NOTD: No 7 "Cherry Tang"

Oh No 7, you are too good to me this Xmas :) First the awesome "Totally Teal", the I spot this today - and with a money-off voucher it was effectively £1.25! Sweet... There is also a gunmetal shimmery one, but it's too close to Revlon "Steel her heart" to make it into my collection.

This is a luscious jelly with glassfleck shimmer, the colour isn't cherry as I would describe it; more glacé cherry - the ones you get in tinned fruit salads. It's lustrous and lovely, and the camera hates it... I hope I caught some of the lustre for you!

This applied flawlessly. This is 3 coats, as a jelly it will need it but it's still lusciously translucent and lustrous. My new Holy Grail base and top coat combo is working incredibly well - I wore "Totally Teal" for 4 days without any chips :) I hope I can find another bottle of Sally Hansen Nail Quencher base coat when I need it, there are rumours they are discontinuing it. I also hope Sally Hansen doesn't discontinue MegaShine; after it's mini-revamp it's the ultimate speed dry top coat, and it doesn't go goopy half way through the bottle as Seche Vite does.

NOTD: No7 "Totally Teal"

In my last dip into No7 nail polish, I said that the colours in the collection usually don't really appeal to me. This one is different. Very different. It's dark and murky teal creme finish makes my knees weak. It's blackened, but in a soft way, looks amazing in the sunlight and only require 2 coats.

This one had a duff brush on it, which always kind of annoy me. I had to trip it with scissors. It's also incredibly hard to photograph. This is 2 coats of polish over Sally Hansen Nail Quencher with Sally Hansen MegaShine top coat.

I love it. I am not sure if there are many colours out there like this one! It's part of No7's Christmas collection, also featuring a slate grey sparkly polish. I predict a sellout item, so get it while it's in stock :)

NOTD: NYC "Downtown"

This is a fantastic colour!! I had a tiny bit of hardship photographing this, the colour doesn't react well to the daylight lamp, and other artificial light is not good enought to show the luscious purple-y dusty rose colour.

It's a very "normal" colour, but due to the dusky quality of it, it is also very different :) I am hoping to get some daylight shots of this to see how it turns out.

This is 2 coats of "Downtown" over my new fave base coat, Sally Hansen Nail Quencher and the new improved Sally Hansen MegaShine top coat! They spruced it up a bit and gave it a flatter brush! :) Way to go, Sally Hansen! :)

NOTD: No7 "Vivid Violet"

I had a money off voucher so I got myself this polish. I've never been able to put my finger (haha...) on why I don't have a lot of No7 polishes before - but I think I have the answer...

I just don't like any of their colours.

This colour I do like, but it takes 3 coats to get to the look of my photo. If I had long nails I would have to put on 4 to not have Visible Nail Line. And I am not a patient girl, as many of you know so 4 layers is painful...

This polish applies neatly though, and the brush is easy to handle. Dries fairly fast, I think the cork is bigger than it needs to be, and fool you into thinking that the bottle is same size as a China Glaze (which is 4ml, No7 has only 10ml...)

I also just started using Sally Hansen Nail Quencher base coat. I am hoping it will bring my nails back into shape a bit! I will give you a full review in a couple of weeks time :)

Happy Halloween!

NOTD: GOSH "Bright Passion"

I apologise for the awful photo, I can't seem to get a proper photo of this polish. It's awesome. Truly amazing. I will try and get another photo tomorrow of this in the sunlight :) I am in love with this; it's 2 coats over 1 coat of Rimmel 60sec "Blackout" with Sally Hansen MegaShine top coat.

I don't know what else to say. It's another amazing polish from GOSH! :)

NOTD: L'Oreal "734 Black Red"

Wow, I am in love! L'Oreal has brought out some blackened polishes in their Resist & Shine Titanium range, and this is the most awesome of them - 734 Black Red. There is also a purple, mauve, gold glitter and turqoise.

This is ONE coat of polish over base coat, it's amazingly pigmented :) And it glows from within with a deep metallic red :) I put Sally Hansen MegaShine on and it glows even more! It's mesmerising. I don't have any other polishe like this one, and I would love if they did a hot pink/fuschia version of this!
