    Finally decided I couldn't stand the ghastly grey a moment longer so added a coat of the very appropriately named OPI "Save me". Looks 100% better. I can live with these now for a few more days

    Yours looks really even - i can't get on with save me at all.

    It goes on really uneven and the strands are over the end of my name.

    Think i need to try splodging it on more than stroking>>

    Hi,

    Is anyone into Konad nail stamping? I am looking at youtube videos and it seems really easy to do. I am tempted but I am quite rubbish at anything beauty related so wondering if anyone has tried it and found it to be good

    Thanks

    I konad!

    It is really easy to do, and some of the effects you get are pretty. Can't add the link now, but earlier in the thread I posted a link to some pictures.

    I couldn't do shellac as I'd just get bored with it - unless you can paint over it?

    I did mine tonight as the last mani lasted nearly a fortnight!!! I used the Fullerton n/v in Paris that i got in my Carmine Beauty box and used some glitter dust(half of it down my front). Just broke my little finger nail though getting out of the car D'oh!

    Found the OPI spiderman info - pretty :)

    Your nails look gorgeous.

    I had a look at some swatches of the Spiderman collection online and am really underwhelmed.

    I doubt it -Not a nice colour at all! :p

    Picture and details here

    That colour looks very similar to Leighton Denny Steel Appeal. One of my least favourite lacquers that I own. A lovely grey that I own and adore is $OPI Break a Leg Warmer.

    Have repainted my fingernails today and am now wearing $OPI Eve-y on the Eye. Has taken a few coats to look good as the formulas of these are streaky. On my toes I'm wearing $OPI Mermaid to Order with OPI Golden Rainbow over the top.

    Do any of you use nail glue to mend splits etc? If so, which one? My thumb nail has broken quite low down and I need to do a repair job.

    Is there anything I can do or have I got to just accept it? :(

    I have an opi nail mending kit which I need more practise with to make it neat, but it works.

    Just painted my nails with OPI warm and fozzie, took a few coats to get the true colour, but its lovely.
