I picked up this Accessorize nail polish whilst out shopping the other day. It's shade 38 and it cost a very reasonable £4 for such a gorgeous colour. It's like a glittery peacock, combining green, purple and blue shades, like the colours of petrol mixed in water. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be my New Year Eve nail polish.
I must say that I don't like the application at all. The brush is too stubby and difficult to work with and it's really hard to apply. I also hate the quality of the polish. Within a few hours of application, I had a horrible chip on my other hand and have since developed a few more, despite using a good quality top coat. I've also found that another shade of Accessorize polish I have chips really badly (which is why I haven't bothered doing a NOTD on it yet).
Saying that, my left hand has remained intact for photography purposes and still looks pretty good. I used a ridge filler as a base coat, two coats of Shade 38 and a top coat. Drying time was ages as well.
So, on the plus side, I love the colour (and there is a good range of other unusual colours), but I hate the application and the quality is awful. For £4, there are much better quality polishes out there, but if you fall in love with one of the colours, it's not too much to pay for a cheap polish that'll just about last 24 hours.
Have you tried these polishes yet? Have you had better experiences than me?
Thanks for reading! xx

Its a lovely shade! Not tried this brand but Barry m quality is really good for the price compared to other brands!
Very pretty. I haven't tried any accessorize polishes but I've heard good things, mainly about the colours available I think!
Hello new follower! You're very welcome here!
@ StyleFrost, I agree that Barry M is much better value for the money.
It's such a shame that the colours are gorgeous, but the quality sucks! x
Never tried these nail polishes, the colour is lovely though.
