Boots No7 ~ Cheeky Chops

Hello!

Today I will be showing off the second No7 nail polish I got for £2 with a '£5 off' voucher (see the other, Vivid Violet, here).  It is delightfully named Cheeky Chops and the colour makes me think of a blushing cartoon piggy!


I chose it because I thought it would look great in a polka dot design (since I just broke my no-buy and bought dotting tools on eBay).  And, in fact, rosy cheeks are the best way I can think of to describe this cheery pink polish, so well done to whoever named this at No7 Towers ^_^

Like with Vivid Violet, I got off to a bit of a bad start with the application - somehow the brush often either gloops the polish on or carries too little and drags the polish around the nail.  Also there was a rogue loose bristle that I had to pull out with tweezers.  However, once I'd applied 3 coats it was well worth the minor annoyance - you're getting 6 pics of this polish because it looks absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't bear to chuck away any photos!!

I LOVE IT. 

The polish has a slight jelly look to it and is just so darn cheerful!  I like the look of it best in natural, weak English sunlight, but it looks amazing all the time.  I will definitely be wanting to use it a lot, and can't wait till my dotting tools arrive so I can show it off some more!

I CANNOT SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS POLISH.  I would even venture to say that it's worth its normal price of £7... bear in mind that I am a big cheapskate and normally falter around the £3.50 mark.

So what do you think... am I a girl of strange tastes or is this truly as nice a colour as I think it is?

Hugs,
