Nouvelle Vague? Follow Mr Spoon!

Well I am not one to blindly follow trends but tomorrow I have a trendy DO to attend. It's the Habia Hair Show and detail is all when mixing with fashionista beauty industry types. So, naturally I've been on the search for a nice pale turquoise nail varnish, a la Chanel's Nouvelle Vague. A cross between a pastel blue and a mint green, some warmth, no pearliness. Some research led me to China Glaze's For Audrey, only from the USA, and Nail Inc's Haymarket, available here but nearly a tenner. Even Barry M, yhough close, with their shade "pure turquoise", missed the colour by shades. Then I discovered Collection 2000 Button Moon. £1.79 and the exact right colour. Perfect perfect perfect. The pot from Boots and the pot from Superdrug are oddly two different shades. One slightly bluer. For comparison I also got Boots 17 Mint Choc Chip, a warm ice blue. Gorgeous. Close! But no banana. Follow Mr Spoon. £16 for a mail varnish? Nooooo. No need.
