    Hi everyone, still a polishaholic, still unrepentant, what more is there to say:D:D:D

    I actually GA three this week, decided pink crackle and a couple of glitters no longer rocked my boat so off to CS, however I did buy Sensationails kit on offer and a Red Carpet Manicure at a good price from *bay so that I have 3 colours to play with.

    OK thanks starry, I'm still buying polish and not wearing it as often as I should! I might need to buy another Helmer soon. :p I still haven't braved stamping or marbling yet either. :o

    I hope you are OK, I expect your nails are looking gorgeous as always. :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • They're shorter than usual at the moment as I broke a couple so I've chopped them off. Just stamped over Layla Mercury Twilight tonight. No doubt that'll be chipped by this time tomorrow.

    Maddie...sensationails & red carpet...are they gel polishes?

    Are you an unrepentent addict?

    Mainly to toiletries and makeup but nail varnishes seem to be creeping up there. I have 52 in my stash list. Not counting any others I've managed to sneak past myself.
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    Yes, they are gel polishes. I have some (not all) very weak or damaged nails and putting a gel coat on makes them tougher and less easy to damage further. I have been putting normal polish on top and changing every few days. So far so good:D

    I giggled at the thought of your sneaking more polish past yourself, me too:rotfl:

    Have to say I'm no regular on the health and beauty section of the forums but I am hoping one or two of you might help.

    My better half is after a CND Shellac starter kit for Christmas and is pointing me towards a cheap website on which to buy it. Trouble is I'm a bit cautious with new unknown websites and hoped someone here may be able to recommend or warn me off it?

    The website in question is https://www.classynails.co.uk anyone here used and therefore confirm it's safe?
    It gets a decent trust rating on one of the sites that check these things but just want to be sure.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, no experience of this company, but I note that they are Amazon sellers (under their company name) and have a 96% 365 score and a 98% lifetime score. Their Amazon prices are higher, but they include VAT, which has to be added to their own website prices. There seem to be other stockists of these kits on their too.

    Is it specifically CND she's after because I know Boots have a good discount on some kits at the moment :)
