OPI's Pistol Packin' Pink for me today - an oldy (my first OPI ever in fact) but a goody. I used Nails Inc UV top coat for the first time last week and was so impressed by it I've used it again over the OPI. There is a definate blue tinge over a paler colour though.

Can anyone recommend a cheapish top coat (preferably one which can be purchased at Boots/Superdrug)?

Oddly enough I've just seen the black version on a blog tonight. I have some clear glass beads but they look awful. I do like those versions though. Can't believe the price of them though! They're just seed/micro beads.

I like Sally Hansen's Insta-dry - it's not cheap cheap (iirc mine was £6.99) but it seems to be lasting for ages.

I use Boots 17 which is £2.99 which is really quick drying. Probably not the best but I like it!

:eek: LOVE THIS! Can't wait for them to be on sale. They do seem expensive but hopefully cheaper versions will follow!

From looking at the Ciate website, this includes a base polish, the beads, a tray and a mini funnel.
