    This is some random Rimmel coral and the tips are Topshop Heart of Gold. I used Essence French manicure stickers to do the tips.

    Love those Essence tip guides. They always come out perfect. I got something very similar to this done with gel colours, loved it!

    I use a quick dry top coat, have OPI at the moment. I don't stick them down too hard so they're easy enough to get off. And I just do a light coat with the tip colour, when I went too thick I ended up dragging it all over when taking the tips off!

    What are people's thoughts on those nail polishes that are base, colour and top coat in one? Like the Sally Hansen ones? Are they any good?

    Sometimes I don't have time to do a proper full mani and I can't abide just throwing on a colour, I need my base and top coat! :)

    So I was in my local chemist and since they are getting rid of the Essence and Catrice stands they had some polishes half price. Couldn't help myself. I bought these three (pics not mine):

    Catrice Salmon & Garfunkel:

    Excuse the sloppy paint and the flooded cuticles, and the wonky smile line but I'm sick, in hospital, so just goofing around instead of doing a proper job.
    Loved this look for ages, finally bought the matt top coat. Black is just an essence polish

    I have used Sally Hansen's double duty for a top/base and found it grand.

    Hope you feel better soon Lexie! :)

    Tried Sally Hansen Sugar Coat -Bubble Plum- that I got in Dealz for €1.50. The textured look takes some getting used to but I like the colour

    I love super dry clothes but wasnt sure if their make up would be any good. Picked up nail polish in punk pink the other day and I love it! It was about 6 euro - lovely colour, nice thick texture that was opaque in just two coats, dries fast and no chipping after several days.

    Finally tracked down a really opaque neon yellow! Apparently it's flourescent as well so if I can go back in time to 1996 and go to a rave I'll look the business

    I bought an NYC polish in Raindrop yesterday, such a gorgeously summery baby blue colour :)

    I had a fluoro yellow varnish at one stage! My inner rave child was obsessed with it. It didn't look nice in a non-disco environment though :/

    What brand is that?

    Claire's Accessories (€3.50), they had a really good selection of opaque neons. Possibly will buy myself a green after work today and have a full set of highlighter coloured nails for the weekend - classy!

    Nice one! After two weeks of work-appropriate neutrals, I'm going MAD for the weekend. Mad, Ted.

    Was at the beauty show in the RDS at the weekend ... Would have taken one of each home with me but settled for spending about a years worth nail polish in 20 minutes! No polish for at least 6 months now ...

    fkEVc8W.jpg?3wembbon.jpg?1

    And was in paris over the weekend with my sister so treated myself to Marc Jacobs ... wish we'd get a Sephora over here!
