Oh that's a bummer. I don't understand why only 70 branches as well? I thought about ordering online, but now even the store collection isn't free unless you order for £25 and I really don't need anything else from Boots right now. Will check Kingstoin next week though and see if they have it.Guildford doesn't have them yetI keep checking. I'll let you know as soon as they do though

It says on their website that delivery to branch is free if you spend £20 or more. The SAs in my Boots weren't aware of a minimum spend.
If you phone Boots Customer Services, they should be able to tell you which branches near you stock a particular product. Does seem a bit unfair to charge for delivery to branch if it's their fault the branch doesn't stock it

Yeah okay, £20, but still, it's too much because I don't want anything else right now. Never mind, I'm not that fussed, I haven't even tried my Nails Inc magnetic polish, maybe I'll hate it anyway, lol.It says on their website that delivery to branch is free if you spend £20 or more.

Official17 have been tweeting about the magnetized nail polish, so I asked about the availability issue. This is what they said:
"they were just pre launched in our top 70 stores, will be launched in more and more boots stores over next couple of months"
so keep an eye out - we might get them in our local branches yet
Off to Sainsburys now, in the heat

weirdly after being told my boots were not getting them - i saw them on the shelf today! so i bought the green, blue and purple and have tried them out already on a finger! they are very cool and i am lookimg forward to playing with them! i feel like the thicker the coat the more defined the pattern is.Official17 have been tweeting about the magnetized nail polish, so I asked about the availability issue.

I emailed MAC about when the collection comes online (fall colour) and they said between the first and third so more than likely before tuesday if they where telling the truth

It probably will be the Monday then, they often bring them forward like that. Doubt it that anything would happen on Sunday.I emailed MAC about when the collection comes online (fall colour) and they said between the first and third so more than likely before tuesday if they where telling the truth
monday would be good because i am off work and will be going food shopping very early and then home cleaning for the rest of the day

Has anyone tried the magnetic polishes yet? I've just painted my nails with the Nails Inc one (purple) and I have to say, it's really frustrating, I kept touching my nail with the magnet. Also the patterns don't seem very even, some nails are only half done. Plus the top coat messed up the pattern a bit, I guess I should've waited for it to dry more, but it's 10.30 already. I don't know if it's worth all the hassle, maybe it takes practise.
i had a go trying mine out and i hit my nail once. it was a little annoying because it messed the pattern up. i also think the thicker the coat the more obvious the pattern is. i shall be filming me using them today at some point so i shall see how it goes! i shall make sure i wait for a little while to apply top coat!
I bought the 17 smokey teal one yesterday, I had a go on a couple of nails just to try it out and it worked alright. I don't know about the Nails Inc ones, but the 17 ones have a little plastic thing on top that rests on your finger to help you get the magnet in the right place each time and not touch your nail. I think I still need a little practice but so far it did not seem like too much of a disaster.Has anyone tried the magnetic polishes yet?

Does anyone know if MAC Face and Body foundation is available only at freestanding stores? I went by my counter yesteray to look for it but couldn't see it (counter was being mobbed with people so did not stay around long enough to ask!). I ended up getting a Lancome foundation instead, but would still like to try the F&B at some point...
Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine!

Yes, the Nails Inc ones have the little plastic thingy. I still managed to touch my nails with the magnet. Maybe it's just me. Also I noticed that if the polish was not even (which is pretty hard to do with one coat), then the pattern didn't come out even, it only shows on the slightly higher bits (like if I managed to do two strokes in one place and there's more nail polish there, the pattern will be there only). Does this make sense? It sort of looks cool, but I'm still not convinced. I will try the 17 ones if I manage to buy some and compare, maybe the formula is better, since the Nails Inc glitter crackle ones were a fail, it wouldn't surprise me if a cheaper brand was once again better than Nails Inc. Thankfully I only paid £7 for this through Buyapowa.
The only issue I have right now is that the polish chips really easily. I painted my nails about 6 hours ago and have a small chip
I'm a little annoyed at that

Yeah, the Nails Inc one has chipped on me in a few places within less than 24 hours.The only issue I have right now is that the polish chips really easily. I painted my nails about 6 hours ago and have a small chip
Ooh, pretty!
I have this and I really love it, both the blushes and the eyeshadows. http://www.spacenk.co.uk/product/makeup/palettes/silk+road+palette.do Oh and I was really lucky to have picked this up on eBay for less than half the price (very very slightly used): http://www.spacenk.co.uk/product/shop+by+brand/chantecaille/200007502+the+new+classic+palette.doYes, I have the Silk Road palette too - it's so lovely. I wore it a lot to work in spring, it's just soft and pretty and not too OTT. Love the Chantecaille palette - I always like the look of their palettes but they are so extortionately priced. That was quite a bargain you got!Ooh, pretty!
wow!! to get it less than half price is awesome! really nice shades too!

Chantecaille is always much much cheaper on eBay because nobody in their right mind would pay £75+ for their palettes and powders, lol. I did once, but not since, I have managed to snag an 8 colour palette once for something like 30 quid. Worth keeping an eye out for them if you're interested.wow! that seems really good value for all that you get! i have never used any laura mercier items before and it seems like a nice starter kit
