    Looking to get a nice, deep, plum colour polish? A plain one with no shimmer/sparkle/glitter etc, something glossy that's not terribly expensive, any suggestions?

    Thanks. I've had a look at that one but it seems to have some shimmer in it and has a slight metallic finish which I don't want.

    I do appreciate your suggestion though, thank you :)

    I thought so too and I wanted a plum with shimmer so I bought it but it doesn't have any discernible shimmer at all.

    If you're in the Tullamore area, Dolans Pharmacy which is in the same shopping centre as Dunnes (just beside the Bridge House) is selling their Essie polishes for €6.99. They have a pretty good selection too. Got Ballet Slippers which I have wanted to get for ages.

    I have no affiliation with them, just thought that this was a good offer. :)

    Thanks. :) Of course you can copy it.

    The colours are Black Pool, Wildfire and Tinsel Toast.

    Tinsel Toast was a limited edition last year, but of course all colours can be replaced.

    Hope this pic works. I was bored while the bf was playing fifa so started messing with my black and gold nail polishes. Finished off with small blue sparkles.

    My boyfriend bought me an Essie Christmas collection nail set. Painted my nails last Thursday so nearly a week ago.
    Still not a chip, first Essie Polish I've ever used and very impressed! Base coat, two coats and a top coat. Only slip wear to the tip. :D

    You could nearly tell just from the pic that blue is a Sinful polish, they all have a certain look, love them! Was in Hong Kong recently where they were less than €2... Why oh why didn't I get more of 'em??

    That is gorgeous. I really wish nude colours suited me, but they always make me look like I have no nails so I have to avoid them :(

    Has anyone had Shellac done in Fifth Avenue? I'm considering having it done there for my holidays at the end of January. Any reviews appreciated!
