Avon Matte Nail Varnish - Black As Night Review

I was recently given a bottle of Avon's Matte Nail Varnish in Black As Night. 

I have never used a matte nail varnish and so last night I decided to give it a go.

When I first applied the varnish is appeared to have a gloss to it, but it very very quickly dried and turned very matte. 

I wanted to give it a chance, but I have to be honest I was really not keen on both the quality and the finish of this varnish.

When I  was painting each nail, the varnish was drying so quickly that as I was trying to apply it it was causing the varnish to streak.

This particular colour was a nice true black and I like the colour itself, just not the matte effect.

I would definitely give this varnish a try in another shade and would be interested in trying out matte varnishes and topcoats from other brands.

Below is the finished product :-s

I was also not overly impressed with the lasting power of this varnish. Overnight the varnish had chipped more than I would of expected and I had not done anything out of the ordinary.
Needless to say I have now removed it and I have given myself a nice french manicure.

This picture shows the varnish this morning...

Not nice!!!!

I would be interested to read any comments about this particular varnish, but also let me know any recommendations for other brands. 

Thanks for reading xx

Hello :)

I have finally got my act together .... here is my first blog.  

What with a sick baby and getting ready to go back to work after maternity leave it has been a busy week. Being slightly addicted to Twitter (@MsCherylB183) and YouTube (Channel name - MsCherylB183) also hasn't helped!

For a long time I have loved all things to do with Beauty, Skin Care, Make Up, Hair and so thought I would put this interest to some use and start blogging. 

The plan with this blog is to mainly cover beauty related stuff (reviews, hauls, favourites, etc), but I will also be including other stuff such as meal ideas, weight loss updates, 

general life updates and anything else that I think might be of interest to somebody!

I look forward to getting started and also look forward to getting to know some fellow bloggers. 

If you want to follow me on Twitter my info is above and also, don't forget to check out my Youtube Channel (http:www.youtube.com/MsCherylB183). You can then put a face to the blog! 

Don't forget to follow the blog, let me know your blog links in the comments and I will blog again soon. :) x
