The photo doesn't do them justice at all. I have a Shellac mani in Dark Lava on at the moment, and they look stunning layered over it. Here's the Shellac colour, taken from Polished 4 Pros blog

Nail painting ban until after my exams. My nails are in bits right now. Have bought a hardener/strengthener and a cutical oil and I will be religious in using them. Might get a supplement too. They're so soft and flakey and brittle. They break so easily

hdowney

I have just remembered that when I go back to college in September there will be NO painting of my nails It isn't allowed . So I'd best do plenty now

Smc30

Some dotting tools I ordered arrived yesterday so I went for a simple polka dot nail to get used to using them;



I used Rimmel's Double Decker Red with Barry M's Matt White for the dots.

Totally broke and my 21st is in two weeks, taking the plunge and selling most of the nailpolishes I have that are new or just swatched the once on Adverts.ie... I can always purchase those polishes again but I'll never have another 21st.

Kinda bummed over it but I know I'll be grand

Got this today, been wanting it for a while.

Essence - Passion For Fashion

Konad lady came in today for a demo! Unfortunately, I was working so I ended up smudging some of them. As a result, I only took a photo of three nails :P

Base is Rimmel Lycra Pro in Peppermint. The stamp colour is a Konad pink, but I cant remember the exact shade. The image plate is m56 for the bow, but I cant remember where the flower was from.

That looks a lot like Catrice Heavy Metallilac but shinier

Uggghhh does anyone else think ELF nail polishes are awful? I bought five or six of them recently and they all take ages to dry and when they do dry, the colour is a bit dull and usually streaky as well. I know they're very cheap but still, I'm a bit disappointed.

I can't find pics of that Catrice polish

The NYC polish isn't the same Purple colour as in her pic (well, not on me anyway), I don't know how it's that purple in the pic, unless she used a good few coats or purple base coat or something or even the lightening.

I bought a french manicure set from them before, haven't bought another polish from them since, the polishes in the set were awful quality. Watery, sheer, streaky, took forever to dry.

I wouldn't use ELF polishes again if I was given them for free.

Yeah I definitely won't be bying them again. Though I do like the matte top coat and actually, one of the nail polishes I bought is apparently a "new improved formula", I'll have to try that one out and see if it is any better.

Are the million style polishes out? Oh time for me to stalk local chemists again I have to have them!
Have only recently discovered catrice and I blame this forum for the shocking amount I their polishes I've bought- they are fab

Tried stamping by myself this evening! It does take a bit of practice. The colour on my nails looks a little brown, but that's just the light (maybe I should take the photos in the daytime as opposed to the middle of the night :P ). It's actually an old Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine in Peaches and Cream (840). Plates were M56 for the tips, and M4 for the flower.

I saw that too and I was thinking, why are they all raving about these on boards?? €9 for Catrice nail polish?? :eek::p

Posy

Has anyone been using the magnetic nail-polish?
I tried the Barry M one in Boots and didn't understand how it's meant to work- it just looked like normal polish.. I'm obviously doing something wrong.
