can anyone recommend a good box to keep all my polishes in ? i currently use an o.p.i box, it is great has loads of wee compartments for the polish and opens out in the bottom for nail files, remover, wipes etc ... that one is now full so i ordered a new one ( qvc) it arrived today but was way way way too small ... i now have more things i want to keep in them so i need a bigger compartment in the bottom and enough space for a good amount of polishes ... cant think of anywhere that might stock such a thing though

My stash is glamorously stored in two Roses tins and an old L'Occitane box I'd love to have a Helmer but I don't really have room for it.

edited to add: ooooooo i saw the helmer ... £25 i think i will ... it's alot cheaper than what i am currently using ...

I can't even pick a favourite from the pics you posted because I want them all!!

Having a nail disaster today :mad: Revlon Dreamer is rubbish and after 2 coats I could tell another coat wouldn't fix it. Finished doing the BarryM pinky colour then chipped 3 chunks off!! Now onto Rimmel Pompous but I hate the silly wide brush. Will give it another coat and it's staying on now and I don't care lol.

Ah... thread jargon For newcomers, this phrase appears often from various posters, and loosely translates as 'Business as usual - I'll be back for the next fix inside an hour!'

Also common is 'My polish won't dry', which translates as 'An eBay polish listing? As if wet nails are going to stop me hitting the Buy-It-Now button!', and 'Anyone up for a polish swap?', which means 'Nothing would make me part with any of my polishes - you'll just have to settle for one of the children'

Have to admit i really LOVE my leighton denny nail file , i really love his colours aswell much more than o.p.i's colours ... But his colours chip within a short space of time for me so not worth me buying sadly

Here's a picture I found on another forum showing a comparison between the Technic one and GOSH 549... http://i39.tinypic.com/t8lufr.jpg

Doesn't seem to be terribly holographic but is probably a nice silver with a little bit of holo.

I have a Catherine Arley version, I might try that over my Nails Inc silver polish... there's quite a few different CA holo colours.

My absolute fave are the linear holos.

I have to do this http://www.nailgalore.my/2010/08/nail-art-colour-blending.html
