The best navy nail varnish

21 replies

Skinheadmermaid · 01/01/2014 13:22

I am looking for a navy and/or dark blue nail varnish. I'd be happy if it lasted 3-4 days without chipping.
Any recommendations?

OPI Russian Navy is good.

Avon Speed Dry

Lasts ages.

I have a navy blue shellac one on now with silver sparkles over the top. Has been on for 9 days. SmileSmile

I've got my eye on Korres midnight blue atm. Really like korres nail polish, it lasts well.

Lancome have a lovely dark blue (teal almost) one that I love. I also have tuxedo by dior and that is nice too.

I love navy shellac but not the handiest or cheapest options.

Chanel Blue Satin is a close second!

PeazlyPops · 01/01/2014 17:11

Surprisingly, boots "seventeen" has a navy polish that lasts 5 days +

Sainsburys does one in the Boutique cosmetics range called Ships that pass in the night. Lovely colour!

SundaySimmons · 01/01/2014 23:08

Mavala denim blue.

boogiewoogie · 02/01/2014 00:09

Navy by Barry M is very deep blue and hard wearing with a top coat.

QueenCadbury · 02/01/2014 08:36

I second the mavala one that sunday recommends

Skinheadmermaid · 02/01/2014 11:21

Chanel Blue Satin (extremely dark, almost black), Essie Midnight Cami (tiny bit lighter), Leighton Denny Miss Behavin (love this one), Essie No More Film (no shimmer, slightly faded looking), OPI Ink (very sparkly), OPI Yoga ta get this Blue (maybe too light to be navy, more of a cobalt).

All of these last a week with topcoat and base coat, on me, and I love them all :)

Orly In The Navy is dead nice. You can get it cheaps here, but I did see it in my local TK Maxx a bit cheaperer the other day:

I also say you could go for the Barry M one as well. If you want a less spangly one go for W7 Navy.

So many people picking the most expensive brands. Really not necessary!

I'm currently wearing Chanel blue satin. I'm really pleased with the colour, it's a dark navy almost black.
Colour wise I think Chanel are great, but I painted mine NYE and it's chipped now.

ScooseIsLoose · 02/01/2014 13:31

I love opi ink it's a deep inky blue with shimmer it's gorgeous Grin
