    Just wondering if you guys had some recommendations for a decent glitter nail polish? Looking for something super glittery and girly

    Essence Party Princess is fairly girly & glittery and it's super cheap.

    ^ That looks great! I think I could be making a trip into Boots today! :D

    Have you used it Orlee? The reviews look very positive I have to say. :)

    I've used it Purple Pawprints, it's brilliant but doesn't last very long if you use strong colours or several layers, still a great buy especially for when you're in a hurry (or feeling lazy!)

    I do tend to use strong colours and layers but I think I might give it a go and see what it's like :)

    Got it earlier. I love it, it's so handy!

    Question for people:
    Anyone know of a nail varnish similar to Collection 2000 Hot Looks no. 23 Show Off? It's an electric blue colour. :)

    Yeah I bought it last week and it takes even the darkest, layered polish off in seconds.

    I haven't tried it with a glitter yet though. I also wonder how long it will last but would be great for traveling or if you're in a rush :)

    Takes slightly longer for a glitter polish, I was wondering about that myself before I tried it. I was wearing Lights Camera Glitter on my ring fingers over another polish and I had all my fingers done within a couple of minutes. Best product ever! I wonder how long does it last.

    They are so cool. I am sorry for all you have been going through.

    I did these last night. Trying to be cheerfully summery!

    Sorry to hear that stargirl.gra. My mother died last month and I haven't felt like painting my nails much since then:/

    Anyway I am going to a wedding at the weekend - I will be wearing a stripey dress with purple, orange, blue, coral, magenta, white and black; a bag with similar colours and purple shoes/wrap. What colour should I paint my nails?

    So sorry for both of your losses xx

    I'd be tempted to go with blue nails but I'm a bit odd..maybe match the purple in the wrap? :)

    Ultimate tackiness in nail form. It's from etsy, called Neon Lights by Lush Lacquer. Unfortunately I had a little chip before taking the photo.

    Okay just a warning for anyone else with a chalkboard kit - give the black polish ages to dry or you will make a balls of it when you try and draw on it - mine hadnt dried quiet enough yesterday and I ended up with black on my markers grrrr :o

    I found that mine dried very quickly!

    It also chipped pretty easily!

    I would also recommend one of their topcoats. I actually have 'clowning around' on top to accentuate the glitter. The toppers seem very versatile and they have a few new colours. I just bought the minis, never use a full size of anything anyway! :)
