What's the excitement?

It's a great colour of course... but Confused at the excitement of the girl stocking the display and the customer.

So I acted like a total sheep and bought three. [no willpower]

Shall I ebay em?

Pinot · 04/04/2012 16:01

Well 'I've never heard of it and you know how close to the throb of fashion's pulse I am AROUND THE CLOCK

So dont buy that Island in the Maldives just yet

Pinot · 04/04/2012 16:05

It's coz I live in Old Lady Village. The aisles in Superdrug have to be wide enough for two zimmer frames to pass each other. So this much coveted trend passed the lavender ladies by.

I shall get links to prove my wisdowm damn you cybbo Wink

I've never heard of it Pinot. Grin

Just googled and on some site last month apparently it was like gold dust, out of stock everywhere.

Looks a bit of a gruesome colour to me, I am more of a pale colour girl meself, maybe with a bit of glitter in if I'm feeling daring !

Don't honestly wear it that often, I cba with all that fussing about filing etc !

Pinot · 04/04/2012 16:08

REDonline said it is a frenzy. steady on. www.redonline.co.uk/beauty/beauty-news/max-factor-fantasy-fire-polish

I bought it a few weeks ago, looks fabulous in the bottle, but takes about 5 coats to get a decent colour. It's good over other colours though.

I love messing about with DDs nails, have even considered getting all the foils and special bits to do arty-farty fancy things, and nail stickers etc, but I just cba with mine.

Always roaming about with one animal or another close by, it hardly seems worth it !

And it annoys me how the crazy colours stain nails too.

I am the sort of person who would paint nails a daring, flashy colour, then forget and stroke the dog !

Pup is 7 weeks in that snap, we get her in a week and a half ! Counting down the days now ! Grin

cybbo · 04/04/2012 16:16

Pinot I used to wear two tone nail varnish in the 90's! That's taken me right back....

MsNorbury · 04/04/2012 16:17

But it's gross.

Pinot · 04/04/2012 16:18

Thanks for the link WhoKnows. I like the colour, I'll give it a bash later :)

What are you calling the pup, DeeBee? Federer?

Don't be so blooming silly, Pinot.

Got daft bird who has the best namesake. Wink

She's called Bonnie. Smile

VeniVidiVisa · 04/04/2012 16:23

Pinot - it looks like a lot of bottle with a bit of varnish. What's with the thick glass? No wonder you needed to buy so many bottles Grin

I quite like the colour though.

Pinot · 04/04/2012 16:26

Veni when I'm living in the caribbean with a yacht, you'll be sorry you were so flippant with my glass bottom :o Wink

Bonnie is sweet. Like the Blue Peter dog of old :)

By the way, the aisles in Superdrug have to accommodate the two lanes of zimmer frames because the JML shrine stand with the beauty trimmers and ped eggs are always at the back.

Pinot · 04/04/2012 16:28

heh heh @ JML shrine :o

MrsDeeBee · 04/04/2012 16:30

Really ? Didn't know that.

Chose it because she is of scottish origin, and was told categorically she couldn't be Lassie. Grin

(She will be though, I already refer to her as 'Bonnie Lass').

Jackstini · 04/04/2012 18:21

Oh - it was mega popular on the 'nail polish addicts anonymous' thread on moneysavingexpert recently.

Ebay 2 of them - it is a nice colour but you will never need 3!
