Can anyone recommend a good supplier of new China Glaze - haven't got any of them so far

I used to buy China Glaze from Sally Beauty Supplies, if you have one near you, they are open to the public, no discounts though unless you have a beauty qualification certificate.

Just looked, lots listed on *bay

I'm not allowed to buy any more nail polishes. DD won't hear of it.

Thing is, my nails are really short because I need them that way for playing bass, and nobody sees my feet other than me.



What I do recommend, though, is Barry M and Stargazer polishes. Both are fabulous quality, great colours, cheap and durable. Better than Leighton Denny and OPI, IMO. The Leighton Denny stuff all seemed to be blueish/green tinged, even the neutrals, and the darker colours were quite gloopy and prone to peeling off. I do like their glass files, though.

Love La Seche ridge filler and Nail Envy as base layers, but haven't found 'the' top coat yet.

have you tried seche vite top coat ? i love it really shiny and protective

i was thinking of getting into gel nails , i really like the wearability of them, would be a lot of m oney at the start but i think it would be worth it in the long run

There are a couple of the Holland collection that I like the look of - Vamptastic (though its probably too close to lincoln park after dark to be worth buying) and Gouda Gouda Two Shoes. Am more excited about the China Glaze Hunger Games Collection.

I like the look of this one as well (though it's called Vampsterdam) and the Did you Ear Van Gogh one. Have had a look at the CG ones and none of the colours grab me. Nor do any of the new Essie collection.

I pay £25 a go and they last 3 weeks+, could possibly last for 4 if you're careful. The only nail stuff I've bought in4 months is some cheap nail glue as occasionally one nail may come unstuck at an edge.

The real plus is having beautifully varnished nails every single day. I think of all the time I've saved rather than the money I've spent.

Yep i have to admit i think of that too, i got them done for ano job interview once and was very impressed ... Might add it to my treat list

Well this is mushroom, it's pretty opaque but it was ever so slightly patchy after one layer but I think that was coz I'm carp at applying it evenly... One layer of Rimmel Super Wear Topcoat too. 3 layers of Rimmel I love Lasting Finish in Discoball on my thumb coz it didn't come out very glittery on the first two layers.

Yes, I know my nails are stupidly short right now, I cut them last week and I know they're still a little messy, need to practice!

Liking the Agro but I'm not sure it is a colour I'd actually wear. Perhaps one to buy and admire in the bottle for me:p.

Hey ladies, glad everyone is enjoying the thread. I'm keeping up but can't always post this week. I bought my CG from Sallys, luckily there was one close to me, but you can buy online from them as well. My fingernails are now CG Sexy in the City :-) I'll edit post to add a pic when on a PC. I can't remember who else I wanted to reply to, sorry! x

Your nails look great Willow, I love that Mushroom colour but I have so many similar it would be naughty of me to buy it even if it is a bargain.
