Wow the crystal nails lool fab, freyasmum! What do you use to stick them?

Can anyone recommend some nice holos and where to get them? I have the virgin vie one mentioned earlier in the thread but want to expand my collection

Thank you!

This evening's nails-

"The Two Westminsters"

I've had my trim my nails mega short after a filing incident the other day

And these were my nails the other day- the match my new car exactly!


Here's my pintrest board- I have really short nails I was a biter for years so they're all ridged and nasty, but i'm spending the time now. It's not easy to undo the damage though

I'll second that (resolution not to wear glitter on toes is faltering already).

rachel90....have you had that virgin vie holo for a while or have you bought it recently? If you bought it recently, where did you get it from? I'd love to get another one as mine's running low now. As for other holos, the Layla collection seems very popular at the moment (stockist http://www.simplyoccasions.net/Layla%20Cosmetics%20chrome%20polishes.htm) or you could try Glitter Gal, A England or Speciallita.

I've been away for a few days and don't want to flood the thread just saying wow to each picture but WOW!

The dotty ones, the cloudy ones, those fab toes.

Thanks girls - I'm having an effing horrid time at work and this place, all you lovely people, and all those fabby pictures really give me a boost.

where are people ordering dotting tools from? and the white nail polish used to do minnie mouse nails?

I ordered a set of very cheap dotting tools and brushes from ebay in early May and they've still not arrived. The seller is very apologetic and has given me a refund and is apparently sending more but if I had my time again I'd just go to Amazon and spend £10 with next day delivery. Not all that MSE I know but my time is worth something and I've expended at least £10 of effort chasing these I think!

I must point out I have free Amazon prime delivery as the OH pays for it and has added me so I can use it - saves money but very dangerous as postage costs used to sometimes deter me from buying small things on there.:undecided

Sorry ladies...

The opi mini mouse set is due on buyapower "soon" and the spiderman set too!

I have bought the spiderman one and the ballet one and have to say I'm underwhelmed. I've never had OPI before and it all seems very thin (apart from the pink and I'm not fond of pink!).
I have the blue from the spiderman collection on now and whilst its a lovely colour it was a pain to get on - thin and stripey and needed a good 3 coats, plus the teeny tiny bottle and brush - whilst cute are :mad:. It started to peel after a day so has now got KleanColour chrome on top which has improved things no end.
What I'd really like now is a dupe of this colour in a bigger bottle with a better formula and brush.

The 3 coloured ballet ones are so pale on a practice wheel after 2 coats as to be almost indistinguishable from one another. They are also thin but its impossible to tell how many coats it will take to cover real nails on there. I fear it could take 4. And the little bottles and brushes are still :mad:. The glitter does look nice though.

Wonder if I'll be able to resist the third set on there despite all this though - they are just sooo cute. I realise I like painting wheels and playing and buying and organising and admiring all the bottles almost more than actually painting my nails

Does anyone know for sure whether Chanel nail polishes are "5 free"? I haven't used mine in a while as I thought they're not, but I've thrown away the packaging so I don't have the list of ingredients any more.

It looks like it's formaldehyde free Bunberry
