    Thank you! We only collected it from the jeweller last week (we got it custom made) and I'm bloody delighted with it. :D

    So the Christmas Lights are going on in my town today. So obviously that influenced my polish choices. But I couldn't decide between Christmas Tree colours or Winter colours.

    So: The winter colours are the white with a ice blue dipped look, and the Christmas Tree colours are the green with the red crackle over it :)

    The blue isn't really showing up well in pics but I tried to get a pic of it:

    Super cute! The wee Christmas tree is adorable. How did you get your start so perfect or is it a stud kind of thing?

    Tape and some spare time :)

    Hey penny wren - the stars from a glitter polish. Fished it out with a toothpick!

    I got that Sally Hansen Insta Dry, woooooow.

    I did my nails last night, about an hour before I went to bed, woke up this morning, not a smudge in sight. I can't believe it.

    Thanks a million to those who recommended it, definitely worth the €8 it cost!

    Dealz on Henry st, dublin have some really nice revlon polishes. I got 2, a lovely black with a metallic grey undertone called black star and chroma chameleon in pink quartz. 1.49 each :)

    Bought my first Topshop nail polish as I had read some positive reviews about them. This is Fallen Leaf. Not my usual colour choice but something about it attracted me to it.

    Congratulations! It's beautiful! No wonder you got your nails done all nice :D


    I'm going for a shellac manicure at the weekend. Think I'm going to go for a French polish as well. I pretty much always have nail varnish on, but I can't do French polish to save my life so might as well get someone to do it for me!

    Got these in Deals recently, very happy with them, especially for €1.49, considering they are €7.69 in Boots.

    Revlon Radient - just a blue glitter polish, can't seem to find a good photo of it at all, so this will have to do.

    None of the pics are mine, I got them all from various blogs.

    I'm a sucker for nail polish, I'm absolutely awful. In my teenage years I was never into make up or nails etc, I'm more than making up for it now :o

    My bf counted mine a few weeks ago out of curiosity, think he counted about 80 (including top/base coats, treatments etc), although 97% of my polishes are coloured. I did give some away though to two friends as they are colours I don't use that often, so no point keeping them there so since I've given those away I probably have half the amount I had.

    If it wasn't for Dealz I wouldn't half the polishes I do have, most of them come from there.

    At least I'm not the only one who just cant resist buying more and more even though I have so many!! I find I always use the same 4/5 all the time which is awful considering the huge range I have to choose from!
    Must say catrice polishes are definitely my favourite with an essie undercoat and an essence gel look top coat. I find the paint lasts at least a week without chipping!

    Only did mine on Sunday and am already thinking what colour I'll do next he he!

    I only did mine yesterday and I want to change them already. :p

    You have a spreadsheet??? That's keeping tabs on the polish. I usually end up with two of the same polish as I forget I already have it bought months ago.

    I think quite a few of the folks on here have spreadsheets. There used to be a Nailpolish group (when boards still had a groups section) and we posted them up, did nailpolish swaps etc. I miss the swaps actually :(

    I wish a) I was organised enough to do that and b) I had enough nail polish to require that!

    I do have multiple nudes/pinks that may as well be the same colour!

    Sorry I didn't mean it to sound like a criticism. ****Secretly envious of you being so organised.

    Hehe :) It get's a little difficult though tryin to store them


  • Registered Users Posts: 209 ✭✭Saorenza


    I think I have a 110ish. It's a while since I counted them. I stopped buying new ones for while but have started again. The last few I got are the Rimmel Salon Pro ones -they last several days on me. I did get a glittery Barry M the other day though.

    I actually forgot I had a spreadsheet - I should update it.

    I stopped buying them too, with the exception of a few cheap ones on hols recently!

    It was getting ridiculous. I have 23 different shades of pink or some such nonsense.
