I'm currently trying really hard not to buy a bucket load of Speciallita polishes from their site as postage works out about £25
I know LLarowe is getting the majority soon but with her mark up its almost cheaper to bulk order from Brazil.



I've got over 200 hundred polishes and am getting to the point where i have most colours and i find now i'm going more for different effects, i.e holos, flakies, glitters.

I can't look at majority of pics as at work and the filter blocks flickr and pinterest. But loving all the oranges so far.

Doing this i discovered i have bloody loads of oranges but rarely wear any of them except on my tootsies.
Gone for China Glaze Rivertine which i the most stunning orange ever. Will post pics when i'm back home tommrow.

We almost sound like the same person. I reckon I have about 250 bottles. It was 200 a few weeks ago, but if I see a bargain I can't resist.

in my sights are

A - Englands ( I don't have any)
Catrice ( I need more)
Whimsical by Pam ( I need them, and she won't send them to the UK, but I am trying)

Ive had to cut the nail as low as I can, its split about 3mm up from the cuticle so right in the middle. Its throbbing like you wouldn't believe and as low as I've managed to cut it I cant go any lower because its bleeding

I blame OH, it was his fault I was messing about with his bloomin car!! I've now opted for the 'smother it in savlon and bandage it' option as it looks quite manky lol

ow ow owie!

Hope that feels better soon!

Ahhh yes, I'd forgotten about the US seller of those polishes. Did she ever reply to your email?

can I also recommend dipping the dodgy finger in a cup/bowl of ice cold water helps stop that painful throbbing, sounds proper OWWIIIEEEEE

Ive currently got it coated in Savlon and wrapped in gauze as it was starting to look quite infected. Never split a nail that low before. I'll try the ice tomorrow, thanks. Going to give it 24 hours in antiseptic first to kill off any nasties.

On the plus side, I can't wash the dishes

Really fed up about it as I wanted to play with my new polishes today.

Why not paint the nails you have left? What's a nail between friends?

Hi all, can I join in? I am a nail polish addict (my favourite is Nails inc) but am waiting for my nails to grow at the moment following a series of disasters! Not even worth posting a pic at the moment as they are boring with just a frosted clear on to help with strength.

On facebook Malibu UK VIP page is giving away a grands worth (150 polishes) of nail polish to one lucky winner, Models own brand. http://www.facebook.com/malibuUK/app_300230383383362

You just join and fill in the form to enter. It's got to be worth a go!

Loving all the pics too!

Hi Katy, welcome to the group. will have a look at that competition later, thanks x

Aww, lots of hugs to the injured nail ladies amongst us.

It's been over a week since my last nail polish purchase so I'm polishing my halo!
