    Wow, 15! I just bought two recently - Wild Moss and Thistle Thicket.

    Here's a recent one on my nails - Essie's Blossom Dandy. The white is OPI Alpine Snow and the gold is China Glaze's I'm Not Lion

    they are gorgeous Pythia! Love the accent nail! I have to force myself to paint my nails recently. The sheer volume that I have is stressing me out so I'm trying to work through some to see whether to keep them or get rid. This is definitely going on my keepers list. It's Moment of Impact by Emily de Molly and it's fab!

    Can anyone recommend a good nail strengthener? My nails are in bits lately and anytime I paint them, they polish doesn't last 24hours without chipping, whereas I would have gotten a few days without chipping (mostly) before.

    Really don't know what to try or where to start looking so would love a few recommendations.

    Thanks :)

    What product though? There are quite a few and I'm at a loss as to what to try.

    I use the maximum growth as my base coat always and the insta dry as my top coat.

    I'd really recommend OPI Nail Envy. Outs expensive though so if you can't afford that Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle. It's the one in the gold bottle.

    Omg, absolutely beautiful nails PandaPoo! What glitter polish did you use?

    I went back to an old fave today, OPI Sparrow Me The Drama. It was part of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection that came out in 2011. Can't believe it was that long ago!!

    I'm not a Leighton Denny fan, have tried 2 (one was I Love Juicy, a pale coral which I got free with a magazine, the other was a red one I bought and didn't like anything about) and found them rather thick yet streaky, so that it's hard to apply without ending up with visible ridges on the nails. I also found they chipped very quickly, as in within hours of drying. The finish of one of them was odd too, I think it was intended as a satin finish but it was kind of... neither here nor there, if that makes any sense! Not great considering it's in the same price bracket as the likes of OPI.
    I'm interested in the idea of the Sally Hansen gels but haven't seen a colour I like enough to buy so far, will be interested to see what people think of them.

    OPI you get in Hennessy's in town down the side street from GPO or Salon Services in Kinsale Roundabout

    Just bought the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel - 240B Girl Shade.
    Easy to apply, which is good for me as I am not great at applying it. And looks great. Don't know how long it will last as its the first time I've tried it.
    I did use 3 coats instead of the 2 recommended.

    Have used Catrice myself it does chip I usually put on 3 coats and then top coat I find if the top coats a good brand the nail varnish lasts longer but I only get about 3 days out of Catrice though

    Got a lovely polish at the weekend: Catrice - It's Time for Lovender. Put it on Sat night for a Communion yesterday - was stuck for time so just put one coat of polish on, no base or top coat and look at the state of it this morning! Very disappointed as it's a lovely colour.
