I am wearing that (as per above pic). Only thing is I am finding it is chipping REALLY easily. Lemme know how you get on wi it will ya?

Will do - I applied two coats over a base coat, but I forgot to add top coat, which I will do later tonight. This technique usually gets me about 5-7 days from a polish.

Jelly sandwich tutorial

How cool! Can see myself sitting at home later trying to slice some ultra-thin fimo and do a fruit jelly sandwich

@LizT The Angelica Hip Hop polish Dancingqueen mentioned is good & jellyish & only €2.75 in Penneys

It's fun to do - if you can find a blinking jelly polish - I saw Hip Hop here so went to get it to try the Sandwich and loved the glitter to much to cover it back up

I believe OPI Bubblebath is a jelly - or anything sheer like it, but not pearly. Essie, Nfu OH all have some and I believe that Zoya are bring out some new Jelly polishes soon.

Nails Inc did the Juicy Sheers too but they didn't do so well with them

I love jelly sandwiches! But I'm finding it really hard to find nail polishes with a jelly finish.

Essence have great polishes for it. I use all essence polishes for my one anyway http://cuti-clue-les.blogspot.ie/2012/04/polish-days-jelly-sandwich.html

I couldn't see any bottles of Blue Addicted on my travels, but I'll look around Maynooth for you tomorrow!

I'm not sure about the jelly polishes. I'd be panickin over them the whole time (cos I'm sad like that!) cos they'd never look set!

The essence ones dry so quickly you won't have to worry about them

For jelly sandwiches I've used the OPI Ballet ones before with pleasant results! Essie Marshmallow is also a common one.

I agree. I saw the Ballet Collection in a chemist and each (normal sized) bottles were E17.50, absolute rip off.

dudara

I think OPI is something like €12 in my local chemist. €17 is pulling the proverbial p*s

dancingqueen

they're 13.49 in Sallys and same in Clerys (at McCabes)

I am doing some US swaps now at the mo - so lots of COOL polishes coming my way
Brands I recommend looking up are Sation (on www.trandesign.com and www.cherryculture.com) Icing, Spoiled, Sinful Colors, Milani.

I am addicted. Seriously.

Spoiled and Sinful Colors have some great polishes for their price ($2! and they are sometimes on sale). Milani is also nice but I kind of think they are highly priced for a drugstore brand.
OPI is $6.80 on Trans Design.

I don't know why people pay these prices. Ebay is selling OPIs for $6 plus $4.50 shipping which is currently about e8.50. Seller is beautyzone2007. I buy all my high end stuff from ebay.

Speaking of Ebay, decided to get this OPI Germany collection polish called Every Day is Oktoberfest. Reminds me of Max Factor Fantasy Fire. Think it will be a nice colour for autumn winter.

I bought some of the Snow Whites today - will post up what shortly. I didn't get any of the 3 topper polishes and I am short 3 dwarves. Hope to get them soon

I'm in love with several shades from that collection. I definitely think I'll be indulging.

Sorry I'll grow up now.

I'm giving my nails a break from polishing and it's SO difficult! I am itching to cover my nails in glitter again!

Excuse me while I repaint my toenails for the fifth time this week...

atm I've got on Essence Nude it! (which I love! It's such a perfect shade of nude)



I think I'm going to cover them in OPI Rainbow Connection later though, I miss the sparkles.

Love this polish! It's one of my favourites

I keep finding half price Essence everywhere.... It's so hard to resist at less than a euro a bottle, so I didn't Bought five today

chickenbutt

OPI's Every Month is Oktoberfest is gorgeous!! I am *this* close to buying a back up bottle in case I lose/break/run out of my current one.

Currently I have on Deutsch You Want Me Baby and I love it more than I thought I would. Definitely much more vibrant and glowy than in the bottle.

hdowney

I sorted thru all my polishes yesterday (well the ones I could find, I know some have gone walkies somewhere ) and I don't have anywhere to store them. The Winnie the Pooh tin I use is full to the brim, as is a Bassets Allsorts tin I robbed off the mammy I need more space cos there is NOWAY I am NOT buying more polishes!

suomi

I'm wearing OPI's Pedal Faster Suzi! It's very sheer, I had to put on four or five coats (I lost count) and it's still not completely opaque. I love it though, it's so delicate!

I also realised how messy my nails are after I took the pictures. It's because the polish is so sheer, I swear.

If you want, tweet your pics today on Twitter using the #FridayPolish hashtag

A new Nails Inc polish - Old Park Lane. it's a lovely dusky metallic pink.

So... Delicate is all good but I got bored of it very quickly and decided to spice things up with Wet 'n Wild Night Prowl. :cool:
