    I had grand plans for fancy nails today, but Mondays are a bit chaotic so it was a quick fix today!

    I LOVE that!!!

    Can I ask how you make the dots so perfect please? I'd love to give this a try but I dont have the steadiest left hand :o

    I've gone black today, still waiting for it to dry so typing carefully and scratching my head with a biro... :o
    Even if you stumble, you're still moving forward.

    Have a look a couple of pages back, I posted a DIY dotting tool which is the one I'm currently using. It's nothing more than a sewing pin :)

    thank you :o

    I have caved and ordered some proper dotting tools, but this method works wonderfully. Hair pins also make great dotting tools as well :D

    Please do show us all when you've tried it!

    I ordered these, £1.26 delivered:

    Can't vouch for them though as they haven't arrived yet but for that price it was worth a punt :)

    The white I use was a cheap one from the market, although I've used the Sally Hansen White from the French Manicure set in the past.

    Nail polish in Asda today reduced from £1.75 to £1 . Quite a range of colours . Bought one but haven't used it yet . Anyone else used them ?

    Scrapaholic, my Mum has used them and likes them (colours not glitters) although she says some colours need 3 coats.
    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

    I have an Asda Grey and its a great little polish, unusually for a dark colour it covers in one coat.
