    Absolutely loving this thread!
    I've only gotten in to painting my nails over the past year and am slowly building up a collection of polishes. I was wondering where all of you get your Essie, OPI, China Glaze etc? I'm a little scared of ordering off ebay - I wouldn't know how to spot a fake, but I don't want to spend too much either.

    There are very little fakes in the world of nail varnish luckily. When I was in China, I saw fake OPI there but it was fairly obvious - wrong names attached the bottles.

    I buy from beautyzone2007. There are a few more I go for if she isn't in stock such as enchantedbeautyspot. They take about a week and a half to arrive and the products are always perfect!

    OPI Alpine Snow, Essie Babys Breath with Essie Carnival on top. Silver striping tape on ring finger too.

    Another vote for beautyzone2007. I've bought lots of China Glaze from her over the years. Delivery is always really fast too.

    Rouge Louboutin ... Couldn't resist the packaging!

    Beautiful bottle and a lovely piece to have on my cabinet but it's totally not worth the €45 ... essence do as good a red for less than 2 quid

    Thank god I had a voucher :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,439 ✭✭✭Sunny Dayz


    Orlee the bottle looks quite big. Still couldn't justify paying that price for a bottle of nail varnish!

    Thank you!

    Cuticle gel (OPI Avoplex), cuticle pusher when doing mani (from ebay) and cuticle nipper if required to get those little bits of skin.

    I need to buy more Barry M polishes, the shine from them is fab. I have a black polish by Barry M and it's one of my faves!

    I don't have any expensive polishes but that 17 Gel Colour range is really good quality from what I can tell.

    I'm terribly lazy when it comes to beauty, nails especially, but I'm fast becoming a fan of this range. Went back to Boots to pick up another one yesterday (Mocha-tini, lovely but not sure it suits my skin tone) and it's got the same luxurious look and feel IMO and easy peasy to apply. They're only €5.09 in my Boots, you can't go wrong :)

    Essence grey-t to be here. This has a gorgeous subtle shimmer, very sparkly in daylight


  • Registered Users Posts: 338 ✭✭PennyWren


    NYC boundless berry and a gold-ish striper. It looks kind of brown in this light but as the name suggests it's a lovely deep berry colour. I love the finish on the NYC polishes but they haven't brought out any nice ones recently, same with essence. I miss buying a new colour very week!

    First time painting my nails in a long time! A bit messy because it was late and I'm out of practice. Damn my job!


  • Registered Users Posts: 331 ✭✭cookiecakes


    Am back to work tomorrow after two weeks off so I wanted something bright that will cheer me up in the morning! This is Emily De Molly 'Where Boys Fear To Tread' and it's everything I've ever wanted in a pink polish!

    With those Sally Hansen complete manicure do you need to do a base and top coat or just the colour on its own??

    Well they are a pretty smooth application so if you don't usually use a base and top coat you probably wouldn't need to. I always use a base and top coat just because I don't trust any polish to not stain my nails and because they chip like crazy if I don't!

    I bought a couple of new essence bits today, including this gorgeous polish. It's called Be Berry Now! It looks quite pink in the pic but it's darker in the flesh, I love it!

    Does anyone else ever have nail disasters? I have painted them 3 times this even and made a mess of every attempt! So annoying. Eventually settled for something simple, matt grey and silver glitter. I'll have another craic at the fancy stuff at the weekend!

    Hey guys

    I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I'm stuck on what to do with my nails. My dress is white on top with a black skirt, I'm wearing a black shrug thing. My shoes are red, my bag is red, my hair is also red. :p

    Any suggestions?

    I'd go for a nude polish, or a very quiet opaque pink colour... or, on the opposite end of the scale, a high-shine black with a fun feature nail to pick up the other colours in your outfit :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Both great ideas.. I have some decisions to make!

    If your nails are long enough you could do Louboutin style nails with pink and red :)

    Would you go for white nails? I definitely wouldn't go for red. I think white nails would look great in contrast to the black skirt.
