    Konad lady came in today for a demo! Unfortunately, I was working so I ended up smudging some of them. As a result, I only took a photo of three nails :P

    Base is Rimmel Lycra Pro in Peppermint. The stamp colour is a Konad pink, but I cant remember the exact shade. The image plate is m56 for the bow, but I cant remember where the flower was from.

    That looks a lot like Catrice Heavy Metallilac but shinier :D

    Uggghhh does anyone else think ELF nail polishes are awful? I bought five or six of them recently and they all take ages to dry and when they do dry, the colour is a bit dull and usually streaky as well. I know they're very cheap but still, I'm a bit disappointed. :p

    I can't find pics of that Catrice polish :(

    The NYC polish isn't the same Purple colour as in her pic (well, not on me anyway), I don't know how it's that purple in the pic, unless she used a good few coats or purple base coat or something or even the lightening.

    I bought a french manicure set from them before, haven't bought another polish from them since, the polishes in the set were awful quality. Watery, sheer, streaky, took forever to dry.

    I wouldn't use ELF polishes again if I was given them for free.

    Yeah I definitely won't be bying them again. Though I do like the matte top coat and actually, one of the nail polishes I bought is apparently a "new improved formula", I'll have to try that one out and see if it is any better.

    Just saw on the Catrice website there's none of the million styles topcoats available in Dublin :(


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


    What are these Catrice million style polishes?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18 Versatile Fashionista


    Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, a little kit that comes with two polishes ('French white tip' and 'Sheerly opal') and nail guides. I didn't use the nail guides however.

    Was in TJ Maxx today (same thing as TK Maxx but in the US) and picked up these collections for $8 each. So, I'm pretty happy with my finds, think they're great bargains.. And I'm loving these mini sets!

    Tried stamping by myself this evening! It does take a bit of practice. The colour on my nails looks a little brown, but that's just the light (maybe I should take the photos in the daytime as opposed to the middle of the night :P ). It's actually an old Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine in Peaches and Cream (840). Plates were M56 for the tips, and M4 for the flower.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭Orlee

    Has anyone been using the magnetic nail-polish?
    I tried the Barry M one in Boots and didn't understand how it's meant to work- it just looked like normal polish.. I'm obviously doing something wrong. :o
