I'm really excited I had a peak in my little chemist in my town and they've started selling the Konad sets I never thought they would sell it here especially in such a small place! I'm going to have to save and get one

That's what my friend got me for my birthday! Can't wait to try it out!

I treated myself to one the other day but the colours that came in the set aren't ones I'd use much... Does anyone know anywhere stocking the individual polishes? Would love the silver and gold 5ml ones.

if any of you are near Dundrum, McCabes on the top floor of the shopping centre stocks the nail stamping stuff

also they seem to be stopping stocking nubar polish as it's reduced to €2.50 a bottle (there's a few left on their reduced shelf)

Girls question for you all, saw a beautiful essie colour called tart deco, a peachy coral colour, so so pretty! Was wondering does anyone know of any good dupes?

how about Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri nail polish in snappy sorbet? they seem fairly similar.

Hey all, just saw in this months Stellar magazine, everyone who subscribes before August 3rd gets a gift of 4 Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes, worth 8.95 each. The polishes in the ad are a red, pink, blue and light yellow. It doesn't say if these are the colours you get or not, I presume they are.
Subscription is e25 for twelve issues.
I think I'll get it

My first time using one of those skinnier brushes, took me ages to find one! Its a very tacky look, but if you're into that sort of thing like me!

Edit...Ok my photo wont show up for me, what am I doing wrong?

I'm so tempted to get one online because they aren't selling them where I am, or maybe I'll have a look around Dublin someday. Really to try Konad out!

Yes I know I had a look online and the set they have in the chemist was 10 Euro dearer online :eek: I thought I'd get it for cheaper online? I really can't wait till I got some extra cash so I can snatch it up :rolleyes:

I'm all about the tacky manicures
I love it

I want to attempt a leopard print mani but am having trouble deciding on what colours to use!

The art pen is from Claires
The pink is 17 Lasting Finish in "Fairy Cake"
The peach is Models Own "Peach Sherbet"
And the lilac is a Barry M colour but its my sister so I'm not sure what shade it was!

I know on facebook there's a page konad ireland which lists all the stocklists

Tabitharose

here's the irish site http://nails2go.ie/ I got my set from them through a pigsback deal but if mccabes in Dundrum have it other mccabes should be able to get it in for you

After I did the 17 Fairy Cake colour i had an urge to do something more exciting, but it didn't turn out as I imagined....and I did quite a sloppy job!



I doubt anyone wants to re-create this mess, but the white is Rimmel & bright pink is Glo Baby Glo from Pennys!


Also I love this thread!

That's so cute! Did you just use nail art pens for the leopard print?

Well I live about 20 minutes outside the town in a little town so unless you're willing to travel that much out? I could send you a google map if you want.
