I usually fall for all the "dry in 60 seconds" or won't chip for 14 years gimmicks, and pay over the odds for those promises that never actually work.
In Morrisons last week I grabbed a bottle of Collection 2000 nail varnish in Ebony. Came home and slapped it on. Fully expected it to smudge due to still being wet 10 mins later and to chip off in the next few hours.
BUT I can honsestly say it dried in next to no time and has stood up to me doing heavy duty DIY, filling skips with paving slabs and scraping polystyrene tiles off ceilings.
I can't remember what it cost but it can't have been more than a fiver and it's performed better than other products I've bought costing a blooming fortune!
Just thought I'd share my top product with you. X
