    I have just dug out my bottle of Yo got to get this blue and tried it over the 17 magnetic, the OPI is quite a bit darker, I love it, but the Boots is a very nice mid blue which I like, it was wearing quite well too, until I had a marathon gardening session yesterday, even though I wore gloves nearly all the time it was still pretty rough work.

    Been to Boots today, looking at nail polish picked two MF colours that i liked the look of - a pink and a blue/purple (i didn't look at the names of them until i got home), well it turns out that the blue/purple one was FF and i'm not impressed i was hoping the colour would be as it looks in the bottle, can anyone suggest a polish that gives a good coverage similar to the FF (bottled) colour please.

    By the way the fantasy fire looks pretty good over diva pink
  • Hello everyone. I am a nail polish addict. I haven't bought since before Christmas as I still have unopened Nail Inc bottles from some offers last year :o. Having said that I'm tempted by the Chanel green duochrome dupe so I might have to break my self imposed ban.

    Decided I don't like the new OPI "I have a herring problem". Much greyer than I was anticipating and I think I'm more than greyed out at the moment.

    So gone for a nice conservative pinky beige ( Rimmel Beige Glamour) which will be OK for a corporate "do" on Thursday. Now I just need to decide what I'm going to wear. This colour goes with pretty much anything.

    My boss gave me a No7 set of 5 polishes today, which includes Vivid Violet :j

    That takes me up to 125 but I'm not hanging my head in shame as I didn't buy these latest additions :D

  • hi all - been lurking for a while, and you ladies are a bad influence on me :j
    favorites at the moment are the w7 planets range - lovely duochrome colours, and fairly cheap. £1.49 in b&m bargians - also seen them in next clearance. the venus is a purple blue mix - maybe a bit like fantasy fire??
