Just bobbing on again after my trip into town centre. Our local Boots has started selling Essie polishes which I'm excited about. Had a look at the Merino Cool and to me it looks very similar to Leighton Denny Leading Lilac and more lilac (again) than Metro Chic. Can't wait for my bottle to arrive. x

Did buy some lacquers today but they were a gift for Emma's friend. Was the Beetlejuice set by Models Own and they looked gorgeous.

Thanks for that information, I will def. not buy Leading Lilac now. When I get near a decent Boots I will look for the Essie, would be nice to see the colours irl.

My goodness! I've had a busy 2 days so haven't had the chance to keep up with the thread and you all start going on a major polish shopping spree!!! I'm going to go through your links and see what you've bought!!

Don't tell anyone but I get mine from this ebay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/BeautyJoint/KleanColor-/_i.html?_fsub=3105109012&_sid=1030672192&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Kleancolor is £1.20 per bottle and excellent shipping costs. Only problem is you have to a) try to restrict yourself from buying one of everything and b) wait for a few days until you see it.

DISCLAIMER: If you end up not eating for the rest of the month it's not my fault :rotfl:

Actually, I think that might be applicable to me, I've just bought Sugar Coat and Blue-Eyed Girl

Oh Heck. Its not just holo's they have tons of stuff I fancy.
See - you are all bad, my children will starve, the dogs will be fed horsemeat and we will be burning furniture for fuel.

Not to worry - I have no kids, or dogs, or even horses and the hot flushes are doing enough for the moment. I just might not be able to afford train fair to work - shame;)

Pah! What does he know??

Few weeks ago a bloke I work with told me I looked like I'd had an accident with a hammer when I was wearing Nails Inc Pembroke Close (lilac/purple).

Callie22...onlinemakeupstore is now charging £2.50 p&p, so you got in at the right time.

Indeed - still I've now stamped half of each nail diagonally with a leopard spot type print using the masking tape (thanks to those who sugggested that) and new Black Lingerie and he seems slighty more impressed.
As to the rude sod who commented on the hammer effect colour - take one with you and try it on him and see if the effect is the same?

Copper glitter - it's on my wish list...

Clairs had cheap stuff that has a slightly reddish base and coppery very small glitter. I think its rather fab, particularly for the price. I've found all the small glitter I bought there rather pleaseing - the coppery one, a dark steely grey and a bright green. The big mixed puply glitter wasn't so great.

My local bodycare had absolutely loads of this in yesterday, it was the only glitter they had ... almost bought it but it's similar to Nail Pops 'Bling' (although more coppery-er ) and I couldn't justify it. 'Bling' is lovely though, I got loads of compliments when I'm wearing it.

Can I ask where you all find these bodycare shops? I don't live or work near shops so wil have to find one to travel to but can't seem to find a store page on line. Is there one with a store locator?

Alternatively shall I just list all the places I might go in the next week and you guys can all tell me where to go - maybe not

I don't know where you are from, but they are everywhere here. Merry Hill, Wolverhampton, Merry Hill, One Stop Perry Barr, Lichfield.

Might be worth looking for a number for one of these branches and ring them to ask if there is one near you.

So yesterday I found myself in poundland again. That place has become nailvarnish heaven for me!
Three Revlon's for (you guessed it) a pound each

Black Lingerie - basic black but I didn't have one and I'm sure I needed one. Two coats on a nail wheel looks pertty good - a third isn't really necesary but will probably make it better.

Steel her Heart - a metalic grey - two coats on a wheel are a bit see through still and there's some brush marks. I think an extra coat will fix the first issue but not the second. I never have managed to find a gunmetally colour that doesn't streak.

Ruby Ribbon Matte Suede - a darkish, pinkyish, mattish red. Two coats look pretty good - only with the sun directly behind the wheel does it look like it needs a third.

Currently wearing Revlon Stormy - also from poundland. I rather like it but the other half says it is boring and looks like undercoat on a ship.

I have Steal Her Heart, Ruby Ribbon and Stormy, all from poundland too. Stormy is definitely my current favourite.

Feeling v low today ladies. Anyone got any pics of something sparkly/fabulous to cheer me up?
