I love ebay... not watching anything at the moment, my daughters watching a short wax jacket that normally sells for 65 and it's on 21, I think that ends tonight 

I've got into my nails recently too. I got a load of stuff for Christmas (all the crackle and glitter stuff) - I'm currently bright red with a hint of glitter. I'm off to look at Amazon 

My watch list astounds me because Mr C uses my account, we are currently watching a Ferrari, other assorted luxury cars, a couple of helmet cameras and several pressure washers, come the summer there will be yachts on there too!

Ditty I buy my nail paraphernalia off amazon too for the same reasons. I'm currently loving my gel nail kit.

Well that's well and truly p***ed on my bonfire. Makes my 99p top look a bit sad 

Watching only! That's what I meant, he watches stuff he has no intention of buying.

Ebay's one of the best things on the net  

 

Can find anything on there.

I have just taken off my snow leopard nails (I was so piggin proud of them...  did them by hand I did!!)...  

 

Cinds - I haven't dipped my toe into gel nails YET...   

 

SOOOO MANY PRODUCTS SOOOOO LITTLE TIME!!!!

 

 

Ickle wants me to practise whilst she is away and to get good enough to do these nails 

 

 

 

I am currently itching to get some matte top coat so I can do these.... 

 

 

 

 

The discovery of using scotch tape as masking tape has revolutionised my whole life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

oh & I want some of the colours from the OPI limited edition Skyfall range.

 

And every single shade of China Glaze polish I can get my hands on... 

 

 

I could go on.....

Jeez the signed Kate bush photo only went for £65 + £4 p&p

I have the set of two so i should be looking at £150-200 ?

Dunno Saint - ain't sold owt on there yet.

 

Might have a look at calculators first though.

 

 

Just bought these..

 

        

 

And too much more....

See if you can get me a Barbour Beacon Heritage stonksy 

 

XL 

Bits and bobs for my niece Ditty, she's 11 but she's always using my nail stuff when she's here.  So I ordered her transfers, nail glitter, brushes, nail gems, paints and a wee container thingy to keep them all in.  The container never arrived and her mum probably hates me now

 

I'll look Amazon though now because I need some fine brushes aswell for myself to doodle with  I've only mastered ladybugs so far....will need to google some easy designs and have a go.

Ooh I'm bright red too  With little black fireworks on thumbs and ring fingers.

Couldn't possibly say on an open forum Sainty 

Nothing at present but I often buy craft supplies from eBay it's ideal if you haven't got time to trek all the way to hobbycraft, or if you find they don't stock the type of thing you specifically want I've sold all sorts on there; cd's DVDs books..

You got money to burn Velvet?!?

 

Hope you used your credit card to purchase or paypal. I believe there is some protection.

 

I once won an auction and was about to pay wit paypal, the seller contacted me asking if I would send a money order as he could not accept paypal at present. I refused and did not pay.

 

He raised an incident against me, I left it and it went away.

 

I'm not a massive fan of ebay these days.

 

To answer OP : Nowt, Nowt, Nowt, Nowt.

snow leopard design...    really really easy to do..    look really impressive.

 

loads of vids on youtube

 

Ickle did her own last Thurs (& she is the worlds WORST nail polisher..  I was impressed she had the patience to see it through).

 

 

Mine were better   

 

Blogs that I find the most help are:

Next thing I need to buy is a glove for my right hand...   left hand nails = look fab, right hand nails = looks like the dog did them for me 

 

 

 

Back on the Ebay topic... 

 

have bought loads of stuff on their, a random & eclectic mix of stuff..    have sold quite a bit on there too, old iPods, camera's, & other bits of unused gadge, 

 

We often sell off stuff to help buy something new we want.. e.g.  sunglasses..    hubby was lusting after a new pair of Oakleys, so sold his old pair, along with a couple of other REALLY old pairs...  meant he could have the new ones 

 

hubby keeps an eye open for lenses for his camera on ebay (you get the odd ridiculous bargain) 

 

Dad & I used to buy & sell old (mint condition) Dinky racing cars...    sometimes buying on ebay & then selling at specialist (not online) auction, sometimes vice versa...    depending on which was profitable (had to stop that one...     Dad is a collector & kept keeping the stock for himself )

Yeah i used paypal so im hoping it will be sorted out

Love those Ditty  What brushes did you use?

EEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK:

 

 

Quadruple eeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!

yeah...   I don't like any of the 3D ones either (would drive me nuts)... 

 

 

the snow leopard nails were soooo easy... 

 

white nail varnish (2 coats)

 

then did random gold polish spots (using a cocktail stick dipped in it)

 

then did the black detailing using the black Andrea Fullerton  nail art pen I got for Christmas...  HOWEVER I reckon any fine-ish brush would do...   or even the cocktail stick..   you really don't have to be very precise (handy really cos I don't rate the black nail art pen I have...  You have to squeeze so hard to get it to work, that my thumb was going numb)..      roughly outline 3/4 or 1/2 or whole of gold spots.  

 

Fill in any gaps in the nail with little groups of tiny dots (cocktail stick.. again)..   or little splodgy lines.

 

Then topcoat!

 

Jobs a good un!

 

I was really impressed with how long it lasted..   I am terrible for picking off nail polish...   but I did my nails like this Thurs night, and they were unchipped & presentable until earlier tonight (when I couldn't resist peeling them off)

 

Ditty!!!! you have a lot to answer for woman, i am currently drooling over those Konad stampers and plates!

make sure you get the black Konad stamping polish (or white, or both)

 

normal nail varnishes don't stamp very well in black or white...    everyone swears by the Konad speshal stuff.

 

AND...   if I were you I'd buy the smallest Konad kit you can (that includes a scraper & a stamper, & hopefully some black stamping polish)... 

 

and then pay a bit more & get the bundle monster stamping plate sets..   sooooo much more for your money 

and Seche Vite topcoat..    tis the bestest 

I loooooooooove them  Sending for nail caviar and studs and alsorts as we speak.

*Opens new tab for Konad kit*

HAHAHAHAHA!

 

I would not be able to stop myself picking them off!!!!   

 

Have you seen the flocking/velvet powders?

 

 

 

 

I WANT MONSTERS INC NAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

oh god...   this is soooooo addictive! 

 

I like the ones with very little gold balls..    but it would be pointless for me...   they'd last 2 mins... 

 

And I've bought the China ?? stuff she mentioned earlier (very nice).

 

 

 

Ooooooh read that back - sounds rude - not 'she' I meant Ditty!

Was it china glaze?  I'm ebaying that now aswell  I'll be skint eastwood by the end of the night!

Then of course there are the sheets of Chanel, or Gucci etc logo decals you can buy...   so your hands match your bag   (not that I have a posh bag) 

I love those!  They look as though they might fall off easily though

China Glaze nail polish...      I thought I knew my nail polish..   somehow this brand had completely passed me by...  

 

I haven't even tried it myself yet...    I go into a paralysed state of being unable to choose which ones to get...   (my amazon wish list is HUUUUGE now)...  

 

top tip..    before you spend a lot of money on a polish (especially the special glittery ones..  google its name and the word "blog", and read some of the reviews on it first - and look at the pics..    I wish I had done this in the past..   I've had some disappointing buys from the Essie range)

I'd never be able to do those nails..    I might think I could do it..   but I know the end result would not look like that 

Gawd, I can't even be bothered to paint my nails normally

 

don't you want to play with the shiny, glittery, nail shit Saz?
