Nail polish - chit chat

I have the sensationail kit, it’s pretty good. I can get 7-10 days before the nails chip or 7 days just using bluesky from ebay (much cheaper).

I got fed up with the length of time to remove though, so went back to Essie with Seche Vitte top coat which lasts pretty well (without the SV, they’d chip after a day).

I’m getting them done at a salon at the moment though, it’s a treat to myself

Oooer, so it was. I’ll take a look. Bet our branch hasn’t got any, though. TK Maxx is a total crapshoot! :joy:

I also live in the Norwich area! Suprerdrug has a super good load of stuff! As has Sally’s, you don’t have to have a trade card to shop there. But it isn’t super cheap!

I did all my fingers and toes last night with my buffer (and some of the Poundland Cuticle Oil), and they look so much better. :slightly_smiling_face::+1: I think I actually prefer my fingernails like this over the nail polish. They are so pink and shiny. :slightly_smiling_face:

I (very reluctantly) removed the Weekend Millionaire from my toes so I could do them too, and they came up a treat as well :+1: However I much prefer having a bit of colour on those, so I will be opting for the Weekend Millionaire and the Essie Reign Check for Nail Day tomorrow. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah, Superdrug is good innit, and the staff are really nice too. I’ve never tried Sally’s - where is it?

BTW, that cosmetics shop I was on about a few posts back is the one just down from the Guildhall, on the same side as Tesco Metro. Small, but very well stocked, and surprisingly good prices. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice one, glad it worked!

Nice! Just as a thought - I hope I don’t get in trouble for mentioning the company name as LH doesn’t sell nail stuff - but if you ever feel like an indulgent treat, Tropic sell a lovely nail set. It comes with an oil with some fancy bits, some fancy creams and a 4sided buffer.

It is between £18 and £20 but it is am indulgent treat and a lovely idea for Christmas. They are an eco friendly company too so the ingredients should be nice a gentle.

Anyway it might not be your thing but thought I’d mention it as I got one for Christmas last year and loved it!

ETA - I’m not sure why my quote didn’t work, I must have types something wrong. I’ll just tag you lol @Ian_Chimp

No worries. As you say, LH doesn’t do nail stuff, so we can fill our boots. And our superdrugs. :wink:

Well, in theory, I guess if a competitor in the sex toy trade started selling nail polish, it wouldn’t be a wise idea to mention them - but like as if THAT’s going to happen! :joy:

Oh but could you imagine some of the potential colour names?? :rofl: the first one that popped into my head is “spanked scarlet” :innocent: think we should petition @Lovehoney_Brenna to suggest it? :wink:

You need to have the start of the quote on a separate line (“I did all my fingers…”). :+1:

I’ll have a look at that Tropic one. Thank you. :slightly_smiling_face: I’m going to raid Mrs Chimp’s M&S calendar stash/backlog next. I’m hoping there’s a few bits in there she’s overlooked. :slightly_smiling_face::crossed_fingers:

Just had another look at the nail polish thread, there’s so many gorgeous colours. I wondered what people’s “go-to” colours are, so thought I’d do a little poll to see what comes out on top…

What’s your go-to nail colour?
  • Never enough nude
  • Blazingly bright
  • Marvellous matte
  • Shimmer and sparkle
  • Pretty pastels
  • Dark and dangerous

@SexInTheCity - I ticked 3 options (cos it allowed me to) - is that alright? I wasn’t sure whether or not you wanted us to just choose one! :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes absolutely - there’s no rules here I’m just intruiged by what people go for when it comes to colour. Think multiple options will give a better overall perspective of what people’s favourites are, so it’s totally allowed!

Everytime I get my nails done, there’s always some sparkle in there!

Although I’m a huuuuge fan of foils. Stuck with them for a few months, just mixed up the base colour and foils :blue_heart:

Haha they’re not my nails if there’s no glitter somewhere :joy:

They’re removed with cotton pads soaked in Acetone (you can pick up a massive bottle for not much) which then are wrapped on each finger with tin foil and left for 20 mins :slight_smile:

I’m honestly enchanted by it! The polish was a nightmare to work with, but damn it’s just so pretty!
