Not everyone has access to the nail polish group though.

I will PM those of you now who are looking for the link.

Where did you buy the essence stuff? I cant find any of the good stuff all they have in my nearest essence stockist is the marble mania rubbish. I really want to try all their nail art stuff.

I got them all in Penneys in Galway, they have a massive Essence stall about twice the size of the stall in the usual chemist I go to.

Oh no I was hoping that it would be somewhere near me

I must try get my hands on a bottle. It's a really nice shade. I normally use nails inc basil street but the essence one seems a bit more white based which is good. Did you need many coats?

magztar

For the photos just the 2 coats but even with 1 coat was grand if you didnt want it toi be too strong,even could use it for french with 1 coat!

Angel8ie

Cool, thanks. I like the way it looks with the 2 coats

Is there anywhere in Dublin city centre with a large essence or Catrice stand? Beside Penneys?

I just dabbed on some polish with the brush. It doesn't matter if it's irregular and then I just used a liquid eyeliner to draw 3 semi circular lines around them. It was so easy, definitely give it a go:)

This weeks nails - Isadora Black Galaxy. I was in a hurry so the pic isn't great.

Oh and make sure to wait a bit until the eyeliner is completely dry and add a top coat. Also I realise you can use nail art pens and brushes for the black details but I just find the brush on the eyeliner to be perfect for leopard print. I use nail art pens for most other things

Also wondering about this! I keep seeing all these amazing Essence topcoats but I never see them in any shops! Do some places just not update their stands very often?

The stands should be updated monthly (with the new Limited Edition stuff) My local chemist has both Essence & Catrice and it's done monthly usually but sometimes a delay. Penneys in Dublin is ridiculous - they don't have what Galway or Cork has and I don't get it

Galway doesn't update all that often. The essence and catrice stand are brand new to pennys. We had essence before but only the polish. They also have rimmel and NYc polish (I think its nyc anyway :P )
