I had some money put away for a little treat for myself since I'll be off the cigarettes 10 weeks on Monday, so I topped up my O2 card and got some bits n bobs - including 12 Kleancolor polishes for around 30 euro including postage on eBay here - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/230720858203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 - there are listings for 3 or 6, and they have a heart polish like that OPI. Paese also do a heart one.

Also got China Glaze 'It's Alive' from Amazon.com for 6.80 including postage, and placed an order with nailsupplies.us. For 9 bottles of China Glaze & Barielle it was 44 euro including postage. I think it's fab value!

I love ASOS for polish, I always get my Barry Ms there.

Oh my god the polishes. Painting nails as I type. Stand by for pics

Forgot to put in a picture of todays nails, it's for a challenge, this is my 3rd or 4th attempt at stamping and I love it! I did the dots with a white nail art pen from eBay and the base is Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream.

Ok so my nails are done. Bear with me.

My right hand is painted in the colours of the Olympic Rings.
The colours are (from thumb to baby finger):
Essence Colour Addict in Blue Crush
Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in Sunshine
Astor in Diamant Sensation
Essence Colour & Go in Party On
Essence Colour & Go in Ready for Action

I was looking at Atlantis and Riveting too today! Do you know if there are any extra charges when you order nail polish from USA?

If your order is for €22 euros or less including postage you shouldn't incur any extra charges, but if it is over €22 euros you could be caught for customs.

I think customs charges a about an extra 21.5%, although I could be wrong about that.

Anything I have ever bought from eBay that was posted from the USA always arrived within 3-4 working days. I would say I'd have these polishes by next Thursday, due to the bank holiday, although I could be wrong and there could be longer delays.

With that seller I bought from (BeautyZone2007) they have always provided a tracking number so I could keep track of my items and knew where they were and when to expect them etc.

Oh great, thanks so much for the info! I bought some nail polishes and nail art a couple of days ago and one of them was from USA, but it only cost about €10. I'll have to remember that €22 limit next time!

Going by this, there are no duty charges on Nail Polish but it has a VAT rate of 23%. I put in all the details of mine and it says potentially there could be a customs charge of 9.20 euro on my nailsupplies order. I don't mind, it's still working out at around 6 euro per China Glaze and Barielle even with shipping and customs included. That's cheaper than GOSH or OPI and they're all hard-to-find in Ireland! (the justification of an addict, wha)

Guys I was in TK Maxx in Cork today. Loads of Nails Inc,Essie, OPI, Nicole by OPI, Barielle and Colour Club. They also had Rimmel and Revlon sets too! I didn't buy any colours(go my restraint) but I got an Essie Grow Rocher Growth Treatment for €5.99 I haven't heard many reviews so hopefully its good!

Picked up these in Claires yesterday.

Also picked up this gold, which turned out to be a foil polish, I don't like it at all, so might just use it on my toes.

Can't find a picture of the gold, only the silver, but they are the exact same, except for the colour obviously.

Wearing Essence Fruity in Banana today, it's a really nice pale yellow shade.

Nailsupplies declare it as a gift with a value of $4.95 so u shouldn't get caught for customs! I have ordered from them 3 times and never been caught

To find the Opi polishes on transdesign you have to type opi into the search box!

Purchased a second set of the Serena Williams Grand Slam polishes - this time the US edition (€12.99 in TK Maxx). The red is more metallic/glitter in real life than it appears in the picture.

I ordered some French manicure stickers from eBay and played around with them today. I'm wearing Models Own Purple Imperial and for the pink lines I used a terrible, lumpy nail art pen which is why the lines are all wobbly. Oh well.

Luno

Terrible picture quality and my nails have to be kept short (play instruments) but I'm having Olympics fever

Orlee

Got these 3 in TK Maxx Carrickmines yesterday for €9.99. They had lots of Nails Inc, OPI, Essie, Revlon, Rimmel and Nicole by OPI - the were all up by the till so I nearly missed them :eek:
