    Aaaaah bliss!

    An entire thread devoted to nail polish.

    I have 138 :eek:polishes or thereabouts and I absolutely love them. I have a mix of brands but probably more Nails Inc, I've never tried OPI although a lot of people rate them highly.

    My absolute favourite is Serpentine (Nails inc) a gorgeous dark blue.

    The crazy thing is that I can't wear nail polish to work so can only paint my finger nails on the weekend or when I'm on holiday. I doubt if I'll ever manage to finish a bottle :rotfl:

    Absolutely love the pictures FannyAdams.

    I love seeing swatches, lets me know how a colour looks on before I buy.

    Unfortunately/fortunately (depends what way you look at it!), my nail polish addiction was cured by starting placement that means no nail varnish allowed. :( Maybe I should have thought about this before choosing a particular career. :p

    .

    Sound similar to the Creative "Inkwell" I've been playing with lately. A fabulous inky blue/black. I've taken to adding a thin swirl of an OPI holographic over the top to give the illusion of a nebula in the night sky.

    Great threat! I'm addicted to nail polish! I probably have around 180 but it's been a while since I counted. Most of them I've only used once! :eek:
    I think I might have to start selling some of them. I have no more room! I've never used up a bottle of polish, I wonder how long it would take.

    Barry M is an excellent brand though and affordable at only £2.95.

    I agree as well, Barry M is great.

    Today I'm wearing Models Own grey day as the base, then Sally hansen Glass slippers on top (gorgeous white flakies) and then my accent finger has an additional layer of Deborah Lippmann's Today was a fairtytale.

    As I mentioned before, I am wearing nails inc Jermyn St ( a taupe that looks quite pinky) with a french tip in a good sparkley silver. Nails inc minis do have the names on the but scuppered if I can read what the silver is called.

    You don't need a steady hand for all of it:D Have you thought of trying water marbling? No need to keep your hands still for that it's just dipping them in water:D

    I'm trying to sell a couple of my nail varnishes on a facebook selling page at the moment but I still have about 12 I think. Mainly Barry M coz I can't afford anything more expensive! :p

    I bought a Rimmel topcoat from Poundland the other day, they always seem to have good brands in the makeup bit...

    Toes, dear, toes.


    I miss my long, lovely fingernails, but at least I can still have funky toes.


    What are people's recommendations for getting something as close to the Rockstar look as possible without handing a salon the best part of my food budget for the month?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
