Avon - Nail Experts Pearl Shine

Avon are not a brand of cosmetics that I have used a lot of over the years but since the whole Super Shock Gel Eyeliner thing that has been raved about recently (yes I did get one and yes I do love it) I decided to give a few other things a try.

AVON – NAIL EXPERTS PEARL SHINE (10ML normally £6 but currently retailing at £3!!)

What Avon say - ‘fortifies nails for a healthy buffed look without polish’

What I say – What a fab find! This comes in plastic bottle with the brush attached to the bottle neck. It is a thin substance that you squeeze from the bottle onto the brush then apply to nail. It dries quickly and smoothly leaving your nails with a healthy pinky glow. It doesn’t claim to be a polish but has similar ingredients. On this occasion I didn’t apply base coat but used OPI Nail Envy Matte as a top coat. After using the pearl shine I did wipe the brush through with some nail varnish remover.

Now don’t let the thin watery substance fool you, this has staying power! I applied it last Thursday and since then have typed, washed up (without gloves, not something I normally do or would recommend), pealed spuds, done housework, washed hair, used body scrub, etc etc – you get the picture all the things we all do every day BUT – this pearl shine has NOT budged! I can rarely manage to go 2 days without my varnish chipping or wearing at the tip. Also in the time I have been wearing it I haven’t broken or snagged a nail, bonus!!

This will definitely become a must have in my nail routine especially for those times when it’s just not convenient to wear coloured varnish or when I really don’t have the energy for the whole bottom coat, 2 coats, top coat, wait for ages for it to dry and then chip it 2 hours later routine!!!!

Avon products can be purchased from your local Avon representative (who im sure will be extremely grateful for your purchase) or on line at www.avon.uk.com.

Hope you have all had a good weekend.
Lots of Love, Debbie x
