nail of the day

The No7 bottle will no longer close properly :( !

No7 So Smooth Base Coat, W.I.P. Nail Polish from Urban Outfitters in Lava, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

I bought this intriguing coloured nail varnish from Urban Outfitters on Sunday. They have such a gorgeous range of colours, many of which are a little different from others you see on the high street, but I was most drawn to Lava as the greeney bluey bronze duo chrome effect in the bottle intrigued me and reminded me of Chanel's infamous Peridot.

I have to admit that I am disappointed with this polish - the formula is so so thin and the brush is quite small which makes the polish really difficult to apply. It also chipped in only a day, even though I used my trusty No7 So Smooth Base Coat and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat. The colour has been a bit of a let down too. In normal day light it looks too much just like a shimmery green for my liking and I wish that it had more of a bronzey tone as it does in dimmer light.

There are lots more polishes from Urban Outfitters which I'd love to try - can anyone tell me if the formula of the others are so watery too?

W.I.P. Nail Polishes are £6 from Urban Outfitters and are also available online here.
