My crappy little nails/dupe for dior nail glow?

ChinBristles · 24/07/2022 19:42

As you can see, i have small hands and nails. I like them short, dont like the feeling of short nails.

What do u suggest re polish? Coral looks ok in summer but im thinking a natural look otherwise. Any cheap dupes for dior nail glow? Or shld i just spend the £18?!

I think there might be a nails inc dupe. Not sure if it's much cheaper though, maybe £13?

ChinBristles · 24/07/2022 19:49

Thanks, have you tried it? Any good?

I meant to say, btw, that I don't like the feeling of LONG nails on me. I like to keep them v short.

I haven't tried the nails inc one - just saw it in a magazine advertised. I have tried nail glow - it was nice but not worth £20 imo.

I wish rimmel.would bring back their clear pink nail varnish. Was brilliant at adding a rosy tint

Orly do a few (pinky, orangey, plumy etc) . I bought mine on ebay. I've got 2, the pinky and the plumy. Not much difference in it, they make your nails look lovely.

MistyRock · 25/07/2022 06:07

Orly French manicure in Bare rose. Orly Beverly Hills French manicure in Beverly Hills plum. Both nice. My favourite is the rose one.

It was a lot cheaper when I bought it so have a look around for a good deal. It is definitely a clear tint but the photo makes it look opaque.

I think the pink one in here is the Nails inc dupe? I've not tried it but I love the dior glow.

cherrypiepie · 25/07/2022 08:40

I got the Dior nail glow and use it on mum and she bought the nails inc dupe and says it's rubbish!

cherrypiepie · 25/07/2022 08:44

@ChinBristles that's the one.

I paid £18 on Amazon.

The nails inc one is two parts.
Here is the Dior one before and after

I’ve got the Essie one- I find it lasts longing than the Doir. The Dior colour also looks a bit too pink on me. I’m converted to Essie hard to resist.

Le mini macaron je glow nail brightener - absolutely amazing

ChinBristles · 25/07/2022 17:36

Thanks, going to buy a few of these and will try to remember to report back!

ChinBristles · 25/07/2022 17:39

@cherrypiepie do you use 1 polish one after the other? Or on different bits of the nail?

@Shiremum40 @MurderAtTheBeautyPageant pls can you send me links to the one you have? Amazon seems to have a few options for Essie Hard to Resist.

Thanks!

I also have short tubby little nails and prefer them short now.

I actually like bright colours on mine. Hot pink and bright red. I think red works on shorter nails cos it's not trying to look sexy.

I use Sally Hansen Miracle gel polish. It lasts about a week at a time.

Fellow small hand/fingers and small nail bed person !I had one recommended today. Essie Pink Glove Service- a transparent pink which looks the biz!

Gatekeeper · 25/07/2022 19:25

and bums...can't find any in UK

ChinBristles · 25/07/2022 20:40

The Royal Family wear Essie Ballet Slippers but I didn't get on well with that.

@ chin bristles only used the Dior which is one or two coats slapped on with no talent Grin

ChinBristles · 25/07/2022 21:26

@cherrypiepie thanks. Ah, so you haven't tried the nails inc one in the 2 bottles.

I've ordered the dior glow. One bottle, one application, sound about enough for me!
