H and M - Peppermint Fusion

Hello dear readers,

I've bought a few H and M nail polishes recently, this is one of them. Peppermint Fusion. H and M do some fab colours, cheap plus the bottles ain't weeny like some other high street polishes (Topshop I'm pointing at you).

Flash 

This is 3 coats of Peppermint Fusion, a cornflower blue with blue shimmer. Super pretty. Bit sheer but builds up nicely. I think this was under £3 at H and M.

What do you think? H and M one of your polish haunts?

Topshop - Nails in Solar

Hello All,

How are you all keeping? Good I hope. Today I have one of the Topshop duochromes Solar. Looks like a possible dupe for China Glaze's Swanky Silk, although I haven't got it to compare.

This is 3 coats of Solar, a gold/rose gold duochrome metallic. Has a slightly frosty finish but I thought it was quite pretty still. Costs £6.00 from Topshop.


What do you think a possible dupe?

W7 - Salt N Pepper

Hello Everyone,

I'm enjoying a rare day off work. So nice, shame it isn't sunny (boo). Today I have a W7 Glitter Salt n Pepper which I picked up ages ago, its big on the blog network at the mo.

 

This is two coats of Salt N Pepper, a white polish with black glitter. Kinda dries to a matte finish, I've purposely left the top coat off on this one to show the the effect. Love the fact its a cheap alternative to some of the other collections out, at £1.95 its a BARGAIN. I got mine and two others 'Sprinkles' at http://www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk/

Have you tried these? Whats your verdict?
