Back to M&S after a couple of years off for me this year, I don’t think that we have a thread already?

Usual rules apply, no spoilers before 7am, looking forward to tomorrow! 🎄

I like it. Looks like a fresher Rouge Noir to me.

ThePoshUns · 03/12/2025 11:31

I like it have just tested on one nail, I will definitely use this.

TabbieMctatty · 03/12/2025 11:52

Love, love the colour of this one but I have gel nails as polish just chips on me in minutes!

evilharpy · 03/12/2025 11:54

I love the polish, fab colour (tried it on my husband!). I'll be using it for toes, as I wear gel on my fingers.

StrikeForever · 03/12/2025 12:54

The colour of the nail polish is too dark for me 🤷‍♀️

ForLoveNotMoney · 03/12/2025 13:09

I’m just watching this thread as never buy itself anything nice and now I’m jealous! What colour was the polish? Any pictures?

Newgirls · 03/12/2025 14:24

I think it’s a great colour (rouge noir)

It's very dark. I might give it a try tomorrow.

That looks lovely, I’m definitely happy with the colour

StrikeForever · 03/12/2025 16:36

I’ve been feeling a bit fed-up today, so opened tomorrow’s box. I’m happy with it and will use it this evening.

SmashingGemini · 03/12/2025 17:01

I’ve done my nails and really like the colour.

Popcorndoggy · 03/12/2025 17:13

Love this colour and the finish is beautiful. Glad it wasn’t red. This colour is bang on trend . I’m very happy!

Snackpocket · 03/12/2025 18:56

I really like the nail polish colour. I don’t often paint my nails but might do this for Christmas and I’ll definitely use it on my toenails.

Datchydoo · 03/12/2025 19:10

Today’s box is a bit ‘meh’ for me, but I will try it on my toes. Hopefully tomorrow is better!

50ftQueenieeee · 03/12/2025 19:59

I'm not that keen on nail polish and don't really wear any at all. However, I like the colour really dark and will give it a whirl for Christmas Day. Hopefully it'll match the blue satiny dress I have bought. I'm more into skin care so hoping for some in the next boxes.

ModernLife1sRubbish · 04/12/2025 06:41

Underwhelmed by today's as it is something I wouldnt benefit from using (wrong 'type' for me).

So far, day 1 is my unexpected favourite, followed by day 2.

Same! I have curly hair and am very careful about what I use on it. Probably stash away for DD to take next time she has a school trip.

Sparkletastic · 04/12/2025 07:17

Pleased with today’s as it is lovely to have such a premium brand and in the perfect packing size for a short break.

buzzing · 04/12/2025 07:19

Quite pleased today, not wow but I’ll try anything to give my hair a bit more volume. Am currently using a Philip Kingsley one that I suspect came from a previous M&S BAC so will move to this one once that’s finished.

greywolfie · 04/12/2025 07:22

I've been using this for a few days and it's ok....not really noticed any change to my hair. I was more impressed by the wow shampoo last year as I saw a improvement straight away with that.
Cute packaging though.

TeamToeBeans · 04/12/2025 07:26

I’m a bit meh about today’s box, I have short, very thick hair, but I’ll take it to DP’s house and use it there. I assume the conditioner will follow at some point.

50ftQueenieeee · 04/12/2025 07:28

Will give this a go today, I have quite frizzy wavy hair so hopefully it will help. Favourites are day 1 and 2 for me so far. Don't mind this especially if it turns out to be good.

ThePoshUns · 04/12/2025 07:38

I am happy with today. I like living proof brand and is perfect for a weekend away. I have a drawer full of travel products. I need to go away more!
