    Finishing up in work today (starting a new job on Monday)

    these are my "last day nails" :D

    A England Tristam with a H&M blue jelly glitter polish on ring finger and thumb... it's like OPI Last Friday Night

    First pic is before cleanup and second one is this morning, outside

    Wow, that's really pretty, dancingqueen! I think I saw that H&M polish the other day and I almost bought it, I might have to go back now and get it. :o

    Yep, that's the one I saw! They look great together, I might just have to buy both... :cool: Do you think the A England polish is worth the price? I've heard they're great but £9 is a lot!

    Yes, actually. The depth of colour and lack of coating is a winner for me on these - now this is the only one I have, but I'm due to get more! There's a new collection out too. Sometimes she has half price sales on for a week or two. That is how I got this one. If you keep an eye on her facebook page, she'll advertise it. It's good with free shipping, to get them for approx €5

    Thank you Pythia!! :D

    Can anyone recommend a good cuticle cream/ gel? I used the essence one and it absolutely wrecked my cuticles, completely dried them out and made them peel really badly :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,079 ✭✭✭dancingqueen


    The best I've tried is Lemony Flutter from Lush

    It's a big pot, lasts a while, and smells SO good.... it's about €7

    That or just pure coconut/almond oil will work well too :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,089 ✭✭✭✭LizT


    Oh I forgot about Lemony Flutter! I used it years ago and found it really good, can't remember why I stopped using it :P

    Unfortunately I don't. :( Thanks anyway! Checked a couple of the Penneys when I was in Dublin on saturday, nothing there!

    nope they are gone now. They only have the new cherry blossom set in which is pure crap in comparison


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,921 ✭✭✭✭hdowney


    It's weird. My local chemist never got the Snow White, they've had Cherry Blossom for a while. I was talking to the girl in there today and she said she was talking to the Essence rep who delivers there stuff (probably cos I have kept hounding her :o) and the rep said there were different Essence distributors :eek: So whilst ye may get Snow White, we may never see it. Me no likey that situation at all. Am still short 3 dwarves and 3 toppers. Going to DL with the mammy on Tuesday (she has another hosp apt there) and gonna go back into the Pennys where I got the rest and PRAY they have the others. I'll so cry if I don't complete the set

    I think I've posted pics of this colour a lot before, but how I love China Glaze Manic Purple for barbie hands. Although, doesn't look at all purple to me. Maybe I've just discovered that I'm purple-blind later in life

    I saw on some blogs that peel off nail polish base is being made. Its main function is to help glitter polishes come off. I found this blog post on it. I will definitely be investigating this when I get a chance!

    PVA glue is another solution. It's apparently the exact same as peel off base coats.
