This is two coats of IJM over (l to R)
Black,OPI Germanicure,Barry M Navy, one coat over black,Sinful Cinderella,Nails Inc Emerald Street,Barry M purple Gelly,OPI Bastille My Heart. It's a bit dull outside so the colours aren't great but you can see how subtle IJM is Smile

Thanks so much for that Sue, it actually looks like one I might get some use out of Very Happy

Jasmina Sat Apr 27, 2013 11:56 pm

I like that over the darker shades, thank you for posting Sue. It is very subtle but I also think it would be perfect for client meetings at work. I bet they wouldn't even bat an eyelid at fancy nail art but I feel like I shouldn't in case it doesn't look professional. It was so much easier when I had a different role, not that I want to downgrade.

I actually like it a bit more now I've done a few more swatches,it may be a keeper after all Smile

Ta dah, it's nice falling in love with a polish again.

Looks lovely over the Barry M Navy - might have to recreate that myself!

Oh bugger, I Juggle Men looks nice. That's another one to add to my list then! Laughing

LoolaBeanbag wrote:They do work well Hanspan, they're really pigmenty. I reckon a bottle of polish has certain elements in varying proportions - the pigment, the shine and the stuff that makes it dry. If you have one that has plenty of pigment it takes longer to dry or isn't very glossy and vice versa. The insta dri ones seem to be high on the pigment and less of the shine but they seem to be even on the dry-ey stuff so they work OK.
IMO generally jellies take ages to dry because they're all gloss therfore less dry-ey stuff, the quick dries don't shine as they're all pigment and less gloss, the one coat ones are a bit flat as they're are all pigment and have less gloss and dry-ey stuff.
I need to get out more.......

Haha. Shouldn't we all;)
I shall go revisit the shopping bag I think - although I suspect OH has closed the screen and I'll have to godo battle with that rather irritating website again.

I am a cheapskate! And to me the Rimmel Rock your colour glitter topcoat in 001 blue glitter club I got for £1 looks pretty much the same to me. I'll see if I can find my swatches and post later but, in the meantime, here's link to someone else's:

Don't think I have ever seen that one in the shops, I have seen a pale gold version for £4 something I think. I like Rimmel but some of them are small bottles. The ones I have got from pound shops are bigger, was this a poundland bargain or discontinued?

Poundland in Hemel Hempstead. Actually might have been some other £1 shop. Sorry - I have a brain like a sieve!

If I see it again (very unlikely as I rarely see the shops) I'll buy several!

Fragrancedirect has OPI's for £3.99 at the moment

Babafette Tue Apr 30, 2013 4:19 am

I couldn't resist the OPI on Fragrance Direct. Embarassed

I've just ordered I Juggle Men, Care to Danse?, Vampsterdam and Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI.

Ha, ha, don't worry about it Sal, somebody else posted about the OPI on Fragrance Direct previously so I've had my eye on them for a week or so. Laughing

I managed to resist for a while, but I'm having a crap day so I just ordered some to cheer myself up. Embarassed

Sally Magpie Tue Apr 30, 2013 4:49 am

I think I want polka.com. But I don't get on with OPI.

Do need one of the new minnie mouses though.
