Primark has upped it's nail varnishes.


The title says it all here really.
Bearing in mind I have only tried one of their new 'angelica' range of nail varnish, but it really is wonderful.
I went into the London Westfields Primark while I was at the Olympics (Woohoo!) and found a whole little island full of these angelica nail varnishes. They're new to me - I have never seen nail varnish and Primark look like this. I was immediately drawn to this little beauty (pictures above and below) which is a gorgeous rainbow holographic glitter. Its called 'Brit Pop' and it number 92. 

The colour is gorgeous, of course, however knowing Primark's reputation I was a little wary. They're priced at £2.50 which is not exactly 'cheap' for Primark nail varnish so I thought it may be a little better than their previous range. 

INDEED THEY ARE!
I cheekily put a little bit on my thumbnail in the store and walked around for a bit looking at clothes. By the time I was ready to pay, it was completely dry and felt as solid as a rock!


After purchasing, coming home and covering all of my nails in it (on top of Topshop's milkshake) and letting them dry I am thoroughly impressed. It's been 4 days and not a chip in sight. I think I'm going to have difficulty getting it off in fact-which is a good sign when it comes to nail varnish in my opinion.
This is a long shot but it it's very similar to OPI's Extra-va-va-ganza which has been discontinued as far as I am aware. So this is a delicious alternative as it is literally 1/5 of the price and is very similar to OPI's so far...  especially the staying power as I have tried both brands. Not bad at all for Primark (as much as I love it). 

I've already had loads of compliments about this nail colour and I am definitely going to go back to purchase lots of more lovely colours.
Have you seen these nail varnishes? How do you like them?
