Fabulous Nails #29 - My ALL TIME Favourite Red!

Happy Friday everyone! Today is my last day in my current department before I move onto a different one on Monday (I'm a trainee solicitor so we move departments every 6 months). So it's a sad day but also almost feels like the end of term - just without the time off afterwards! My day will be filled with cake, presents and hastily done work and handovers..!

If you're a long time reader of Bee's Knees, you'll know that I am a bit of a nail polish obsessive. I do have an addiction but I think in the grand scheme of things there are worse & more expensive addictions. I don't have particularly expensive taste either, I'm a massive Barry M fan! But recently I came across what has to be my hands down favourite true, pillar box red polish and I just had to share it with you all!

It's 'Revlon Red' by Revlon (no surprises there!) I actually didn't own this polish - I bought it for my Mum along with 2 other colours for Christmas (I think they were on 3 for 2) I 'borrowed' it when I was back home and without any nail varnish to use, and it is amazing!  The application, brush and consistency is perfect, I only needed two coats to get complete coverage and it lasted a good 4 days without chipping. This might not seem long to most people, but my nails are so rubbish they usually chip after a matter of hours or a day if I'm lucky!

I used to only own one Revlon nail polish but now I've added some new ones to my collection and they're fast becoming my go-to polishes! You get a nice chunky bottle (14ml) and they usually retail for £6.49 each. This stunning red is a must-have for anyone's nail polish collection! You can buy Revlon polishes from Boots in store or online HERE.

Have you tried any Revlon polishes before? What is your favourite brand?

Fabulous Nails #10

It's been quite a while since I did a Fabulous Nails post, and this one has been waiting in draft form for weeks! So here's a little glimpse of some festive nails I had before Christmas time!

 I absolutely love the lush deep red colour of this polish, which is Nails Inc 'hampstead heath'.

I think I got this free from Glamour magazine (which I subscribe to anyway!) so win-win! It stayed chip-free for a good few days and is just a lovely, versatile colour that you could wear for work or play!

Have you picked up any good freebies from magazines recently? Which is your favourite?

Fabulous Nails #9

I've been so excited about sharing this instalment of Fabulous Nails with you! I was rooting around in my nail polish box (that I keep in the fridge, btw, it's the best way!) and found about a million polishes from years gone by or ones I'd never actually worn since purchase, and I was determined to wear them all! Starting with this stunning offering from Collection 2000 Hotlooks in shade 26 'Scandal'.

 This is such an incredible shade - it looks more OPI than Collection 2000 on the nail, it has so many different layers to the colour and is just a stunning shade! This is with 2 coats, and it's worn quite well. Only 2 chips in 2 days so far (writing this on Tuesday evening) but as with last week, my nails are in terrible condition so it may be that rather than the polish itself.

Unfortunately as this polish is from a good few years ago (but still in great condition due to keeping it in the fridge - I'm telling you, its the way forward!) its no longer in shops, but you can buy all sorts of other wonderful shades from the Hotlooks range which I'm sure will be just as impressive. And at only £1.89 a bottle I'm struggling to think of reasons not to invest in a couple more colours! Linky!
