    I actually won those polishes from a blog giveaway so I'm not exactly sure! They're only $1.99 in the states so I'd give ebay a go.

    Wearing Rimmel PRO - 307 Grape Sorbet. Nice but has a strange streaky effect.

    I have that problem with a lot of their polishes.

    I have that problem with a lot of their polishes.

    I'm not sure whether it's meant to be like that though. There was a lot of those "foil" polishes coming out that had a similar finish but whether that's the style or just streaky I'm not sure.

    Took a photo of my stash while reorganizing, am currently looking for something better to store them away. Looking at them all neatly standing up makes it look like I don't have as big a problem as I thought! When they are all scattered it can look quite messy.

    Ordered a couple the other day and they should be arriving tomorrow, will take a pic of those as well. (Having Instagram on Droid really makes life easier for me!)

    The new colours are fab though :P

    I love nail varnishes, I always get swayed by the colour but I do wonder how enviromentally friendly they are? How easy is it to recyle empty bottles and the like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,281 ✭✭✭Valentina


    Brandalley.co.uk have some Butter London polishes (incl some SS 2012 colours) for sale at up to 50% off.

    Well the bottles are made of glass and that's recyclable and you can always keep the empty bottle and make franken polish out of them so your polish is unique. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,069 ✭✭✭musical.x


    My collection :)

    Yeh I can sort of see why you would have difficulty choosing just one :P You have some beautiful colours!! Barry m bright pink and OPI vodka and caviar are amazing.

    It annoys me that Miss sporty don't put the names on the bottle but they have them on the stand :mad:

    Deadly, thanks for the heads up. I ordered some from the BL site a few months ago and they never arrived. I got the money back from Paypal but I really wanted the polishes, so fingers crossed this time works out better for me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Orlee


    I've been wearing Victoriana since Friday morning, and only have some minor tip wear so far :) Don't know about any of the others, but this one seems fine!



    I got mine on beautymatters.ie.

    I found them grand! Polishes generally arrived within a day or two via an post, all wrapped up in bubblewrap too :)

    Loving the pix of collections! I'll post mine when I get a bit of time, it'll take forever as I have so many polishes :o

    That annoys me too. :(

    Actually just came here to post about Miss Sporty nail varnish. I have it on my nails, a blue colour which I love, since yesterday. 2 coats and a top coat. Went to the gym this morning and left with 4 pretty badly chipped nails. Usually I get about 4 days out of nail varnish without chipping so this isn't impressive. I know it's cheap but I'm a little sad!


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭suomi


    I got two new nail polishes the other day:

    NYC Carrie'd Away (on the right)

    scaled.php?server=31&filename=79433153.jpg&res=landing

    And Sally Hansen's Strengthen And Grow. Really hoping it's good as my nails have been in terrible condition lately. It was only about €6 anyway.

    371724.jpg

    Both pictures from Google.

    Edit: Forgot one. :p An Essence nail polish in Space Queen.

    I have one miss sporty (Red tango-it's red :P ) and i didn't have any problems with chipping but i suppose it differs for everyone depending on what you are doing.
    Plus considering the price of them went up to €3 they are getting quite dear for their size and quality

    in boots! that's crazy. Didn't think they would sell it.
    I really want it but the chemicals and possible conditions and stuff you can get from using it really worry me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    I've gone through 2 bottles now and no side effects for me yet! :pac:

    I never buy it in boots though, it's like €16, you can get it on ebay for like €8 delivered.

    ha!:D
    Jeez that is far cheaper than I thought!!
    How do you find it? Do you still get sheet marks and other polish related "diseases" like bubbling :P ?

    Nope, nothing like that. No bubbling whatsoever. You put it on and 30 seconds later you nails are touch dry and a minute after and you can rub them and go about your business and not a smudge to be seen. Don't know how I got by without it :)

    I'd say the result I got from my bottle of Seche Vite are very similar to yours, except halfway through it's now gone very thick and gloopy and I've tried to thin it but I think you need to buy their own brand of thinner? Not sure, but it's not the same and it takes much longer to dry now :(

    I bought a few more bottles of polish today. This addiction is getting out of hand. Must put a spending ban on now... but I'm really looking forward to the new OPI collections. The Spiderman one has a straight up dupe of Chanel's Peridot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    My first bottle went a bit gloopy too, but then I realise I wasn't actually tightening the cap properly after use. Didn't have that trouble with my second bottle but then again I paint my nails every 2/3 days normally so I tend to use up the bottles fairly quickly. The one that REALLY annoys me is that the brush is way too short for the bottle so I end up trying to roll the bottle around to get the last of it or just giving up and buying a new bottle when there was still about 2/3rd of a centimetre left in the bottom.

    I think it was maybe €13? The other Seche stuff is more expensive though. It was also on the 3 for 2 promotion over the weekend so I got two lip pen thingies too... happy out :)

    I really should have just done this from the start! I do a lot of nailpolish swaps from all over the world and it's handy to just email each other your spreadsheet so you wont buy a polish the other already owns.

    The Summer swaps will be happening soon so I may get a move on! We should hold a nailpolish swap soon on Boards that would be fun :D
