    Yes I sponged the glitter on, you get a better gradient effect that way.

    I don't know if anyone is interested, but there is this set

    http://www.sallyexpress.com/viewProduct.aspx?pid=849239

    6 china glaze for £9.98. Making it £1.66 per polish. Not bad.

    Wish I hadn't looked. Those prices are pretty good for non-trade ones aren't they?

    Im kinda new to OPI id say i bought my first bottle maybe year and a half ago but i cannot mind what it was. I buy the majority of my OPI and Nails Inc from QVC but only when they do the multi deals. Only when I really really want a colour and cannot get anywhere else will i go to sally and pay full price however i have found a website www.deamonbeuty.co.uk that has loads of opi inc new collections for £7.16 a bottle which is really good.

    I also got loads of polishes for christmas which was luck and, my most prized possesion i got at christmas which was the OPI Luxuary Manicure case which came FULL of goodies (mate got a QVC TSV and filled it up)

    I am seriously a lucky girl....

    Ekk, cant seem to get that link right... will get back to you.....

    I try to buy OPI from QVC when I can as well as the value us great. Otherwise, I pick them up singularly from John Lewis.

    Your link didn't work. Would you please re-post it?

    I'm really loving Revlon's Stormy right now. I think I may have found my favourite. It says quick dry and it actually is! By the time I'd done my 2nd hand the 1st was touch dry and within about 2 minutes it's completely dry. Love love love!

    I went to look around Poundland for this one yesterday but was unlucky. I own Metro chic in a mini size and want a dupe for when it's gone.

    Did buy a bottle of No. 7 Betty Blues yesterday and it's gorgeous. Used my £5.00 voucher. Know what some of you mean about the formula. I managed to flood one of my cuticles and even after clean up it still looks a little messy. Added OPI Rainbow Connection to my ring fingers as it looked too vampy for the party I was at last night.

I got the lighter MF purple and a pink polish too. Don't know their names but they're nice . Seems everyone in this area not buying up all stock of fantasy fire !
  • I did my nails last night and managed to chip 3 of them this morning at bodypump class. I think I need to invest in the Seche Vite. Where do you guys buy yours from?

    Sally's stock Seche Vite but you can usually get it a couple of quid cheaper on eBay or Amazon. I love Seche Vite but the Sally Hansen one is just as good and a bit cheaper. £5.99 at Boots...

    Silvercar - but you can paint normal polish on top of gel polish for a change, then take it off with acetone free remover and your gel polish will stil be perfect underneath!
    I never thought of doing that! :D
