    I started a gel nail course so exciting and I'm just getting a little "adventurous" in my practice. Watch this space.

    Hi! I just saw that when you spend £25 at nailsinc.com, you get a free nails inc for instyle polish called london sky (grey) and they have some gorgeous magnetic polishes at £13.

    Oh, and was in Sallys on Drury St earlier and they have China Glaze (including the triple packs) in a 3 for 2 offer.

    Happy shopping!

    Could this one be a good dupe for Rimmels Zeitgeist (discontinued:() but without the the greeny/gold?

    Both have a good shimmer.

    Woke up this morning with bed sheet imprints in my Black Cherries nail polish so obviously it didn't dry as quickly as I thought :(

    Anyway, perfect excuse to try another Rimmel polish I picked up and one the ladies on here have raved about, Sky High. I love the square brushes, makes tidy nail painting a doodle.

    Without and with flash

    Try a top coat. I have to, no matter how long I leave it to dry, or I end up with sheet imprints. So annoying.

    I can't use those square brushes. I don't know what's wrong with me. :o

    I got two cheap polishes recently that surprised me. One was an Essence dark pink glitter called Time for Romance. It looks absolutely amazing over a black polish. I'm kicking myself that I didn't take pictures. I wore it for three or four days (long for me) and kept staring at it the whole time.

    The other was a purple glitter (Goddess) from Angelica. I'm wearing it over a dark purple No. 7 polish I got with a voucher. It's a great glitter for the price. Really dense and pretty.

    Yay for the cheapies. :D

    I finally found a shop around here selling Catrice so I picked up some varnishes.

    I am wearing After Eight at the moment. I love this colour - it looks green in some lights and dark blue in others.

    http://www.catrice.eu/products/nails/nail-polish/detail/product/ultimate-nail-lacquer-600.html

    I also got I Wear My Sunglasses at Night which I was disappointed in.

    I had a top coat on, Nails Inc Caviar which is supposed to dry in 45 seconds. Oh well.

    Got two new polishes today, Barry M Purple Rain (crackle) and Dusky Mauve. I'm tempted to put the crackle over Sky High but I'm loving the colour so much I don't want to cover it up just yet.

    Is there a Boots in Galway? I saw it in Boots in Limerick the other day. It's their own brand "17".

    I went to boots today in Galway and they aren't getting in the magnetized nail varnish for another 2 weeks :( Any other suggestions??

    has anyone put nail wraps on themselves? I saw them for sale in chemists and hairspray


    nail wraps? what are they?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,069 ✭✭✭musical.x


    stickers for your nails basically. instead of painting them you just put these on. look like nail art and they are meant to last a week.
