the barry m one is very springy :)

Im on the same quest. Have a number of peachy corals already but none quite what I want. They are:

Barry M - peach Melba
Revlon - pink nude
Rimmel - sunrise
Bourjois - label has come off but it's one of the So Laque ones

Go to tesco they have a range called 'all about nails' the bottles are small but filled with pure colour!! they are really good and best of all ......£1.Grin

Chopstheduck · 25/04/2012 08:52

Nails Inc Porchester Place is a proper orange

I got one from Accessorize called Apricot Crush, it's a really nice peachy colour.

fluffydressinggown · 25/04/2012 12:32

Revlon - forget the full name but it has the word tropical in it!

warmandwooly · 25/04/2012 13:10

Revlon classy shade

Zondra · 25/04/2012 13:36

That Chanel Orange Fizz is gorgeous!

For cheap & cheerful but, really rather lovely on I recommend Coralicious 60 second nail polish by Rimmel.
I've had loads of compliments when wearing it.

salamanda · 25/04/2012 13:42

Coralicious looks gorgeous Zondra - does it actually come out looking like this or is it more orange than that?

brighthair · 25/04/2012 13:55

I like the Rimmel coralicious one
Asda do one called love rat
Not quite coral but gorgeous! Opi cozu melted in the sun

Zondra · 25/04/2012 17:16

Hi Salamanda, that is how it looks in real life. I think though, that the background fabric in that pic isn't really showing how it "pops" when worn with darker colours, iykwim?
I really do recommend it though! :)

Confident Coral by Jessica Nails is beautiful - and pretty much chip proof.

Wolfiefan · 25/04/2012 21:19

Mavala. Fab stuff. Little bottles in every colour imaginable.

whitelillies · 25/04/2012 21:30

wow the coralicious Rimmel one is lovely - it s a bit redder than i wanted but i think i have to have it anyway.
the chanel orange fizz is the colour I m after ....... ideally wihtout the chanel price tag -
Ive seen the OPI one and it s not quite right.

I have Coralicious! I love it. Not great staying power though. I also have the Accessorize one which is lovely.

I want to try Essie Cute as a Button I have seen it in 'real life' pics and it looks much more coral than pink. I like the Mavala bottles and staying power, but they all seem to have that old lady shimmer to them.

Still hunting for that elusive peachy-coral for my wedding though!

whackamole · 25/04/2012 21:33

I want the Chanel one too! Apparently it's not great though on application, I nearly had a hernia spending £11 (OPI) on a polish the other day so I am definitely not a high-end polish kind of girl!

whitelillies · 25/04/2012 21:35

yeah I get that - I find I usually use the polish but it goes sticky before I finish it etc so dislike spending lots on nail polish

OP posts:
salamanda · 25/04/2012 21:41

Chanel orange fizz application isn't great, no. Bit streaky and needs 3 coats. I sold my bottle on eBay otherwise I'd offer it to one of you!

Will be getting coralicious for sure :)

salamanda · 25/04/2012 21:42

Btw OPI polishes don't get sticky ever ime! I have a bottle from 2003 still going strong!

whackamole · 25/04/2012 21:55

I'm shopping for a coral polish tomorrow Grin

I also have Maybelline MNY polish in a pinky/corally colour - I can't find it online for some reason. Not even on the Maybelline website Confused but it's a really nice polish. And I have L'Oreal Resist & Shine Titanium, which is also nice but probably a bit too peachy. Neither of the bottles I have seem to have a name on the label, the L'Oreal one isn't on the website either.

RichTeaAreCrap · 25/04/2012 23:12

Orly Hot Shot is a nice one too.
