hi all, i decided to make little hamper for hands and nail stuff for nursery 2 stuff, can anyone recommend me cheap bit cheerful nail varnish or hand cream etc...please
thank you very much.

Glamour magazine had a free Nails Inc varnish free in the December issue available in four colours I think. These are normally proced £10 but the magazine is only £2. I bought mine a while ago so not sure if there are any left on the shelves. Mr T now does the cotton gloves for use with a moisturiser a bit like the N07 ones but the packaging is obviously not as nice, they are about £2.30 ish. Do you have any of the JK files?

Thanks ameliamummy.

When I saw these in store I couldn't help but notice how some bottles looked familiar. I think theGirard Provence Spring looks a lot like the Beyond Paradise bottle by estee lauder. Not sure of the scent.




The notes look different...

Beyond Paradise:
Fragrance Type: Prismatic Floral

Top Notes: Eden's Mist, Blue Hyacinth, Orange Flower Templar, Jabuticaba Fruit
Middle Notes: Laelia Orchid, Crepe Jasmin, Mahonia Japonica, Pink Honeysuckle
Base Notes: Natal Plum Blossoms, Ambrette Seed, Zebrano Wood, Golden Melaleuca Bark

Girard Provence Spring opens with top notes of Lemon and Ylang Ylang, supported by a floral heart that combines both White and Pink Roses with Jasmine, underscored with a delicious hint of Clove. The fragrance unfolds, revealing a rich warm base of Sandalwood and Vetiver as well as Buchu Essence, Musk and Vanilla.

Just a thought, anyway.

Yes I agree the bottles do look similar, I had a chat with the perfume lady in one of the stores and she gave me samples of the 3 newer fragrances, i think that they are nice but they are not very long lasting, however the 2 older fragrances are quite strong, also when I have worn the Girard New York Nights, someone did ask if I was wearing Armani code, but I don't know what that smells like so don't know if it is similar or not.

thank you very much.

Have you got any nail files/buffers/gloves/cuticule(sp)cream/nail varnish etc from when the no7/r&m £5 voucher was on? Also, any JK nail files.. as they might be good to use
There's isn't any good glitches/offers i can think of for hand/nail stuff and so on. Maybe it's best to look around eg; s******g etc etc. Sorry i couldn't be much help

The natural collections nail varnish (£1.79) have quite a good range of colours in store and there is a 50 points wyb from the range in the acm at the moment. (on .com they are doing 3 for £5 but don't know if this is in store )
S+G mini hand creams on 342 a free gift bag £2.25
or 17 nail library mini's £10 ( on xmas 342) split up, works out at just over £1 per varnish.
Bobby pin nail files ( if you can't find JK's!) 3 for £3 ( in the xmas 342)

greasy palm 1.75% track very quickly, pay out very sloooowly- watch them tho' I thought I had deleted cookies but they are still tracking boots, but I don't know how (lucky for me, 'cos I forgot to go through them) but tricky if you use multiple sites
I think top cash back are more ? hth
