    Do you do it? Where do you get your supplies from? I think a while ago I looked for empty bottles but they were really quite expensive for a mess around. Also I feel a bit stupid mixing - what aren't really, but are to me - expensive nail varnishes :o

    Also, how did you get the spreadsheet on your blog? I would love to put my stash on mine but I dunno how to do it like that! Looks great!

    I would just buy a polish you don't want from poundland, tip the polish away and then use that empty bottle. The empty ones on ebay are more expensive! This is if you don't have a polish you don't want and then you can use.

    I compiled the blog list in excel, then copied it into a google document. On blogger choose to add a page and have it as a link page to the google document. Sorted
  • I decided to use Pixi No 24 for my blue nails, it's lovely bright blue which seems fitting on such a lovely day. I added holo polka dots in silver & pink (not that the holo will show up on the pic)...

    That's gorgeous. You have great nails.

    love that poilish what is it?

    Layla Hologram Effect in Ocean Rush. I splurged. I feel guilty spending so much on a polish, but then I catch sight of my nails in the sun, and the guilt is lessened :rotfl:

    I've been a bad girl and succumbed to this

    I don't think anyone else has asked to be shown as the naughty person that referred people there - so if any of you are similarly unable to resist would you name me (Hannah Moynehan) as the bad influence that sent you there, then I might get them for free!
    I will probably soon be looking, over on the swapsie FB page, to get rid of some of the pinks. along with a few other bits I need to find new homes for.

    That's a really cool idea, I think I'll try some kind of olympic rings manicure.

    Has anyone used Kiko polishes? They are on discount, but have a minimum order of £25. Which is about 20 polishes :(

    I have about a dozen Kikos. The formula is great for the price. Some are even 1 coaters.

    I bought from the Kiko cosmetics site a few days ago. If you go through checkout, without registering (go as a guest), when you get to your details section, there's another chance to register by entering a password. Do that, select register (not continue button) and they knock off postage for you.
