This was very very kindly gifted to me by the lovely Lipglossiping - her blog is fantastic, complete with amazing photos, and if you don't already read it, then you can check it out HERE. Her blog is essential reading for me. She is humourous, honest and covers some great brands...
Lipglossiping recently claimed in this post that ASDA must be killing fairies for their blood to create these polishes, and I have to agree, there is something very special about these... Amazingly they apparently cost a mere £1.50 each? How is this possible? Yep, the bottles are a bit smaller than OPI, at 5mls, but at least you know they won't go gloopy before you use them up...
This is the shade "Deceit", which is a shimmering gunmetal grey-blue shade. Formula wise, this was fab, neither too thick or too thin. Application was a cinch, with a decent brush, considering the price range, and yes, they are indeed fast drying- I'd say 5 minutes to touch dry.
The pic above shows a two coat application, whilst below is a close up of one nail;
So there you go - basically, these polishes get a big thumbs up from me - Price wise they are fab, and formula wise they tick all the boxes. And judging by Lipglossiping's ravings thoughts on the matter, there are also some lovely shades. I'm planning on a special ASDA trip just to check out more of these!
Oh - any thought on the pics too? I have a new camera and I am still getting used to the vast array of settings - all tips and pointers greatly appreciated!

Happy New Year hun :)
I wish my Asda sold makeup but they got rid of the whole lot a couple of years ago. I've got a couple, they're lovely polishes!
The pictures off your new camera look fab! It's all trial and error with new cameras :)
I spotted these polishes on Lipglossiping's blog too and have been trying to track them down ever since. I went to an ASDA when I was back at the rent's for Xmas but they didn't have George make-up, but did have some ASDA polishes- but they wern't anything special. Anyway, hopefully I'll manage to find them somewhere soon! Till then, I can just oggle them on other lovely blogs.
I have three of these, this one Deciet (my fave, it's a unique colour to my collection), Under the Sea and Blue Lagoon. I was surprised by how good the formula was too. Will be picking up some of their pastel shades for spring:)
I love these, I love the pastel coloured ones including streamer. I also really reccomend their undereye concealer pen. I prefer to touche eclat and its £3.50!! xx
@Shifa - Thank you, and happy new year to you too! xxx
@Sirvinya - thats a shame, these are a real bargain - I think the next few weeks will be trial and error with the cam!
@Kerri - thanks for commenting, I'll have a look out for the pastel shades - I love those for spring!
@Francesca - thanks so much for commenting - I'll look out for that! x
Gorgeous colour - looks lovely with your skintone!
Tesco's polishes are really great quality too - both Barbara Daly and their dirt cheap variety. Need a good topcoat to last, but they have some lovely dark shades. In my local Tesco Superstore they've reduced a lot of them to clearance - I can smell a packaging redesign coming on! Worth snapping them up for 40p though :)

That really is a stunning color, I wish they would have asda here where I live..
@Mimimimimakeup - good spot! Will take a look at the tescos ones too!
@HeidiB - Oh, Hopefully you have an equivalent! Thanks so much for your comment xxx
So pleased you like it! Your pics are looking great! You have to try that gilded olive one and the indigo blue - they're my two total favs! Makes such a change to be able to buy a whole bunch of polishes without feeling guilty about how much you've spent!
@Lipglossiping - I love it! Thanks so much, and I love the look of the other colours you have tried too.. xxx
i have tried the dark navy one, its so pretty! if only i had nice long nails again to buy more! x
I love George nail polishes! I have quite a few and there hasn't been one I've tried and haven't liked yet. :)
i saw the new George varnishes and bought 6 straight away lo..well at £1.50 why not.
Ive tried ultra violet, which is reviewed on my blog, and its a lovely lilac/teal shimmer, but does need a creme under colour to really make it stand out.
Ive got Deceit and also mysterious and Dazzle which is my favourite.Thats a stunning dark indigo base with teal shimmer.That doesnt have to have a creme base as much as ultra violet does.
ultraviolet is fab,3 coats was all i needed to make it stand out,im wearing it now!
