My current one is a bit gloppy & dries dull - what are the nicest ones?

Agreed Meggles. I am firmly of the view that many of the cheaper and budget ranges have come on leaps and bounds in recent years. I used to buy Chanel but it went gloopy very quickly. It's not quite as upsetting when a £3 Rimmel polish does that. Nails Inc lasts well and I find it wears off rather than chips. Get thee to WH Smith for a Glamour mag!

stop the world
i have the one thatas the best one ever

its " you dont know Jacques" by OPI and got me 4 complimnets over 2 days once.

I like the current mavala ones as the small bottle means you only

I have a creme dark brown, a cedar green and a petrol blue one.

OPI is also good (Lincoln Park after dark) and doesn't chip.

I've never got on with Chanel.

I like it. Prefer to to all the manky half-arsedly applied greige nails I see out there

Def not old hat its a classic.I had the grey last winter and I did like it but not as flattering.

Maltesers Muddlinleigh? yum (hurries off to Aldi to buy entire nail polish range)

Illamasqua have quite a few nice dark shades and their nail polish seems go on evenly with good coverage and last well.

Rimmels Desire is nice- dark purply red and Revlon Vixen ditto.

I have just discovered Aldi's Lacura nail varnish in 'chocolate'...oh my bloody god, it's amazing! Had it on since NY Eve, still looks as good as new. £1.99, can't argue with that. A big fan of the old dark varnishes me.

Clure · 04/01/2011 18:17

yes purplepeony, I also love Rimmels Desire. I have just tried Rimmels Night Flight, its really dark-a bit purple grape

Iatemyskinnyperson · 05/01/2011 17:50

my fav is OPI 'My private jet', Charcoal-y colour with sparkles. Wear is not too bad, I have it on 3 days and no chips so far, which is pretty good as I type all day. Rimmel 'Purple Addict' is great fun colour, deep purple with shimmer. Its the 'Pro' line, so has a really fab fat brush.

mamalovesmojitos · 05/01/2011 19:37

yy to nails inc saville row, also bourjois cerise noir. nicest dark colours imo.

CDMforever · 05/01/2011 20:10

No7's Blackberry is very similar to Chanel's RougeNoir. Not that I've ever owned a Chanel nail varnish but I've seen it in the filums...
