    Ohhh, that is PRETTY! :j

    I also love the look of colours on short nails (as you'll have seen!) but my sister doesn't like anything more than a natural french - she says anything else makes her fingers look pudgy.



    Please don't blame me if you spend too much but the flyer I had during the week says Sallys has a vat free day on TUESDAY

    i am going shopping on tuesday and i think there is a sallys there so i will pop in and have a look if i buy anything i can blame you ( only joking )

    Hi Lilly,

    I got my matte top from superdrug 99p - does the job very well.

    The name is 'beauty uk' matte top coat - its a bit mucky looking in the bottle but mattes the top lovely.


    thank you will add to my list for tomorrow.

  • I just googled Sally's and I must say looks like an interesting place to visit!!!

    I found the one nearest to me says 'T' which is trade only however the next one away says 'S' which means general public. Do they have a counter that you need to annouce yourself when you walk in like Makro or whatever!!

    I'm a 'sally' virgin!! lol

    Mmmm, difficult one, I would say choose something which is well outside of your comfort zone, let us know what you decide:)

    You're safe sawan82, it was a limited edition thing from several years ago. It came in a set of 3 bottles: special base coat, the holo and a silver glitter top coat (though why anyone would want to put silver glitter over it is beyond me). I used to see the odd set on ebay but I've not seen any for ages. I'd buy a spare if I could. Can't actually remember where I got this set from, but I've a feeling my Mum picked it up in a charity shop for me.
  • Well I went to Sally's today. God I wish I had or knew someone with a trade card!! Could have spent a fortune!!!! In the end I spent £25, not all on polish I hasten to add! Lol

    On another note my ASOS order has been dispatched. Running out of places to hide the polish now and quite frankly I'm meant to be saving money not spending it like there is no tomorrow.

    Am now on a varnish ban until I've worn all the new colours I've bought over the last few months!!! Could be a while!!

    We need to know what you bought...that's the rules ;)

    I managed to resist going to Sally's, thankfully. Couldn't resist pimping my holo nails with a bit of stamping though.
