I did pick up Sally Hansen Yellow Kitty and Revlon Sunshine Sparkle in Poundland, but these were about the only two 'non chit chat' bottles that they had. Dire, dire dire.....
I spent my Sally's vouchers, got a bottle of Gelous, some CG cuticle oil and CGs in Tree Hugger and Fancy Pants, but there wasn't a great selection at all.
A fairly depressing shopping spree, I was going to use up my Llarowe credit tonight, but I'm really not in the zone now, I think I'll go paint instead to cheer myself up!!

Hey Loola- my tk maxx still has color club sets in- I went back for backstage today! Shall I pick one up for you? Smile

I have been resisting going to tk maxx for ages as I'm meant to be in a ban! (Hahaha I really don't know why I say that!) but keep getting tempted.

Mine normally has nothing in anyway. Keep hoping for a color club but no luck so far!

TKMaxx has been good to me the last few weeks, 2 different ones mind. But both good - however I have never seen Orly in there, hope i do soon!

I was going to post almost exactly the same earlier! I had a fruitless trip to TK Maxx and Superdrug Sad

TL Maxx just has some Nails Inc,Leighton Denny and a Seche Vite French manicure set and Superdrug didn't even have any NYC Sad

Was it a Gelous top coat you got? If so, could you let me know how you get on with it? Thanks!

Blurry helll...! I have only 2 TKs within striking distance, one is tiny but is town based so I went for that one thinking that Superdrug wouldn't fail to disappoint as a back up. The other TK is on an estate flanked by only Matalan, Sports Direct and another crap shop. Both are a 20 minute drive away and have shocking parking options (I have an 8 seater tank to make it even trickier..!)
SueD, I gought the Gelous 'Advanced nail gel coat' and intend to use it as a top - am just about to try it over Kiko sugar mat (640, it's so sparkly and knocks spots off the OPI ones I reckon, love it especially muchly I love you

)

SueD Sun Mar 17, 2013 11:27 pm

Can you let me know how it turns out over the Kiko? I haven't tried out my Sugar Mat yet, I got the black one,Starry night Smile

Where did you get the euro centrale minis from, all the sets I have seen have different colours and I prefer yours. I already have polka.com but these look cute.

star_struck Tue Mar 19, 2013 9:28 am

These are full size bottles not minis. Got the from QVC, but they came as a package with the nail envy.

Jasmina Wed Mar 20, 2013 3:59 am

Oh cool, thanks for letting me know.

Babafette Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:09 am

Lots of nail mail for me today - some lovely OPIs from mrsmoore2b, my Glitzology haul and a vintage OPI eBay purchase. Very Happy

SueD Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:20 am

I ordered some of the china glaze textures Friday and they arrived today. Well technically yesterday but I had to go pick them up!

The ice neon already in my local boots, couldn't resist 3 for 2.
No mention in the stand about keeping them in the fridge- the bottle doesn't either, just advises it is Matt effect.
I will be keeping these in my helmer.

The scented smell gorgeous with the scratch n sniff, hope it's as good for the actual dried product.

shoppingaddict Thu Mar 21, 2013 10:58 pm

Ohhhhh they do look good. Can help thinking that the scented polishes are too much there other pastel range!

I only have lemon meringue from the previous collection. I can see subtle differences but probably not enough to warrant purchasing, the yellow just looked like standard yellow pastel, I loved the banana smell but as I don't wear yellow a lot it was an easy pass.

A quick swatch did reveal yummy smells - I am a sucker for gimmicks.

LoolaBeanbag Thu Mar 21, 2013 11:52 pm

Have you tried the Color Club Copycoats Jasmina? I keep stumbling across these but they're not for me even though I love a good gimmick too (although I still haven't worn my Color Club Ruby Wings yet....)

Another trip out today:

Frilly knickers
West end wonderland
I left 2 other colours behind- that is far as my restraint has gone today. I have bought 21 bottles today!
My only salvation is they weren't full price.
