I have about 3 bottles of I'm not really a waitress, was my hero colour when I was a student and I still dream of being that self confident again (its a real tarty red )

They have of course, just done a nail envy only package lol

Have resisted the nail envy, have two bottles and a mini. I love the look of INRA Waitress, but think it might be a bit young for me, if I ever get my nails to a decent length, I might think to the hell with it nd buy it anyway.

I really want Save Me, but not the others, so I will stay strong! I will, I will, I will........

I bought some wrap and glue from Sally Beauty and keep it in my manicure bag, it does work, but I am not good at applying it to my right hand. I think the OPI looked better, being shaped.

Back to the real world, dog has just made muddy foorprints through living room onto pale carpet so out with the wet wipes and down onto knees. Have a great Saturday everyone, keep wallets firmly in bags.

2 OUTS TBS Earth Lovers Shower gel Fig and Rosemary - WBA
Vinies Veda, controversial face mask, from Boudoir Prive box - WNBI, oddly my first pot didn't make me red but the second did. Didn't do me any harm but didn't do anything else either and I'm pretty sure its about £80 a pot!

2 INS - shampoo and hair mask, have these to trial for Acton Moon, no idea who's brand they are.

Four OUTs for me through some sales on another forum:

Paco Rabanne Lady Million EDP 50ml - not sure if I WBA, it smelt OK when I tried it in the shop but now I just think it's not really very me.
Topshop Nails in One Hot Minute - WBA as lovely colour and formula, and very reasonably priced.
Essie Nail Enamel in Lollipop - WBA as I really loved the colour and the formula was excellent, not too thick but still really good coverage.
Models Own Nail Polish in Gold Rush - WBA as it was a nice formula and the coverage was good.

I just told my OH that I am planning this morning's chores around QVC!, he thinks I am nuts, he is probably right. So far I am resisting Bare Minerals, I have just told myselft that I do not need Smashbox and Bare Minerals, my mantra for the next 25 minutes! Like you VALM the OPI will be hard, but I do want to see the colours. I am getting my nails done next week for the first time in 6 months (house move to new area etc), the salon I am trying does OPI, I have counted 7 salons in this very small town-it is a pretty affluent area. Nails at present OPI Moon over Mumbai, does not draw too much attention to the state of them. Leighton Denny Zero Gravity selected for the next paint later.

I had to tape the OPI hour (sad I know) as we take Emma to Karate at 11.00am and I've only just got back in now to find Perricone on which I'm not interested in (way too expensive for me). Have had a look on qvcuk at the Nicky Minaj colours and the Metallic for Life looks nice and that's about it. Leighton Denny has a similar colour in his Atmospheric collection.

maddie, I started a new job in Jan in a different area and near work there are about 3 salons in walking distance - one of which stocks OPI - so will keep it in mind to go to to have my nails done for my hols in August.

Am a bit miffed cos I've had to repaint my nails as the colour I had on earlier chipped off Grrr! Am now wearing Sephora by OPI Ms Can't be Wrong which is an exact copy of OPI Houston We Have a Purple which I own. Not loving it.

You have it bad Adela. Did you purchase? I too own INRAW although I prefer An Affair in Red Square to it.

Googled this colour to have a nosey. V nice.

Another UU since my post earlier - a 15ml tube of Elemis Neck and Bust cream. Have another of these tubes in my stash (keep receiving them in kits). Do love this product - it really works - but not sure I could ever afford to buy a full sized since it's gone up to £75.00. Will have to keep an eye out on ebay for one when I need it. Another £1.00 in the pot.

Im sitting doing uni work while QVC is on........

1 UU

Monu Recovery Balm - 5ml - WNBA, I love it, but i just like the samples


1 OUT

J.LO Glow - I think it had gone off......smelt very very odd!

Adela31

I purchase because another nail has just bent and peeled and gone kinda broken on me again, lack of nail envy is doing it!

First purchase this month

Body shop trio of handcreams set for £5.60. So have 90ml of hand cream to use now although I haven't got any handcream apart from the one that is in my handbag so it is not an absolutely unnecessary purchase. Will go and add them to my list though.

EDIT: just read back a page and realise it is QVC beauty day..... (runs to put telly on).....
