Paz-itively Hot

Another of my oldie-but-goodies! I have worn this polish many times over the last 11 years and it still draws compliments. It is not your standard pink creme; there is a very subtle purple shimmer. Like most OPI polishes, it has great longevity and only needs removing once nail regrowth starts to show.

It cheers me up through these miserable winter months!

OPI Nice Hands... Great Nails

So here is a review of another of my ancient polishes; this polish is 10 years old and is still going strong! It has the smaller OPI brush that I prefer and applies very smoothly. These pictures were taken after the polish had been on a week, with only the nail edge repainted and an extra coat of top coat for maintenance- excellent durability.

The polish is orange, but has is muted my a soft shimmer; the photos make it look more garish than it really is.

Avon Nailwear Pro Lucky Penny

So, another of my Christmas loot:

This polish is quite astonishing: I put had it on for 8 days. No chipping, no dulling, no hassle. In fact, I only removed it as I was getting a bit bored with it. It is vibrant copper metallic and will look gorgeous in the autumn.

Avon Speed Dry+ Lime Splatter

I received 6 Avon polishes for Christmas, so I will attempt to review a couple of them in the coming weeks. I started with Lime Splatter as I have not got a similar colour in my collection. For some reason I have not really worn green polishes before and I have to say: I love it! It is a very unusual creme pastel lime-green, very different to the minty greens that were popular in 2012.

When I applied the first coat it streaked and I thought, "Oh no, this doesn't bode well!" I needn't have worried. The second coat went on a treat with excellent coverage. I received so many compliments when wearing it too!
