    Wearing Butter London All Hail The Queen today. The shimmer is holographic, but it doesn't really show up that well unless it's really sunny.

    Managed to drop and smash my bottle of Nails Inc The Hurlingham.

    One of my fave colours, big orange/red stain on the concrete floor now, just as well we're having new tiles put down soon.

    I wouldn't mind so much only it was expensive at £11 GBP around €16 I think :(

    It definitely goes in slow motion :(

    I was standing at the press, watching the bottle just fall and twirl in the air then BOOOOOOOOOOM, smashed bottle, polish everywhere, smell of nail polish everywhere, orange stain on the concrete ground :(

    It is really expensive, I wouldn't usually spend so much on a polish either, this one was so gorgeous, looked much nicer in reality than in pics, I think anyway.

    I think my Essie Coat Azure has seperated too, looking at the bottle it looks like it had seperated, but I haven't tried it out yet, wikl try it at the weekend, hope it's not seperated, it's another fave of mine :( Knowing my luck it probably will be seperated :(

    i never had a problem with polish separating. i keep them all in a dark space though. maybe try that and hopefully the rest won't separate!
    do essie have a reputation for separating?

    It's my own fault I'd say, to be honest. I've left a few of my polishes out in direct daylight (on windows/counter tops etc), so if it has separated it's because I left it somewhere I shouldn't have.

    I painted my nails three times today and each time the polish smudged or didn't dry properly so I ended up taking it all off each time, waste of nail polishes, nail polish remover and also cotton wool.

    i always do that. that's pretty much the reason why i buy catrice! they dry so quickly i don't have to worry about them smudging :) (and the colours are amazing :P)

    Some days the polish just doesn't go right no matter what you do!I love Nails Inc myself - haven't paid full price for the large ones yet - they were pressies or in a magazine.

    3 for 2 Rimmel 60 Second nail polishes in Boots! The brush is very wide so took a bit of getting used to, but happy with the result after one coat. Can't find pics but I got a cobalt blue, coral and taupe/brown type shade.

    Essence Choose me! 3 coats (nail lines drive me crazy :o )

    Found these Color Club minis for $1.99 - not sure where you can find Color Club in Ireland besides ordering online, sorry! I wish everyone had minis of their nail polishes. With all the polish I have I don't know when I will ever finish a bottle and I really enjoy that feeling of finishing up a product!

    Psychedelic Scene
    , a really pretty orangey-yellowy color but I don't like how it applied - was very patchy. Although, I've read that yellows usually aren't the greatest.
    Jackie Oh! - lovely hot pink
    Edie (kinda similar to China Glaze For Audrey)
    Mrs. Robinson - bright purple

    Can't figure out how to resize these ridiculously large photos, sorry for links. (pics from Google)

    Love all the bright colours!! Especially those two Nails Inc ones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,595 ✭✭✭The Lovely Muffin


    I don't know how many times over the past few days I have painted my nails, each and every time they either didn't dry properly, or smudged or I got polish all over my hands.

    I've gone through nearly a full bottle of nail polish remover since the weekend. *sigh*

    :(:(:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I am going on a nail varnish shopping spree tomorrow. For sure.


  • Registered Users Posts: 209 ✭✭Saorenza


    Love the neon Nails Inc and the Bring on the Bling OPI.

    I am sticking to nudes at the moment since I am trying to get my nails back into decent condition. Looking forward to going bright again when they grow a bit longer and stronger. I have a nice coral pinky orange on my toes nails at least.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭chickenbutt


    Wow Jackie Oh! is gorgeous!

    I know!! I got to see it on my nails in the bright sunlight this morning and Jackie Oh! is just fantastic! so glad I bought it since this just might be my go to color for the summer :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭nursemar88

    Hi Chickenbutt, if you don't mind me asking, what site did you get those Color Club polishes from? I love the Jackie Oh!

    Ah you see I bought these in the US :o I've searched online to see if they have a European stockist, or anything, but no luck... I'd say add them on Twitter or Facebook and ask through there! Good luck!

    Just saw a tweet on their feed about emailing them for any questions/comments. Their email is colorsocietyblog@gmail.com.

    You can get them on ebay. Hopefully this link works! http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_nkw=jackie+oh+club&_sacat=26395&LH_PrefLoc=2&_odkw=jackie+oh&_osacat=26395&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

    I find ebay is best for sourcing polishes cheaply.

    Max Factor Max Effect in Fantasy Fire.

    I also bought a really nice blue by Miss Sporty. I have never bought Miss Sporty anything before but I was in a shop the other day and the girl on the till had the nicest nails so I asked her what she was wearing and she told me it was Miss Sporty. For only three euro, can't complain!

    Catrice iron mermaiden (now discontinued i think)
    It's a pretty colour. I like how it changes. Glad i got it though because it would suit pretty much all skin tones.
    This picture is 2 coats :) It shows the purple and green hints too which i tried so bloody hard to capture :p

    Wearing Sinful Colors 164 Deep Red Ocean. It reminds me of glitter in jelly! It's very sheer but looks cool. It's mainly applied over other polishes but I think it looks pretty cool on its own.

    I picked up a few from the Hunger Games collection (I had no idea what HG was until I saw these polishes!). I got Stone Cold, Smoke and Ashes, Agro, Harvest Moon, and Riveting (this one is on my toes right now and is so cool!)
