One coat isn't enough and even two coats doesn't cut it. I bought a peachy limited edition shade for my holidays and after one day it's looking faded and uneven. Sorry no.7 I usually like your products but not this one.

Excellent nail varnish. I have been wearing this for the last 2 weeks and it has NOT chipped, still looks fresh and very shiny. I used a base coat, 2 coats of Pillar Box Red, then a top coat also from the same range. Very pleased!

I bought this on a whim with some other essentials I needed, in palest pink. Wow! I normally wear an almost-clear pink shellac, as I wash my hands a lot for my job and found this protected my nails and let them grow long. But it takes a while to cure it etc. and soaking it off in acetone is not much fun... This new polish is the same lovely almost-clear shade that keeps my nails natural. The consistency is more like a gel polish and I think where people comment that they can't work with it, it may be because they try to apply it like a normal polish. I apply in three quite thick strokes, and then let the formula do the work - this formula, much like shellac, spreads itself over the nail when you leave it alone, very evenly and smoothly. Don't try to overwork it! Contrary to a couple of other comments I found it dried really quick, and I could get on with light tasks within 15 minutes. I wore this for a hard working fortnight with only a few chips and almost forgot it wasn't my shellac until I came to take it off and reapply... and it was gone with a sweep of cotton! I am totally converted and plan to buy this in every single colour!

I've not had much luck with nail varnish when I attempt to use. I'm always left unimpressed by the fact it chips whenever I try to do anything eg cleaning and everyday activities. However, this lasts days before any chips and even then the chips are small at the tip and don't show much. I have found this varnish starts to dry very quickly so I have to work fast to apply an even coat but it takes a while to dry thoroughly. Depending on the shade you can get away with one coat. I have the clear top coat but I don't find that this prevents chipping for longer or adds more shine. The colours are very glossy on their own. I'm happy to have found something that gives me a cheaper and less harsh alternative to shellac for special occasions and times when I just want a bit of colour that will last 4-5 days.

Great nail polish - real glamour look with high shine. Stays on well for a week without chipping too

This is the worst product I have bought for a long time, put the polish on last night and chipped already. Gloopy and dragging which gives a terrible finish. Rubbish value for money and false promises - gel look, looks terrible.

I bought 'Summer Holiday" and it's the prettiest colour! It's a coral pink - just gorgeous. The colour on the Website looks completely different so don't be put off. I bought instore and there are a good range of colours - I want to try them all! This colour will also look perfect on my toes in Sandals. I found the application good - not streaky - and glossy. I have had paler colours before in no7 (not this Gel type) and found them to be not that great - so I will be interested to see how the other colours fare, but this one is certainly one of my new favourites!

I love these nail polishes because the brushes are the perfect size making the application easy and fast. They dry so fast and the colour is so pigmented.

This is by far the worst nail polish i have ever used, i have it in deep wine its a lovely colour but it doesn't last a day without starting to chip. i won't be repurchaing!

I have bought quite a few of these shades as I switched from the stay perfect range as these had loads more colours that appealed to me. The first shade I purchased was 'Hotting Up' which was fantastic and you REALLY could get away with one coat (also chips far less with only one coat). Since this I have been and bought many more shades and I have found that while the solid colours can cover with one coat, the more glittery shades need at least two for full coverage (e.g. Moon Shimmer). That said I recently bought 'Galaxy' and looks to be a wonderful glittery wine colour in the bottle, I actually found it to be navy blue with burgundy glitter...slightly peculiar. I would recommend the fantastic solid coloured shades though (Purple Bouquet and Pillarbox are great and have received many compliments!). I would definitely check the colours out in store though first!
