nail polish thread :) *Do Not Quote Pics!*

I wouldn't pay Irish prices for Essie. It's good but nothing special and can be quite streaky.

Ooh streaky isn't nice. Hmm I guess I may go in and see what they are thinking of charging and going from there. Thanks for the heads up!

TK Maxx are stocking buckets of Essie right now, alright selection and prices are good.

I've noticed that some of the sales assistants are switching the OPI around in the packets in my local one. You think you're getting three full sized OPI polishes for 15 quid but one is usually switched to a W7 polish. I always have a good root and walk away with some real gems

I noticed that in my local TK Maxx too - Essie ones switched too, usually two of the same colour in the same packet. I have never tried Essie - mostly because of the bad reviews I have heard of it.

I got an A in my first essay since being back in college so I think I'll treat myself to some nail goodies tomorrow:)

So my Avon delivery came today. I'd forgotten what I'd ordered! But amongst the order were these two lovelies (I really need to stop buying purple and blue [always been my fave colours] and buy other colours!)

Avon Colour Trend Suede Nail Enamel in Blue Royale (not my photo):



Avon Colour Trend Nail Enamel in Very Violet (not my photo):

Twee.

Have seen bad sets in TK Maxx too, three of the exact same colour Essie in a packet!

Jeez, I love essie. I painted my nails on Sunday and they are still perfect today, despite loads of typing. Not even a little tip wear.

Valentina

Wearing this now. Not my photo as camera is on the outs. OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark. Unfortunately I have 3 chips already after only 24 hours wear

Here are my accidental Christmas nails I'm wearing Isadora Ancient Ruby, Models Own Scarlett Sparkle and OPI Man With The Golden Gun. I only realised how Christmassy it looks afterwards.

newbie to the thread was feeling bored so decided to join in cheap & cheerful Essence modern romance!

Oh folks....I have been so so bad, I bought four polishes today, two Sally Hensen and two Essence ones, to add to my collection which is just getting out of hand now! And I really want to stop off into TK Maxx tomorrow perhaps to get an OPI set or Nails Inc - don't really need it though!! Tell me they are over-rated!

VanillaLime

Hello! New to this thread and have been enjoying seeing what you're all wearing! This is one I wore recently, Catrice Up In The Air. Hope the picture works!!
Edited to add - sorry the pic is huge - I can't figure out how to resize since Photobucket changed!!

Loving the mermaid braid!

Picked up an Essie in TK Maxx clearance for €3 yesterday, and was well chuffed. NOT SO chuffed however this morning, with an email from eBay seller telling me the "last one is leaking and would I like to choose another" on my order of China Glaze Immortal.
Meh.

Happy Endings


I've wanted happy endings for ages and these are my first indies!

MissFlitworth

Hmmmm. If a package was shipped from the States yesterday around lunch our time what are the chances of it arriving with Mr Postman in this mornings post? I'm assuming the power of me wishing really, really hard that I had it will help it along? Does nail polish get shipped on a special flight?

OakeyDokey

Feeling like this today...

I think that would be very wishful thinking! I think I usually average about 5 days on most of mine..

Noooo, don't be silly, there's definitely a secret concorde still in action solely to transport nail polish across the Atlantic. I'm sure the postman will be rocking up to my desk tomorrow with it. Definitely. <twitch>

Oh my God, that's freaky! Long toe nails are just disgusting to me. How could that person even walk properly?

My dodgy attempt at xmas nails. I'm on the left and was trying to copy the pic on the right. I really need a nail pen rather than the feather tip, my snowflakes are all over the place lol. Also ive Angelica Mata hari on which is an aubergine type colour which i had intended having on it's own. Experiment. Might add glitter the next time
