    For anyone travelling to the States soon, I just got an email from Sephora, they are now stocking Nails Inc polishes. The current exchange rate they are just under €7 a bottle which is a good €5-6 cheaper than here!

    The caviar top coat and oil pen are also $10, which is about €7 and I know each of those is €17 here.

    I've used them several times without a base and I've never had a problem with staining. I think I used three coats for a nice opaque look :)

    Eek! I went into a small chemist in town today and they had a new OPI stand with three of their latest collection :) I nearly bought Teenage Dreams but I was on a beauty ban and left empty handed :(:rolleyes: It wasn't worth it for the price though as I could have got them in Sallys for half the price they were selling at :rolleyes:

    Anyone heading to NY, definitely check out Ricky's. There's a few around the city, a big one on Broadway at Prince St. The Mattese Elite brand polish is really good, and only $5.99! Their Essie is $7.99. It's basically a beauty super store! They have the biggest selection of hair brushes I have ever seen!

    It's a gorgeous shimmery purple :) Two coats in that picture, drying time is fast.

    Hey yall :) Such a lovely morning! Although I'm broke so that means no new polishes for at least 2 weeks :(

    Anyway, here's some pics of my manis over the last few days ...

    OPI On Stranger Tides. I love this colour in theory and I've seen some amazing swatches but I just hate it on me.
    Think I'll have to give up - sorry the pic is pretty bad
    IMAG0622.jpg

    Catrice Absolutely Chinchilly with Sir Yes Sir accent.
    Sorry the application looks so messy - had Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter on at the time so it looks a bit weird.
    IMAG0586.jpg

    Essence Purple Diamond. Love the colour and the texture but the drying time was awful.
    I had 3 smudged nails even after about an hour so I had to take it off almost as sonn as I'd done it :(
    DSC02133%252520%252528Large%252529.JPG

    Catrice Petit Four As Dessert.
    Lovely nude, easy to wear and Makes me think of a milky lattes :)
    DSC02093%252520%252528Large%252529.JPG

    OPI My Private Jet. My latest addition.
    Love love love this one. The shimmer holo is amazing, it changes in every light and was super easy to apply. Definate new favourite :)

    You people are a terrible influence on me! Up until today, I've owned 6 Nails Inc polishes (The Cashmere Collection, plus a scarlet red and a burgundy colour, both free in Glamour I think), a manicare French Manicure set with clear, nude and white tip polishes and one Rimmel LycraPro in Fuschia.

    But today I started a better collection! Stopped in Boots and picked up 4 Barry M polishes. Bright Purple, limited edition Lilac, Navy and Nail Effects in Black. I need a bigger bag for my polishes now :)

    thought i would post about boots acetone free nail polish remover. its really effective and due to the absence of acetone its better for your nails/skin and it actually has a lovely smell! added bonus :D and all for less than €2 which is amazing like. totally recommend it.

    It's hard to say, online is a lot more cheaper but then you have to think about delivery fees. The best thing you can do is shop around and see what's best.

    Where did you get the holo version? They changed the formulation and the holo one isn't really available anymore? It's much nicer than the new on though!

    That's odd, your Skull & Glossbones looks green but mine is more grey/white. :confused:

    I thought about making my own thread, but you lot sound like experts, so perhaps you'll know, any idea how much Chanel nail varnishes are? I've had a look on eBay, some are up to £30. I'm looking for Rouge Noir and and a black one.

    I'm not the best online shopper so I get mine from millies.ie. They're in Kildare and have them for €9.50 so compared to €13 in shops here it's not too bad. They have great delivery - I'm too impatient to wait for things from EBay!

    Damn, I was only in Millies salon last week getting dermalogica. Took all my strength to stay away from the nail polishes and now I wish I'd seen them!
