There I was, just innocently queuing to pay for a basic tee and two pair of leggings in H&M, when this shimmering beacon to the left of me caught my eye. I had never paid much attention to the H&M nail polishes until then, but on impulse, I picked up this intriguing shade and popped it in my basket.
No Mambo Jambo (£2.99) is a gorgeously iridescent polish, which I would describe as peacock-green with blue shimmer. It changes colour in every light and with every movement. I love the chunky, slightly stunted bottle and bold lettering. I wasn’t expecting great things from this product but am actually very impressed. Below represents the polish after just two coats.
I only painted my nails last night so cannot comment on its staying power but the consistency of the polish was easy to work with, not too thick and not at all streaky. I would definitely return and pay a little bit more attention to the other colours from their range.
Apologies for the diddy nails on my index fingers – does anyone else have certain nails that just refuse to grow?!
Let me know your thoughts on this colour? Have you tried any of the H&M nail polishes?
That colour looks stunning, a real eye-catcher. Ive never tried H&M polish either, but it could be something I look at now. Great Post x x
my thumb nail refuses to grow! x
I have yet to try any of the H&M cosmetics but this shade is just lovely xx
My index nails are always the shortest and first to break but i think its because of typeing at work
Wow! Such an unusual colour, but so gorgeous!
& yes my index finger nails never seem to grow either!
I've just put up my NOTD – have a look & follow if you like?
Thank you

I have this and I love the colour but I find it chips pretty easily 🙁 (although I'm hard on my nails, polish rarely lasts more than 4 days on me).
I hope you used a good base coat as it also stains pretty badly!
Despite these two things, I still wear it a lot as it looks so great. 🙂
Ooh what a gorgeous colour 🙂 great post 🙂 will have to check the other shades in this range out! x
That is amazing for 2 coats! what a gorgeous colour too! x
That nail polish looks amazing, really pigmented. Definately going to check them out 🙂 x

I love the colour! I've never even tried any nail polishes from h&m but this one looks too pretty to pass up! Can you do a new recipe post soon, I absolutely love them and trying out new treats to bake xx
H&M actually do really good quality & good value for money nail polishes! Also my index finger on my right hand doesn't grow either hah, I think it's 'cause it's always pushed into pens when I write -.- x
This is lovely! Never looked at H&M polish either. Probably shouldn't have read this post as I have about a million bottles of polish that I hardly use! x
Wow, this looks absolutely amazing! I might have to try one of their polishes now then!
Why not check out my new beauty blog, The Glossy Guide?
Really nice shade there…I also reccomend Accessorize nail polishes
that colour looks amazing, i really like it 😀

Hi Milly,
I have nominated your blog to receive an award.. please check my blog post to redeem it =D thanks for your work!
I've never paid attention to their make up but the nail varnish looks lovely with the subtle shimmer. Will have to keep a close eye out for them next time I go shopping x
That colour is simply gorgeous! I think i have some of a similar shade but none with that pretty shimmer :).
What a fantastic color! I'm going to run out and get it as soon as I'm near an H&M!
This is gorgeous! I have read so many good reviews about h&m polish. I bet this looks amazing in the sunlight xxx
What a fabulous color! I am guilty of passing by the "store brand" nail polishes just because I assume they'll be crap..but yeah, they really are worth a look! The ones at Forever21 are beautiful and actually good quality..who knew? I really love this color, it looks amazing on! I'm gonna give those polishes another look next time I'm at H&M!
I have similar one from Revlon, but I bet H&M one was much more cheaper. Very curious to hear how long it will last chip-free. 🙂 X

haha i have the same problem, my nails on those fingers just wont grow!
You reminded me how amazing H&M nail polishes are, I found mine yesterday. I have 'Fashionista' which is a deep, bright, purple colour. it's so vibrant, and I've had so many compliments about my nail colour! No Mambo Jambo is a beautiful colour, looks great on your nails! xoxo
Gorgeous colour!
Perfect for summer, especially with the pretty shimmer xx
That colour is beautiful!
and you have really nice nails too x
I've been wanting this sort of colour for ages! It looks gorgeous 🙂
