    Chanel do a gorgeous Khaki shade, its about €20 in BTs.

    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.

    If you look on eBay for Khaki polish your bound to find something :)
    I've done a quick search on eBay and found these.

    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!

    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 :D

    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 :D

    Chanel - Rose Paradise is what I'm wearing today.

    Like Papparazzi I am only wearing one coat as two coats take too long to dry as it's thick and it is glittery so two coats would be pretty shimmery/glittery.

    Got a manicure today for $8! It's Essie Spaghetti Strap.

    Pretty much every "drug store" here has Essie and OPI for about $8.50, which is just under €6.

    Are elf nail polishes any good?

    Hope this isn't going off topic mods, but i used to bite my nails when I was younger and now they are really stumpy looking and tear really easily. I would love to have nails like some of ye have in the photos (I know some are models) but they all look so pretty. Any advice??

    I had similar nails, I posted some information here which may be of help.

    I definitely recommend trying the Diamond Strength Radiance Hand & Cuticle Polish and then trying either of these two.

    http://www.sallyhansen.com/products/nails/nail-care/nailgrowth-miracle%E2%84%A2-salon-strengthening-treatment

    http://www.sallyhansen.com/products/nails/nail-care/maximum-growth - I prefer this one as the other one smells horrible (imo). I use this daily and my nails are longer and strong and don't break as easily.

    Another tip is, when you have some length in your nails, file them, once a week.

    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! :)

    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.

    One coat wouldn't do me at all! Today I have two and it's fine, but like you sometimes I have had to go with 3! never found that with any of their other polishes.

    They are ok, not great, maybe a day or two. I don't tend to use topcoats on my nails....if I did alot of my nail varnishes would last much longer!

    H&M used to have much nicer colours about a year or two ago. My all time fave from H&M was this beautiful colour called "fashionista" it was this lovely purple colour....can't get it now! I hate when they discontinue your favorite colours! :mad: It was a varnish that would be commented on alot too! TYPICAL! :rolleyes:

    :mad: that is such a nice colour too!!! grr hate when they decide to stop really nice polish :( noticed they have stopped getting decent stargazer in new look. its just the same three colours on 4 shelves!!! why would you want that much of the same ones. they would make far more buying different colours.

    its super easy, just apply it like normal nail polish(just one thin coat) after a few seconds it will start to shatter.

    I bought the black/silver shatter look polish and it just came out plain black. I initially thought I applied it wrong but now I think I have to put on silver polish underneath? Is that correct or am I wrong again? Thanks for your help!
