Mine is a toss up between Chanel Blue Satin and Nails Inc Jermyn St.

Plus a few variations on coral in the Jessica range for my summer toes Smile

I love my Chanel Paradoxal and Dior Liquorice, but have had 6 bargain Essie ones delivered today so will be trying them out later. I have SO many colours, I love nail varnish :)

Blue Satin looks hideous on me but my dd is enjoying it!

BulletWithAName · 24/03/2011 15:09

Opi Catch Me In Your Net- it's so gorgeous!

MrsBloomingTroll · 24/03/2011 17:06

I'm currently in love with OPI Russian Navy on my toes. I usually try something new each time I have a pedi but I think I'm going to go for it again next time.

woopsidaisy · 24/03/2011 17:23

I cannot stop looking at my hands when I have Chanel Black Pearl on.

southeastastra · 24/03/2011 17:24

80 fulham road nails inc. if anyone has one they don't like can i have it Grin

discontinued now

wendihouse22 · 24/03/2011 17:25

Mavala......Delhi Red. Little tiny pots so you don't have them too long and they don't go all sticky and it's just the most beautiful shade.

VenusInfers · 24/03/2011 17:28

Chanel Rouge Noir. Not only super cool, but the bottle I've had for over 5 years still hasn't dried up or gone ikky.

verysomething · 24/03/2011 20:50

Opi "I'm Not Really A Waitress". The perfect red Grin

otchayaniye · 24/03/2011 20:53

I like cremes only, reds chiefly and currently like Illamasqua's forest green creme polish. Am wearing Revlon Red Hot Tamale, a beautiful tomato light red.

I've gone off the very very dark ones. They (Lincoln Park After Dark et al) are lingering getting gloopy, if anyone wants them

otchayaniye · 24/03/2011 20:54

Oh, have a lovely mid-to-dark brown from Mavala, their Cedar green one and their petrol blue polish. Great polish and agree about the size.

madhousewife · 24/03/2011 20:57

love the st jermyn nails inc colour but nails inc quality is poor! I hate paying £10 for a below par nail varnish, I can't get that stuff to go on smooth to save my life. grrrrrrrrr.

woopsidaisy · 24/03/2011 22:30

If you keep your nail polish in the fridge it stays fresh for years.
Visitors to my house open the fridge and always ask why I have about 20 nail polishes in their! Grin

starfleet · 24/03/2011 22:56

Chanel - Rouge Noir
Nails Inc - Cadogan Square
Boots No7 - Beanie

southeastastra · 24/03/2011 23:03

don't the fumes make your lettuce taste funny

Conflugenglugen · 25/03/2011 07:21

Another one here for Chanel's Rouge Noir. Having settled for cheaper nail varnishes before I bought it, I now understand why paying a bit more makes a difference: it only takes a swipe of remover to take it off, rather than having to resort to scrubbing your nails for ages.

withagoat · 25/03/2011 07:43

For me comments wise... Orly moonlit madness a Xmas red

And OPI you don't know jaques. A sludge

Revlon red and revlon coral

crazybutterflylady · 25/03/2011 09:54

verysomething I second that! Twas my wedding varnish Grin

AutumnWitch · 25/03/2011 11:25

current loves are chanel paradoxal and nails inc jermyn street, but I'm eyeing up some of rimmels summer brights (pink and purple)

southeast I've got a bottle of hardly used fulham road - a shimmery lilac from when they first started yes? It doesn't really suit my skin tone.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 25/03/2011 11:29

Black Pearl and Jermyn Street are my favourites atm.

I don't seem to have trouble with the way Nails Inc goes on - do you think you may have a duff bottle?

scotsgirl23 · 25/03/2011 11:39

Nails inc are going their lucky dip thing again - 5 bottles (one a top coat) for £10.

AutumnWitch · 25/03/2011 11:39

I find I need to be quite generous with nails inc polishes to get them smooth.
Jermyn street is rather like painting with chocolate Mmmmmmm

ChaosTrulyReigns · 25/03/2011 11:49

Tell me more scots.

Grin
scotsgirl23 · 25/03/2011 12:01

Ah dammit, just went to link but they've sold out already! they do these offers every so often where they will send you 5 random full size bottles for £10. Good if like me you like to try different colours!

withagoat · 25/03/2011 15:42

My local nail bar does a file and polish for a fiver

polyhymnia · 25/03/2011 15:51
