Money is the anthem of success

Anyone who knows me knows I love love love nail varnishes, they're probably one of my favourite products. I own far too many, I'm running out of storage space. My obsession started when I was quite young, about 5/6 years old, as my older sister used to do mine when she did here, and I was hooked! When she moved out she left a lot to me, and I've started my own collection, which is rapidly expanding!
My favourite nail brand is No7, without a doubt. Yes, don't get me wrong I've got a fair few Barry M's in the collection too (you can't resist!), however the Barry M nail varnishes that i have owned/own tend to go very thick and gloopy. I have often wondered if its the temperature of my room, but my other nail varnishes haven't done this. Sorry Barry M, it had to be said! This makes No7 a winner every time.
No7 nail varnishes on a whole are wry pigmented, the collection is full of vibrant colours, in addition to the basics (French manicure, clear,strengthener etc). The consistency is quite thick, meaning only 2 coats is needed, and that applies to the whole collection. They have a great lasting strength too, I've had one colour on for 5 days now, with 2 coats and a top coat, without any touch ups!
I have to admit, I never took any notice of No7 before Boots introduced the '£5 off No7' vouchers, as their nail varnishes are out of my budget at £7 each, whereas they're only £2 with the voucher which is an absolute bargain!
As you can tell by the photo, I'm slowly but surely building up a collection, my favourite is definitely my most recent purchase: 'Cheeky Chops'. It's a coral pink, quite bright with an orange tinge to it. Its went with every outfit I've had on for the last 5 days, it's very versatile.
So there you have it!
What is your favourite nail varnish brand? Do you like No7?
