As I said in my first post, the polish brand I have most of is 17 by Boots. Their Fast Finish and Lasting Fix ranges are £2.99 each and they have a great variety of pretty colours! So, this post will be showcasing a few photos of my collection - enjoy!
Peacock (LOVE this shade, turquoise with a green shimmer):
Chaperone (again, love it - looks great with a subtle top coat of glitter):
Midnight Sapphire:
Caribbean Coral:
Ruby Gem (a REALLY nice, rich crimson):
Woo Me (index and ring fingers ~ my favourite colour ever!!) and Heart Beat (thumb, middle, pinky):
Royal Indigo (fantastic colour but a little 'demure' for me, doesn't suit me too well):
(click photos for full size) The vast majority of my 17 polishes are wonderful, but I have to say that I own a couple where the formula seems to be a bit off and is streaky or gloopy when applied. Those polishes are Bolt From The Blue, Nightshade and Mini Skirt - has anyone else found this? I'm not sure if it's a problem with the entire shade or if I just got a bad bottle :-/ In any case this is still one of my favourite brands, mainly because you can get great, vibrant new colours for a cheap price.
I'm wearing Mini Skirt right now, paired with Andrea Fulerton's Gemstone Overcoat (again!). Mini Skirt isn't really a polish I'd want to wear on its own for the above reason, but fortunately the flaky glitter looks beautiful over it. Here we are:
On its own (2 coats)...
... and with the Gemstone Overcoat!

More posts and pics to come soon, thanks for looking!

Oh God, these are so gorgeous. I was living in the UK for six months this year and I never bought 17 polish, I always ended up buying 17 lipstick and eyeliner! Really kicking myself for that now.
ReplyDeleteI love Chaperone in particular, and Midnight Sapphire! So pretty. I miss Boots! :D
