My mani is cooler than yours <gloat>

[JodieHarshHasALumpyPennie]

Ho dear me yes indeed. Oh yes.

I am currently sporting MATTE BLACK NAILS, with SILVER GLITTER ON BLACK as accent nails on my ring fingers.

In my opinion this makes me currently the coolest girl in the school by roughly 39.33%.

Gawd, I think I feel faint...

Jimble - I have no idea about manicure strips . I had to google what they were!!

Me too!

Useful video review and she also mentions Oil Slick at the end.

I think if I got some I would only use it as an accent nail wotsit

Hmmm... Product Junkie Diva's Blog review is even more helpful. Doesn't wear too well and their advice not to use a clear top coat should be ignored.

However, I am such a sucker I will probably buy this...

jimble you could try sticking them to your skin first then your nail? So they are less sticky?

works when I use masking tape on the wall

You ladies have got me addicted again ....big delivery of nail stamps turned up yesterday and I am waiting for a Nails Inc order to arrive.....

But my nails looks lurvely!

I fancy a go with the stamps, but wonder if it needs a mega-steady hand - which I don't have!

not steady handed at all - I did them for the first time last night, pic on profile. Especially if you go for an all over pattern so placement isn't quite so important.

Wow! That's lovely! Oh boy...more stuff to covet.

Ooo scotsgirl23 they look lovely!

I'm so tempted to get the stamps.

Get stamps. ....there are some massive sets on amazon......and they work fine with normal polishes....

I'm off to have a look right now. :)

Another excuse to not get out of bed yet.

Ooo there's so much. and its not even too pricey!

Done it! Bought a stamp and scraper and a set of 21 plates - all for 20 sqidders!

I just broke two of mine ...guess that means I will have to do a new design. Oh well.

Boo, Scotsgirl! All my lovely green & purple masked off nails peeled off today so I feel your pain.

Mikyahrose - any chance of a link, please?

Here you go chameleon

trying to do one of those fancy links, so if it looks all wrong, its coz i'm doing it wrong...

Hmmm - the fancy linky thing didnt work. :(

can someone tell me how to do it please. :)

I have these ones - stencils

stamper

I did also buy one of the special varnishes but it's not necessary as I found out! There are a few of the smallest designs I haven't been able to suss out yet but the big whole nail covering ones all seem to work very well.

Mikya, put then paste the link, then type a space, then the word you want to describe it, then

Thanks scots i shall have a practise and see if i can make it work.

Thats the same stencils i bought. Dont think i bought the double ender(hee hee) stamper though.

Hi know I'm late joining in but I've been so inspired by your fab links. I had my nails done with gellux in this colour www.salonsdirect.com/product-images/width/600/83762.jpg. And I have done gold (topshop) half moon on the bases. So excited needs a bit more perfecting but looks good IMHO. I put it on my profile. Hope you approve.

Niiiiice. I also like your casual lounging position!

Well, I did it - I just ordered:

Order Summary

1 Manipulative
1 Let Me Fly
1 Captivated
1 My Kind of Cool Aid
1 In A Trance
1 Living Water
1 Charming
1 Seduction

I'm ridiculously excited!

My shiny nails inc order arrived, so I am now sporting dark blue with teal tiger stripes (on profile). Not as nice as last time but I think that's due to the two broken nails (grrrrrrr)

For those trying stamping - a lot of the nails inc plain colours are too thin to work, but the metallic shades seem to work well. Most metallics, actually, they're a bit thicker.
