nail polish thread :) *Do Not Quote Pics!*

I usuallly get mine from salon services but I got the half metro collection from http://www.mbeautylounge.com/nailpolish/. Each bottle says was $4.85 with $17.28 for shipping so Glitterbug def got a better deal. How long was your delivery glitterbug? have you used the company before?

does anyone here do their own gel nails that they just learned to do themselves? does that make sense?

What's their story --- I was in there twice.

First time I bought CG no bother, second time (same woman) and I was asked for a trade card and sent on my way?

stargirl.gra

Yeah you need a trade card to shop there. the odd time you would be allowed in there without but i think up the country they do retail shops like in limerick? maybe i'm wrong. I have a trade card. so handy coz on vat free days u can get cg and opi for 5euro a bottle!

According to their website, the Salon Services on Drury St is a type S store - Trade and Retail Customers Welcome -

In fact, the only one in Ireland that seems to be trade only is the one in Robinhood Industrial Estate.

Next time the assistant says it's trade only, perhaps you could draw their attention to the website, and suggest that it be corrected if it is wrong!

I only ordered yesterday and it was my first order so can't comment on the shipping times. I've seen them mentioned on blogs/youtube vids from time to time so felt safe enough ordering from them.

Regarding salon services, I also thought you needed a trade card to shop there. They don't always bother to ask for it though. If asked, I think you'll usually get away with saying your sister etc is trade and asked you to pick up the stuff for her.

Golden stripes

I did this before with blue! Ever since I started doing designs on my nails they look unfinished with just one colour on them! Haven't had them all one colour without some kind of pattern in months!

The Lovely Muffin

Hey guys,

Just wondering who was it that posted a photo of their accent nail in a glittery polish? I am sure the glitter polish was Katy Perry O.P.I and the other nails were a pink colour?

I have looked through this thread and cannot find that particular post/photo

Would appreciate any help!!

I got this on eBay after seeing Twee's post, can't wait to get it.

This arrived today, lovely colour, gorgeous for the Winter.

Quick question for those who have it too, is yours thick-ish or watery?

Mine is kinda watery, but still gives an even colour/coat. I got mine on eBay and just worried it might be fake

Saw them in Penneys in town yesterday and in Dunnes in Maynooth last week! I imagine most places will be getting them in soon enough if not already.

I'm doing a gel nail course at the moment. I'm not self taught. Is that what you mean?

I'm tempted to get the UV lamp and gel polish/top coat kit in argos that promises '14 day chip free nails' but I fear it's too good to be true.

I don't think anyone here has tried it.
