    Purchased two new shades today.
    Catrice No 350: Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans
    Second was Gosh No 540: Ocean

    :eek: How odd. I bought those exact two on the 30th too!!!! I looooooove Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans, it makes my nails look so sleek and classy.


    Nubar Freeze Dry is ah-maze-ing for rock hard nails. I complained before about struggling to find a decent top coat and this stuff laughs in the face of smudges.

    I was sporting lovely long nails for most of the summer but alas I cut them all back for the start of college. :( So to make myself feel better I bought Barry M Indigo :

    and
    Barry M Spring Mint

    Also picked up Essie Matte About You matte coat, can't wait to try it! Think I'll pick up just one more colour before I leave. Possibly Chinchilly, or something like it.

    I have Chinchilly and I love it. I got it during the summer but I think it's more of an autumn colour. It's so sleek and chic and looks good with a glittery accent nail.

    Ahh I wish I could do my nails now!

    wearing 17 forever. finally got a proper swatch of it! delighted i didnt give up on it :) three coats but two would do if you have short nails or no white tips.
    artificial light. looks way better in person though.
    quick update: lasted a full 7 days without a topcoat before it began to chip. chips were tiny too but i was bored of it and took it off:p

    Ciderswigger where did you get the nubar?

    My local beautician sells it. I cannot stress how good it is. Nails as hard as nails! :D

    This is such a beautiful colour(s), have to get them both :p:o

    Do you mind me asking, how do you paint your nails so perfectly?

    I can never manage it like that, how do you do it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    This is the swatch of the varnish kit that I got free with the magazine, It's a lot better than I thought it would be. There's no brand name but the pink polish is called Purple Haze!

    I've a few Barry M pastel polishes, they're so pretty!! You should definitely treat yourself to some ^__^

    I've just moved house, and I needed a separate box for all my nail polishes :o I've about 100 at this stage! :eek:

    barry m peach melba. i think i am far too pale to pull off this colour. it makes my nails and skin look dirty. also it looks orange on me for some odd reason :p sorry about the lighting but it is exactly how it looks in real life!

    They look amazing!!!:eek:

    Thanks:) The colour is O.P.I Do You think I'm Tex-y? from the texas collection. It's a colour i keep putting on I just love it and the shine is amazing, it aint the top coat making it shine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭Dark Phoenix


    Am currently wearing a sparkly black angelica polish. Was amazed it lasted all week but have found the nails Inc save the nail 45 second top coat amazing over any polish.

    Loved my Sally hansen Polish in navy baby so I picked up 'plum luck' this week. Also had a little alcohol I spired shop on beauty bay last night as reveal magazine had a twenty percent off code. I picked up essie chinchilly and the essie wedding collection - my first ever essie polishes :D am so impatient now for them to arrive!!

    I think it's a hard colour to wear. Took me a while to get used to it.

    For whoever asked about it chipping, I painted my nails on Tuesday and I'm just about to remove it now, and only one teeny chip. So 2 coats lasted pretty well. :)
