    I love this pale pink polish Kate Moss is wearing - anyone know what it is or recommend a similar colour? Thanks! :)

    Try Essie Fiji?

    Hi all, first time poster, long time lurker!! I did this design freehand in the hope of spreading Christmas cheer in the office (wasn't successful!)
    I used Rimmel double decker red and art expressions nail pen. Hopefully I'll improve with practise!! Thanks all

    LOVE nail polish but my nails are in an awful state at the moment. I have tried every form of nail strengthener, lotion, potion, vitamin supplement.........and nothing works. They are short stumps at the moment :( What is the best thing to do with them to make them look presentable over Christmas ?

    Doing a little comparison of the OPI Golden eye and Sally Hansen Gilded lily on the blog.

    Got a red & gold shellac done for the Christmas season. It took me ages to get the Butter London glitter polish off, and I just wanted something nice for the holidays

    Hmm, weird. I could see it. Anyway, I've changed it over to Flickr, so you should see it now.

    It is beautiful, what colours did you use?


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    It's a shellac manicure, I'm not sure about the colours names. The red however, is stunning in real life with great depth of colour.

    As Miss Moss probably has expensive tastes, I would guess this could be something like Chanel - maybe the 507 Tendresse colour on this page?

    I got a lovely set of China Glaze Red Satin and Pure Joy (red, and red and gold glitter) from my good friend, and a set of two light pink Sally Hansen along with the quick dry topcoat from my sis in law! Wore the China Glaze today, very festive. It's hard to get a good photo of the combo on, but here's someone elses photo:

    I've been a very lucky girl this Christmas :) The 2 essie are from my 17 yo brother (so sweet!) The OPI Spotted and Dior are from my bf (even sweeter! the spotted one came out with the Spiderman collection but only in France! I mentioned it months ago and he kept note :)) The other OPI are from my mum!

    Nails have been clear for nearly a week so I'm in need of a colour! Might give one of my new swap polishes a go!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    Have fallen in love with these, Blackheart beauty range, I think they are by Hot Topic. Amazing colours and how awesome are the bottles?

    Anyone ever heard of/ seen them?

    The colour is OPI, Bastille My Heart, which is a deep, shiny red, more like the 2nd photo below, with OPI , Goldeneye at the base, along with some gold glitter hexes along the edge. :)

    I'm wearing a colour called S-age is just a number by Sephora by OPI. Not too sure if I like the colour though.

    It is really long lasting and hard wearing though. Have it on now two days and not one chip yet. Very easy to apply as well.
    I got it as part of the Spice Market set by Sephora.

    I love the "Have you met Rose, Mary?" Colour from this set though (the red one).

    Sallys (Drury St, Dublin) have their end of season sale on. OPI Skyfall & China Glaze's christmas collection all half price (or better) including miniatures and Man with the Golden Gun. I got myself China Glaze Angel Wings & Glistening Snow for €2.83 each and a fill sized OPI Die Another Day for about a fiver. Shiny new nails for work tomorrow!

    Ah so jealous! I don't think the Sallys near me have OPI or China Glaze at all!

    And I don't have a Sally's (or anywhere else for that matter) near me!!

    Today (and last night) I am wearing one of my Christmas presents: Catrice Hollywood's Fabulous 40ties in The Nude Scene:

    Catrice+The+Nude+Scene+(2).jpg
    (not my pic)

    It is a quite nice nude colour, slightly pinky tinge to it but it does very well as a nude polish.
