Have just had a look at these. Your colours look lovely. I also like the look of Smoke and Ashes and Stone Cold. May keep an eye out on buyapowa for these.

I just swatched the whole collection for work. Smoke and ashes is lovely - the shimmer in it adds a lot of depth. Stone cold is a matt so its quite flat but the application is easy. Fois Grois is a surprise favourite. If you are paying retail prices the cheapest way of getting them might be Sallys on a VAT free day.

Freyasmum I love your nails, they look beautiful!!

Today I've gone with the croc effect, and I'm surprised by how much I like it!!

I bought some of this today and tried it but not as successfully as you! Think I let the gold dry a bit too much and put on too thick a layer of crackle. Took it off so will have to try again. Also managed to get some max factor FF and a top coat. All 3 for 2 so £7.98 in Boots P@rthsmouth. I love all these tips but it's not very money saving!

Sawan82...the croc effect looks Fab, might try mine at the weekend. Did you paint it on while the polish underneath was still tacky?

I painted on the gold, and only on one nail the first time, I waited 2-3 minutes and the effect wasn't there very well at all. So then doing a nail at a time again, I put on the gold, waited about a minute then painted on the croc effect. It can be too thin btw, so I did two thin coats, or one slightly thick coat. HTH!

Tygermoth That OPI is really very pretty!

My AEnglands arrived today.

Just painted my nails with Order the Garter.

For the first two coats i was distictly underwhelmed as it was streaky but with a third coat it has applied really well.

Now i do like it; but was hoping for more holo-ness - there is only a very slight twinkle to my eyes. Really pretty blue though.

After seeing a demo on you tube using ordinary nail polish I gave it a go with some old revlon goldish colour over a cheappie dark green colour . Looks quite subtle + quite like it . Everyone must have bought all Revlon storm in £land , none in last few days . I'm wondering whether to get monster bundle plates from Amazon . Will I use them ? I have 3 Konad plates . I'm also wondering if it's a bit sad for a woman of my age to be faffing about with nails ! Shouldn't I have more to think about - do than nails ? Off to USA in June + will be having a good look for polishes there too !
