A Queen at the Poolside {nails}

My official No.7 Voucher Correspondent, Fee from MakeupSavvy.co.uk tells me that the famous reduction vouchers have started again. It’s all well and good but what to buy with them? Perhaps you could be tempted with some nail polishes. Today, in the fashion of 3 for 2 offers, I  give you 3 Boots No.7 ‘Speed Dry’ nail polishes express reviews with plenty of photos for your eyes only.



First, this is Poolside Blue. The name is prettier than the colour, which reminds me of a very primary blue but the formula of this polish is what makes this polish absolutely worth it. Ladies and gentlemen, the photos which follow are with one coat only, with no clean up at all, zilch, nada, pas du tout.  I was very impressed.

Next we have Queenie. The abundance of photos will show you right away that Queenie is my favourite. The golden shimmer in the centre of the nail is absolutely divine. Queenie will make you feel like you’re the belle of the ball. If I may say, it suits my skin tone just beautifully, and in fact, I’d like to think that this would suit every skin tone really.


The formula was a bit watery and you’ll need to be careful at ‘draining’ the brush very well before applying the polish on your nail. Photos show 2 generous coats. Being so watery, drying time was surprisingly not bad all.  The finish is superb and once it has dried, you have totally forgotten the not so perfect formula.

Last but not least, we have Beautifully Black or ‘starry night’ as I would like to call it. The formula was very similar to Queenie: when you apply the first coat, you’d think that you would need 3 or 4 to achieve full coverage but 2 were sufficient. Beautifully Black dried to a very smooth finish, with no hint of grittiness at the touch. I really like it.
