Jack Wills Nail Varnish | Orchid





This is most definitely a love hate product.
I absolutely adore the colour and shine when it has dried, but oh my it takes forever to dry.

I decided to use a base coat with this, for some reason i thought it might stain my nails. It took around 5 minutes to dry, with me sticking my hands in water for an extra 2 minutes. Even now, 30 minutes later i am still smudging it. Any tips on how to get this to not smudge?

So aside from the drying issues, i love it. The colour is great. A gorgeous shade of purple. Once it has dried (to some extent) it is very glossy and shiny. I have worn this before today and it does last a good few days before chipping off. The price, £6.50 is a bit steep considering my fave Boots 17 Varnishes range from £2.99 to £3.99 and i believe are much better, but what do you expect for a jack wills product?

You can purchase them here or at your local Jack Wills Store.

Overall, i dont hate them, i quite like them. I do have my eye on Sage and BlueBell though.

Jack Wills Gift Haul.

Firstly, please excuse the appearance of this post. If it looks a little rubbish its because I'm trying something new. If it doesn't work well I won't do I again :)

So, last week the fiance ventured off to Glasgow, Amy stayed at her grandparents and I had a girly night in with Sam. The fella returned with some goodies for me :) I thought I'd show you what he got. I love them all!

He got my a cropped sleeved jumper. I love this. It is so comfy and easy to wear. It isn't too obvious it's Jack Wills like the hoodies as it has a simple little logo on the pocket.

A nail varnish in Orchid. It is a beautiful purple colour. Once 2 coats are applied it gives you a gorgeous shiny finish. I will do a more detailed review on it sometime.

As tradition, for some reason when Paul goes to Scotland he brings me back some socks. These are so pretty :)
