NOTD - Accessorize "Fudge"

This was one of the polishes I recently picked up from Superdrug... I've been on a bit of a polish extravaganza recently for some reason, so expect a few more NOTD's (mostly drugstore..) over the next few days!

Accessorize polishes are currently only available in Superdrug, and retail at £4.50 each. They have some lovely shades, ranging from the wearable to the more unusual, so its well worth a look.

The shade Fudge is probably one of the most wearable in the range - Its a nude with a pinky blush undersone to it. Very pretty, very wearable and the pink blush means it works well on pink toned pale hands like mine...

Application was fine - the chunky lid is a bit of a pain to work with, I'd personally prefer a longer handle as it gives a bit more control. The brush itself is quite short and is standard, ie not a flat/wide/"pro" style brush. Personally I don't mind that as often flat brushes are a bit too wide for my nails, especially on the little finger.
It's a polish that definitely needs two coats though - the first coat does go on quite streaky and a little patchy, but the second coat resolves all that.

Wear is pretty average - I noticed some chipping on day 2 of wear, which isn't amazing, so frankly I'd be a little disappointed if I'd paid more for it... I would pick up more from this range though, especially the more unusual shades.

Have you tried any of these polishes?
Would love your thoughts!

@Liloo - yes, I agree, not groundbreaking, just clean looking, and you need stuff like that sometimes lol!

@Marina - Thanks you so much! I actually feel my nails have been looking quite bad lately so you just cheered me right up!

This colour is gorgeous on you. From the few colours I've bought I think the quality varies a little between shades but generally it is ok. The colours definitely make me want to get more though.

I love fudge, but I'd never have thought it would look so nice as a nail colour. I love understated elegant tones so I may have to go investigate!
