    I've been Money Tipped!

    SV helps the OPI dry a lot quicker, otherwise I'd be sitting here for ages!

    Well, I tried to marble again today, it was a disaster. One nail bubbled and I knocked the remover over on my mums side table and took the varnish off it woo yay So I took it all off and did this

    You're so good at konading it's only fair on the rest of us that you turn out to be rubbish at marbling!

    Been lurking for a while.....

    Vary basic with my nails, either french or one plain colour....

    My own nails, no fake ones...

    Need some nail varnish, down to nothing at home really... Can't afford expensive ones either - any recommendations on decent brands that do not cost the earth?

    Looked at some KOnan kits on Amazon today - some are really lovely....

    But need some basic nail varnishes first.

    Not into pinks or light/bright colours myself, do not like the pearl shine either.

    Like matt and dark colours - any recommendations?

    Thanks

    I would vote for Miss Sporty varnishes. Easily available in Boots and Superdrug and seem to last an age

    Welcome to the thread gettingready, your nails are lovely, very neat.

    I think we're all natural nail people on here, not that I've anything against acrylics etc.

    Keep the pics coming.

    :jHi,
    I wonder if anyone can tell me the best place to buy the nail art stamp and varnish, can you use ordinary polish for your stamps !!!

    many thanks

    A lot of gals really rate Barry M, both for the price and for the staying power, I have not really tried them myself, I have a dark brown and an emerald green, I have just tried the brown on a couple of nails, goes on well and nice and shiny.

    Amazon seems to be a good place to get stamping sets. I've just ordered a bundle monster set from them (v. excited!)
