Nails inc westminter abbey, shiney but smudgy, it didnt dry well.

I noticed my favourite beauty parlour has started to use seche vite in their manicures, so going to try some later in the month!

If you're not already using a quick dry topcoat you'll be amazed by Seche Vite, it makes such a difference. Although the Sally Hansen one is just as good, and cheaper usually. I believe the Nails Inc one is comparable as well (Kensington Caviar?)

Well I started March off with a bang!

INs
GOSH: Metallic Green, Golden Brown, Magic Star & Ocean
Andrea Fulerton: Rainfall, Cat, Beatrice & Johanna
China Glaze: Watermelon Rind

In my defence, I had one SD receipt left with the discount from their feedback survey, and three of the GOSH ones were on clearance for £2 each (as opposed to £4.99). Total paid was c.£23 reduced from £43, after discounts, feedback discount and £4 off my Beauty card :money:

The CG cost me £4 from a local shop on an indutrial estate The shop was quite small, so I thought I'd buy one to try to make sure it's the real deal (suspiscious, me?? )

I've been looking for a flakie for ages and just found a mavala one for £1.99. It's a mini but I never finish big bottles anyway. It's on fragrance direct if anyone is interested, think it's only the purple colour called Capella which is a flakie.

You might be better off buying either GOSH Rainbow (which I think is a clear flakie & I saw on a GOSH clearance stand in Superdrug yesterday for £2) or Nubar 2010 which is what I bought so that it can be layered on any colour HTH

Oh thank you! The nubar one you posted looks lovely, that's the one I've seen before but only at expensive prices. Might have to give myself a second day of March present haha.

Three new nail varnishes today!
Boots Natural Collection - Peach Manicure
Barbara Daly - Ocean Ripple and Lavender (which in my defence were reduced to 75p for 7ml!)


I think I may need to start attending weekly addiction meetings.
