Hi everyone :)
Today I have on a neon pink jelly polish that has black and white glitter in it. I really loved this polish when I saw it in Claire’s but when I picked it up to use it yesterday, the bottom of the bottle was yellow. I’m not sure what happened but the overall polish took on a slight yellow tint which really annoyed me.
Although I love the new range of polishes in Claire’s and they are reasonable priced, they are more expensive than Essence or Catrice and regardless of the price, I don’t expect polishes to change colour. I’m hoping this was a one time bad formula and the other polishes I bought will stand the test of time but this, along with a rude check out girl, has meant that I haven’t been back to buy any more from them.
Here’s a link to the other Claire’s glitter that I already showed you, Digi Pop.
Claire’s Splatter Pink. Three coats and a coat of Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Gel Effect Top Coat.
Do you guys have any Claire’s nail polishes? What are they like?
Thanks for looking :)

I bought a few Claire’s polishes recently but haven’t tried any of them yet.
I think this splatter polish looks really pretty but I do see a slightl yellowish tint too.
I guess this one’s meant to be used up quickly.

Lol yeah, there should have been an expiration date on it :) I can’t wait to see you post the ones you bought and see what they’re like :)

The Claire’s polishes are on top of my “to look for” list. I know they’re in one of the boxes, I just need to find them. Oh, and the Sour Apple Sugar Coat. I’ve found all the others but not this one. One day they’ll all show up when I least expect it, I’m sure.

Ahh I understand completely! When you’re looking for a different polish you’ll keep finding those and when you want those you’ll only be able to find other polishes! :)

Hey, I found SH Sugar Coat Cherry Drop. Now I just need to find the Sour Apple…
In another week or two the Essence glitter topper will miraculously make an appearance too, I’m sure.

You have the most perfect nail shape. *jealous*
How do you manage to apply nail polish in coats? Whenever I apply more than one coat it tends to look like puddles. I don’t know if I’m making sense but it always ends up looking uneven. I also never wait long enough for my nails to dry. I’m sitting at my desk with thick peach/orange nails. :(

Aw thank you so much! You’re so sweet! :)
I do wait for the polish to dry between coats, (using a fast dry top coat really helps, like Essie Good To Go or Seche Vite) and then I make sure there is a drop of nail polish on the brush and lightly brush it down the middle of my nail and then either side. I actually learned to do it from this blog post :

I hope that helps :)

That’s pretty, but the black reads brown through the pink jelly – it sort of reminds me of the colouring of a Manhattan cocktail. Claire’s polishes are really not that great. I bought this layered polish one time (like, five colours layered in one bottle), and I don’t know why on earth I thought it would come out of the bottle as anything other than a muddled orange mess, but of course it did! And as I recall, it wasn’t inexpensive either. You’re right, Essence or Sally Hansen are far better bets (and MUCH better quality.)

The polish has a yellow tinge (more apparent irl) to it and that’s why the black reads brown :( It’s a shame that your experience with Claire’s polishes wasn’t good either. I guess we’re sticking to other brands :) Thanks for your feedback! :)

I like it though,it’s gorgeous. But I must say the girls in Claire’s are a bit full on,very pushy,and often ratty, so I don’t go in very often myself . But their nail Polish is glittery and lovely. Your nails are always so neat and the nail polish looks lovely on you.
