Young Turks by Colors by Llarowe..




It actually looks like it's glowing on my nails which sounds really weird but is awesome.

Had my heart broken by a polish I've been looking for for ages and then finally got and tried at the weekend and hated it so needed something to lift my polish spirits!

I would recommend Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat

I find this one the best by far! It's available in penneys and anywhere else that stocks essence varnishes. It's called essence gel look top coat xxxl shine

Sorry, just realised how rude that looked! Didn't mean it to.
Rimmel do a cheap and cheerful one that's pretty decent, or when I have the cash I like the OPI ones.

Essence used to do a matte top coat, which I loved, but I haven't been able to find it in over a year. Does anyone know of any decent (not too expensive) ones?

Wet n Wild do one for 1.99, decent enough for the price IBC.

Cheers, I'll check them out

I bought this 2 weeks ago and genuinely didn't think it would be any good. I love it!! I use it as a base and top coat and it dries really quickly. Delighted with it and it was less than €3

Michellenman

H&M do an alright one for a couple of euro.

mcballer

Its mad even with varnish people differ. I got the wet n wild one anniehoo suggested and for me it ruined all my polish attempts. Funny how people differ.

I went on a massive hunt for a matte top cosy before Christmas and the only decently priced one that I managed to find was No 7 for about €8

I use the Rommel topcoat but I find it a bit useless. It takes so long to dry that I end up smudging my nails anyway.

Edit: Rimmel. Ahem.

All the other varnishes fear it.

Whooops!

It is the most dastardly and bigoted of the topcoats!

Even the Dessert Fox needed a decent manicure

I use HK Glisten & Glow as a fast drying and mega shiny top coat. I alternate between that and Poshe and love them both.

currently wearing Connie, You Saucy Minx by Colors By Llarowe. It's like a cross between Chanel Taboo & Max Factor Fantasy Fire with a really lovely shimmer when the lights on and it's a gorgeous dairy milk purple with no light on it..mad about it!

Mixed neon nails

Jwacqui

Got a two week gelish manicure. So good to have neat nails and not have to worry about them.

My nails are very weak and no matter what I do peel and break. When I have then done they seem to grow so they are currently quite short.

Wearing Too Yacht to Handle by China Glaze. Lovely bright colour but the formula is one of the worst I've ever seen. So streaky and lumpy..It took ages to get it evened out..Plus it's probably a bit too similar to colours I've already got in my stash

PennyWren

Purple daisies! I've never done daisies before and I did too many they look a bit smushed but I'll know for next time

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Neon green by essence
Gold by essence but sinful nude on top to dull it down.
Black fine tip nail art pen from beauty express

StripedBoxers

Picked these up in TK Maxx

Nails Inc - Old Bond Street



Nails Inc - Savoy Hill



Nails Inc - Bruton Mews



Nails Inc - St. Martin's Lane



I also picked up a bright pink Bourjois polish but there is no name on it

So my local chemist finally got their Wet n Wild stand in. Urge to buy ALL OF IT!!!

I resisted though. I bought a couple glitter eyeshadows and the following polishes (for now!)

Mega Rocks Glitter Topper in Creative Control:



Wild Shine Polish in Caribbean Frost:



Wild Shine Polish in Dreamy Poppy:



Wild Shine in Eggplant Frost:



Wild shine in Red Red:




Can't wait to wear them

Ignore the chewed fingers please!
