Marks and Spencer Rainbow

Long Wear Nail Lacquer

Well, well, well. It comes to something when I had to see this on an Australian blog You've Got Nail before I knew it existed. Marks? Marketing? Not in the same sentence, methinks.


Silver holo. 2 coats.
Sounds simple enough.
BUT I've had silver holo before. GOSH holo. Dragged like a draggy thing. Hopeless. It had to go.
This just goes one like a normal polish and you KNOW how awkward holo lacquers can be. So, simple is good. Better than good.

I actually painted this on the nails of both hands and I never do that.
I'm going to layer it with my Jessica jellies tomorrow to make (I hope) a pink holo, a blue etc etc. That's the plan.

Nul points for the choice of name. Rainbow should be banned as a polish name due to extensive overuse. Lamer than a 3-legged donkey.

Likewise red polishes called anything including the words Red Square.

Any cosmetic names you've had enough of?

PS Does Ed Miliband have a cold or does he always sound that nasal? He's beginning to annoy me.

  1. Oooh that's pretty! GOSH holo was a nightmare for dragging and chipping.
    Revlon are quite bad for names. I saw one called 'Pink Again'. I read it as they already had one called Pink, so thought it was similar and called it pink...again.

  3. Marks & Spencer. A British brand. Sorry not to be clear.

  4. This is at least more Rainbow than GOSH's Rainbow, which is lacking several of the spectrum of colors.

    I would like Cotton Candy to be retired as a nail polish color name. I have three or four of them.

  6. hey, thanks for the Eddie picture!! I love him so much and I think he is perhaps the hottest/smartest/most amazing trany I have ever seen anywhere! It is no secret to my hubby that I have a bit of a crush on him, I even have a 5x7 picture of him that I need to send in to have autographed as I went to him most recent show in Vegas, loved it!

  7. Yeah, Cotton Candy. We call it Candy Floss. It's horrible anyway.
