NOTD: Virgin Vie Shocking Pink & George Jackpot


After clearing out my nail polish box and seeing what colours I've got I've started to use some that had been locked away for years. They were in nail polish jail but not anymore!

Back in the day I really liked Virgin Vie. One of the girls I used to work with was a rep so I would always pick up some nail sets everytime they were discounted. All the Virgin Vie polishes I own are 5+ years old and still going strong, and all the shades look exactly the same on the nail as they do in the bottle. They're easy to apply and the gloss on this shade was amazing even before I added top-coat.

I picked Jackpot up last year in Asda, its a clear polish with teeny tiny sparkles of silver glitter. The glitter isnt dense at all, its never going to be opaque but it looks really pretty layered over certain colours. Its so subtle that most of the time its not obvious you're wearing glitter, it just makes whatever colour you're wearing look a lot more glossy.

Products Used:
Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Base Coat
Virgin Vie Shocking Pink (2 coats)
George Jackpot (1 coat)
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri

What polish are you wearing this week?

    1. Thanks :) I love a good pink but have been wearing more muted shades lately, The sun made me want something a bit brighter though.

  2. I love how you've layered it with the sparkles! The glitter is just the right size. I hate chunky glitter!

    1. Ahh I love chunky glitter but sometimes its a bit OTT. I love how small the glitter is in this polish.

    1. I very rarely get to Asda but when I was there just before Christmas there was so many different colours :) I'm not sure if all stores have the make up/nail polish range but its worth having a look.
