If anybody spots the snow white essence range in Dublin could they post the location, Im dying to get my hands on some!!!

Does anybody have a remover recommendation? The one im using at the mo is ruining my nails. I have tried the Mavala one and loved it but i cant find it anywhere.

I hear ya on the polish remover thing. I use one from boots. I can't remember the name but it's the acetone free one and it has a sponge inside so you just kinda dip your finger in and it removes the polish.

Any of the boots acetone free stuff has worked really well for me. Hope that helps

I am done with glitter nail varnish! I actually cannot deal with taking .

not sure if you've tried it but for taking off glitters I just put nail polish remover on a make up pad, place it over the nail and wrap in tin foil. Wait ten mins and the glitter comes right off. Works wonders and it's a ten min job without the normal scrubbing:)

I will give it a try next time I'm brave enough to put on some glitter! :pac: Thanks

Went a bit mad today Got all these in a pharmacy in the Midlands


Catrice - My Cafe Au Lait at Notre-Dame


Catrice - It's Rambo No.5


Catrice -Meet me at Coral Island


Essence Special Effect Topper - Night in Vegas


Essence Special Effect Topper - Hello Holo


Essence So Fruity (Kiwi)


Essence Choose Me!


Essence Circus Circus Cotton Candy


Rimmel - Azure


Rimmel - Oyster Pink


Bourjois So Laque! Bleu Violet


Tried the Bourjois one already, I only bought it because I wanted to try Bourjois nail polishes and it was half price. Not impressed. It's very gloopy and needs a few coats for it to look half decent and takes ages to dry.

Definitely do. There's some amazing indie glitter polishes around. Shame not to try them the essense snow white topper in purple looks amazing too, it's on my list:)

Unless you're willing to spend a fortune don't go to the penneys in Galway. I bought TWENTY polishes. It's a good job they're only a couple of euro each I shall have to post my haul soon.

I took off the Essence coperize me topper the other night - used the foil method, wasn't budging otherwise.

I need to get me some decent remover - am stuck using the smelly essence one at the moment.

Sally Hansen FB page just posted that the Gem Crush polishes are going to start being sold here very soon! Can't wait, they're all so pretty

Also, I NEED that purple Essence Snow White polish.

I use this for ages everytime I wear glitter polish and it works so well! No more annoying scrubing!

OMG that essence stuff stinks. My niece had it and was using it in my sitting room at the weekend. stunk up the room for ages and gave us all headaches!!

If you want a good nail polish remover you should try Sally Hansen Acetone Free Polish Remover. I honestly swear by it. Two cotton pads with this stuff will remove every last bit! here's what it looks like: http://images.letsbuyit.co.uk/original/31/45/sally-hansen-acetone-free-nail-polish-remover-10374531.jpeg

I actually couldn't believe the price! €13.95 I think it was? Madness, considering they're like $8 in every second pharmacy in the US! The prices in your link are great, damn you!

OakeyDokey

Cloud10Beauty have a great points system. You can use up to 1500 points in one transactions so you'll get a decent polish out of it. I'm currently saving mine up for one of the Nicole by OPI's.

Dark Phoenix

My first ever china glaze polish arrived today I bought it on eBay. It's 'towel boy toy' and the most awesome cookie monster blue! can't wait to swatch this bad boy.

Will be heading to chemist tomorrow in search of snow white glitter polishes I have to have the blue and purple -

Trying to buy Barry m from ASOS but they have the wrong names for the purple Has any one bought them from asos?

ASOS are great for polish, I got all of my Barry M's there bar two. They do come by post, usually in a box and I've had to sign for all my ASOS orders so far. Love that they're free delivery and take laser.

Boots have BRILLIANT nail remover pads, one pad even got rid of three coats of thick glitter polish, I can't remember the name but they're Boots own brand and they're in a black pot with a white label. I'm using the Essence one at the minute and I have to use it outside!


I need that goddang snow white stuff! NOW! Out of 3 Essence stands, one has the fruity thing with no stock left on it, one still has marble mania, and one has a mish-mash of marble stuff and leftover circus stuff (not polish, boo).

I found an Irish link for anyone who likes Butter London - almost lost the run of myself and ordered one today but I'm not paying 15quid for a brand I'm not familiar with. Really liked the look of All Hail the Queen but think I've an Essence dupe, and also loved Knackered but I think the Barry M silvery lilac I got on ASOS is pretty similar judging by google.

Here's the site for anyone who is lusting after a BL: http://www.beautymatters.ie/lacquers-c-22_56.html?page=4&sort=5a

Lots of Barry M and Rimmel under e3 on ASOS at the minute, and with the price of Essence & Catrice e15 just seems mental. The only reason I got the nOPI polish on Littlewoods was because Mum was placing an order and had a discount to use, so it wasn't too bad.

Dark Phoenix

I have butter London all hail the queen and it's not worth the money in my opinion. Beautiful colour but it was Wearing off the tips of my nails after a day (even with my normal too coat) so I didn't think that good enough for the price

I'm with you on the snow white toppers I will let you know if I find any!!

OakeyDokey

Going to do some window shopping tomorrow for the nailpolish swap! I'm stupidly excited about this. Also browsing the web for some other ideas I'm going to do a bit of late night nail design so watch this space

Seren_

oh I love All Hail the Queen! It's a shame the holo glitter doesn't really show up unless it's quite bright though. beautymatters.ie is a good site - ordered most of my BL polishes from there and it pretty much always arrived the next day

I want that Red Black Barry M polish so much! Been wanting Chanel Rouge Noir for ages, but if the Barry M is a dupe than it's a no brainer which one to get
