I succumbed last night & bought CG hunger games Electrify and Harvest Moon from Amazon.

Jealous! I'd love to see what Harvest Moon looks like, the pics online look amazing

Plain white with good coverage?

I have to say Tesco's own ''all about nails'' it is like tippex, and only takes two coats as a maximum and for the bargain it is 99p!

Personally I am after one of these

Indian ocean is amazing, I've also got tropical sun waiting to be applied but I love Indian ocean so much I don't want to take it off!

Those buying microbeads for a DIY caviar manicure - the packs of beads on eBay are like 20g/10g - how many nails would these do, roughly? would you need a couple of packs to do all your nails? Having never bought them or seen them I have no idea how much 20g/10g of beads look!

I weighed my bag of the green and blue mix and it is 12g which I think would be enough for all 10 nails. Suppose it depends on what mine are made from against the ebay ones though. I can't weigh the clear/white ones due to the bottle design.

That looks really great! I don't agree with your OH btw , I think the blue/green nail looks lovely, really pretty.

Thanks. He doesn't know what he's talking about

I might have been in Boots today and I might have treated myself to the Models Own hedkandi 'Ibiza Mix'. It's kind of a clear black with multicoloured glitter in it ... Can't wait to see what it looks like on

I saw a swatch somewhere of someone with it over black - it looked fantastic.

Well, I have had a busy weekend, so I have painted to my hearts content while my hubby watched the F1 this morning..

I decided to play with different finishes etc,

It started with a Milan base with a glitter dipped tip, and then a matte base coat, which I loved

Then I started with the green, and had a lime all about nails base, and put some glitter hexagons on it green too. Quite pretty

But then I decided to hand paint some roses, and I fell in love

So, I was inspired and did a Cath Kidston inspired print. So I am officially in love and never ever want to take these off my fingers
