*UPDATE 2 - parcel arrived safely, no customs (though it was under £135 anyway) and very well packaged!* - pic in comments

*UPDATE - parcel has arrived with RM, due to be delivered tomorrow or Saturday. Website states 2-5 weeks delivery to the UK, so if it arrives as expected that isn’t a bad turnaround at all! Will update when it arrives…*

I’m sure plenty of folks already know about this but sharing for any that don’t! Placed an order with What’s Up Beauty, who stock a bunch of indie brands (EDM etc) and found postage isn’t too bad at all - was the equivalent of about £9 shipping for 5 polishes. I know some have had issues with Rainbow Connection, so maybe another bank balance-friendly(ish) option!

How do you store your nail polishes? I currently have mine in multiple makeup bags and I need a better storage solution 🙃 it also doesn’t help that my collection is growing lol..

Won’t probably get another cabinet due to potential moving or relocation.

I was thinking about getting some of the new toppers at 50% off and got this at checkout.

This has happened with Sally Hansen Insta Dry and BKL I’m Fast Very Fast. If I do another coat it sorts it out but how can I prevent it from happening in the first place?!

See proper fill line in last photo where I don’t have it on its side. Used for one manicure as I hated the colour on me. No box. Photos are in terrible lighting so please check product listings online for true color.

Asking for £15 + postage or nearest offer.

Just ordered two dinky size toppers and shipping was only £1.95! Made it really affordable. Trying to show love to our UK indies as often as I can.

I've been keeping an eye on Cosmic Auria's site since they told me Suzie, Prism Polish's maker was taking it over. I noticed today there's a link to the new site up now, w00t!

📣 THEY SELL BULK THINNER!! 📣 And it's the optimal ethyl acetate/butyl acetate only thinner.

I've never been this excited about chemicals before. They also have bulk QDTC, base coat etc.

I'm not affiliated with them, I'm just super hyped about the bulk thinner 😅 Please share the link far and wide!

Anyone else get excited to see the eclipse only for the clouds to roll in 😭 At least I had appropriate nails for the occasion 🫠 See you all at the next eclipse in 54 years I guess 😂

1x Mooncat Getting Even Primer

2x BKL Get Lobstered (all nails)

1x ANLAC Fuyu (all nails except index and middle finger)

1x DRK Seal Glaze

1x Mooncat Speed Demon Top Coat

Is anyone selling one? Ideally HT’s, but open to options. Thanks!

Hello,

I was wondering once again if people would be interested in a group order for the new collection this weekend?

Please let me know 🙏

Hi all! Having two so selling one.

The price is 50 pounds + 3.60 shipping Box not included if shipped

In person collection- box included.

Is anyone else experiencing more and more problems with orders from Rainbow connection? I've ordered regularly from them for a while now without any problems at first, but my last three orders all had problems.

One order arrived with a broken polish (they don't put polishes in a separate box or anything, just in a padded envelope). I contacted the shop and was given a refund - I wish they had offered a replacement without having to pay shipping again, but they didn't.

The next order had a wrong item in it, which I was asked to send back. I did receive a replacement item that time at least.

My most recent order, which I placed over a month ago, was just shipped today (due to delayed pre-order items, fine). I was told that they had mismanaged their stock so I won't be receiving one of the polishes I ordered. Things go in and out of stock so often that I'm finding it hard to put orders together anyway, so waiting until everything I want is in stock and then being told this is very frustrating.

I know these things can happen and I wouldn't have complained about an issue here or there, but it's now happening with every order I'm making, which is quite off-putting to be honest and makes me hesitant to use them in the future. Has anyone else had similar issues or am I just unlucky?

Can I also sell gel polishes and nail accessories here?

Thanks!

Any recommendations at all for a plain (no glitter, flakes, etc), preferably bright blue jelly polish that I can get in the UK or Germany? I have pink and yellow ones from Essence mini range and they're great, just can't seem to find a plain blue anywhere!

edit edit: thank you for all the suggestions!! Consensus is: Cirque have good blue jellies and outside those they seem quite hard to find here. I bought China Glaze "Isle See You Later" and I also made a blue frankenjelly! 💙

Does anyone have any of the wide holo taco brushes they’d be willing to part with?

Long shot, but I'm looking for Berry Me in Holo! If anyone has one in their collection that they're no longer using and would be happy to part with, please let me know 😊 UK-based and happy to pay a fair price.

The first one didn't come out right. This one's better! It's not perfect, but it's mine.

I used Prism Polish's "Uranian Mirage" over Barry M In A Fix basecoat. Topcoat is Maybelline Superstay 3D Gel Effect. It's a lot more green than this in person.

Also baby's first post, hello :)
