    My nails have chipped again despite two top coats last night. :mad: They don't usually chip this quickly so i'm blaming the crackle varnish.

    Todays nails are Rimmel I love lasting finish fruities (the scented ones) in Cranberry Zest with the crackle. Though I've decided for bold and bright colours to no longer use the crackle. It just doesn't complement it very well. I tweeted nails inc that they should bring out a white-ish or silver-y one (like floral street) to put over darker colours - in theory I think it would look pretty good :D

    oooh smelly nail varnish????????????

    How did I not know that there was such a thing as scented nail polishes??!!!! Might have to go and investigate...:rotfl:If you find the crackle polish looks a bit dull, trying using a clear top coat, I've found it seems to make the stronger colours stand out a bit more. A silvery crackle would be lovely! I'm not so keen on the new Barry M crackles - white, and rather insipid pale pink and blue. I do really want that purple nails inc crackle though! :rotfl:I keep thinking about it! :rotfl:

    I cant see how white would cover a dark nail varnish very well. Not sure about pink or blue either.......though the girls both want to try these out. Silver crackle would be my "want" colour although this purple sounds lush :D

    I'm currently typing with a planet spa thermal face mask on, planet spa deep conditioner in, and my feet have been soaked, pumiced, scrubbed with Avon foot spa watermelon scrub. I now have planet spa volcano paraffin hand and foot treatment on my feet which are also wrapped in clingfilm with a pair of fluffy socks over the top! Now about to the do the same with my hands!

    Enjoy your saturday :D

    Sounds like heaven :)

    On the subject of Body butters, superdrug's own brand are lovely, I think they are called naturals, and are £3.87 ish, as good as BS but 1/3 of the price. HTH


    I'll second that. SD butters are fab!! I don't think I'd go back to BS ones again, except maybe Moringa as a treat.

    I'm looking at the Avon book and thinking of getting one of the regime packs. I need a new eye cream and as that is the one full size item I'm tempted, as it should be £19 on its own but its £10 for the set:D I have a question for the Avon ladies on here, how much are the full size sets going to be?


    Had a lovely pamper this morning, a bubble bath, applied some Scrub Your Nose In It and left on for 10 mins, a wash with Champneys Citrus Glow b/w followed up by the matching lotion, Olay 3 Point serum followed by 30 Second Wrinkle Filler and BS Elderflower eye gel, filed my feet and smothered in Avon Spa Shea foot butter stuff, then filed my nails and applied Sally Hansen nail thickener as a base coat, 2 coats of Wet n Wild in Shield (metallic gold) and 2 coats of Sally Hansen top coat. Oh and a dash of CK One as I'm feeling quite summery with the sun being out :j

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    orange soda
    sherbit lemon
    both these colours have separated at the top , time to bin?

    I think, as long as they mix properly when you shake them ( have to shake them till you can hear the beads rattling) they are usually ok? (either that or I may have found the reason that Im not very good at wearing it,all mine are too old...)

    thanks for the wishes for Red peeps - you will all be honorary god parents wont you?? :D
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
