damediazapam it's a boots no.7 one bought last year. I'm on the way to work so can't look up the exact colour at the moment 😊

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 09/08/2017 11:04

Oooo thank you, I will look in Boots at the weekend. If you get a chance later I'd really appreciate knowing the exact shade SmileFlowers I'm always on the look out for a natural colour but find most shimmery ones a bit dated but the blue tinge really updates it!

No. Because all the hands here are young and mine have been on the planet for 60 long years.

Currently got a BlueSky colour change gel on, they're pink when it's warm and purple cold.

Those colour change ones are amazing!!! Were they done in a salon?

KatoPotato · 09/08/2017 17:21

Pink with a chrome powder on top.

Loads of pink!

OhWellNeverMindEh · 09/08/2017 22:16

The pink is very pretty, are they gels?

OhWellNeverMindEh · 09/08/2017 22:17

Polkadot - your pink (the hot pink is lovely too!)

IHaveBrilloHair · 09/08/2017 22:55

I love that polkadot
I struggle to find good pale colours as my nails are long and anything pale goes streaky unless I put on 17 coats.
Does anyone else find that no matter the brand, some shades are great and stay on, and yet another is shit?

My three favourites are Barry M, Rimmel and Leighton Denny, and that's three different colours, others in the same brand are crap.

WomblingThree · 10/08/2017 08:43

I totally agree IHaveBrilloHair. People rave about OPI and yet I have about 2 colours from them that go on well. Same with Nails Inc. I think different colours are made in different places, hence the inconsistency.

Best pale colours I have found are the new multichrome pastels from Primark. They are called Unicorn Tears or something similar, and the formula is great. My favourite formulation overall is China Glaze. I've literally never had a bad one from that brand. Essence from Wilco make really good pastels too. I find with pale colours you are better with a sheer or sheen formula than a creme or matte.

This was my last trip ☺️

Mine at the moment! Pretty pink with an opalescent pigment on my ring finger. Fancied a change from the neon purple I had last week Grin

A very gentle shimmery pink, a change from the bright turquoise I did have on

No, I do my own nails, got a lamp off Amazon and the BlueSky gel polishes are around £5 each on Amazon or eBay.

powernapsrule · 11/08/2017 07:19

Mine is shellac gel polish

@RaspberryMousse I'm looking at getting my own uv lamp, which one did you get and would you recommend it?
