Penny Pinching Polish

28/07/2012

technic carnival When I saw this nail polish on blogs and vlogs I got a serious case of the want-want-neeeeeeds. It is actually a dupe for much more expensive nail polish from the OPI Muppets collection which made me make a noise a bit like this 'hummnahummnahiiiiingh' but alas was out of my price range even if it did have me panting out cool noises.

The polish is Technic Carnival and I picked it up after seeing Essie Button link to the place she'd bought it from after one of her videos. Ahhh maaaan I love it, it is jam packed full of huge chunks of glitter, it lasts well and a little goes a long way. I believe you can pick this up in some Bodycare shops but I've searched high and low and not been able to find any so I got mine from this eBay seller for £1.20. Bargain.

  6. I'm wearing this polish right now, paid about £2 on ebay for it though so saving that seller you got yours from!

  7. I love a good glitter polish and for that price this seems like an absolute winner! I've got mainly Barry M glitters because the price of OPI makes me weep, but I love that this one has more chunky glitter!

  8. I bought this a few months ago in The Original Factory Shop for £1. There are some good make up and beauty bargains there but it is a bit like the pound shops - their stock changes all the time. Worth a look if you have one nearby :-)

  16. If there's a poundland near you they do a fairly good dupe for £1 too.

  17. This looks amazing! What a great buy, especially compared with a lot of other glitter polishes! At the moment I love the 'angelica' glitter from primark, after 2 coats it turns an opaque glitter shade and lasted a week on me without any peeling!

  23. Oooo pretty! That would look nice over some black/navy blue or red at christmas!!

  24. The price different between this Technic polish and the Opi ones is actually ridiculous! This looks to be just as good!! xo

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have the Essence Circus Confetti one and it's exactly the same as OPI Rainbow Connection, which I had and I hated. Overpriced and Overrated! I've never heard of Technic, I like the look of it.

  26. Ooooh how I love glitter nail polish! However it#s always such a pain in the ass to remove it later on, boo... ;)
    Unfortunately I'm not wearing anything on my nails today, but in general I've been in love with my bronze/golden Astor polish recently :)

    Happy Sunday!
