    [Embedded Image Removed]
    trying to grow my nails a bit and this helps to stop me biting them :p
    only paid 1.95 or something for it with the boots voucher. would not pay the full price! its grand as a polish but it takes ages to dry :mad: the brush is pretty crap but its not the worst in the world.

    I posted earlier that I don't understand shatter nail polishes, but I tried the Barry M one in Boots the other day and now I love them! I'm picking some up next week :pac:

    I'll probably be posting some pics of my sad, stubby nails earlier because I got a gorgeous grey polish yesterday and I really want to show it off
    :D polish always makes them look nicer! plus we wont judge you :) and now we all want to see the grey :pac:

    Ok Here is my collection.....not organsied by colour ok......
    ry%3D400
    I counted for the first time how many I have.....65!! with so many different reds...have to stop buying reds. also this includes top coats etc....
    For ages I was researching a way to display my nailpolishes in a way that was tidy and that I could see them for choosing a colour. I kept them in boxes which
    was useless untill I bought a packet of 4 crossants in Tesco.....yes crossants and the container the crossants came in is the black container on the left which I am using now and it works a treat. Polishes lie down at an angle and I can get about 40 polishes in one container. I need another one!

    ry%3D400
    This is a plastic basket I got in aldi (3 for €1.50, I think) and I store the remainder of my polishes in it, nail polish remover, hand cream etc, and a little tub from Lush for all my nail files!!

    ry%3D400
    This is my every day nail polish bag, I like to paint my nails infront of the tv but my other half goes nuts seeing bottles and bits lying about so I keep nail files, cutile cutters, polish remover pads, stickers and my top, base coats, my fast freeze quick dry (great product) and my polish of my choice. I also use this little bag (isa dora makeup bag. got it free with something) when traveling!:)
    ry%3D400
    My all time favouite products above plus any french manicure polishes: China glaze fast freeze quick dry. For day Essence in 66 most wanted, for summer toes nails inc in china town, for winter opi in Lincoln park after dark (my all time fav ) and for going out Kiko in 266 (hate it when they dont name the polish!!:mad:)

    ry%3D400
    Polish I hate (but cant throw out any polish)

    My best tip if your polish is getting thick with age, use a drop of nail polish remover in the polish bottle, give it a good shake and bobs your uncle

    I would really like you to... But I think you shouldn't 'cause I have got to stop buying things! :pac: And the next thing I need to buy is that UD Naked Palette! This whole forum is just bad news for me financially!

    This was two coats, so it's quite sheer, and was a bit streaky with just one coat. I like it though, neutral enough, but still pink!

    I found it in Boots with a clearance sticker on it, I got it for 1.50! Love it!
    It needs two coats though, the first coat is SO watery and thin.

    I got a misguided nail varnish in Cosmo back in October. It was a gorgeous black colour with a nice gold sheen to it! :) Lovely big bottle too....I kind of want the colours now....but cosmo is ssoooooo expensive!
