I'd say the result I got from my bottle of Seche Vite are very similar to yours, except halfway through it's now gone very thick and gloopy and I've tried to thin it but I think you need to buy their own brand of thinner? Not sure, but it's not the same and it takes much longer to dry now
I bought a few more bottles of polish today. This addiction is getting out of hand. Must put a spending ban on now... but I'm really looking forward to the new OPI collections. The Spiderman one has a straight up dupe of Chanel's Peridot.0 -

in boots! that's crazy. Didn't think they would sell it.Michellenman wrote: »
I never buy it in boots though, it's like €16, you can get it on ebay for like €8 delivered.
I think it was maybe €13? The other Seche stuff is more expensive though. It was also on the 3 for 2 promotion over the weekend so I got two lip pen thingies too... happy out 0 -

I tried doing out a speadsheet of my collection and I got so lazy after the first 150! I really should do one out to save me having to root around much!
I do not envy you having to do this :eek: This could seriously kill your nail addiction
I have a little book and everytime i buy a new polish I write it in

I really should have just done this from the start! I do a lot of nailpolish swaps from all over the world and it's handy to just email each other your spreadsheet so you wont buy a polish the other already owns.
The Summer swaps will be happening soon so I may get a move on! We should hold a nailpolish swap soon on Boards that would be fun 0 -

How do you find these foil polishes? I like the gold looking one but swatches always turn out differently on people so I'm not sure if they are worth buying.0 -

I love how it goes on tbh! I normally put on two coats but its good to go in one really! Although mine came out a little streaky on 2/3 nails but I think thats more the awful way I applied it.
I couldnt really tell you how long it lasts before chipping though coz horse riding and muck and dirt see's my polish off much quicker than Id like

Essence have brought out these nifty double ended nail polish things:
(not my pic)
I picked up the pink one and the purple/white one yesterday, wearing the latter today. The purple is a bit dull for my taste but once you put the sparkly shade over it it's really pretty. They're a bit fecky to use as the brushes for both ends are in the middle bit, so when you're applying one end the other end is still attached to the brush, but it's a nice idea.0 -

Didn't have that trouble with my second bottle but then again I paint my nails every 2/3 days normally so I tend to use up the bottles fairly quickly. The one that REALLY annoys me is that the brush is way too short for the bottle so I end up trying to roll the bottle around to get the last of it or just giving up and buying a new bottle when there was still about 2/3rd of a centimetre left in the bottom.
Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure I keep mine extra tight! and oh I hate that short brush, too! It's so annoying!do any of ye have nail blogs? (aside from the people i have haunted already :P )
loads of ye could have amazing blogs ( of the top of my head: novella, suomi,chickenbutt,Orlee... hint hint nudge nudge :pac: )
I don't really blog, althought I've thought about it... Went for a tumblr recently instead and just uploaded pics of my hands haha thought it was a good inbetween.OakeyDokey wrote: »I really should have just done this from the start!

Got this amazing little O.P.I. set in Sally's in Limavady today for £6.75 because one of the bottles, alpine snow, was broken! They had the large O.P.I. bottles in clearance for £3.75 and they were stocking practically the entire range of China Glaze if anyone was looking

Well, as you can see, my polish ban is going splendidly. Over the last couple of weeks:
Top: Catrice "Salmon and Garfunkel", "Fred Said Red", "Pool Party at Night", "Iron Mermaiden" (have it already but it's discontinued & it was half price), NYC "Skin Tight Denim Creme", "Prince Street" & "Times Square" (€1 each at carapharmacy.com).
Bottom: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, Stargazer 138 & 133 (reminds me of Rimmel's Zeitgeist but I have to try it yet), Essence "Sure Azure", "Choose Me", "Break Through", "You Belong to Me" (dupe for China Glaze For Audrey), and "Sweet As Candy."
I also got Rimmel's Disco Ball but forgot to take a pic, don't know how to resize images so here's a link: http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m514/Cherrypie_13/RimmelLastingFinishNailPolishinDiscoBall.jpg
And Nails Inc Topcoat in Electric Lane that I posted a few pages back (I think).
Also waiting on Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, Barry M Croc Effect, a Nail Swap package from the UK, and a place in Polish Rehab.
I have a serious problem.0 -

I know it's awful :P I actually hide my stash now just so people don't know
I would love to see some swatches!
We seriously need a boards swap :P I can get catrice..(and i might even share them :P )0 -

YES! If it's okay with the mods how about a Summer swap in and around June? We can use some online generator to match people together and then PM people for details: Spreadsheets, addresses etc. We can have a budget of what to spend on each other and if anyone wants to go over it then that's their choice.
What does everyone think? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself 0 -

I see your polish clear out has made you super anxious to get more
I would be up for that! It could be great fun and we could all get polishes that aren't readily available in our county. I think we should all have the same budget just so it's fair on everyone and nobody feels left out because of their finacial situation 0 -
