I love this nail polish soo much! It was a freebie a few Glamour issues ago, and my sister managed to get her mits on it! I borrowed it from her last month, and she let me keep it! What a sweetheart! Warwick Avenue (Nails Inc London) is a soft nude pink peach, with a silky finish, that applies really smoothly.
