Stay Perfect Nail Varnish in Milan
I dithered about this colour in the shop as it looked a little bit too glittery for me but having forced myself and tried it this morning I am pretty impressed. 'Tis more shimmery than glittery.
Best thing is it is easy to apply, goes on quite thick and no brush strokes to be seen! Now all you experts wont see brush strokes at all but I have fun doing my right hand I can tell you.
^^this was a quote from jelly baby, but seem to have lost that info! But thank you jellybaby!
Oh Good! I had 2 vouchers burning a hole in my purse, went to a tiny boots, not many colours - but quite liked the look of Milan so bought it on spec! Sounds like it might be a goody then! Also bought the Stay Perfect clear varnish - I asked the SA if it was the one which changes the colour and she said no, that was a 'special' one which i would only find in a big store with a proper No 7 counter. Is she right?! or was she just trying to put me off using my voucher!
Hi HippyGirl,
I asked No7 SA which one to use to change colour of Miracle nail varnish and she said the Stay Perfect Clear which I got and it works! She did tell me it had to be a No7 clear varnish but I guess she would say that, wouldn't she?"Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence": Desiderata0 -
How on earth did you manage that? I went into boots yesterday with some £5 off no7 little bill had sent for me. noticed the lip gloss at £4.38 and thought oooh, I'll try. Took it up to till with some paracetamol/ibuprofen (which i use all the time - bad migraines!) in case you needed to spend £5.
Wouldnt scan so i asked her to put it thru manually. She said its not valid on reduced items. I said can you not try anyway? She did and it wouldnt work.
I said, thats strange I know people who've used it. Are you sure you've keyed the number in right?
She said yes but I will try again. No joy again. It said, qualifying amount not met.
rather annoying cos I'd have got a few if it had worked!
Guess I was lucky then - got one of these yesterday AND the ca gave me 62p change!!
wooh, this thread moves so fast!0 -

Oh, thanks Silver Sapphire - thats the one I got, so will have to see if it works!0 -
Yay i got my first star!
Went to boots today and used 5 £5 off no 7 vouchers! SA all very nice and they scanned first time! got
An eyeshadow (Island sea?) It's blueish! £2
Limited addition bronzing compact £5.50
Nail varnish £1.25
Nail Varnish £1.50
Blusher £3.25 (i think!)
Was very pleased!
I also purchased:
Umberto Gianni (Sp?) shampoo £4.99
Umberto Gianni conditioner Free with express voucher!
Botanics 3 min hair miracle stuff 2 for £5, used 250 points acm voucher, till beeped and SA pulled all stuff out of the bag and grudginly decided I had bought the right products so could have my extra points and got someone to add them manually! Yay! Couldn't see any clearence in Victoria centre (Nottingham) and none in any Nottingham city centre boots stores! (I must be looking in the wrong places!)
Found some SEL reduced in Broadmarsh, got sanctuary floral bath stuff (In glass jar) £2.49
Sanctuary green cooling spary for £1.xx.
No s&g reduced and no stock of what was! Was going to buy blueberry body butter but at £9.50 gave it a miss!!! Hopefully it will come down in price as I want to try the S&G range!
Also tried the tiny boots on the square and bought one of my nail varnish's there, the till gave me a survey so was pleased about that, it's my 1st one! The SA was really trying to urge me to do it! She looked so pleased when I promised I would! I have now given them good feedback!
Well that's all for now I think, I did get a fragrence voucher what's a good thing to use it on? (I.e. cheap!! Yet nice!) For me or OH?
It was a till split voucher as well by the way! As I know someone was asking on this thread a few pages ago!0 -
Hilloooo ladies....am back from my hols and raced out today to play with all my remaining vouchers and the £5 email one...what a disaster!
Nothing would scan - none of the ACM/GWP points voucher combos mentioned on here would work, but the the SA was soooo lovely and tried everything. She really wanted to get them through for me, bless her. I gave up in the end ....not a good welcome back for me - sob.
