I've recently turned into a bit of a Nail Varnish addict and I love nothing more than trying new ones out and finding a new favourite. For Christmas, my best mate Robyn got me a pretty huge collection Technic Nail Varnishes. I thought I'd try them out and do a bit of a review/haul/collection post for you.

THE PACKAGING
__________________________________________________________________________________
I really love the packaging, and find although the bottles are quite small, they're still a good size, because who act actually finishes a nail varnish? I've had some technic varnishes which are in a different style packaging before, and are a pretty good dupe for the O.P.I. packaging.

THE RANGE OF COLOURS OFFERED BY TECHNIC
__________________________________________________________________________________
Fantastic! In the box Robyn gave me alone, there were 16 different colours, including four glitter varnishes. No two are similar, and a collection this size would offer hundreds of design combinations.

Glitter spreads evenly across your nail
Glitter polishes look great over any nail varnish

Doesn't chip easily

THE CONS
__________________________________________________________________________________
Product is quite thick, so doesn't spread easily.
Darker colours can stain your nails - easily avoided by wearing a base coat

In my opinion, these varnishes are the best thing that Technic offer. They really are great. I've had some glitter varnishes before that don't spread easily on your nails, and just leave a clump of glitter at the cuticle, and I end up dabbing my nails with the brush in a desperate attempt to drop glitter across the nail, and just wrecking all my nail varnish. These aren't like that at all. They're easily buildable and give a really good finish - they feel flat on the nail as well, and not all gritty!

THE CONCLUSION
___________________________________________________________________________________
From reading other blog posts, these nail varnishes seem to be really affordable, but because this was a present I didn't want to go looking for the price. I would definitely go out and buy the glitter varnishes as I've seem really good results with them. I also think there are some really lovely, bright different colours provided by technic so if you're a fan of bright nail varnish, and changing it regularly to match what you are wearing I'd say these are an affordable option!
I hope you've enjoyed this blog post. Thinking about it I'm definitely going to by some more of the glitter varnishes soon, any recommendations?
