    I have a bottle of Essence My Little Kimono, its a gorgeous grey colour and its the only grey colour that suits me.

    It was part of their Cherry Blossom range which is discontinued, so I'm looking for a dupe for MLK, can anyone recommend one that is similar in colour to it please? My bottle is almost finished and I'm desperately looking for a replacement.

    I have Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Greige on my toes at the moment and it looks exactly the same as your pics above, although it looks greyer in the bottle than it is in reality. Lasts well on my nails too.

    Looks very similar to NYC Park Ave, which is my fave grey/neutral. It's gorgeous on, I've posted pics of it here before and they are cheap as chips.

    Penny Wren, Essie Chinchilly is similar too. Boots or Sam Mc Auleys have it.

    Am trying to work my way through the 20-something new bottles that arrived last week! This is Independence Day by Colors by Llarowe. It's super glitzy and shiny. Perfect for the Monday morning blues.

    I think I need to start destashing as I'm clocking in over 500 now. Is there still a swap group here?

    Don't feel ashamed. I got about 20 recently myself. You are perfectly entitled to spend your money how you wish! :)

    Did you get them all from llarowe?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭Lyaiera

    The China Glaze & OPI are from phoenix beauty lounge which do really cheap shipping. The a-england's are from their own site. The Crowstoes are from Harlow & Co. Everything else is from Llarowe I think!!

    You could try the tinfoil method! You soak a few cotton balls in remover, then pop them on your nail with a bit of tinfoil over them. Leave them on for a few minutes and if you press down on the cotton ball as you're pulling them off the polish just kinda slides of with them. I use this all the time now for glitter because removal is such a nightmare otherwise!

    I'm trying this method out right now on my toes! If it works I'll be forever grateful!

    Just wondering if any of you guys know where you can get Korres nail varnish in a bricks and mortar shop, preferably Cork or Dublin? Discovered their nail varnish in Greece and I think it's amazing! Every other polish chips even on the first day but I get a good few days out of Korres even without any base coat or top coat! Please help me fuel my addiction :-)

    I've seen them in TK Maxx in Galway city, but maybe other TK Maxx stores might be worth a look? I don't know where else Korres is available to purchase in store though, sorry.

    It's called 'Buff'. If you Google it there's better pictures, I really like it.
