This thread coincided with one of my sporadic urges to paint my nails (usually unsuccessfully) . Tesco had Barry M and I chose a blue in the gelly range because of the recommendation here. Best ever result. Not perfect but acceptable. GD (4) then wanted 'Frozen' nails followed by a request for same for her twin brother. Nails still okay 2 days later. Hoping won't dry outnailsundereath like the Professional Shellac I had done a couple of times

Evening all.
As I usually wear open toed Birkenstoks (sp?) this time of year, I always have painted toe nails, usually either a peach colour, or a sort of toffee brown, or (if I'm wearing certain shoes) a Rimmel polish called "Double Decker" (no prizes for guessing the colour of that one!)
I went completely mad today and bought (and applied) a matt polish by Rimmel that I can't now find the name of 
I love it!
It is a sort of turquoise colour, and matches exactly some of the stones in a necklace that I sometimes wear to offset a black top.
OK, It may seem that I'm waffling, (which I am) but this is my first venture into the world of green/blue nail polish, when I first saw it years ago on a work colleague, I thought it looked bleurgh!
Nandalot I love the idea of 'Frozen' nails - especially on a boy! 
Blinko what shade did you buy? I am at our caravan on holiday this week and fancy something new!
One time I was putting polish on my toes with one foot on the loo, I dropped the brush in the loo and it left 2 splashes of a bright tomato red on the side before landing in the water (clean thank goodness 
), plus another at the bottom. It did come off with remover and I couldn't see any sign of damage to the porcelain, but it scared the wits out of me so I stopped using the loo for this purpose! One good thing was my DH was out, so he never found out
Why were you so scared, Wilma?
For one thing the bathroom was less than 6 months old!
