They look lush. Why does FF not look that good when I try it?

Ooh and Fixx, does the croc effect work? I have never got the crackle ones to work and don't know why. Think I must just be too slow for it.

I've got FF as well, but haven't quite found the right combination to get it to look great either - I like it, but I've got other pollishes I *love*.

Croc effect - nope, I've never got it to work! I've not had a problem with the crackle ones, just paint it on thick and quick It doesn't work with the croc effect though - as I have 2 bottles I'll try experimenting a bit more with it and see

The gold crackle is my favourite btw, works so well, and looks so dramatic over dark colours. I wore it over a pastel green for St. Patricks day too, which was quite fun - I'll see if I can post a picture sometime.

I believe you have to paint the croc effect one on before the polish underneath is quite dry. I've not tried it yet.

I had a little play with it yesterday using my daughters nails - not quite ready to sacrifice my orange glitter just yet!

On its own it is very sheer. It does need to go over something. We layered it over 2 coats of Zoya matt black and it looked great. I will also be trying it over a very dark blue as I think that will also work well.

i did it over a metalicly creamy/gold and it looks a nice strong purplely glitter.

Hello ladies (I'm kind of assuming there are no men on this thread?!), may I please join you, as I am a serious nail polish addict, and wholly unrepentant?

No! Run away as fast as you can as this thread will cost you money :rotfl:.

I've made another purchase - this time of Technic Carnival which is a [much cheaper] dupe of OPI Rainbow Connection. I was looking for a chunky glitter to do a glitter sandwich and think this will be perfect. Talking of glitter... I got a free bottle of elf Golden Goddess with a Very order the other week - can anyone tell me what I did with it?

Put it away with whatever you got from Very?

Ps...What's a glitter sandwich?

Saw a blog post with fantasy fire over a Royal blue and it looked fantastic and really different. Thats next on my list of tries.

Although have lots of new polishes coming so might take a while.

Edit - Found it

Colour glitter colour.

Works well with jellies as you can see the glitter really well.

Coat of colour, coat of glitter, coat of colour? Really? Never heard of that.
