Love this thread! so many polishes I want to try form reading this!
Bought 2 polishes last week

OPI - holland Collections - Gouda Gouda two shoes. Love the colour.


OPI - Holland Collection - I dont give a Rotterdam. A little but disappointed with this one, more grey than I would have liked.


Bought these 2 in asos sale, waiting on them to be delivered.

They have them in the Penneys in Eyre Square in Galway if that's any use? Haven't seen them anywhere around Dublin yet.

Bought these at TK Maxx, 7 polishes for 9.99. Fairly good quality especially if you use the topcoat. They also have them in a metallics collection and a nudes collection.

I wouldn't recommend the essence stampy set at all. The scraper they provide doesn't work properly, I wish I had read some reviews before I bought it

Right now I have on ULTA Twilight from their pro line... I know Ulta is only in the US (and Canada?) but I'm telling you guys, it's awesome. I recommend it in addition to Sephora for makeup shopping if anyone is on holiday here.

I have bought so much nail polish in recent weeks, I'm actually embarrassed to tell anyone about it.

I have this swatched over both dark and light colours on my nail wheels (ultimate nail nerd!) and it works fab over both....
The problem is that you want all these kinds of glitter topcoats, and they're all similar but not quite the same.

lol, I've got 3 different gold glitter toppers because the glitter is of varying sizes :pac: sometimes you need smaller flakes >_>

I've been wearing lots of purple lately. So here's a picture of a stripey manicure I did the other day, and a picture of what my nails look like today. Sorry about the blurryness, my camera wouldn't focus in the dark.

From the lightest to darkest: 17 Pinking Shear, Mavala Frozen Berry, Models Own Purple Imperial



Here the purple is Mavala Frozen Berry and the crackle polish is Models Own.

I love the stripey manicure! Must try that myself.

Thanks! I recommend using tape or samething to paint the stripes, I didn't and mine were a bit wobbly.

I bought my first stamping kit today (some 'as seen on tv' thing called salon express) at Sally's for $10. I love some of the stamping designs I see on blogs, and I am so not artistically inclined that I thought I'd give it a go.. Love how easy it is! But I don't think my polishes are the best for stamping so will need to do some research on the better ones.

Doing my best attempt at ombre/balayage/gradient nails ATM, not turning out how I hoped

Hey all!

Anyone know where you can buy the essence special effect toppers and the nail care stuff in Dublin?

Valentina

Wearing this now - Revlon Facets of Fuchsia. It's quite a good dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance too.
