GOSH Nail Lacquers (Blogoversary Giveaway #1)

Whenever I'm feeling a bit grotty or low, painting my nails always makes me feel better. No idea why, but I feel more feminine and less like a mum up to her elbows in gluey tissue paper, washing and jigsaw pieces. Before I was a teacher, my nails were always immaculate and black or graphite grey were my preferred shades.

I've been sent the new Autumn/Winter 2012 nail lacquers range by GOSH which have something in them for everyone. There are six shades in the range: Lazy Green, With A Twist, Berry Me, Galaxy, Spot On! Pink, and Holographic Hero. I've had great fun trying out four of the more vibrant shades.

The nail lacquer has deep pigmentation but a thin texture, this means it dries quickly but a second coat is needed to provide depth of colour. With an RRP of £4.99, these are a very reasonably priced varnish to add a splash of colour on a dreary Winter's day.

I have a set of these six nail lacquers (worth nearly £30) to give away to celebrate my 2nd 'blogoversary'. To be in with a chance ofwinning, fill in the Rafflecopter form below.

I was sent a set of these nail lacquers for the purpose of this review. My opinion is honest and unbiased.

    I love black or very dark blue and just recently found a thing that makes nail varnish go matte so I do kind of a French manicure by painting the whole nail with a colour, masking the tip and mattifying the rest of the nail so that when you peel the tape off you have a shiny tip!
