Review: George Matte Finisher Nail Polish

Image
I had been searching for a matte top coat for a while and could not find one anywhere, I had been to Boots, Superdrug and Tesco and, maybe I was looking in the wrong places but I couldn't find one. So, as I was shopping at my local Asda post gym session, I decided to pop down the aisle with all the shampoos and make-up and there in the George (Asda's own brand) section I saw it! And what made it even better was that it was only £1.75. (I've just been on their website. It's been reduced to £1.00. I might need to go buy some back-ups.) The first time I tried this I wasn't overly impressed but then I realised that it was my Accessorize nail colour underneath that was a bit rubbish.

Nails of the day: Autumn Berry

I have a dilemma. I can only have my nails painted at certain points in the week. I work in as bar staff and waitressing part time and having painted nails there is generally frowned upon as customers tend to dislike finding chips o nail polish in their food and/or drinks. However, for the other part of the week I am a professional performer. As part of this job title, I currently get paid to sing. I like to make an extra effort to look nice for this as people will be looking at me a lot and part of this is having my nails painted. Anyway, that long introduction was basically to let you know that I have painted my nails for this week. Here they are:  I used Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in 'Pomegranate' on all my nails. I only needed one coat which was good as I was in a rush. I like this nail polish. I find that on me it tends to get less shiny fairly quickly (although maybe if I applied more coats this might improve :p) but I love the colour and think it is perfect for autumn.  ...
