M&S Rainbow... and welcome!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Always Perfectly Polished - my little corner of the internet where I can be totally open about my obsession: nail polish! At last count, my nail polish stash currently contains 115 bottles, but that does not include any duplicates I have.

I thought I would feature my newest polish in my first post on here: Marks & Spencer Long Wear Lacquer in Rainbow. I have been lusting after Rainbow for MONTHS, after seeing it mentioned as a dupe for Gosh Holographic, and have scoured the nail polish stand in my local Marks & Sparks every time I'm in town. I finally managed to get my hands on a bottle yesterday and I Am In Love with this lovely holographic, high shine polish!


(I apologise for the state of my cuticles, the cold weather is playing havoc with my skin)

Rainbow is quite difficult to capture in photos, you have to look quite hard to see the holographic effect! In bright lights it is more obvious, so I did do a little video to show it off a bit better!


After looking at some more swatches of Gosh Holographic, I don't think Rainbow is a dupe. Sadly, I don't have a bottle of Holographic to compare, and considering there are bottles going for as much as £50 on eBay, I don't think I ever will! From the swatches I've seen, Rainbow has a much more subtle effect than Holographic, but it is still gorgeous. I really love the high shine finish, and I think I'll be tempted to try out some more of the Long Wear Lacquer range!

Rainbow costs a mere £7.50 in M&S! Bargain.
