I stumbled across the new Marks & Spencer beauty section in their central London branch when I was picking up some lunch and came across this Limited Collection polish. I have never purchased nail polish from Marks & Spencer before, so this was completely new to me. I do associate quality with M&S, but I'm always very sceptical of purchasing nail polishes from brands that are better known for their other products rather than their polishes, but thought I would try this out.
Below are the polishes that form the Limited Collection pack.

| Leaf |
The packaging caught my eye, with a warm autumn feel. It looks great doesn't it?
As you can see, you get three 5ml nail varnishes in the pack. The colours (from L-R) are; Cappuccino, Dark Coral & Leaf. The polishes have a shimmery effect to them and when your finger catches the light, it looks great. However, you definitely need a top coat as the polishes don't have that glossy shine to them. It has more of a matte finish. It's a quick drying and a long lasting polish which is always good. What I found a little frustrating though was that the consistency of the polish started changing (this is after the first use). It became a bit thick, almost as if you've had it a while. However, there are ways to get around that. I also wish the brush was a bit bigger so you could get larger strokes.
The pack retails at £6 (each 10ml bottle is £4). So definitely nothing that would break the bank. I think for that price, you do get the quality you are paying for. It's definitely a bargain.
What do you think of the colours? Have you tried any products from the M&S range?
Lovely colours! Great for autumn. I love how they are shimmery but still so nice. Usually you get a metallic effect really easy, but with these it's just a nice shimmer! :)

@Sal - Exactly! That's what's great about them. The shimmery effect. Definitely great if you're heading out to a party! x

ReplyDeleteI only like the Leaf colour, the coral is nice but not neon enough for me! lol Try the body lotions next time, they all smell yummy, especially the lemon scented one.
ReplyDeleteLeaf looks sooo nice xx
