Hellooooo :)
Sorry that I've been absent for a while. I've been completely consumed by uni work. Had deadlines to meet & much reading to do so the blog has taken a bit of a back seat.... but I'm back! I've finished uni til the new year so I have plenty of time (in between christmas celebrations :D) to do some posts for my lovely readers!!
I graduated a few weeks ago! (here's a little pic of the the fantastic four on our day)
Anyway down to the reason for this post....
My brother & his girlfriend bought me a lovely prezzie as a congratulations for graduating :) They know me soooo well because the present was AMAZING!! Loved it!!
Its the 17 Nail Clash Complete Collection from Boots!
I haven't tried any of the foils or nail art bits yet. I'll be sure to let you know when I do but as I've been super busy & not had much time to do anything fancy to my nails I've been testing a couple of the colours from this set.
These colours are sooooo shimmery, I'm really really impressed by them. 17 is a really affordable brand made for boots & I would recommend them to anyone who likes to experiment with nail colours but doesn't necessarily want to splash out on higher budget brands.
I kept these colours on for a week & they stayed chip free which really impressed me. They also dry fairly quick which meant I had no smudges or dents (I'm always painting my nails just before work & then end up chipping or smudging them whilst I'm rushing about). Unlike glitter polishes they're super easy to remove but have that same eye catching factor that glitter polishes have. All in all I basically have no complaints about these beauties. They did the job perfectly & I will definitely look at purchasing polishes from this brand again. Looking forward to using the rest of the items in this kit :)
Let me know if you've come across any great 17 polishes....
Hope you enjoy
