    Which pink and green Rimmel one's are in the middle? They look gorgeous.

    The green one is 'Green Grass' and the other is actually pillar box red. However it does look pink in the photo and you reminded me that one of my favourite nail varnish wasn't in that photo coz it's in my bag! It is a 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish from boots in 'Caribbean Coral' and it looks like the red does in the photo!!

    Can anyone advise on the Katy Perry OPI Black Shatter.. im thinking of getting it but does it look as good as the pictures or is it a disaster???

    I love it & find it really easy to apply but like any of the shatter / crackle top coats it only really shows up well if you use it over a colour that isn't too close to it's colour (use a bright or pale or glittery varnish underneath)

    OPI is expensive so unless you're going to wear it a lot I would recommend going with one of the cheaper brands like Barry M or Boots 17. The end result is the same but for less!

    Thanks for the advise :) yeh i might try the cheaper versions first to see if i like it :):)

    Everything chips on me!! I use it under a black graffiti polish so it lasts longer and they look really good together!

    A top coat is good to help stop polish chipping.

    I use the BarryM one and find it to be better than my Sally Hansen one.

    Mine a horrid shape at the minute, two of them broke on me, so now they are different lengths :(

    I hate filing them though cos I'm useless at it and I haven't the patience for it, I always get mam to do mine cause she likes filing nails lol.

    I love this thread! I can't go without nail varnish. For about 4 years straight I wore gel nails and only stopped wearing them about 9 months ago because I started doing a makeup course, and my nails are still in crap condition, therefore I cover them up in nail varnish!

    I have loads of Rimmel ones because they're easy to apply, they've a good selection and they're cheap, however I find the actual bottles don't last very long, they dry out and I've never had a bottle last more than halfway down.

    Recently I've started buying Revlon and IsaDora and find them both great for lasting.

    This is my current favourite, Baby Blue by IsaDora (sorry for bad quality)

    Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to strengthen my nails? Because they're so weak, I can't wear them long and nail varnish chips quite quickly :(

    Thanks girls :) have nails like concrete most of the time, pain to file end up in a cloud of white dust :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭lil-ms-vodka


    @ ibarelycare, find the same with all my Rimmel polishes. Best thing is to get a bottle of OPI nail lacquer thinner (Ebay) i bought a bottle about 6 yrs ago and still have about 1/4 left, couple of drops makes the polish like new :D

    Sally Hansen diamond nail strengthener is great.

    Loving the IsaDora polish by the way :D Nails look pretty!

    Mine are the exact same and always break at work! Have to keep them very short. But I take Boots hair and nail vitamins, they are about €7 I think and always on 3 for the price of 2. Use a nail strengthening hand cream too. They do work, I just always forget to take/ use them.
