08-06-2011 3:09pm#1this was suggested in what did you wear today thread so decided to set one up
anything can be covered here like reviews of polish,what you are currently wearing,ones to avoid and ones you highly recommend 
this way everything will be in one place so you wont have to search the site to find what you are looking for.

I think having a separate nailpolish thread is a great idea! I was thinking of starting one myself but don't always think of it:)
So here's what I am wearing today,
China Glaze - Ruby Pumps
This polish is from the China Glaze - Loves You So Much Collection Christmas 2009
It has fine red glitter and is amazing when applied, it has to be one of my favorites!!0 -

You can buy them online on millies.ie as well; bought three there last week and they arrived the next day!I need to invest in some OPI, any Corkonians want to point me in a good direction?

The colour payoff with the OPI polish is really good - one coat is enough pretty much. I bought Black Shatter, That's Berry Daring (a lovely hot pink), and Hong Kong Red My Fortune Cookie (a pillarbox red - or at least I think that's how you'd describe it
).
I love nail polish, so I'll probably be posting in here loads 0 -

great! its amazing how many different polishs there are that people dont know about. plus it makes it easier to pick a polish when you see pictures of it on nailYour Text Here wrote: »I love nail polish, so I'll probably be posting in here loads
yeah but its mainly for makeup and skin related products (thats what people post in there for the most part anyway)plus i think that nail polish deserves its own "special" threadPurple_Bobbin wrote: »This is a good idea, however there is a thread set up for cosmetics purchases and reviews.

I am getting a lot of Shellacs done at the moment but my favourite normal varnishes right now are:
Essie Lovie Dovie
(I do have long nails but none of these pics are of my hands!)
Nails Inc Basil St
Essie Punchy Pink
I tend to like a lot of bright colours but I do have a large range in my make up case. I'm lucky that my nails grow long quite quickly and are relatively strong so my nails do look quite like pic no1.0 -
This Essie one is nice; Your Hut or Mine
I guess I'l ladd in a small, maybe odd tip of mine - you know those fake nails you can gets, well i had a bunch of them lying around and I practice all the colours on them :pac: Fun when you're bored!0 -
I was in Penneys today and noticed the Catrice nail varnishes... are they any good does anyone know? I know its Penneys and its cheap so they most likely aren't great but are they really rubbish and chip easily or are they worth buying?
Edit: and does anyone know if they sell them in either Penneys or Dunnes in Dun Laoghaire? Don't want to make the trip in to find they aren't there. Also do dunnes cornelscourt have them?0 -

i think miss sporty are pretty good for one coats. it depends if your nails are long or short though. if they are long then the white tip might still show.Any recs for nail varnishes that only need one coat and dry quickly? Time is money and all that! Maybelline Express Finish is the only good one I've found so far, but the range of coulrs isn't much to write home about. It goes on nice and bright and dries so quickly though!
have you tried stargazer? great quality brand and the polish lasts ages. you need about three thin coats or two thick ones but they dry sooooo quickly that it shouldnt be too much of a problem time wise 0 -
Cool, I must give Stargazer a go - one of my first ever nail varnishes in my teens was a purple Stargazer one, I loved it soi think miss sporty are pretty good for one coats. it depends if your nails are long or short though. if they are long then the white tip might still show.

Just tried out a Rimmel 60 Seconds polish that I had in my 'to try' stash and it came out pretty nicely and dried quickly - my hands are so wobbly though that I really shouldn't wear non-pale colours. Wobbly edges all over the place.0 -

One coat took about 15-20mins to dry (it's quite thick).

There's a few on eBay as well, though the bidding usually ends over £20 + postage so buying in BTs is cheaper, plus by buying in BTs you're guaranteed to get a genuine product, whereas with eBay you have to be very careful.

brilliant thread idea i am a nail varnish addict I am currently drolling over the pictures pythia and purple bobbin posted while telling myself I do not need any more polishes!
My favourites at the moment are Nails inc in Jerymn Street and fashion fawn (the one that came free with instyle magazine). I have OPI elaphantastic pink on my toes
A lovely friend bought me a barry m shatter polish in pink yesterday can't wait to try it out i love the black one
Question from changing my nail polish so often my cuticles and the skin beside my nails is all gone awful - anything I can use to sort it out? and can anyone recommend an awesome top coat? Im using the sally hanson strengthening top and base coat at the moment. I ride horses a lot so my nails end up in bits its maddening when I've spent ages doing them!0 -
love the thread girls!! my favorite summer polish is rimmel's coralicious 60 seconds, it's a fab colour and lasts really well!! plus it drys super fast and i'm a disaster when it comes to waiting for polish to dry i always end up smudging it 0

Bought a few Catrice nail varnishes in Dunnes today and very pleased with them they are so cheap as well, got 3 for €8.40! Gorgeous colours as well, I got:
'I Sea You' (lovely turquoisy green colour, wearing it atm!)
'I Scream Peach' (peachy/coral colour)
'Lost in Mud' (light brown, nude colour)
Wish they had a few more darker colours, but overall I am very pleased with them 0 -

Essence nail polish, €1.29 in Pennys, Dunnes and lots of chemists
This colour is Everybody's Talking About!!
Discon from the range over the last few weeks :mad: :mad: Some chemists still have this, got a few bottles in a local one for 90cent each

Are elf nail polishes any good?
Any advice??
I think they are good. Any nail varnish I wear chips during my work day as I'm constantly opening the backs of phones. I get about 3-4 four days out of it on avarage! The colours are so much different to the nail varnishes you can get in pennys and the chemists! 0 -
Are elf nail polishes any good??
I love elf nailpolish I have a few bottles my favorite by far would be Champagne it's very different from anything I have. I can get a couple of days out of them without chipping which is brilliant for 1.70 nailpolish.
Dark Navy
Champagne
I'm swatching Party Purple at the moment 0 -
