| 'Charming', 'Revlon Red', 'Scandalous' |
I am a huge nail varnish fiend, so imagine my joy when Revlon was on offer in Superdrug!
Being a student and trying to save money I walked away from the stand not once, but twice!However I returned a third time after justifying the purchases to myself, for the following reasons -
1. They were three for two (which really was all of the convincing I needed!)
2. I was in dire need of a new red nail varnish and 'Revlon red' is by far my favourite nail colour, especially in the winter months.
3. I absolutely fell in love with the beautiful taupey purple/grey colour, which is aptly named 'Charming'
...
However coming to my third colour choice was not so easy. Please don't hate me, but am not the biggest fan of sparkly nail varnishes. I find them a little OTT and very difficult to remove - I spend at least 10 minutes scrubbing with my nail varnish remover before the pretty little glitter pieces even start to budge.
BUT ... Revlon's 'Scandalous' really caught my eye. A gorgeous deep almost jelly like black with large circular, and smaller glittery purple sparkles, I thought it would be perfect for Halloween (which it was), although, as predicted a real mission to remove!
When I got home I couldn't wait to try out my new colours and I gravitated straight towards 'Charming'.
I absolutely adore it, I think it is the perfect colour for both the winter and summer months and really brightens up my day every time I look down at my nails! It goes on really smoothly and has a great formulation. It does take a few coats for a good colour build up, but with such an easy to use brush this is so quickly done and well worth it for beautiful nails.

| 'Seche Vite' |
I have to say, the shining glory of my nail care routine is my AMAZING 'Seche Vite' top coat. It has changed the way I think about painting my nails.
Before, I loved changing the colours of my nails but always dreaded the hour or so afterwards where you are forever in fear of chipping your carefully painted fingers.
With 'Seche Vite' I no longer have that problem, it dries in minutes, and when I say dries, it really does dry. It is completely shatter proof and chip resistant and gives your nails an incredible shine. People have often commented on my nails asking whether or not they are gels due to their professional look. At £9.95 it is by no means cheap, but worth every penny - I would even pay more!
Do any of you have any holy grail nail products?
