    I've bought mine from TK Maxx the last two years. Only €27! They're old but still plenty of pretty colours!

    TK Maxx has a great selection of nail polishes at the minute. Illamasqua, Nails Inc, OPI, China Glaze... I nearly picked up 10 of them haha. But in the end just got two Nails Inc ones - Uptown (a dusky pink) and Old Bond Street (a deep purple). Our WiFi is crap so can't post pics unfortunately, but they are lovely shades.

    I got a Red Carpet Manicure gel nail polish for Christmas (I have a UV Lamp already) and am thinking of investing in a few more bottles of gel polish with my Santa Money. :pac:

    Just wondering if anyone has experience of this brand or any particularly good ones? Particularly the longevity of the polish in the actual bottle, as well as on nails!

    I got a few bottles of Hairspray's own brand from a bargain bin a couple of years ago and they are still liquid and in perfect condition- my fear is investing a hundred quid in a few bottles of "good" polish and it's all a hardened lump within a few months. I've lost many a bottle of "normal" non-gel nail polish this way and don't want to spend €13 for a bottle of polish that cements itself after I've only had a couple of uses.

    Do you dilute it with nail varnish remover when it gets thick?

    I did- I have nail polish thinner too. I don't mind lashing a load of crap into an essence bottle and giving it a shake! But I'd rather avoid having to do that with pricey polish! :o

    I don't know about the gel polish, but for "ordinary " polish, even if it's expensive, use acetone. Remover has a lot of water in it. That's what clumps it...

    I am wearing essence 'dare' it's a bright fire engine red I love it for work with a suit.

    I've never had acrylics and am thinking of them. My nails keep breaking. Can anyone recommend a really good person in Dublin City centre? I will pay for the best! I'm a perfectionist when it comes to nails.

    Thanks

    I've been on the look out for a Rose Gold nail polish and the only one I could find was SOSU nail polish in Dream Big.
    http://www.sosu.ie/collections/nails/products/dream-big
    I have another polish from this brand and wasn't happy with it - I found that it chipped after a day. So with a discount from Cloud 10 and a few other things to get - I took a chance on this. I've been wearing it since Saturday evening and it still looks well. The colour is nice on, it's not flashy bling metallic, it's wearable. Also it hasn't chipped and I work in an office which puts my nail polis to the test.

    Anyone do their own gel polish at home? My gelish base & top coat are on their last legs and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a slightly cheaper brand? My gelish ones have gone very thick very quickly.

    I was looking up Blue Sky Polishes but I've found a lot of reviews saying people reacted to the polish with cuticle blisters :eek:

    Got these done today. Essie 2week.

    Does anyone find a difference between Essie and shellac? I find shellac has a better shine and less likely to chip. Essie almost feels slightly tacky to touch.

    I used a 2 in 1 base and top coat I got from Salon savers for a long time and found it great. Can't remember the name, but it was fairly cheap!
