Guess again, guys
Cheap nail varnish chips and flakes in a day or 2 even if you layer it on. The good stuff lasts and you only need one layer. Though of course just paying silly prices for a name brand doesn't mean that it'll actually be good, but you can absolutely guarantee the cheap market stuff will be shit.

^ This.
I used to think that it was the same and silly to pay more. I spent years with blobby nails that chipped all the bloody time. Now I spend a few quid a bottle and behold- I have never been happier with my nails. They look a bit crap naturally so it pleases me to have them looking nice for once. =D

An analogy for other blokes:
I view cosmetics in the same way as engine oil, HiFi components and other luxury items.
Yes, some of the more expensive ones aren't much better than the mid range ones, and certainly not as many times better as the price is, but if you want better you do pay more -- the trick is working out which is best for you.
