Marks and Spencer jewel nail polish - NOTD

Gold, green and red are the first 3 colours that come to mind when I think of Christmas. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of gold or green nails, but I am liking this limited edition Marks and Spencer Jewel nail polish:

I'd describe Jewel as a beautiful pinky red colour with plenty of shimmer particles. For a shimmer polish, it was surprisingly pigmented and only needed one coat for an opaque even colour. The brush was a tad on the thick side, so it was hard to get a neat edge at the cuticles, but if you have a nail varnish remover pen to hand, then it's quick and easy to tidy up. It's also part of their quick dry range, which means I didn't have to wait around for long.

Overall, considering the price (£3.50), I think this is a great nail polish. M+S isn't the first store I think of when I want to treat myself, but judging by the quality of this nail polish, I'll definitely be taking a closer look at their make up collection next time I'm in store.
