5 best nail polishes for under £10

We’re big fans of painted nails here at Westfield HQ. We’re always up for trying out the latest shades and brands. We have even been known to try out a new polish at our desks (sshhh, don’t tell!).

If you’re looking for a new nail polish and you don’t want to spend a fortune, we’ve discovered some great brands which won’t break the bank. We recommend them for colour, easy application and they’ll last you for at least a weekend. Best of all, they all cost under £10. We reckon that some of these are equal to, if not better than, some of the much more expensive nail polishes around.

So if you like to update your nail polish to match your latest outfit, we suggest you give these nail polishes a go. They have great new season colours too. Look out for autumnal hues and this season’s nudes and steely greys in particular.

Autumn nails: spend or save?

When Chanel launched their new khaki-coloured trio of nail polishes last month, people went crazy for them. The three camouflage shades – khaki brun, khaki rose and khaki vert – tone in perfectly with the A/W 10 colour palette. The super stylish, neutral matte polish is swiftly becoming a classic.

But, do you want to pay around £16 for a nail polish? Well, you don’t have to. Our lovely friends at Topshop have a great range of nail colours available from £5 each. We are big fans of Topshop nail polish here. The quality is great, it applies well and it stays chip-free for a decent amount of time too. Plus, the fabulous names really make us smile! Today, I’m wearing ‘Geography Teacher’ and I reckon that by the weekend it’ll be the turn of ‘Remember My Name’.

The new ‘it’ polish of the season

Get set to pounce – the nail varnish of the season hits stores on Friday 13th August. Perfectly manicured claws will be out to grab the new Autumn/Winter 2010 must-have shade by Chanel – Paradoxal.

We’ve seen a fashionista frenzy before with Chanel’s hot nail polishes. In AW 2009 it was Particulière that flew off the shelves, then along came the gorgeous minty green Jade Rose which we’re still loving now. We’re sure that Pardoxal will cause the same buzz.

Aptly for autumn, Paradoxal is a kind of aubergine shade. It’s purple with grey tones which are hot shades for the new season. Paradoxal coloured nails will look fabulous holding on to this season’s must-have ladylike bags.

No fashionista should be without it. Hurry to House of Fraser or Boots and get your hands on Paradoxal this Friday!
