what nailpolish are you wearing? and where do you buy from?

[BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood]

I love polishes, I'm not a fan of make up, but nailpolish is the equivilant of shoes, or jewellery. It finishes an outfit.

Today I am wearing Essie school of hard rocks, an ace dark teal. With a barry m yellow topaz glitter topcoat. The topcoat looks like models own, but is half the price, from superdrug, buy 2 get a web or croc effect free. And the essie came from cheapsmells.com

[Hopefully]

Ooh, beach bum blue looks lovely

Have just re-done mine in OPI live and let die again, really dark without being too gothy I hope. I love it.

Current fav is Tom Ford Ginger Fire.

Not cheap but it goes on well and lasts.

[MissFoodie]

cock? sounds like an interesting shade

Essie 'Master Plan' - lovely it is, with Seche Vite topcoat.

Since Boots have started doing Essie I can't walk past without going in to buy one.

Prior to this, I used to buy Essie in US - much cheaper.

I have that no7 shade. Need to do my nails tonight so will update colour later.

[BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood]

I've had a couple of days without nailpolish to give hem a chance to recover, need to do them tonight though.

No7 - Thunderstorm on fingernails - a dark bluey/purple, with No7 Topcoat. No7 Beany on toenails which is a Minky colour. I get a bit carried away with those £5 No7 vouchers! :)

Oooh those sky fall ones are lovely! Can't afford a tenner though (payday next week, bah)

Might be able to stretch if it goes down.

I'm currently wearing Barry M gold foil effects. Horrifically chipped though, as I've had it on since Saturday.

[MrsGeologist]

That essie chinchilly is beautiful too. I might have to purchase it soon.

[Hopefully]

Issima that looks like a great shade for you, Summer lady.

I quite fancy an orangey red, but have my mother visiting so no chance of buying any naice nail varnish tomorrow (she will clasp hands in horror at the price). Have discovered that painted nails is a great way to start conversations at toddler group (we have just moved house) so need to have a good colour by Friday! I have a bright coral Jessica one kicking around, maybe that...

Essie Merino Cool, on top of my first Sensationail gel manicure!

[brighthair]

China Glaze Champagne Kisses - just a little glittery

[BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood]

Toes, models own magneta pearl and fingers, nails inc belgrave place. I've ordered loads of essie off cherapsmells, inc topcoats.

[ScooseIsLooseInTheHauntedHoose]

Essie lights on my fingers

[HoopDePoop]

Hopefully my mother on law introduced me to Essie's presence in Boots

Have you seen Essie Geranium ? It is the perfect (IMO) orangey red.

Today: Pompous by Rimmel. Sparkly purple. Luffly!

[hugandroll]

I just bought pompous today and will be using it later :)

[Conflugenglugen]

:)

Two coats needed at least, hugandroll. And a top-coat. Then it lasts on my nails for about a week.

[hugandroll]

Awesome, will do it after kettlebells tonight I love painting my nails and hope it lasts :)

[Conflugenglugen]

Me too - highly meditative (unless I have to go to the loo between coats, which ends up in a slanging match with my zip-fly!).

Another thing I learned which has been really useful in that respect. I'm sure it's common knowledge: submerge your hands in ice-cold water for 20 seconds and it will harden the polish instantly.

Happy painting, hugandroll! :)
