8. 17 SOLO SHADOWS
17 solo shadows give results that are very expensive looking with brilliant intensity. They're highly pigmented and particularly good for nights out.

Compares to: the deep shades can be compared to the results you'd get from Dior and Nars shadows.

9 L'ONGLEX
Takes even the darkest varnish off easily and quickly – therefore good for the environment too as you use less cotton pads! The oily formula means it’s kind to nails – acetone free is the kindest.
Price

Can I read a review: yes click here - and make sure to read the comments, it was tested by Beaut.ie readers prior to launch and they loved it.

10 VASELINE SHEER INFUSIONS
