Tbh I tend to use decals etc on plain nails so might get the Seche Vite for that work, or get a mini and see how I get on with it, thanks ladies :)

I think I'm probably just clumsy then, lol
If I put a thin coat on I usually miss a bit. And if I put a blob on it take AGES to dry and I mess it up, or it chips off in chunks. Maybe its a basecoat/polish collision or something... I don't think I have any rimmel polish anymore to try. (Most likely dodgy application on my part!)
Its done a great job on my xbox controller buttons though :D
Might have another go later, try and get the hang of it. I did give up pretty quickly. I culled my nails recently, every colour looks a bit weird whatever I do

Mac cosmetics are my favorite, but a great tip I've always told people for blending. Windshield wipers. And little circles. Makes magic.
Apparently they've brought out a Clarisonic MIA 2 in the states, which is a bit annoying because God knows when we'll get them, I don't know whether it'll be worth the wait or not... :/
Might be a stupid question, but do they provide much fall out (I know they're pressed but still :P)?Quote:

No not much, basically like most pressed powders they do have a bit of fall out but its better than the pigments... xxQuote:

MUA nail polish in dark blue and shattered ice (the shattered ice is a crackle polish, looks really good over the dark blue imo although I need to redo my nails as the ends have all chipped and the varnish didn't crackle as much as I expected it to although that may have been because I applied it a bit to thickly)

Yes pigments can be a nightmare I very rarely use them because I can't seem to do it without making a mess!!!
