    As soon as I can afford it I'm going to get 12 Kleancolours in tropical/neon shades for water manis and a few more sparklies - ie the purple sparkle - they're almost edible!

    I'm now an addict. I spent the morning perusing Boots and Superdrugs nail polishes looking for a very glittery topcoat. They're all too ickle flecky and I sort of want a chunky effect. Eventually bought 2 Cover Girl crackles in £land - red and gold.
    I have never, ever used a crackle :o

    I also have 24 kleancolor polishes coming from ebay soon.
    I'm beginning to dread reading this thread as it's causing me serious pain in the credit card :rotfl:

    *ignoring the Nails Inc offer* ;)

    Chunky Glittery Topcoats, the new No7 are really chunky, also Revlon - Stunning, is quite chunky too.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    I won a China Glaze magnetic nail varnish yesterday and picked the Instant Chemistry colour. It arrived this morning, looks nice in the bottle but I still have my black with stickers on, don't want to take that off but I really want to try the new one - decisions decisions!!

    My six Kleancolor polishes that I ordered from ebay arrived this morning :) Seriously impressed with the delivery, I ordered them on the 26th and they arrived today - that's really good coming from the US. I got them from a store called Joy's Cosmetics, not the cheapest but great service.

    I only had time for a quick play but I'm loving the black and bluebell holos. I also got one called 'Firework' which is a gold glitter with red and turquoise - looks much nicer than I thought, less green than the online pics - and a lovely one called 'Afternoon Picnic' which is a really big multi-colour glitter. They are nice polishes and I'm already planning a second spree lol.

    Bravo! That must have taken you a very long time :T:T:T

    Thanks, about an hour and a half all in. Luckily OH was out! Everybody at work yesterday thought they were stickers. Had a hard time convincing people that they weren't. Therefore am pleased with my efforts.

    However loads of people now want me to do there nails for events they have coming up!!

    I keep seeing the kleancolors on eBay and was VERY tempted. However OH and I today had a rather shocking letter from the bank, so cannot buy any more polishes again for some time. :o(

    However I do have loads of stuff to play with so that should fill my varnish addiction hopefully!!!!

    That's who I ordered from. Am so looking forward to getting them! My daughter is frantically trying to grow her nails as I told her no nails = no polish. Sounds mean but if I can get her to break the habit is all to the good. :)

    I had a little play with my Illamasqua polishes from their nail event a couple of weeks back

    This is Bacterium (nice name lol) on it's own but then I decided to give taping a go and added some Scarab on thumb and ring fingers

    That flipping tape is so fiddly!!! I really, really hate doing my right hand!
