I've ordered from this site!!! Of course it was international shipping rates,but even then it worked out cheaper for me than buying it retail by a LONG SHOT.

The products are great, genuine and awesome - and the shipping time was reasonable too. Don't know why they aren't reputable, I used them with no issues whatsoever. :)

Oh good! I am glad to hear that, I'll have to order from them :D
 
I really enjoy reading this thread but wish I could participate more.

I'm struggling with keeping my nails nice never mind painting them! Have resolved to use the dishwasher more and keep my hands outta the "domestic water / cleaning"...

When I got married in October I had a professional french manicure and polish done, it was so pretty. Since then I've been keeping a nail file in my handbag at all times, but my left hand (I'm a leftie) is showing me up :!

I'm a disaster at eyeliner :\ it's not the best look on my older face, I'm better with a softer, smudgy appliance!

Anyway, loving your thread and all your tips. Thanks :)
 
^^ Lovely to see you in here darlin!
I never thought liquid eyeliner suited my face either but I persisted, and now that I'm used to it, I prefer it. I do go back to the softer, smudgy pencil eyeliner occasionally though (mostly whenever I'm feeling retarded and can't get the liquid liner to be smooth and symmetrical ;))

Thanks n3o. Lol at sleek eyeliner application, maybe I need to practise more!

Don't know about you other ladies who wear specs but my eyesight is appalling for applying neat eye make up. I can always get one eye looking good but my bad one is appalling and the mis-match is so not a good look haha

I like a natural look with a good subtle base, think it suits an "ageing" face more but sometimes it's good to break out and go ott, especially for a night out or festival.

I need to get COTB's tutorials bookmarked, she's absolutely gorgeous %)

i just saw that my zoya order finally shipped out too, so this will be like christmas for me =D
 
kate- the photos I've seen of you- You don't need makeup. You have gorgeous features. <3
I too am glad to see you in here.........

I am right handed and my right hand always has shorter nails than the left :(
They're always breaking. :( The nail polish is helping though. Keeps them stronger.......
 
^^ My boyfriend's sister has the most amazing nails, seriously, it's incredible. She never paints them, never treats them, never files them, doesn't take any special care of them whatsoever (and doesn't have a very good diet or anything like that). She just leaves them au natural, and they just grow and grow and grow forever. It's criminal!

I agree with Fawkes COTB :)
The accent is super cute.

C0TB has such a lovely voice!! And her demeanour is perfect for doing those tutorial videos! <3

Thanks for the welcome ocean and n3o <3

The photos you've probably seen in the staff forum are most likely me a bit "outta it" have to say some substances are very youth educing on the face muscles / wrinkles lol :D but thank you for your kind comments.

God I'd love to have nails that grow easily, naturally and beautifully. I watch my diet and am trying my best too look after them and they still don't look that great :\

A French polish is very flattering but I'm loving the orly dazzle colour spork posted.

Tempting...think you girls are going to be a bad influence on me :D
 
Aw guys, thank-you sooo much for the compliments on the tutorial! I'm so glad you're all getting something out of it. They're such fun to put together, I really get a kick out of it. :)

All of the nail colours on this page are amazing! spork, I love Savina Wisteria - pinky purples are one of my polish weaknesses!

Speaking of which, I've been looking around for cheap nail wheels recently. I've decided I need to stop myself from buying such similar shades all the time. I have numerous pinks, purples, blues and greens and it's hard to remember the shades when I'm ordering.
Does anyone know of a place that sells them cheaply? And most importantly, ships to Australia?

For the nail plates, do they require a special kind of polish or anything, or can you just use any regular polish? I've been looking for some plates and found some really cool designs :D
 
Thanks for the help COTB! I will trying that look out here in the next week. When I think I have it I'll get you a pic.

I tried a purple smokey eye tonight. Not great for me but looks ok.
Don't mind the helmet, I just didn't want it to be another boring pic...

But then you couldn't see my hair. I bought a round brush ad did a blow out. I kinda wish I had a 3rd hand though. Maybe I should have watched some tutorials to make it easier...

Black Shatter is STILL not available at my local store. I keep calling each week and they assure me it's on the next shipment, but it never is. Has anyone else gotten their hands on a bottle?

Also, my Zoya order is still in stage 1 - open order. I keep reading on here and FB about ladies receiving their orders and Zoya's super fast shipping, and mine hasn't even been picked from the warehouse yet! I know they processed something like 300,000 orders, so I need to be patient but I want that polish!

/end rant :!

I am going to pick it up very, very soon...I shall let you know how well it works and etc

But in black of course.

I'm still trying to find a look (well find myself really). This is what I wore out tonight (close up so you can see the eyeshadow) but I don't really like it.

Zoya order:

And I totally splurged and bought this:

My pics will hopefully follow soon.

COTB- love the Russian Red!

And word out on the new Tronica collection is not so great. They're not linear holos. Seems like we'd be better off with holos from either GOSH or Nfu-oh.

O-M-G where can I purchase that beautiful gold polish???

Oh and do you mean the Tronica collection by China Glaze? If so...I only own Gamer Glam so far and it is a lovely color
 
I had an engagement party just a few weeks before Christmas, so I got a double whammy of presents! My fiancée got me a beautiful pair of Louboutin's (that I'll probably never wear in fear of scratching them) -- and some amazing La Prairie make-up/skin products, which I have to say are really honestly worth all the fuss...

At my Saks Fifth Avenue store they offer a service where they will take your Loubis and have some sort of red rubbery sole placed onto the bottom of your shoe so 1) you will not slip and fall 2) the soles will still be red 3) no scratches!
 
lol I'm sorry, I'm sure this isnt what you mean but I just have this image of someone trying to wash their hair with their feet.... do you mean rubbing the shampoo over your toes or something? Rather than actually washing your hair with your toes? :D

This happens because the hot water destabalises the polish on the skin :) When i've had a shower, if i've been in there for a little bit, i can literally rub the polish off my skin.
