I am yet to find disappointment
with a Topshop nail varnish. Every single one that I have tried and tested has
lived up to and exceeded my expectations. The shade range is fantastic and the
colours in the bottle match up to how they look on the nail so you definitely
know what to expect with each one. With a variety of mattes that range from
pastels, brights and darks to metallics, glitters and crackle effects, you can
be spoilt for choice when making a decision of which bottle to choose.
This is the first metallic shade
that I have bought from Topshop and although they cost a little more than the
regular matte shades (£6.00 instead of £5.00), they are more than worth the
money. For 8ml of product £6.00 is a fair price for exceptional quality,
beautiful colour and long lasting wear time. ‘Glimmer’ is a subtle and light,
yellow toned metallic gold shade that is full of shimmer and catches the light
beautifully. The consistency of this one was a little different to others from
Topshop that I have tried and seemed to be a lot thinner and applied quite
sheer – but fear not because with just two coats you can achieve all the
opacity that is required for a beautiful, seasonally appropriate, shiny gold
sheen to your nails. Really smooth application, very fast drying, and from past
experience these have lasted more than just a few days before chipping. So far
I have had my nails painted this colour for four days and there’s not a chip in
sight and I have had quite a few compliments on them too. I’d like to point out
that I felt there was no need for a top coat with this polish as it gave quite
a high shine finish already and I knew that they were pretty chip resistant.
Metallic shades are ones that I
shy away from normally which is just down to personal preference, but after ‘Glimmer’
catching my eye in store I felt I needed to try it and I am really glad that I
did. This is bad news for the shopping addict inside of me though, because now
not only do I feel the need to extend my collection of Topshop mattes; starting
with Milkshake and Green Room, I also want to branch out and try more metallic
variations.
