Latest purchases

62 brand new CND Vinylux polishes. I can't buy enough for people! They are AMAZING!

I had them all in their little stand and when my daughter came into the livingroom, I thought she was gonna explode.

I'm on mobile data and the pics won't load

Aargh Linzi, that sounds awesome! I'm going to get some either Monday or Tuesday, can't wait

Oh they are totally awesome! It'll be worth the wait!

They launched on Weds 1st May and I got mine last Saturday. Is it normal to be SO excited about polish?

I painted my toes, waited the 8.5 minutes and put some socks on... perfect polish with no marks at all.

I also have five packs of the minis - how cute are they!? And awesome for trying out the different colours.

And about a million more glitters and foils (if the fella asks, I've had them for ages, right? *angel*)

I wanna stress that these are not my toes (I did do them, they're just don't belong to me) but I adore the colour. Mermaidy style, under the water; sweet pastels in a 50s style, etc are the nails to be wearing this Summer btw.

Oh yea, I also have microplane foot files, and massage candles... everyone who knows me who has a birthday in the summer will be getting a few each of those. Omg, they are absolutely amazing. Beautiful, soft feet here we come

Thankyou

Where can you buy the Vinylux please? And how much?

Yup, I'd like to know where these are available from too please Linzi.

My purchases today can't compete but I picked up a twinpack of Colorclubs in TK Maxx (they only had three sets in total, a twinpack of 2 full sized in red and silver or green and blue, I went for the latter as the blue looked really intense - or one set of Fiesta minis) for £3.99; Instadris in Lime and pink for stamping from Poundland and a couple of Asda dark metallics, also look good for stamping (all the regular Asda ones are a quid at the mo).

You can buy it from any salon/nail tech who has it and the RRP is 9.95 (or 15.95 if purchasing a colour and base together).

The 4-pack of pinkies is 19.95 and includes the top coat.

You don't use a basecoat with vinylux - the colour coat has little anchors in it which make it adhere to the nail and you MUST use the topcoat when using the colour. Vinylux topcoat has pro-light technology in it (that's why it's in a coated bottle) which encourages the topcoat to harden over the course of the week

Or you can buy it on ebay for 7.71... and 55.88 postage

Haha

I'm skint after last weekend but everyone's going mad for it, which is awesome. It goes on so smoothly as well.

Oh dear, I thought you were joking about the postage!

I've had a small haul today!
In poundland I brought two Sally Hansen Crackles - Fractured Foil (Silver) and Vintage Violet (Purple)
Then in Boots I brought Sinful Colors Hottie and Nail Junkie.
I the went to the other boots in town and found a Sally Hansen I had been wanting - Mermaids tale.
Ithencame home to find my 3 Femme Fatale polishes I brought from Sally had arrived - Stars Lament, Suspended Starlight and Hydraxia.

A quick google brings up this site

No, I thought it was a joke too when I saw it!

I haven't used them before, so don't know whether or not to recommend them or not but I'm sure they can't be far wrong.

I have 5 that I can pop in the post if anyone wants to try?

Last month I finally treated myself to OPI liquid sands in stay the night and the impossible.
Both from ebay one UK seller and one USA seller.
I have been lemming after them since last year so decided to get them in April in my buy month. Back on another two month no buy but I did manage to get 40 odd polishes in April thanks to sinful being on 3 for 2 and Barry m being on 3 for 2.
Prior to that I had been on a three month no buy.

I have swatched them all today on my plastic sticks and I will do my spreadsheet later or tomorrow but I do know I have over 300 now probably nearer to 350

Thanks Loola

That Gilded Pleasure looks nice

Took a little trip to my local Sally's today, got Kalahari Kiss for £1.28, pretty happy with that, there wasn't much else in the clearance pile but they don't tend to get many china glaze and opi ranges in. The latest china glaze they had in was the avant garde and when I asked about the neons she only knew texture was due in soon. I saw OPI happy anniversary which is must better in real life so might have to make another fragrance direct order soon, same for me I have already ordered recently else I could have saved on postage.

I got Sinful colors All mighty from a poundshop, I got the Rimmel dupe for OPI I juggle men, was pretty happy with that, can't remember which post I read it on and who posted it but thankyou so much. It is very pretty and only cost £1.

BF sparkley number 18, a light blue shimmery shade with hex glitters, it looks like a mermaids tail and only cost £1.49.

Gorgeous selection of bargainous gains there Jasmina, well done! Love the BF in particular

Ooooh I want that BF one!

They have loads of wonders in that shop but I couldn't go crazy, definitely think I will be back next month.

Awesome, thanks for the link, I knew I had seen it but couldn't find it and me and the search button wasn't getting on at all. Wouldn't even display any results for "OPI" come on it's mentioned all the time - I must need adult supervision at all times.

Don't worry Jasmina, it's not just you. I can never find anything using the search facility either. I just happened to remember the post you were referring to.

I'm impressed - I can barely remember where I saw something - here or FB or the telly or........ Let alone who posted it!
Glad you found some Jasmina.
