Before the Brighton Blogger Meet last month, Nail Girls had very kindly looked at our blogs and chosen a colour which they thought would suit our tastes. Each was tagged, carefully wrapped in cellophane and bowed, and a little note was written to each of us.
I received Pink #7 Bubblegum Cream, described on the Nail Girls website as 'a vivid bubblegum pink cream nail varnish. This scorching shade looks fabulous on all skin tones and
is perfect for hot sunny days'.
I'm really pleased with the colour choice; with one coat this polish applies as an almost pastelly candyfloss shade but with two coats to build up the colour its a light but bright bluey bubblegum which is a lovely addition to my almost completely pink collection.

The brush on these polishes is a lot longer than others I've used, meaning it picks up a lot of polish and I can do more than one nail with one dip. Despite being quite an opaque formula it dries quickly which is really good for impatient madams like me!
What has really impressed me about this polish is how well it wears on my thin flaky nails, usually I can barely get one day of wear before literally half of the polish has disappeared from at least two of my nails. With this polish I managed a full 24 hours with perfect colour and another few days with just touch-up-able chips before my nails started their usual silly business.
Nail Girls, apart from offering a range of nail colours and treatments, also have a nail spa based in Islington which boasts a Drying Lounge and Spa Garden. Their polishes are all vegan friendly plus Toluene, Formaldehyde, Phthalate and Camphor free which is a big plus for me as if you read my OPI post from a while ago you'll remember that I'm not too keen on the thought of formaldehyde on my nails.
Although this polish is a little more pricey than I usually go for, it wears so well on my nails that I'd definitely purchase some more for myself and I have my eye on Pink #12 Electric Cerise Foil and Blue #2 Vivid Mediterranean.
