    I've received some polishes from over the water :D

    Nerd Lacquers Hyperspace Bypass & The Selfish Green, HITS Demeter & UP Banho De Mar :)

    Wearing Hyperspace Bypass now, and even though I had serious doubts about yellow, I'm totally loving it!

    I'd not heard of any of those so I had to go hunting for swatches. The Banho looks like a fab flakie.

    Love the pictures that have been posted, thank you for sharing!

    It is great that this thread is beginning to come more alive :) It's also starting to look like NPAs are a majority and not a minority!

    This is the Hyperspace Bypass:

    I did this the other day and it looked pretty until it smudged in bed! I think the two go really well together and I smiled every time I looked at my nails :)

    I bought No 7 Vivid Violet with my £5 voucher today, tested it on one nail, it does look great with FF over it, but it is horrible polish, 3 if not 4 coats needed and I found it hard to control the brush, so messy cuticles resulted. I would have been very unhappy to have paid £7 for it rather than £2. I might try it on my toes, but I think it will end up in a charity shop. :mad:

  • I couldn't wait any longer Stormy is now on my toes because I didn't want to take off the crackle I'm currently sporting on my fingers!

    I really wish my MUA's would hurry up and get here though. Fingers are firmly crossed for tomorrow.

    I really dislike NO7 polishes - on me they are always streaky and never dry.
