Avon Nail Wear Review

Halli Hallo


I'm a big fan of having my nails painted but I don't like spending too much on beauty related products so am always searching for nail varnish that does the job in a pretty colour at a reasonable price (under £8 imo). 

I used to work for Avon Cosmetics so I have tried lots from their range including their nail varnish collections. They have a pretty broad spectrum of colours (+25) and are affordable (£6 RRP but are very often on offer for £3).They have 4 main ranges of nail varnish; nailwear pro, colortrend, speeddry+ & matte. They also have seasonal colours.




The Review:
For this review I'm going to focus on nailwear pro (the rest are very similar though). If you'd like to check out their range click here, currently on sale for £2.99. First thing to note is the extensive range of colours, this I was very delighted with. 

Packaging wise they come in cute clear bottles, with a nice round brush, I found the bottles easy to open and close with no mess. Application was straight forward, drying time I found to be average. The actual colours themselves are very pigmented, 2 coats are defiantly sufficient. Wear was better than average, I could wear it for around 2-3 days before any chips arrived (this is with me not being particularly careful of my nails - doing dishes etc). Overall I like these, they may not be my all time favourite but I do think they are totally worth the money. 



Overall score: 7/10
