Gem and Jo's polish picks

So here's what we've been wearing on our nails recently!

Jo's Pick:

I recently bought a few nail polishes for Topshop, and this lovely was amongst them. This is Topshop's Nail Varnish in the colour Moondance. This is a gorgeous blue(y) silver holographic colour.

This nail polish dries super quickly, but the best thing about it is definitely the colour. The polish gives off rainbow hues in the light and it looks like the reflective strip on a high visibility jacket. It seriously looks super cool. Unfortunately this nail polish chips quite easily without a top coat, but slap a good quality top coat on and that problem is solved.

I found this polish on sale in Topshop for €4. I don't believe that you can get it online but if you see this in store I highly suggest picking it up. This would be perfect if you wanted to take part in the holographic trend (without dressing head to toe in it and looking like a space man). This would also cool over a blue nail polish to give it an extra sparkle.

Gem's Pick:

So after trying Primark's matte pink colour in our last polish picks post I've become a little be hooked on matte nail polishes. So I decided to give Sinful Colors nail polish in the colour Savage a go. This is a beautiful matte teal colour.

This nail polish dries really fast and a truly opaque colour can be achieve from only one coat! The polish gives the nails an almost rubber texture which looks really great. I would however recommend wearing a base coat underneath the polish as it can leave blueish stains on the nails once taken off. However as long as a base coat is used this won't happen. 

I purchased my bottle from my local boots store for €2.49, But if you live in the US you can find Sinful Colors in a lot of different drugstores and supermarkets such as target (it's a little bit harder to find in Ireland and the UK). For €2.49, this polish is great quality and I would definitely recommend it to any matte polish lovers out there.

Gem and Jo's Polish Picks!

So we are kind of nail polish junkies! There is rarely a moment when our nails are not painted. So we decided to show you guys our nail polish picks of the moment.

Jo's Polish Pick

Today Jo decided to paint her nails with Max Factor's Max Effect Mini Nail Polish, in the colour Dazzling Blue. Reminiscent of a mermaid's tail, this is a beautiful iridescent blue green nail polish, which gives off a different shade of colour depending on the lighting.

The product applies beautifully and is not streaky at all. Only two coats are needed for a fully opaque look. It doesn't seem to easily chip and it has great staying power. This nail polish also dries super quick, which is great for anyone who dreads the thought of waiting for hours for nail polish to fully dry.  

This product can be found is most retailers that carry Max Factor products. Jo purchased her's from boots where it can be found for 4.99 Euro or 3.99 pounds. Check it out here!

Gem's Polish Pick

Gemma used Glo Baby Glo nail polish in the colours Coral and Pewter (Blue). These varnishes were purchased in Penny's (Primark) for €1.50. The colours are very vibrant and very true to the shade seen in the bottle! The coral is very pretty and bright for summer time and the pewter compliments fair skin tones very well, making Gem's fingers look much longer than they really are!

Just as with the Max Factor varnish above, these polishes only needed 2 coats each, however the consistency of the liquid is quite thick and sticky, even when stored correctly which is a total bummer because they are such pretty colours! It also takes quite a long time to dry, which also sucks but for only €1.50 extremely high quality is not expected! Inexpensive and effective are the key words with these polishes! 

As said above, Gemma purchased these from Primark (Penny's) for €1.50. Primark don't do online shopping but they do have stores all over Ireland, so you're never too far away from one! Take a look at their website for locations: Primark locations
