    Haha no I'm actually glad, it means I have a chance of beautiful long nails :p Sorry for all the questions, but I'd love to give it a shot (despite the OH's disgust when I mentioned them :D ). Did you buy the tips then and just pop them on your self? May I ask where? Thaaaaaanks!

    I've to keep mine short for work, lots of opening boxes so they'd get wrecked. Nice for the weekend though :)


    yup pretty much twee, I'm a nail tech so have lots of random nail tips lying around that i use up at weekends for nails like these. pop into sallys or i think hairspray sell boxes tips(pic below) now glue them on and then buff the tip so it blends in with your own nails using a low grit file (240/180), cut & file the nails to the length shape you want them and then pop some nail polish over them and they should last the weekend at least :)

    ess_OZtheGreatandPowerful_CrackingTopCoat_all.png

    They are the new Oz The Great And Powerful Crackling Topcoats.

    From Left:

    02, Winds of Change
    03, Good Witch
    04, Winged Wonder
    05, Delicate but Determined
    01, Master of Illusion.

    I ordered the 3rd of Feb. On my first contact with them they said that I should wait 20 working days (so, 4 weeks), make sure and check postal depots and if it hadn't arrived by then to get back in touch.

    Now, to process the refund I have to sign the refund application, so it'll have to be scanned, faxed or posted. Pain in the arse!

    I have never heard anything good about Beauty Bay. I haven't ordered from them myself but from what I've read online and my friends' experiences, I wouldn't do it. I like feelunique.com however. Good luck with the refund! :)

    They have free shipping so that drew me in :p But I'll stick to Cloud 10 Beauty now. They charge for shipping but I've never been waiting more than 4 days for anything. And they're Irish! Must give Feel Unique a go now!

    Wearing this now - Butter London's No More Waity Katie.

    I have it on about 4 days now and I'm getting tired of it. I'm going to remove it now and put on something more summery I think.

    Happy Easter guys - go easy on the chocolate!! :D

    My god fantastic. I did mine last night. They were shíte! Tried to take it off this morning and the bloody turquoise vintage district did NOT want to come off, stained my nails and damaged them even with a base on :( I was NOT happy. Put some nail saver on and then a couple of simple colours. Nothing fancy after that

    Just got a set a sequins for nail art. Pretty easy to play around with.

  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭suomi


    musical.x how did you put on the sequins? I bought some from ebay a while ago and they're gorgeous but I find using them really difficult. I tried putting them on while the polish underneath was still sticky but even with a topcoat they just fell off after a couple of hours. :o Any tips? I'd love to do a full nail too!

    It's really easy. Wait until the colour below is dry. Then add on some topcoat to the place you want to place each sequin. Use a slowish drying one. If you are doing the full nail do it in section otherwise the topcoat will dry and it won't hold. When it's all done make sure to seal it all with a layer of topcoat (Fast drying is fine to use now :) ) I went through the whole process on my post about that design if ya need to read it :)

    Thanks so much! I didn't even think of doing it in sections. :o I just took a look at your blog and saw the post, it's very helpful! :)

    Picked this set up from the Air Lingus Sky Mall during my flight recently, seemed pretty good for €14. Can't decide what colour to wear first!
