    Coral & Konad bows on right hand, Khaki & Konad bows on left. Can't wait till I'm able to stamp my right hand in a non-wonky fashion

    Gorgeous colours, love the designs.

    What Khaki polish was it? I adore Khaki, and only have one Khaki-ish polish, I need more :D

    Where did you get the bow stamper? I must have it, it's too cute not to have :D

    Putting on Essie Watermelon now, haven't worn it for ages, forgot how much I love the colour.

    Had to take off Essie's Watermelon after what happened, which I still cannot figure out, so now I'm putting on Nails Inc Shoreditch - hopefully the same thing won't happen again.

    Here are two photos of my nails from today, has anyone any idea what might have gone wrong to make the polish change colour?

    You can kinda see the purple-ish colour Watermelon kinda turned into.

    Did the colour in the bottle separate? That happened to a bottle of Nails Inc polish I had. I think Seche Restore is meant to fix it, but I don't know for certain!

    Also re: khaki polishes Rimmel do one in their Pro line called Camouflage Chic (I think), and Essie Sew Psyched is a similar colour.

    I have no idea if that colour separated in the bottle to be honest, I gave the bottle a good shake (as I do with every polish before I apply it) and it went on OK, it was only this morning that it changed colour, I didn't notice it before this morning anyway and I would have notice it.

    Neither my local Boots or Dunnes have that Rimmel colour, at least, I've never seen it, I'll have to have another look.

    I think that is Catrice Mermaiden rather than Wear My Sunglasses at Night. I was rather disappointed with WMSAN I have to say.

    Yeah I'm wearing IWMSAN at the moment and it's grand but you might as well be wearing plain black really, it doesn't have half the sparkle on that it has in the bottle.

    That's it - I might break it out again and layer more sparkle over it. OK as a black but I bought it for the way it looked in the bottle.


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


    yeh i didn't mind either way as i needed a black but it is really odd that the glitter doesn't translate on the nail at all. i really only got it becasue they are discontinuing it from their line :o

    Picked up a few Catrice polishes today as well after seeing this post! 4 for €6 :)

    Managed to get my paws on a nail polish rack recently .... other than the fact it says Nails Polish Centre I'm absolutely loving it!

    is it bad that i'm really happy you bought them because of my post? ::o

    i love the rack! the only thing i worry about when buying racks is the way sunlight affects the polish so i have to keep mine in a wardrobe :(

    I know, I'm the same. I have it on a wall beside the window so there'll be very little direct sunlight so fingers crossed it might be ok!

    Where did it come from?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,595 ✭✭✭The Lovely Muffin


    I had my Essie Watermelon sitting on the kitchen window for about a week, in direct daylight/sunlight, I wonder is that what happened to it when it went purple-ish? If so, is there any way to fix it, or is it totally ruined?

    Wearing Essie Sexy Divide now :) One of my fave colours :)

    I picked this up in Boots the other day, I just love the colour, the effect reminds me of Tiger eye gem stones
    I'm looking forward to showing it off at work tomorrow

    If its not on sale in a Boots near you just ask at the counter they just might have it in stock but have no room on the shelf, thats how I got mine :)

    i'd be fairly sure that the sunlight caused it to separate muffin. i don't know if there is a way to fix it (never had the problem myself). maybe try adding nail polish remover (2-3 drops) but other than that t could be ruined :(

    Is nail polish remover OK to use in polishes? I read somewhere recently that it's bad for the polish and bad for the nails?

    Someone here mentioned Seche Repair I think, might look it up and see if it's any good, if it is, I might get it and try it.

    That'll teach me not to leave polish on the window in future :( One of my favourites ruined :(

    People use nail polish remover but it's really not the best way to revive nail polishes. You'll want to use a nail polish thinner which you can find at a place like Sally's Beauty Supply. I don't think it costs too much, plus you only use a few drops at a time so a bottle should last quite awhile. I think Seche Repair is specifically for Seche polishes, but I could be wrong on that (although nothing stopping you from using it in whatever you want). Although, that's going to be more expensive.

    Edit: This is what I have from Sally's
