Default Varnish for buzzers

Hello all

Could I get some advice, at the minute we use Sally hard as nails varnish, this seems to go cloudy half way down the bottle, which caused a problem, dose anyone know of a good varnish other than this one, which is £4.75 to buy and is not cheap.
I would like to say thank you to the forum for all the help that we get.
Kind regards

Wullie

Strange. I use that stuff and haven't had that problem.

SHHAN dissolves some rubbers and foams as it has solvents in it and if these get into the bottle they stain it

I use Rimmel 60 second nail varnish at the moment, which I find very good. But the "new craze" seems to be Bugbond, which aint cheap either. Hope this helps.

I just use a bog standard clear nail varnish, 2 or 3 coats provides a lovely finish.

Avon Nail Experts, strong results. My wife bought it for me , honest. I use to also use Veniards clear, black and white varnish but they went solid after awhile and were quite thick to use.

Another vote for Rimmel 60 second. Was using sally's until I spotted a bottle of rimmel on the dressing table So now I've got a free supply, I just need to make sure she's out of the house when I'm in the mood for varnishing!!

£3.25 at Superdrug, never goes cloudy unless I thin it with cellulous thinners but it soon clears.
