    Nails OPI Yo-gota-get-this-blue (or something like that). Used a Barrielle quick dry top coat - only it did not seem to want to dry! Rescued it by opening a new (from stock) bottle of Nails Inc Caviar top coat, pretty impressed, think I might have to do a test alongside Seche Vite. Lovely and shiny and dry in a flash. Left hand looks perfect with no clean up needed, right hand needs patient careful attention!

  • I should really start doing up my nails, they are in such a bad state. I usually only get the urge to do something about it during summer, winter times my colours turn dark which looks good but i prefer brighter colours. I usually buy mine from superdrug as they have a big selection on nails. Currently i love my dark chocolate brown shade
  • OMG!!! How have I not seen this thread before?!

    I am a massive fan of nail polish... I even have a blog - www.nailmelibby.blogspot.com

    Im always updating about new polishes and about nail art. :j

    SO excited about this thread eeeeek

    oh oh oh oh oh ... i LOVE your marble effect tutorial ... so gonna try that thanks :)
  • China Glaze you can either get from Sallys or The Beauty Partnership. I love the look of quite a few of the news ones - might completely miss out on the Holland Collection to get a few of these. I'm not quite as obsessed as when the muppets collection came out thankfully :rotfl:

    Anybody got any thoughts on the magnetic nail polishes starting to come out? Some of them look pretty but I'm not sure its any less of a fad than the crackle polishes were :o. Fortunately I really really cannot keep Nails Inc for more than 24 hours so I've resisted so far :A
    As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again

    I have all the Boots 17 magnetic ones and they are far more dramatic and effective then the Nails inc ones which are a bit blehhh

    I tried a Boots 17 polish which was magnetic.

    Took a few tries to get a consistent effect but I quite liked it. The bottle had an accident and got broken and I haven't bothered buying any more...

    So yes certainly a one off purchase for me. I've donated the crackle one to my daughter as well.

    I'm not convinced on the magnetic ones. The greyish 17 one is a good effect. I found the others too dark to really see the effect though. I've not tried other brands.

  • I had a huge clearout when I moved house and got it down to about 20 colours.

    I love Barry M, and Seche Vite topcoat. I really want to try the leopard print Konad nail stamper set but it's a bit costly and I can only wear nail polish on weekends...

    I repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Bullish on OPI. Have bitten the bullet and typed up my stash list of polishes which is here below. I've since realised that I own four red polishes that are exactly the same: the one I'm wearing, OPI Off with her Red, Maybelline Cherry and Nails Inc Victoria and Albert. So if anyone is looking for a cherry tomato red these are your options!
