Now before you say anything, I am aware that this isn’t a very January-y polish. I feel like I should be sporting dark reds or vampy shades right now, 
and in fairness, there’s a lot of that going on, but I thought I’d mix it up a bit by showing you a blue creme. I mean, why not? Whilst I might draw the line at wearing shorts and t-shirts this time of year, there’s no real rule to dictate that you can’t wear whatever nail varnish takes your fancy.
Wizened old cynic that I am, it is always a joy when I try out something that I am expecting to be rubbish and actually turns out to be fantastic. behold one such polish. As some of you will know, 2True is a budget brand that is exclusive to Superdrug. They usually have offers on where you can buy three items for £5.00
which is how I think the 2True brand made its way into my collection.
This is quite simply one of the best formulas I have ever used. It is thick but not draggy, pigmented but not staining, and generally awesome. The brush is perhaps a little long for my tastes but that’s me really looking for something to criticise.
This shade is a great vibrant blue. I put it on and really couldn’t stop looking at my nails – they looked so colourful and glossy. I used Seche Vite to dry this in moments and found it to be fairly hardwearing – I got a good three days out of this before it started to look tired.
So, for under £2.00 a bottle, I recommend this highly. OK so the bottles aren’t classy looking and it is a budget brand but I am extremely pleased that I suspended my nail varnish snobbery, as I ended up with something very pleasing indeed.

This colour was one of the many (coughninetycough) polishes I brought back from England – in fact I think I ended up with a few 2true polishes – and I love it!
Wow this looks really pretty. I’ve always passed on 2true polishes as I thought they’re be crap quality as they’re so cheap, but this is making me think again!
Very unusual blue. I can’t think of anything quite like it! Your nails really showcase these funkier colours. Really good to see this.

How refreshing to find a cheaper brand of polish which works, I really like this colour, I have a thing for blues and greens and this looks like it will fill a gap. thanks for this. Jan x
I love this one! I bought it because I didn’t want to spend much on a colour I wouldn’t wear all that often, but it was pretty impressive. They’ve now added three or four darkish reds to the range, if you do want to get more seasonal…
That is one pretty shade of blue. Glad you found a cheap polish that you like.
[…] – I’m now on a mission to collect the rest of the 2True range. I was so impressed with Shade 2, and I’m pleased to say that Shade 1 hasn’t disappointed either. Next time you’re […]
