I looked at Barry M today and it was a nice dark blue but slightly metallic - I wanted a true navy

maybe not a 'good' make, but Superdrug (Collection 2000, Bourjois, Barry M as suggested) are usually a good bet

or I think 17 at boots have one

hmm

when I wanted blue nailvarnish (for my wedding, long story) the only place I could find it was the pound shop...

maybe time to bite the bullet and get Chanel. Ebay perhaps?

poo - ignore me

I have seen you want true navy - this is probably too sparkly

JRocks · 09/05/2008 15:07

I have a very very dark navy nailpolish.. Nails Inc, I think

RubySlippers · 09/05/2008 15:07

a very good range and they stock it in some independent beauty retailers - TOMA

southeastastra · 09/05/2008 16:12

you could mix your own

WilyWombat · 09/05/2008 16:26

OPI Russian Navy seems to be very popular on handbag - I havent tried it myself so I dont know if its metallic but you can order it on EBAY
