    If any of you are close to Tenby, Pembrokeshire, there is a shop in the small market that has huge baskets full of nail polish. I bought 6 bottles and it cost me £7.00.

    Wow that is a decent price. I might have to look at the beauty stall in the market where I live. As you may know, some people on this thread are going mad for Technic Mermaid and Carnival :rotfl:

    Ironically I'd totally missed all the talk of those on here until I got back! I'm very much a 'oooh shiny!' person so when I saw them sticking out of a huge basket of polishes they were the first thing I grabbed :D

    With hindsight I should have probably stocked up on more but I think OH may have killed me :D

    Is the holographic a proper linear holo or just holo glitter in a clear base? Trying to work out if it's worth me driving 15 miles out of my way to go to a bodycare on the offchance that they have it :D

    It's probably cheaper on ebay than it is to drive all that way and pay for parking too :) £3.74 BIN :beer:

    Ooopsie - ebay is a very bad place!!!!

    Got myself some stampers as suggested (thank you) and some nail pen thingies. Can't wait to try them out. Could have spent loads more though.

    I've been really busy this last few days and I've just caught up on the thread! I love love love the manis! The Queen and Guards are really innovative, I've not seen anything like that before, loads of fun :)

    I've got all my new polishes through now and I found a really nice little chest of drawers stashed away in the back of a large cupboard so I've put all my polishes and nail art stuff into it.

    There's a fabulous blue sparkly holographic polish in my 'glitter drawer' :) This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMAZING-BLUE-GLITTER-NAIL-POLISH-HOLOGRAPHIC-3D-RHINESTONES-PROFESSIONAL-/280765513288?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Nails_Manicure_Pedicure_CA&hash=item415eedbe48#ht_773wt_989 It's got all the colours of the rainbow in it and it coats really well, nothing half hearted and it's a decent consistency too. It's a full cover polish but you could drag it on almost dry over a colour or use it to cover the tips. The seller has other colours too. I'm just waiting for a green to come back into stock...!

    Another blue sparkly one is Kleancolor - Blue Eyed Girl. It's actually nail jewel - the polish is a lovely blue jelly and the glitters look like rhinestones. If you're going to consider Kleancolor, go to ebay.co.uk, search for kleancolor and then scroll down past all the UK based products and buy them for a quarter of the price from the US. They don't take much (if any) longer to arrive and the polishes are just brilliant, right consistency, great to apply, chipping is practically non-existent too. I just can't believe you can buy them in dollar stores in the US. They're way too spoilt :)

    haha - decided not to bother in the end. the Catherine Arley holo I ordered from ebay FINALLY arrived on monday - not great in normal light but looks lovely in sunlight. shame it's started raining now :)
  • Gutted. I ordered some union jack water decals from ebay on Sunday. The seller posted them Monday but they haven't arrived!! The party is tomorrow afternoon and other than tonight I won't have time to do them now.

    Really upset as I ordered them special. Bloody Royal Mail!!
