My mani is cooler than yours <gloat>

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%.

or 'thanks' even Grin

MsOliveOyl · 08/06/2012 16:36

I'm guessing you're all familiar with www.alllacqueredup.com/, but just in case you're not...

The galleries are really useful for comparing colours.

MsOliveOyl · 08/06/2012 16:37

I can't see your pic fauxfox :(

FunnysInLaJardin · 08/06/2012 16:38

blimey, who knew nails could be so complicated. The most I do with mine are file them

Mikyahrose · 08/06/2012 16:38

Oh no, there's just too many amazing nails - i havent started mine yet, too busy getting lost on t'internet!

ShirleyKnot · 08/06/2012 16:39

FauxFox · 08/06/2012 16:41

ShirleyKnot · 08/06/2012 16:44

Oh! They look good. Got to get me some of that matte top coat.

Pinot · 08/06/2012 16:45

My fave posters and chatting about my obsession of nail polishes!

I'm wanting the matte black with a glossy tip AND I WANT IT NOW

I really cant ever see myself being arsed to gradient mu polish but I likey the idea of an accent nail.

Would it make me look mutton though? I'm 37. I've recently found 4 grey hairs (OK 7) and am feeling a tad wibbly and a bit wobbly about getting old.

Also, Chanel Rouge Noir is back in stock Yes it chips like a bitch but it's iconic. Eat that, Lincoln Park After Dark.

Pinot · 08/06/2012 16:47

They look v good FauxFox! South Coast, eh? Near Arundel perchance?

JodieHarshHasALumpyPennie · 08/06/2012 16:48

Pinot!!! Was hoping you'd swing by! I have posted a picture can you see it can you see it can you see it???

Rouge Noir is back in?! Hoopla! I would mug a passing old lady for that stuff.

JodieHarshHasALumpyPennie · 08/06/2012 16:49

Pinot youre a youngster im 43 and am a glitter queen.

If you are looking for sparlkes etc places like poundland and homebargains always have nail sets in stock. Its where i buy mine.

Pinot · 08/06/2012 16:50

I have grey hairs Jodie! 7 of the fuckers. I pulled them out though. I can feel them growing back the skanky FUCKERS.

I may need to cut my hair into a naice bob and get some comfortable shoes. And big knickers.

I'll be needing bigger knickers too

FauxFox · 08/06/2012 16:51

I put my pink graded colours on my profile too cos I was so pleased with it I took a pic (sad emoticon)

Near Bournemouth actually Pinot - tis beachy Grin

And i'm 34 and am most def not mutton. Oh no.

Pinot · 08/06/2012 16:51

ooh fuck me sideways Jodie those talons are coo-ell.

Coco I'm gonna do it. I'm going matte. Matte like him from Bros. Not the ugly one or Craig.

ShirleyKnot · 08/06/2012 16:51

This stuff changes colour apparently, Peen, so might be an idea?

I'm 39 Peen, and I couldn't care less. I don't usually go mental with my nails, usually stick to one colour, but I LOVE to wear black but I also really like all the more vibrant shades ATM. I've just bought chanel's <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=chanel+navy+nail+polish&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1R2ADFA_enGB460&biw=1280&bih=812&tbm=isch&tbnid=baWp_ccQtaO36M:&imgrefurl=behindthescenesmakeup.com/trends/autumnwinter-trend-navy-nails/&docid=gc4AjUry82453M&imgurl=behindthescenesmakeup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chanel-blue-satin.jpg&w=500&h=564&ei=Mh_ST5eKAYie8gOAo7i-Aw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=174&vpy=133&dur=2855&hovh=238&hovw=211&tx=115&ty=135&sig=112837808514634340314&page=1&tbnh=150&tbnw=123&start=0&ndsp=26&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:72" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">navy blue and it's aces...I like the thought of doing glittery/matte tips and what's the worse that can happen...they look shit and you have to wipe them off, or someone JUDGES YOU FOR YOUR NAILS!

What kind of a meany would a nail judge have to be? Grin

Pinot · 08/06/2012 16:52

ooh Bournemouth is luvverly. I am well jel.

Pinot · 08/06/2012 16:53

I want that Chanel navy.

I'll need a boat to go with, natch.

MsOliveOyl · 08/06/2012 16:54

LOVE your pic Jodie, definitely in need of matte topcoat and silver sparkles now. And agree with Pinot Rouge Noir is way nicer than Lincoln Park. I don't find it chips though - not with two coats of Nails Inc Albert bridge or Kensington Caviar topcoat! (which is way way better than Seche Vite imho)

ShirleyKnot · 08/06/2012 16:57

I like seche vite, but I also like Nails Inc Albert Bridge...and I bought an amazing wet look topcoat (Can't remember the name) which truly, HONESTLY made my nails look...well, wet.
