& Other Stories - Nail Colour in Armure Plum - £5

9/10

What I think: When it comes to nail varnishes I need one which is practically idiot proof, it needs to have a nice brush, good colour pigmentation and formula needs to dry quickly. I wasn't expecting anything amazing from these polishes, I just though they would be average. Though I was in store and in the need of a new deep purple polish. Thankfully sorting my nail varnish collection out has made me realise what colours I need to get rather than buying similar shades of what I already have (see post here) 

Pros: 
- I love the brush of this polishes, it is nice and wide and holds the polish on it well.
- The formula is great dries really quickly and brushes on well
- Lasts quite well too, I change my nails up a lot so I would say a good 3-4 days!
- Super glossy finishes
- One of the nicest polishes that I have used in a while will definitely be investing in some more. 

Cons: 
- For the desired effect you need to put 2-3 coats on, I personally put 3 on which I normally only put 2 on with most polishes. 
- I don't like that you have to peel that big sticker off to open the polish because I love the packaging until you need to open it. That and it leaves a sticky bit on the side which you have to clean off. 

I must say the next time I am up in Regents Street I will be getting some more from this collection, I'm just a gutted about the sticker situation.

Have you seem this new brand? Have you visited the store?

    Haha polishes pretty need to be idiot proof for me too, glad I'm not the only one!

    thanks for the heads up for bomb cosmetics - I'd assumed that they deliver just around the UK based on their website :P

    I have Twill Blue and I found the formula a bit rubbish, it chipped after the second day on most of my nails! It's a gorgeous colour though.. and I completely agree with your packaging point! I was so disappointed when I had to peel it off!
