    There is NYC in Penneys here too - but the colours are all various pink and red shades.. Superdrug in Santry has a fabulous NYC stand.
    I just think for the capital, we don't get a lot of the good stuff up here - and the distributors decide who does, not Essence/Catrice because I've asked them both and they can't guide me either :-(

    Maybe they make more sales for essence in the Galway penneys?

    I know that's not very helpful but it might be why they don't stock everything in dub.

    Oh my god, the Essence stand in Penneys in Galway is AMAZING. It's twice the size of the normal ones! So annoying that they don't have one in Dublin :( I could only buy so much today :p It has Konadesque stamping plates and everything, and magnetic polish too. I'll post my haul tomorrow!

    @dancingqueen - I think the NYC stand in the Mary St Penneys is pretty good? I've saw loads of random colours.

    Also, Cara Pharmacy in the Quayside in Sligo is selling OPI polish now. They've the full Holland collection and some other random ones.

    I must have a good luck at the Essence stand in the Galway Penneys. Have they made it bigger? Usually I just grab something off it as I wait in line for the tills.

    they moved it from the queue to the place it was before- Made the stand way bigger with all new products, added on a catrice stand at the side. It's fairly amazing :D

    Is red nail polish (on toes and hands) OK to wear with a coral top?

    Going out for the bfs bday tomorrow night and I'm wearing a coral top, jeans and sandals and was gonna do the nails in red!

    Just ordered these lovlies :) They were $2.33 each but after conversion they ended up being 1.92Eur each. Never heard of them of tried them before but after a little research they seem to be good enough (especially at that price and 10ml size)

    The packaging and labeling lead me to believe that they are an Asian rip off of OPI! Not sure though!

    Was at the afters of a wedding last night in the city and dashed into Penneys for a few minutes en route.

    Got two nail toppers - glorious aquarius and copper'ize me! And the cuticle softening pen. They were nearly closed so didn't have a good look - back in the city tomorrow though.

    I've read some reviews and apparently they're find apart from the smell, ha ha? So be prepared to block your nose while applying ;)

    Nope, I didn't see the Teal one, that said, I didn't look properly, just glanced at the stand and picked up Denim.

    Is this teal one, or a different one?

    https://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&q=barrym+teal&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1517&bih=741&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=0RHvT_j-NIKEhQf0gumNDQ#um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=0hHvT-L1PMa6hAf0zP2TDQ&ved=0CEMQvwUoAQ&q=barry+m+teal&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=fd1406154ef7f809&biw=1517&bih=741

    If it is that one - O.P.I Teal The Cows Come Home looks to be a similar colour to it, that's just going by pictures online though, I've never seen that BarryM one.

    I have to go into town on next Wednesday so I can have a look for that Teal one, and if they have it, I can pick it up and post it to you, if you want hun?

    I tried my boots stand and they didn't even have the space left out for it? I'm starting to doubt it's even in Ireland :P
    I've asked Barry m but they suck at replying :/ Awh thanks but I'm on a nail polish ban :D I'd just love to know if we can actually get it here :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 209 ✭✭Saorenza

    Ladies WOWZA! There are so many polishes I'm lusting over!

    Do you think we could make it a rule that we need to post where we got the polish .... I feel like asking evey time but don't want to be pestering people and filling the thread with questions.

    I'm not the best online buyer when it comes to polish so it would be great to get some details on where people get theirs!
