George Fast Dry - Hoax

Purple fast dry shimmer  




Hoax is a purple shimmer with very fine red & blue glitter

It might be quick dry but unfortunately this swatch took 3 thick coats, and there's still a bald bit on my ring finger.

I like the colour but the formula didn't really work....

One good point is the price point, only £1.75

George Quick Dry - Martian

Lime green creme

Here's my green for St Patrick's Day, the wonderfully named Martian from George (Asda)







Martian is a Quick Dry polish from George is a, not particularly flattering for me, light lime green creme.  I haven't compared them yet but it looks pretty similar to OPI's Who the Shrek are You?

Swatch is 2 coats with no top coat.  Formula and brush were good and the quick dry didn't cause a problem.

Are you wearing green, nails or otherwise for St Paddys?

George - Prairie Green

Bright green creme




Prairie Green is a mid green creme, a classic grass green colour although I can't say I have a lot of grass green polishes in my collection!

Swatch shown is 2 coats, application and brush were fine, especially for such a cheap polish.  And it's very shiny.

As I mentioned before George is a supermarket brand and this polish was priced at a very affordable £1.50!

Anyone else tried any George polishes?

George - Cloudless Sky

Mid blue creme





This is George quick dry in cloudless sky, a gorgeous, pigmented mid blue creme.

Swatch is 2 coats and no top coat.

For a cheap polish, in fact for a regular price polish, application was great, good brush and formula and not so quick dry it was diffucult to work with.

And what a fab colour and name.


For non-UK gals, George is the brand used by Asda, a UK supermarket chain now owned by Walmart. The brand is named after George Davies who orginally headed up Next, a clothing and home store/catalogue.

I think it's fair to say Asda is a price sensitive supermarket, hence the George polishes are only £2.

I have a number of these to show you over the next week.

And just because I fancied it...




Here it is topped with 1 coat of old Body Shop mini (5ml) in shade 29 Flutter, a sheer turquoise with silver glitter.
