    Hmm, its only faintly green and only a tiny part =s
    Theyre the ones you buy and apply yourself, there wasnt any lifting before it came off =s will try the alcohol suggestion thing tonight, thanks!!
    I'll be painting them soon anyway to try and UU some nail varnish lol. For me, nail varnish on my nails last a day (maybe 2) before I start picking, which is why I prefer false nails.

    Are they plain ones or pre-coloured? If they're pre-coloured it could be a dye leak? I use glue-ons when I want my nails to grow - stops me biting them :o

    I totally understand that people are a bit :eek: over FB. I almost deleted mine but decided to keep it as it's the only way I really keep in touch with my pregnant SIL - but it's locked down tight (as xoxo can confirm :p) to stop all the random numpties and skeletons-in-the-closet from adding me :D

    Uhmm, they were kind of plain, with white tips and flowers and a gem on them (all the gems had gone though, lol), so dont think its a dye leak =s

    Ah well, theyre now purple =] Painted with Glo Baby Glo (THANKYOU wonderful handbag of random stuff I carry around all day, lol), will definately need more than one coat though as its quite thin =s

    I dont think I could survive without my FB =] but I also hate random people from way-back-when adding me! Had some girl who used to bully me something chronic when I was small (well, small-er), add me the other day and I was abit like "whhhaat the &$%@!!!!!!"

    One UU for me: Sure Minimising Deodorant: WIBA? well - I'm gonna give it a week before I decide as it seems to have worked at slowing down hair re-growth but presumably a week without using it will give a definate answer :p

    Added those who have PM'd so far! And posted a first swaps list:j



    :rotfl: I tried the umm I can't remember what it is, dove maybe?, minimising deodrant and spent the whole 3 months of using it (in true toiletries addict mode I got about 4 in one go without trying it first :cool: ) moaning about how it didn't work, it was rubbish, I would never buy it again etc etc it was the worst product i'd ever used... then about 2 weeks after not using it I realised how well it had been working when I woke up ape like one morning:eek: (maybe a slight exaggeration) :rotfl: oops:rotfl:

    I found the hair minimising ones dried out my skin though so I don't bother with them anymore:cool:


    I was watching telly last night and saw the ad for Veet Hair Minimising lotion or some such thing and wondered if they really do work, and I thought to myself "hmmmm....I know who to ask"!!

    So, ladies, any recommendations?

    I've not tried any of the lotions. I am tempted to get one and try it on one leg and not the other just to see. But knowing me i'll get confused and swap legs all the time :rotfl:

    That would have been HILARIOUS! Wish I'd thought of sending that message asI declined her friend request! I know people are supposed get more "mature" as they get older, and I definately associated with alot more of the "cool" people in 6 form than in the likes of year 7, but there are just some people that I dont want anything to do with... Even if I am supposed to just think "ahhh we were just kids! It's what kids do!"

    On the same lines though, had another guy add me a while back now, he didnt bully me (as such), he just laughed when everyone else bullied me because I was so far below him on the high school food chain. With his add he sent me a message saying "You have such a great figure now! Will you be a model for me??". Now, I know I'm no Megan Fox, and DEFINATELY not model material so I was just like "how old are you now, and you're STILL trying to humiliate me?!!"
    Ofcourse, I didnt say this, because I was a wimp lol, now I probably would have added in afew snide remarks about his looks too =s Is that bad? lol

    Anyways, </rant>, nack on topic, is hand sanitizer a toiletry? If so, thats an IN for me =[ Quash Hand Sanitizer because I didnt have one in my Mary Poppins bag

    I think the swapsies is a great idea xoxo - I've sent you a pm :)

    Confession time........:o

    I've been in BS today, but only for one of those face brushes - honest guv! but have ended up coming out with a strawberry body butter, shea body butter and gouranga berry conditioner (all samples) - like i haven't got enough stuff to work my way through - it would have been so rude to refuse them though - wouldn't it?:p

    I also have a UU - the sublime mousse hair colour - WBA as I think this might be my HG hair colourant - simply because it was sooo easy to use - will wait and see how the colour lasts though before i confirm this:D
