    Lovely Starry!!

    I've been on a trip to Boots today, was hoping to find some Matt Polish but no luck whatsoever. Did come away with some eyeliner reduced from £6.50. No sticker on it but it came from a reduced box. Lovely lad on the till charged me £1. Cant for the life of me remember the brand though, it was white and square if that helps!!

    Probably good job OH was with me because I fell madly in love with Models Own Ice Cream Sundae set :)

    Hello picchi - love the flocked nails.

    tokkiandoliver - love your blog too.

    i wanna live for free - OMG how many kleancolors?

    I've posted some swatches of Hidden Treasure on my blog if anyone is tempted http://1008hollywalkpark.wordpress.com/2012/06/04/sally-hansen-hidden-treasure-swatches/

    Also had a try at making one of the Nails Inc sprinkles but I've not got that on the blog just yet. I can't wait for these to diffuse into the cheaper brands.

    Very very temped to pop into Boots and spend my points on some nail polish....

    I've fallen in love with the magnetic nail varnish, very easy to use. My nails are now the blue with stripes :D, and the first one I tried was the plum with star burst (although pattern is supposed to be union jack I think). Its a simple way to cheer me up.

    Blue:

    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Hi :)

    Sorry to interrupt, but if you're after a matt polish - H&M do their own one for £1.99! x

    Hi. Is it a matt colour or a matt top coat?

    Forgive my ignorance, but is a matt topcoat a clear varnish that will turn any undercoat matt?

    If so I NEED ONE NOW!!!
    :D

    Yes it is and yes you do (need one now). I have a Mavala matte top coat, it's ace.

    EDIT: other options if you want to order one online...China Glaze Matte Magic, Essie Matte About You, CND Super Matte.
