When you're feeling you need to freshen your look, nail varnish has got to be the best quick, cheap fix you can get.
After a rather stressful day at uni, I felt like I needed cheering up and typically turned to the shops to do it. Although a whole new outfit, complete with bag, shoes and jewellery would have been the perfect antidote, unfortunately I'm living on a student budget. So instead I went for new nail varnish. Strange choice you might think, but I think it's perfect for just making you feel that little bit better.
The colour I went for was 'BMX Bandit' by Collection 2000. I'm normally a black, purple, deep red kinda girl, but thought this was the perfect colour for this time of year- fresh and vibrant for the start of spring, without being too summery (we're not there quite yet!). It's a great colour for any situation- funky enough for the evening, yet not too garish for daytime.
For just £1.79 it really cheered me up- I genuinely smiled when I noticed my nails when typing on the keyboard earlier!
There's certain things that I think it's important to spend a decent amount of money on to get good quality. However, I think with nail varnish, unless it's a particularly special occasion or you need it to be particularly chip-resistant for any reason, then cheap will do. If you're only paying a couple of pounds a bottle you can afford to experiment, trying out new colours without worrying you might not like them and never use them again.
Nail varnish adds a finishing touch to your look, and might even make you feel that little bit happier. And all for just a couple of pounds!
