I'm excited on your behalf!

I'm just jealous that I don't have nice nails to do the same grin

???crazyH you go girl!!! that's the second time in as many weeks that someone has said that to me.
At a function I wouldn't get up to dance, but then decided to throw caution to the wind and risk an unflattering face book photo and just enjoy myself!
A very pleasant by stander nudged me and said 'about time, you go girl!'
Made my night?
PS I dont know if I ended up on fb on the end.

I am so excited for you Namsnanny ! I often have a similar binge, mostly nail polishes - you go girl!!!

Well done you Namsnanny doing your bit for the economy. Enjoy having fun with your new stuff.

Thats a good point NotTooOld

In this case I don't think I'm going to live long enough to use up all the varnish, so it's basically rubbish my descendants will have to clear away blush shock

Ooh no. Definitely don't feel guilty. Why should you? Now I'm 'of a certain age' I tell myself regularly that I can't take it with me so I may as well spend it. Unfortunately my DH doesn't always see things the same way. He hums and has over buying a new battery for his computer although I think he's coming round to my point of view slowly.

What a lovely post Thank you PollyTicklesmile

Namsnanny Thu 21-Oct-21 16:30:54

Oooh! That sounds a lovely combination of colours glammananna
I'm still old school and use varnish, I havent tried the gels. I'm not sure I want to get into buying a UV lamp and all the chemicals to remove it.
But I gather the finish is superior.

And why not ?? mine where pale blue until Monday then had them changed in the salon to lilac with white tips.

I havent bought any new make up for years and years.

I love colour and had seen some delicious nail varnishes that were winking at me for the last few weeks.
I weakened and went to the largest Boots, knowing they would have lots of stock.

I couldn't decide which one to buy, so I bought EVERY colour polish they had!
Then as if that wasn't enough I did the same with lip stick/gloss?blush!!!

All from the same range that has little or no perfume, as I am alergic to most brands.

In my defence (do I need a defense?), I havent bought any new clothes or makeup for years until two months ago for a special occasion.

I've had such a fun day messing around with it all. Every nail has two different colours on it ??

For once I threw caution to the wind and acted just on a whim!
And I loved it!!

I think I'll start to feel guilty by the weekend, but what the heck.
