wow that sucks! at £11 you'd think it would be one of the best!!While we're on polishes, I bought the new Westend glitter crackle polish from Nails Inc and it doesn't crackle at all! Bloody rubbish. I also got the City (purple one) and that was a bit rubbish at crackling too, but this takes the prize for the worst crackle polish ever. £11 a bottle as well, not cheap at all! Grr!
You can also get the China Glaze polishes from Sally Beauty Supply stores in the UK - they're only about £4-5. There are a few of them around the place and they're worth checking out if there's one near you - they have so many goodies!I've just bought 3 China Glaze nail polishes from the summer collection, my first ones ever. I got the blue one, the pink one and the purple one. Sorry, the names escape me, but I think the blue one is the Blue Iguana Lou featured on the blog? I got them from a UK seller (RadiantBabe-Beauty) for £7.99 each, quite pricey, but didn't feel like fafing about with US ebay sellers. I have ordered 2 Zoya sets from eBay though and that was fine.
Could be flukes in the batch? Maybe leave a comment on Nails Inc facebook page - I've seen people leave comments on there and normally they'll replace them for you.
oh wow! if i had a spare £37 i'd totally buy it! how pretty!Sigh. Right when I am completely out of makeup budget, of course NARS sends out an email to say their Pleasures of Paris palette (which has been out of stock for nearly a year now!!) is back in stock. I will have to hope it stays in stock for a few more weeks, I've wanted it for aaaages and it's such a lovely palette for autumn. (I'm also going to Paris in autumn, can that be another reason for needing it?)

imwith MAC
They took my order online, last Tuesday for Groundcover eyeshadow from Fashion flower, they took the money from my account and I got my dispatch email last Thursday, but there was no Yodel tracking number?
It still hasn't arrived, so I just rung MAC, apparently they sent me the wrong email, I should have got an out of stock email and a refund but didn't.
Because I thought it was on its way I didn't go to the counter at the weekend, i just rung them and they are sold out too.
I am so dissapointed, I don't think I am going to order online from MAC again.
oh that's really great service of them!Contacted Nails Inc re the glitter crackle polishes and was told I can choose one each of the original crackle polishes as replacement, they'll be sent free of charge and I don't have to return the glitter ones. That's alright I guess. I was complimented on my nails today twice though, once by my 10-year-old daughter and once by another Mum at school, they look pretty cool, if you don't know they were supposed to crackle.
that's pretty cool!I told my sister to go to Muji today while she was in town and she got me the 2 drawer acrylic storage thingy! I wanted the 3 or 5 drawer one but she said the didn't have any :/ Oh well I'm happy with what I got
Yay!! I collected mine from the delivery office todayI told my sister to go to Muji today while she was in town and she got me the 2 drawer acrylic storage thingy! I wanted the 3 or 5 drawer one but she said the didn't have any :/ Oh well I'm happy with what I got

Happy note - I won the Beauty UK crackle polishes on Friday and got them today. Really wasn't expecting them to arrive so soon. I LOVE the silver crackle. It's so damn pretty I put it on today. I did a shitty job applying polish today but that's because my Barry M black polish was super frigging goopy. I need to buy a nail polish thinner, or just another black polish. Refuse to put polish remover in there as it can ruin it.
Also - I'm trying to quit smoking. I've probably had about 3 in the past 48hrs. This is major considering I usually smoke 20 in a day. The withdrawal isn't too bad, however I'm exhausted. So, so tired I feel like I could sleep for a week. I know it's due to not smoking as much as usual and it's so exhausting I almost want to smoke more just so I can feel more awake, but I'm resisting. I'm quite bitchy, too, which is horrible. I hate being so moody but there's nothing I can do about it. I really want to save money by quitting, or at least cutting down dramatically. I'll feel less guilty about buying make-up etc if I do. Bahhh, I'll do it. I know I will. It's just frustrating.
good luck with quitting smoking. it must be extremely hard. but just think of all the money you are going to save!Happy note - I won the Beauty UK crackle polishes on Friday and got them today.
