How I wish I had any money at the moment! Was in Sallys on Drury St (Dublin) yesterday and they have half off some sets of OPI minis, including the set of muppets minis. <le sigh> If someone buys them will they give them a hug and tell them I love them?

Where is this place? Do I need an account to buy here? How much were they At half price? I wanna go.

I want to buy some of those A-England polishes. The colours are quite unusual compared to most ranges.

Topshop Heart of Gold perhaps? Could be a little too yellow though.

My stripey/polka dot nails

I used Miss sporty red tango,No7 white and stargazer black

the No.7 white is awful for any kind of nail art but it's grand for a base coat for designs

Love them! Price wise, are they more like Essie or ELF? I've never seen them in shops.

they are normally €2.79 a bottle. don't let that fool you though because they are the best quality polish you can find.

I got them in a little (i mean TINY ) chemist in galway. they have a good 20-30 different kinds and about 5-8 bottles of each colour. They are amazing altogether.

I just discovered a chemist in Maynooth today which sells Catrice, didn't think anywhere did. So that was a nice surprise.

Got this - Catrice Genius in the Bottle.



I bought 3 really pretty Essence polishes as well.

Passion for Fashion



Glamorous Life



and Viva La Green (this pic has the most accurate colour to it in real life).



I also got MaxFactor Fantasy Fire, but I won't post pix cuz everyone knows what it looks like by now

(Images all from google).

I have been buying these up and selling them on ebay for double the price. Sold 5 today! All going to America. As an actuary, you gotta love an arbitrage opportunity!

I picked up that same Electric Blue blasted color a couple months ago, absolute CRAP. Did not crackle at all (I accidentally bought it not realizing it was a crackle as well). Returned it as soon as I could. I'd check it first to make sure it does what it says so you'll be able to return it if it doesn't!

you can return polish? :eek: that's crazy! i thought it was allowed

Yeah, it's great, Sephora do returns on everything as far as I am aware. I didn't have any problem with returning the polish (I actually bought 2 crackles and both were pitiful). You could even return foundation if it wasn't what you expected, or like if your mascara dries out quickly, you could exchange it, etc. I think they just mark the makeup as used or something and dispose of it in some way.
