    Dunno about other stores, but Belfast Donegal Place have Ted Baker vanity cases to match the £9 bags for £6.25 (still £12 on .com)

    Hi guys, i had a very strong urge to go to the Trafford centre, and lo! it was right! What a find....!

    There is a NEW MF GWP!! Consisting of 2 Nailfinity nail varnishes (in lovely subtle shades may i add - See Through Peach & Whispering Ivory) all in a very pretty pink plastic zip up bag. :T

    They are that lovely - i just had to get 7, yep 7! And i'm bloody proud of myself for doing so too! SS tills helped immensly though i must say.

    Went to the SS tills in my usual 'don't care who sees me' manner and...as ever, they were totally unguarded. I just did 2 at a time for a few times then sod it, 3 in the end... all transactions were with nothing else too. Oh wait, i did get some free JF serums with them too as i have enough JF hairspray now! Not a penny to pay and My God, I absolutley LOVE SS Tills!

    Pic of haul:

    There are plenty left Manchester bootsers, in the exact same place the black GWP were last time, on top of MF stand upstairs (alas the old black ones have gone, no doubt due to us... :o ) but these lil' beauties have replaced them. YaY!

    Get going ladies. SS tills highlly advised if you want a lot of them though...

    Happy Happy Happy :j:j:j

    I have to say...it would personally make me uneasy to put the "free" GWPs through the SS tills. Yes I might get away with it more easily but...at least if I went through a manned till and then got stopped going out the shop with something I hadn't had to pay for, I could say with perfect truth that the SA had let me have it. While with a SS till....well, I know there would be a reciept with £0.00 written on it to show I'd scanned it, but security could argue that really, it was unreasonable for me to expect something for nothing. Shakey ground, if you see what I mean? And if you were doing it with multiples too.....could get difficult, no?

    You've got nerves of steel though, Missus. I'm impressed! :beer:

    Hehe, fair comment, but i did have OH with me, he took the bag away everytime i did a transaction, if i was on my own, i would have no way returned with already having got some now in a boots bag. :eek:

    I saw the opportunity though and took it, this was near the end of the night and tbh, no-one cared what anyone did in there it seemed.

    Thanks for your comment on my braveness, i was impressed and inspired by many on here

    Did these go through as £0.00 and what does it say on the reciept as I've not seen these as gwp before? or did it say spend not met like the olay ones you got last week. They seem to be bringing out lots of old stock at my local boots but guarded by sales assistants as if they were the crown jewels. We have the old summer ones out at the moment which aren't much cop . I'd be a bit careful they are likely to have cameras on the ss tills.
  • I have quite long nails and I am in agreement with the other posters who said the MF nailfinity out of the black GWP is fab, just applied it to my nails this evening and I now fancy the other GWP with the nail varnishes in, will have to start having a scoot round over the weekend
