NOTD: Collection 2000 Button Moon

Now, I'm sure Button Moon is a review you've all seen a thousand times over, but I just thought I'd share my thoughts too.

The Colour: AMAZING! I love Barry M's Mint Green too but this is just a tad more pleasing for me, not quite sure why that is, but think it maybe that there's a little more blue in it. Who doesn't want nails which match Tiffany's packaging? Its a cheap way to Audrey yourself up. Also, I have to say, for a girl who is desperately trying to work this season's pastels into her wardrobe but isn't much of a pinks and lilacs type of girl, this is going down a treat.

The Application: I would say that the application and consistency of this product is where its failings are. I have a few of these polishes and I have found that Button Moon is the hardest one to work with. Its streaky and quite sticky and takes a bit of work to get even. I found it just about passed with two coats but really needed 3 to get the colour and the smoothness promised from the way the bottle looked. The brush is a cute little size and perfectly easy to work with, had the polish itself not been so viscous. I also noticed that contrary to its name and selling point, it wasn't very "fast drying" at all.

The Packaging: Cute little bottle, looks nice in my make-up drawer and a great size for on the go nail painting.

Despite being disappointed by the application process, I can't really grumble as these polishes are so cheap. They come in a wide range of colours and I would fully recommend them as a cheap shortcut to on-trend nails this spring.

The Collection 2000 Hot Looks Fast Dry polishes available from here or any good Boots or Superdrug for £1.79 - and I think they're even 2 for £3 at the moment on the Boots website, so hop on over!

(I wasn't sent this product, FYI, I paid for it with my own money - through the lovely Abbie actually - so I can say what I like about it thanks! All my reviews are always honest!)

    I have this and love the colour but it literally chips within minutes of applying it :(

    Oddly enough, I find Collection 2000 nail varnishes to be the easiest to apply out of every nail varnish ever invented (that costs less than £5). I'm rubbish at applying nail varnish, so maybe that's something to do with it, but Collection 2000 goes on better than Barry M, Rimmel, Avon, and anything else in my nail varnish arsenal.
