Thanks! I used:

Primark Black(for base layer) and then stippled on in different layers-a nail art white, OPI-Fiercely Fiona, Essence Multi Dimensional-Just Shout!, Sephora by OPI-It's All About Me, Primark-Glo Gaby Glo Electric Blue and just a little bright yellow on top with a nail art pen. I did the dots in OPI- Fiercely Fiona and stippled a little of Essence- Blue Addicted all over. Finished with a top layer of Rimmel glitter topcoat- Disco Gold

It's a long process but i think it turned out alright! a little brighter than I was going for but nice anyways

).

Revlon sunshine Sparkle with China Glaze Twinkle Lights acent nail

The yellow took 4 coats

must have taken me an hour in total! Don't know if I said this already but I've been using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri as a top coat - it's brilliant, drys super quick and really shiny!

Canyon Coral

I need to step away from the pinks and corals.... They are all starting to look the same.
Need to venture out a bit

musical.x · 25-01-2012 8:39pm

they don't look the same...each has a subtle difference that only you can see.....ssshhhh

Saorenza · 25-01-2012 9:22pm

They look different to me but then I have maybe 20 different shades of teal and dark blue.....

Regina Phalange · 25-01-2012 10:31pm

Thanks ladies....

Here's my little 'pinks and corals' collection

I sold 4 polishes on eBay last week and have more up for auction, getting rid of a good few polishes.

I really want Essie Holly Day (glittery green), but am on a spending ban, although it's my birthday in a few weeks, could be justified as an early present, from me, to me.:pac:

Seren_ · 25-01-2012 10:44pm

^ What ones did you sell?

My spending ban has been well and truly ruined

Two polishes arrived in the post for me this morning:

Nubar 2010 (flaky glitter - pic from Snowflake Says blog)

and Sparitual Crystal Waters (pic from Nailphile blog)

Heh mine was too, but am back on it now.

I sold China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic, Stella, Cowgirl Up and Sally Hansen Sally Hansen salon manicure Right Said Red.

Have another five Nails Inc polishes and eleven other polishes from Essence, The Colour Club, Ciaté, Eyeko, Sally Hansen and MUA (Make Up Academy).

I also had four Rimmel polishes for sale, will be re-listing them at some point, just waiting for a dispute to close before I can re-list them.

So that's twenty four polishes to get rid of. I still have about sixty which I use.

Seren_ · 25-01-2012 10:59pm

Selling the ones you don't use is a really good idea TLM! Least you'll get a nice wee bit of money out of it.

God, I've well over a hundred polishes at this stage, I'm definitely not buying any more for a while!

Apart from one or two of the CG Electropop collection >.>

True, although there isn't really much/any money to be made from nail polishes, my three China Glaze and Sally Hansen sold for €1 + postage.

I always start my auctions at €1 or €1.49 though 'cause it means you don't have to pay to list the items, if you start your auction at €1.50 or more, you have to pay. Think eBay charge 10% (not 100% sure though) and there's the PayPal fee's as well.
