This is something perfect for Christmas for friends and family that are lovers of nail polish. eNail provide a gift box of 3 nail polishes where you pick the colours, and you name the bottle, how fab is that?
The website is easy to use, you start off by naming your polishes over 3 rows, I named mine 'Pixi3 Polish' using their Andes font. After that, click on 'colours' and click & drag the shades you want over to the bottles, you can chop and change until you find a combination you're happy with. You could stick to one colour family like I did, or pick 3 completely different colours out of 47 shades all together - you also get to pick between cream and glitter polishes. Then, click on 'box' and pick your choice from 12 different designs, I went for a classic black that came with a teal ribbon, which by the way, was very well presented :)
The polishes took about 3 days to get to me, so if you're thinking of ordering this for someone for Christmas, there's plenty of time.
Being the muppet I am, I didn't take any pictures of me wearing the nail polish before I bit all my nails off, and they're now not exactly photo-worthy... For the days I had the polish on my nails (I had the creamy purple shade on and then the dark purple glitter over the top) I can say that the quality was decent. The creamy purple shade needed 2 coats, pretty typical for a nail polish - the colour really reminds me of my favourite purple OPI shade 'Suzi and the 7 Dussledorfs'.
The glitter polish was a different consistency than I'm used to, it was thick and gloopy, this did mean however that it didn't need more than one coat - but I'm not sure if any air had gotten to it, or if it's just a thick consistency. I had both on my nails for 2 days and in that time it didn't chip :)
The brush that comes with the polish is decent too, the bristles aren't splayed and they glide the polish on well.

They've also offered my readers a discount code DISC10 for 10% off orders, another great incentive :) They offer free delivery as standard within in the UK, and a free clear top coat with every order. The RRP is £19.95 but with the 10% discount it makes it £17.96, which for 3 polishes, gift wrapped, isn't bad at all :)
As well as a discount code, there's also a set of these up for grabs, the winner will receive a code to apply which will give them a free box (and free delivery of course) - which you could order for yourself as a treat, or as a Christmas present for a friend or family member - because of how close we are to Christmas, I'm only going to run this giveaway for a week (open to UK residents), so get entering!
What a fab idea and the colours are stunning!
