17 Fast Finish Nail Polish - Navy Glint

First of all, let me start off by saying that I ADORE Navy! It comes in every autumn/winter and I just love it!

I also love anything sparkly, I guess I must have been a magpie in a previous life!

So if anything combines these 2 things I'll be pretty impressed!

I already own 2 navy nail polishes (1 from Barry M and 1 from Rimmel) and funnily enough I was wearing the Barry M one when I purchased this 17 version from Boots last week.

17 seem to be exclusive to Boots so this is the only place you'll be able to pick it up. They don't have their own website but you can find them on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The bottle is brandishing a 'new' sticker so I'm guessing it must be new shade released for this season, it was also a purse pleasing price of £2.99

 

As you can see, it looks lovely and sparkly while it's still in the bottle :D

 

 

Its quite a typical 'navy' colour (if there is such a thing as a typical navy) with flecks of white/silver glitter.

 

The polish is a nice consistency, not to thin and not too thick and covers well.

 

Because it applies well you probably could get away with only using one coat, I wanted a full on colour though so I applied 2 coats, it also dried pretty quickly which is always a bonus, I hate sat around waiting for my nails to dry not daring to touch anything ... or breathe! (okay, that last point might be a bit excessive, but you know what I mean)

 

 

 

I must say that I'm pretty impressed with the colour! My main concern with shimmery/glittery finishes is that they can sometimes look a bit OTT for general everyday use, but this one is actually quite subtle.

 

You can tell the glitter is there but, like its name, its more of a glint.

 

 

 

See what I mean? I'd like to point out that I haven't applied a top coat, its usually my rule of thumb to whack on a top coat as soon as my polish is dry but this one looks so nice and glossy without it so I decided not to bother!

 

I usually find that glitter polishes seem to go longer without chipping too so I'm interested to see how this one pans out.
