Ooh- nice nails, wow!stargirl.gra wrote: »Right I got the set in argos today i was jus too darn curious. here's the fruits of my labour.
What set did you get?
I'm sooo tempted to get one. I've often spent well over an hour doing my nails with a variety of polishes/glitters only to have it chip within a couple of hours. I'd like to see the fruits of my labour last longer than a day!

Today I bought Barry M in Mint Green.
Hmm, doesn't look like that IRL. I will post a pic when I paint my nails which will probably be tomorrow or Friday.
This post inspired me to paint my nails this colour last night It's a nice pastel green, and like most other Barry M pastel shades, it's a three-coater. 0 -

no you are only supposed to use one coat. maybe yours is a different brand that might not crackle as much! you could have put your coat on too thinly or too thick either.Hey girls, how do you use the crackle glaze polishes??
Ive put on colour one (glossy pink), waited for it to dry then painted the crackle effect over..do I do more than one coat of the crackle? It doesnt look like any of yours0 -
Did an Autumn-inspired mani yesterday using Essence "Spicy" as a base, then dabbing on various bronze/copper/green polishes:
Then today I got this gorgeous glitter polish from China - ordered it on eBay on the 12th, got it today, it reminds me of the Deborah Lippman polishes. There's a Happy Birthday dupe on their page from what I can see, for the grand total of $1.99 I think it needs investigating! Tried it on one nail:

My China Glaze polishes arrived today from http://8ty8beauty.com/nail_polishes/cg-c.htm The shipping was fast - I only ordered Sunday so they were shipped Monday at the earliest and arrived today, Thursday from New York. They were mostly $3 and shipping was $16. Total for the 6 of them plus shipping was $35.06/€25.44.

Just a note- I love Rimmel nail polishes but when I wore the Rimmel 'I Love Lasting Finish' with a good base coat in the colour 'Green Grass' (a colour I thought was fab!) it badly stained my nails yellow.
It was so bad that the discolouration just had to grow out of my nails over the course of a month or so.
Not to put anyone off, but just a warning. 0 -

just an update: lasted 7 days without any chips and very little tip wear (barely noticeable) all without a topcoat. really happy with this. removal was amazing too! didnt spread everywhere and took less than 5 mins to take off.catrice lucky in lilac swatch two coats,no top coat. its a bit blurry but it shows the colour perfectly.0 -
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.stargirl.gra wrote: »Yeah i mean like anyone bought the supplies and taught themselves from youtube?
I don't think anyone here has tried it.
I bought the Argos gel kit and found it ok for starting out doing gel nails,the lamp is only 9watt and professional ones are 36watt so even the time for curing they give you in the set makes the gel hard I'd recommend giving the final coat an extra 2-3 mins per hand, to really set it..0 -

I have I Love Lasting Finish 'Double Decker Red' and 'Hot & Spicy' and I love them both, really solid colours - even with only one coat the colour is great and opaque/solid.
I bought Purple Pulse in the range last week and Im SO disappointed with it - the first coat looks like purply water, the second is not much better and the 3rd fills in some bits more solidly but overall the nail looks awful and blotchy and some see through bits and some not. Massively disappointing, I was really hoping for another great solid colour from the range.
I guess the moral of the story is - try the tester - which I didnt.0
