    That is one hell of a list of polishes!

    I have never got on with Nails Inc ones myself. For some reason they never stick to my nails and chip really easily. My fave for last and colour are the Miss sporty ones which have a foil like finish

    Same here.

    I've tried at least half a dozen different types of base and top coats and filed down ridges but still they chip within hours of applying.

    I tend to use them as a base for crackle these days - Goodge Place (khaki green) under black crackle looks like army camo. :j

    Seems ridiculous that a polish that sells for £1.99 lasts longer than one for £11. :mad:
    Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.
  • Shouldn't have looked on fragrancedirect.co.uk, really would have been better if I'd not known that they now stock OPI at £6.50 :-O

    And loads of Sally Hansen at 99p _party_

    Apologies to anyone else who really didn't need to know this ;)

    No I didm't need to know that - oh well as I can't "unknow" it I may as well take advantage :D

    :eek: And they have some Mavala at £1.99!! And they're on TCB ;)

    In advance, should I end up placing an order, I blame starrystarry :p

    Thanks Lady S! I have the same problem with Nails Inc, though they are the majority of my collection. But then again, most polishes wear within 1-2 days on me.

    Awesome stash sunshineyday :)

    Actually, not buying anything until March, help me stay strong ladies!! (I may have forgotten to mention my Dad bought me this when I was looking at it but stopping myself from buying it :o)

    Or could you find those colours in a similar more cost effective make so you can justify it a bit easier?

    This being said from a woman who spent $60 on nail stuff last week :S

    Edited to say...

    This one looks really similar, and is £1.79
