I generally find Boots pretty uninspiring - I still have over 70 quids worth of points from the YSL glitch in April and haven't managed to spend them yet. If anyone has any top tips for Boots must haves I'd love to hear them!

Does your local boots sell Essie? Mine has 2 gift sets and are gorgeous, currently on buy one get one half price.

I would grab a bottle of opi nail envy an thr save the nail ridge filling basecoat.

You can spend points online now though.

Butter London is available online

Do you like caviar nails? Models own and bourjois have sets, I even saw neon which is tempting (I haven't tried mine from Xmas yet)

Oooh, I didn't know they did Butter London Jasmina, that would definitely be one I'd look at. It would have to be online for me, the local Boots is tiny.
I thought about some Nail Envy but I bought some Matte stuff from amazon when it was cheap and I picked up a bottle of slightly used stuff on eBay for £3.00.
Thanks Jasmina x

I ordered Spot Light and Dreamy Glitter by NYX the other day and they arrived this morning. They're both gorgeous and only cost £5 together with free delivery. Very Happy

I just bought the ASDA denim, so I'll try that out later.

I was only after Dreamy Glitter and it was on Amazon for £1.99 but with £4.95 delivery. Surprised

Babafette Fri Jun 21, 2013 7:32 am

Thanks Muffy, I'll go and have a look. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I bought a couple of NYX from there too - no problems at all Very Happy

buys and swaps with Princess Sossidge

I had already bought the 3 gellys with vouchers but only swatched them yesterday and the rest were dodgy dealings with Princess Sossidge

She got my Barry M pens as there is no way I can ever create the magic she does and mine were still sealed
so win win

excuse the flash it no longer works properly since my I dropped my phone down the toilet

Models Own Pro ordered from Boots online. OK, so they were reduced but I still don't class this as acceptable. All 9 are filthy (it's ingrained, won't wipe off), scuffed and downright minging!

I have that green one too Sue, but still haven't managed to get hold of the black and white one.

I will keep my eyes peeled for you Loola Smile

Thanks Sue! The only places I've seen them (well, empty of half empty displays) are Boots and Superdrug. Boots don't have them online and they've been OOS at Superdrug for weeks (I have them on stock alert. Desperado or what?!!!). Very Happy

ninjablossom Thu Jun 27, 2013 6:09 am

thats not acceptable Loola. I'd complain.

The excitement of ordering and getting such pretty new polishes for them to arrive tarnished must be devastating. Lay it on thick. Smile

Jasmina Thu Jun 27, 2013 6:12 am

The packer should have been throughly ashamed of that! The wouldn't shift in store for that money, plus I don't think it's that obvious on the website they are reduced from £8 so others may have been throughly fooled. I think they should refund the value in points and let you keep them.

I've used their contact form and given them a summary of the problem (using the words 'kicked around the warehouse floor....') and in addition asked for an email address that I can send the photos to. Even if they had been reduced due to damage there was no mention on the site, an important detail to omit where consumer rights are concerned!

Will let you know how I get on, thanks for your support Jasmina & Ninja Very Happy

To offset the nark, the Chanel Azure is perfectly gorgeous Cool

Thanks for the photos ladies. Very Happy

I've just bought a Sally Hansen Nail Prisms from eBay. The photo wasn't very clear so hopefully it will be a good one! tongue

Well it was my birthday last week so i had to treat myself Smile

I bought some Kiko's in their half price sale, and a few bits from Sally magpies Very Happy

Went shopping with bf and he bought me one of those beaded manicure sets for £1.99
Had fun trying it out, those beads get everywhere Embarassed

Will upload some pics when he gets around to uploading them from his phone Rolling Eyes

Then got home from work today and had a small parcel with 2 stamping plates from Vivid Laquer that i had forgot i ordered Embarassed

LoolaBeanbag Tue Jul 02, 2013 5:26 am

Oooh, I keep looking at those but I have resisted. So far.
I think instead of a 'no buy' I might put myself on a 'wow buy', i.e. will only buy if I'm totally floored by a beautiful polish and absolutely have to own it. (Like the trio I bought on eBay earlier Embarassed

but it was the Mac Venomous Villains complete with Bad Fairy!).
I can but try.....

ninjablossom Tue Jul 02, 2013 8:47 pm

quiet on here again. will be visiting (deliberately detouring) Westfield later, I shall be visiting kilo and models own Smile
