Nail polishes-high street hits and misses!

Clodagh here, and today we're talking talons.
Oh yeah, you heard me.
As my friend likes to say 'kitty got claws!'
Yes she does, and she likes them to be nice!
Now, as much as I adore my Essie, and I'm aware it's available in Superdrug, sometimes you need a cheaper alternative. Having tried many-a-polish, I am here as your self-christened nail polish guru to tell you the highs and the lows of drugstore nail polishes!

Let's begin, shall we?

MAYBELLINE-
Maybelline Colour show nail polishes. They deserve a place on this list for the colour range alone. As a colour fanatic, I'm like a kid in a candy shop when I browse the Maybelline section. The pay off is good, you only need maybe two or three coats! THESE ARE A HIT!

Bourjois So Laque nail polishes- Having loved other Bourjois nail polishes I'll talk about, I had high hopes. Boy was I disappointed. I found the 'So Laque' range gloopy, running, and it took FOREVER to get a decent coverage. I was very disappointed, this is definitely a miss. It's a shame, the colours are gorgeous!-MISS.

 Topshop Nails- I waited a VERY long time for these to hit my local Topshop. The rest of their makeup range isn't in 

my store yet. As soon as they were out, I had a mosey around, already with colours in mind, thanks to Becca Rose. I picked up a few colours, and while their shade range is average, I had to put on too many coats for this to be a quick and easy nail polish. Sadly, this is a MISS.

Ahhhhh how I was excited about these. And I wasn't disappointed. I had to go to Superdrug about four times before the colour I was lusting after- blueberry- was in store, and even at that, it was the last one in store. The colour. The texture. THE THICKENESS. THE SMOOTHNESS. THE FAST DRYING. And most importantly of all for me, as I somehow manage to chip nails in the same day they're done-the staying power. I've since picked up two more of these babies, and I'm desperate to get my paws on more. Definitely a HIT.

Bourjois 1 Seconde- As soon I heard Anna from 'Viviannadoesmakeup' mention the words 'Turquoise Block' I was sold as she waved her blue-green clad fingers around. The colour. Is. Stunning. Whilst it doesn't dry in one second as the name would suggest, it is an extremely fast drying polish, which doesn't chip for at least three days. I'd also recommend the colours Blue no blues and Melon. Definitely a HIT!

Accessorize nail polish- This is definitely the underdog product. I NEVER hear anyone talk about these babies, and they really should be! Around three pound a pop, the shade range is unbelievable and you only need two coats. Worth taking a look? Definitely. GET GOING! THESE ARE A HIT!

So, what are your favourite high street nail polishes? What don't you like?
