I'm just fussy, and they seem to fussy for me. How easy are they to put on, like do you just dip your slightly tacky nail into the pot (like an ice-cream into sprinkles) or is it more one by one tediousness!!!

no it's way way easier than that. you paint your nail with two coats, then you get a tray and funnel with the set, you just pour the bottle over you nails, the tray catches the beads and then you funnel them back into the bottle.

Flower nails! Blue is Rimmel Sky High (looks darker in real life), yellow is Rimmel Sunshine and the pink is some no-name mini-nailpolish I got in a make up set!

I bought Orly's Country Club Khaki on ebay recently, it hasn't arrived yet though. I was looking for it for a while after seeing it on a blog.

Looks like it should be a nice mushroomy taupe colour

I had been wearing Essence Snow White in Happy but it's a lot more mustard-coloured on the nails than the bright yellow I was expecting so I don't like it as much as I thought I would. Today it's Bashful, I just put on one coat because I was running late for work and I'm really happy with the coverage.

I've been wearing nail polish non-stop for the past couple of months and on Friday I thought I'd take a few days break and removed my nail polish and haven't painted them since. Seeing my nails without nail polish is so strange, I actually keep staring at them and admiring them the same way I'd admire them when I'm wearing a pretty nail polish. They look so weird.

Got my nail polish swap from the lovely chickenbutt and I'm so excited to now have Orly Rage in my collection (along with my other new polishes:D ) So as soon as the postman was gone I got to painting straight away:)

I know I can't wait for my polishes. I am so looking forward to see what was chosen for me and to see what she thinks of what I chose

I also ordered some Opi from transdesign but don't have time to take pics now.

chickenbutt

@DuvetCover, awesome haul! I just placed an order with nailsupplies.us this morning lol It's good know to someone else has use them and had a good experience. I normally use transdesign but when I went to order some I noticed it was down, so I decided to try nailsupplies. Anyway! TD and nailsupplies are the same company, I noticed. No idea why they have 2 sites, but you're right, TD has OPI.

Ok so parcel pick-up arranged for tomorrow Squee

Thanks

Yeah, like Orlee said I'm in the US so I wouldn't know about that, sorry. I have heard shipping with Trans Design can be high for overseas. But I think you can do a mock checkout to see what it could be without going through with it.

Great minds think alike!! I have ordered from nail supplies before so was happy to use them again. Yeah it's a bit odd that they are they same company but only TD sell Opi.. Oh well it just meant I had to place 2 orders! I have placed myself on a two month nail polish buying ban now so I'm looking forward to seeing your haul!

Hey!

Shipping to Ireland was $23 for 9 polishes. They filled the customs form as a gift so I have not got caught yet!

Orlee

According to nailsupplies.us it'll cost me $100 to ship 1 polish?
What am I doing wrong?!

I think maybe the more you order, the cheaper shipping gets?

Has anyone seen Colour Club polishes around Dublin? I saw Lyndar the Merciless had a blog post saying they were now in selected pharmacies in Ireland but no sign of them round my neck of the woods!

Ivenus

To me this seems expensive - you can post up to 4lbs from US for $16.95 - I've had it done 1lb = 454g so, that is a fair few bottles of polish. I do not see how it would be $38. A friend posted to me, about 20 bottles and it only cost $16.95. As far as I know, there is a box and a padded envelope - mine came in a padded envelope.

Valentina, I've seen their magnetics in random places, but not a fan of magnetics! They are often in sets of 7 in TK Maxx for €9.99

Re: eightyeightbeauty delivery costs
It is a little expensive alright especially as the exchange rate isn't good at the moment.
It works out at about €5.80 per bottle of Orly polish ( if u get 6 bottles). I'm not sure if that is a good price?
Anyone know of other websites where I can get Orly polish??

As per this blog - Color Club is in the Merrion Centre... know where I'm going on Friday
