    This is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was it expensive?
    Thank you :)

    A friend picked it up in New York and it worked out around €14 euros, as far as I know, Estée Lauder polishes are €17-€30 to purchase here in Ireland (hence why I got mine in the USA!). This one is limited edition so I'd say it's closer to €30.

    Debenhams and Brown Thomas all sell it, don't know about anywhere else in Ireland.

    Harrods sell it but delivery to Ireland is £20 :eek:

    Christmas day nails!

    Topshop gold and Essence black. The Essence was rubbish! Chipped off really quickly.

    Love the gold and black, looks lovely, never tried it before, may try it.

    Also where is your ring from? It's gorgeous!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,715 Mod ✭✭✭✭Twee.


    I went with all black for the day so thought the gold added colour, and wore some gold jewelery. The ring is from Forever 21 as far as I know, got it from a pal as a gift!

    I went to B&Q today and picked up a toolbox to store all my polishes and manicure stuff. It's on wheels so it's pretty nifty :)

    Sallys on Drury St in Dublin has some half price China Glaze & OPI if anyone is looking, all their Christmas sets are half price & some bottles (mainly the Christmas Colours). Off course I didn't actually buy anything because the lady working there (The infamous 'have you got a trade card' lady) followed me down to the bottom of the shop & stood 2 ft away from me the whole time I was in there lest I fill my pockets & run clinking from the shop but it might be worth a goo if you were after any polishes :)

    I am SO impressed with how lovely and organised everything looks! My bathroom looks like an explosion of cosmetics, I think I need to copy your idea. :)

    Got two varnishes from the new OPI/Nicki Minaj collection. Pink Friday and Metallic 4 Life (the pink one and the black one second from left). I love Nicki Minaj!

    Thank you! That box was €22 or €23 and fits everything including my UV lamp, pillow and finger baths. I've seen Biosculpture trolleys for over €100 plus delivery! :eek:

    Picked up 2 China Glaze polishes reduced in Sally's

    Chiristmas edition from the Let It Snow collection - Holly-Day (photo from the Polished Perfectionist blog). Lovely dark green (like Racing Green) with a nice glossy finish

    Another green shade Cha Cha Cha (from the Summer collection Island Escape), photo from the Temptalia Blog. It looks bright with a golden shimmer.
