Wow,that sounds great:j, I could justify pretty much everything except the cleanser, the body products always make great gifts if I can bear to let them go. I have a melting gel cleanser, I find it OK, but prefer LE C&P (1 in stock) and the Elemis Pro-radiance Cleanser (1 in use and 1 in stock). Thanks for the heads up. I must keep shovelling the loose change into the savings pot in readiness.

I am gonna have to be strong and try and resist this one. I like evilsquid am not a fan of the melting cleansing gel. I have one in my stash to use next and I'm not looking forward to it. It is very oily.

Anyone any tips on good products to use on the splits/hacks on the skin I get at the corners of my thumb nails.

Thanks

Only to keep moisturising them. I'm using OPI Avoplex oil on mine at the mo.

*shuffles into naughty corner, hangs head in shame *

Have been slightly naughty and bought 2 issues of Red just for the freebie nail varnish, then went to nails inc which is never a wise move for me, then ended up in TK Maxx where a Leighton Denny gift set persuaded me to part with my hard earned cash, so a few 'ins' to declare:

Nails inc: nottinghill gate

Leighton Denny:

Vamp
Crushed grape
Tiffanys
Show off
Doing time
Attention
Miracle drops
Corrector liquid
Remove & rectify
Best defence hand &nail cream 20ml

I think I need a 'No buying nail polish' thread!

What a lovely haul. Which ones came with the Red mag? Thankfully, I am nowhere near a TK Maxx anymore.

I've repainted my nails this am with Leighton Denny All About Me.

Thank you, the Red freebies were Vamp (very dark red/burgundy) and Crushed Grape (absolutely gorgeous berry colour), there is a third colour as well, a pale pink but I couldn't see it on the shelf. The offer seems to be specific to M&S as I haven't seen it anywhere else.

I don't often see L Denny in TK's but on this visit there were 4 different sets available and I really had to persuade myself to only buy one!!!!

Which brand were the ones with Red? Not that I'm buying...

I do see LD in TK Maxx when I've popped in (there's not one near me either), but usually I'm with somebody (I cannot buy when somebody's with me, they know my 'problem'), so every time I look, long, and walk away. I guess I should always take somebody shopping with me, but it's online that's my downfall

I really want to try Seche Vite, but trying to UU the Nails Inc Caviar ones I have. My nails have started peeling, I think since I started using base coat more regularly, so I'm wondering if that's to blame?

Aww Adilade Use it on the days you can't pray!

NPI Arran Aromatics (Which I'd never heard of before this thread) Hand Wash & Hand Lotion set from Debs (abput £7.50 from £25ish). There's no point in buying something nice for home, sister2 is slightly OCD about handwashing, and so has super-dry skin, and she'd be through it in no time. I did contemplate getting it for work, but I can just decant shower gel into a pump bottle, I have enough of it!

2 INs and 2 UU's for me...

The shampoo and intensive conditioner I was sent to trial, I suspect it's Avon but I'm not sures so can't buy again although it was lovely and really hydrating/softening/defrizzing!

Clarasonic hydro Cleanser - glad to see the back of this, i hate how it smells, WNBA
TBS Morrocan Rose Body Butter - s'alright.
