    I bought these for about 13 euro today in Boots.I find that they all dry really quickly which is always a plus and the green only needed one coat for good coverage and the orange two coats.Though I gave them both 3 because it took little or no time to paint them.

    It was my first time using crackle polishes and so far I love them.I'm not mad on the black and green combination as I think its quite dull and dreary but I'm dying to try it with a neon pink or with a red to see if it looks better.The white is definitely my favourite .

    I think they look quiet Halloween-y or patriotic but that works today I suppose due to the match.:P

    Sorry about the dodgy paint job and lack of nails.I don't usually wear nail varnish because I have to take it off for work but I'm trying to give them a go now.

    I absolutely love Forget-Me-Not. It was one of my first Catrice Nail Varnishes. So pretty and the sliver shimmer is just wow!

    Honerbright, where did you get the nail plates if you don't mind me asking?

    Sauvignon82, thanks a million - I need a LOT of nail art practice, but sure practice makes perfect :)

    I have a few 17 polishes that I got ages ago and never really use cos they chip so easily. I decided to put on a layer of a similar colour first and then just one coat of the 'bad' polishes to see if it lasted any better....and it has!

    First I tried Rimmel Euphoria over Barry M mushroom

    barry%20m%20nail%20paint%20mushroom.jpg

    Usually it takes even 3 coats of the Rimmel to show up nicely but I just used one coat of the barry m and one of the rimmel on top followed by a top coat. You get the colour of the rimmel but the staying power of the barry m. Lasted about 5 days like that.

    Tried the same thing with a red 17 polish over rimmels coral, also still going strong 4 days later.

    I used a baby pink polish all over my nail, let it dry, then put a little bit of darker polish on the end of a sponge and sponged it half way over the pink, then let that dry and sponged a bit of darker on top, finished with a glittery topcoat :) I want to do it in loads of colours now!!


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


    This polish is going on my Christmas wish list. How gorgeous is it?!

    :eek::eek: omg I need this in my life!

    Have you a link to it please?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭honerbright


    Honerbright, where did you get the nail plates if you don't mind me asking?

    Amazon :) Cost me just under 20 euro including shipping and arrived in about a week. Really impressed so far, they don't seem any different to the Konad (except in price)!

    I just got it in an email from Harvey Nichols. The colour is called The Black Knight. According to the Butter London website it's a limited edition for Christmas 2011. I want it so much!

    Here's the other colours in the Holiday Range.

    Tart With A Heart looks fab too :)

    I was bored last night! Wearing Bourjois nail varnish in Beige Glamour with glitter I bought in Hairspray yesterday stuck on over!

    Got Nails Inc Basic Street with Glamour magazine today. Still on the hunt for Tate and Victoria.

    Absolutely love this nude colour, they rarely suit me, but this one does thankfully :D

    That's a nice nude shade. I got Tate and love it, I am sorry I didn't pick up another of them.

    I got a set of mini Muppet Opi nail polishes today.

    Just put on Opi's 'Let Me Entertain You' which I bought last year. It's an Xmassy red but with subtle pinky glitter. Pic from google.

    They look cute and I'm a sucker for a gimmick but they're quite dear for what they are I think! You can get finger bowls on eBay for about €1.60 each including postage and they'd be easier to keep clean. I can PM you the seller I've bought mine from if you like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,114 ✭✭✭doctor evil


    Any ideas for a nice shimmery magenta?

    I know OPI had something like it with a goldish shimmer but for the life of me I cannot recall the name.
