Tk mxx is so handy. Did you see the barielle shades? They did look quite nice

I don't really think so. A lot of them need a good three coats and are still very sheer. Plus its rare to hear a good word about their formula.

I have some Essie polishes and I agree, I don't think they're worth 16 euro. I find the ~$7.50 they are here is a little high considering that I find them a pain to work with. The colors can be lovely though if you don't mind building up to get that.

Oh okay. I'll just stick to admiring them in the shop then.

Here are my nails today. Two coats of No17 Pinking Shear and a coat of Essence Space Queen. My cuticles look awful because I have to keep washing my hands all the time at work.

I posted this in the nail swap group but if there's anyone here wants in on a new fb nails group just pm me there's some youtubers in there we are just trying to get going at the mo.

So these are my nails today. Looking at the pic I didn't do the most stellar job (unlike my previous effort with the nude shade and need to go over with the remover) but I found this one more difficult to work with, more 'wet' and then went tacky rather quickly love the colour though.

My Essie polishes were mislabelled (possibly why they were on sale for cheapsies) but I think I've got

They have a great selection of essie but they are nearly €13 each and the bottles are small

That's a flipping joke!! €13? They are £7.99 in the UK

My stash from last week - the 2 OPI on left were reduced in Sallys and the other 2 are FAKE
color clubs I got in Sallys also - Nails Inc online

How do you know the O.P.Is are fake? The bottles do look narrower?

Well I tested them, and the glitters came off really easily - which isn't the norm with OPI glitter polish.
I checked on some blogs online, the brush is different, as is the shape of bottle, lid and inside the lid - and the icons on the back of the bottle.

Where did you buy them from?

If you bought online and paid via PayPal you can claim the items not received or claim they are fake.

If you claim they are fake you might have to send them back to the company and pay the return postage yourself.

Personally, if they were sent via standard post and don't have a tracking number I would claim they didn't arrive and get a full refund.

I know it's dishonest and it's not a nice thing to do, but to be honest, I wouldn't want to pay the return postage.

Where did you buy the fakes? Not Sallys I hope?

I have a few from the Color CLub iked Sweet Collection, I found the best formula as the green one but in general was disapointed that they took ages to try. Not the best from Color Club.

I picked up Natural Collection Pink Maincure nail polish recently and love it.

It's a gorgeous, sheer baby pink and unlike most other baby/light pinks, it doesn't look white on my fingers.

Got it for €2.84, delighted with it. I have to say, Natural Collection polishes are well worth the small price tag, yes the bottle are small, but the quality of the polish is fantastic for what you get.

I also got their white nail polish for manicure tips, so hopefully will be able to do a french manicure with proper white tips soon. Just have to practise the white tips lol
