It says 'gel lacquer' but it is just an ordinary polish.

Avon Stardust Nail Enamel - Precious Pink

 For those of you who have been following along (or just know me IRL), I am currently loving glitter! (I am a pretty, if violent, unicorn)

Avon's Stardust nail polish meets my needs :) I have the pink (Precious Pink) and the red (Cherry Dazzler) nail enamels... I have only used the pink thus far.

The great thing about these is there is no need for an undercoat, the photos are after ONLY one coat and the finish is a rather mature matte/textured effect (I put on a shiny top coat though, because there is never enough sparkle for me!)

In terms of lasting strength, it is still going strong on day 3!

Price: 3/5 (rrp $14.99 for 12mL)
Scent: This is nail varnish, stop sniffing it!... 1/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5
