    I am an ebay queen! I also buy some from websites in the states and have them delivered direct as its cheaper than buying the same in the shops here.

    Me too, when I got into nailpolish stuff 6 or 7 years ago, so much of the lovely stuff was not available here, so I found importing and buying from e-bay was the way to go, it helped that the exchange rate was very much in my favour too. Also did a few swapsies with MUA nailboard girls. Fortunately I never had any problems with non-delivery, breakage etc.

    It amuses me seeing all the love for GOSH Holo on the blogs, when it came out I bought 2, sent one to girl in US and kept the other, well it was awful it was patchy and wore off tips in an instant, so I gave my bottle to a teenage girl I knew. Don't know if I had a bad bottle, or they improved the formula!

    The new OPI minnie mouse collection is cheaper to buy from america and have delivered here than it is to pop to your local shop and get it

    STOP PRESS

    If you are planning on buying the OPI vintage minnie mouse set it only has three colours and a top coat, it doesn't contain the one with the heart shaped sprinkles in

    There is one advertised as a future item in Buyapowa, is that the same do you think.

    I don't often buy minis now, find them too fiddly, usually just shop around for the individual ones from a collection that float my boat.

    This was done VERY quickly (only because I was desperate to try it) and put over the top of my magnetic polish, apologies my feet are very dry I need to pay them some attention before going on holiday
