  • I love Color Club polishes, there's one left http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Color-Club-Worth-Risque-Silver-Holographic-Nail-Polish-Brand-New-/270983399122?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Nails_Manicure_Pedicure_CA&hash=item3f17de86d2#ht_500wt_1236

    I don't know how good the holo would be but if it's anything like their other products that I have, it would be a good blind purchase :)

    I've read some reviews of colour club holos that suggest some batches are better than others so I'm a bit wary of them. Be good to know if anyone on here has tried them and can comment?

    Some of the glitter gal ones do look amazing, but the postage from oz is crazy. If only I knew someone over there :)

    I've uploaded all the nail photos I have to here Please excuse the state of my cuticles and any mistakes, they were just to get an idea of the colours, finishes, colour matches and ideas on what I could try next. They were never intended for public use, but we are amongst friends lol!

    I used the rimmel perfect plum I got in the market bonanza with some old glitter stuff I found in the nail box. Also borrowed heavily from the gorgeous blue nails with silver strips posted a few pages back :D

    That haul was well worth the money! The plum is one of the nicest I've seen :) Nails Inc have lovely plums (um, you know what I mean lol!).

    I've no idea how they can charge so much for p&p from Australia, £10 for a nail polish? It's an enigma...!

    The China Glaze OMG Collection is probably not that much different to GOSH...

    For the Jubilee weekend I might paint my nails as union jacks. I usually just paint the thumb nail as union jack. I use an old lip brush to paint the detail on. Right now I have a black with red glitter on one side, with a gradient from block glitter to the black, with silver tips.

    I love doing a union jack with black, silver and red glitter, it looks pretty cool.

    Lol I was just going to reply and suggest that seller. Worth the risqu! isn't very holo tho I don't think. The purple one, wild at heart I think it's called is really nice. I've also got a pink one which again I was a bit disappointed with. Have you tried nubar? They're really good holos and easy to apply. The china glaze omg and kaleidoscope collections are nice too, I love kaleidoscope him out and octa gone wild.

    Wow can I join in? I LOVE painting my nails... I've got over 70 nailvarnishes and yet haven't tried stamping or anything as clever as a foil!

    Although you've all cost me money - I've bought the color club holographic one from eBay for £9.99... This is following my pound land trip where I got 3 max factor colours and my nails inc haul from qvc... Oh and my buys power minis (opi) and my Rimmel eBay bargain! Most of which reading back, I see you ladies have seen too!

    I will pull together some nailvarnish-stash-!!!!!! which make my friends green - id love to know what you would do with it all - I never mix them up or layer them!
    If you aim for the moon if you miss at least you will land among the stars!

    I have just ordered from nailsupplies.us

    Had 2 Gelish, 7 china glaze for £48 delivered.

    The Gelish are usually £15 each, so I think I got a good deal.

    Well if we are going nail !!!!!!....lol

    Thats just my 'bits box' where I keep my nail art pens and odd varnishes I use for painting. It's massively outgrown the box to the point where I'm going to have to go shopping for some sort of drawers on wheels at the weekend.

    I use a lot of acrylic paint as well so thats all in another box. I find it easier to finely paint a lot of designs onto a base coat using acrylic so there is dozens of tubes of that as well along with various brushes.

    Then add to that the box of 'accents' with foil, sparkly bits, offcuts of lace etc.

    Then the box of 'proper polish'.

    Its a bit OTT really :D
