are expensive nail varnishes worth it?

[rainbowface]

Hi, just as the title says really, For some reason I fancy treating myself to a 'posh' nail varnish - Chanel, or Estee Lauder possibly.... am I being daft? Are they worth the extra?

I don't think so. My Revlon stays put far better than my Chanel.

I haven't noticed any difference, think it's all in the preparation and application.

i dont think so they just look good
esp chanel ones - my preference.
but essie are fab
as are the malva

Have Clarins and cant say it is any better then No7, the latter stays on better

leighton denny are the best

OPI and revlon are good mid priced nailvarnishes

I've bought chanel in the past (sucker for rouge noir) and its ok nothing wow that was worth loads more

my sister sent me a few Essie polishes and they are brilliant. the stuff on my toes was on for a fortnight nad going strong!

not a chip in site.

kind of thought as much, I mean a nail varnish is just a nail varnish right? - unless its a really cheap one possibly.

Sorry didnt see the last post - havent heard of essie where can you get that?

My fave is Rimmel. That stays on better than my Yves Saint Laurent!

Another vote for OPI. Chip free for over 2 weeks (on my feet that is).

i dont have that much experience..but funnily enough was thinking today 'this nail varnish has reaaaly chipped quickly ' (rimmel)...usually wear revlon/chanel (both pretty similar)

Estee Lauder goes on really nicely and stays on for ages IME.

I have had a Tesco one on for a week and not a chip.

i had 2 chanel ones for 15 years, they still worked. i have mac from 2000.

I like Chanel, but also Revlon and Rimmel 60 seconds.
I don't like OPI one bit, it chipped and looked crap (but that could just be me!).

Have seen quite a few Chanel on ebay - do you think they are genuine?

i would NOT buy any brand name makeup, perfume or nail varnish on Ebay but only from an authorised dealer - Boots or SpaceNK or the like.

oh....they could be old possibly.

I rate No 17 VERY highly. Lasts ages. I had a Chanel one, twas crap.

rather spend the money on a manicure.

rate Malva, that's not really pricey but feels professional cos you only get it in salons and strange pharmacists. Choice of colours is a bit shit though!
