Red Manicure TSV Order - You may not get what you expected!!

[Nikki]

I got mine yesterday, had my first go today. Really easy to do and do like the finish, though the 'base colours' supplied with the French I don't like - far too opaque for me for a French, though the sandy coloured one might be ok on its own. In the end I used the white to do the tips, top coated over it and used a Leighton Denny colour (it girl) over the whole lot. Looks good.

Yes Ali, I've got the pale pink on. I like it, it's very similar to one nails inc do. I found it very chalky tho. Not the easiest to apply & look decent. I wouldn't personally use it as a french manicure base, it is too streaky & opaque. I tried it with a white tip & it looked like playskool nails or those penny strawberry & cream gum sweets I had as a kiddie lol. When doing white tips I think I'll just use the base & top coat as they look great.

Oh yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY ALI!! Hope you had a fab one! :mysmilie_858:

I just wanted to try the french colours but that pink is just so opaque and really chalky and didn't apply well, either. In the end went for just base- and top coat and it looks fab, will have to redo my thumb. I went into Sallys today and got a finger bowl and a big bottle of acetone, that should make the removal process easier (though the kit supplied works really well). They had a good choice of RCM colours there, too, though some of Gellish colours look nice but of course you sadly can't get them without a Sallys card.

What a bummer SW! Did they offer you another one or is it that you've had enough of the saga now? Wouldn't blame you if you had x.

@craftology. How much is a big bottle of acetone? I paid £4.95 for 50ml from my local chemist and I didn't think it was as good as the Erase from RCM. I've now bought a new bottle from RCM and that cost £3.95 with free postage for 120ml.

You were had. 500ml acetone in Ireland €8, approx £7 and Ireland is very expensive for everything.

I use Sally Hansen nail varnish remover (the one with acetone) which you can get anywhere - even Tesco. It works just as well as the RCM one and is just a couple of quid a bottle. I even got it buy one get one half price in Superdrug the other day.

I just got some more, £1.30 for Sainsbury's own, 200ml. It's a blue colour, cylindrical plastic bottle & if you check the ingredients it says acetone & glycerin. The Sally Hansen one is £2. (I decided to economise, spend £81 incl p&p for the RCM system, save 70 pence on the remover, genius even if I do say so myself lol)! :rock:

So sorry to anyone still waiting for their entire TSV order or replacement colours. What an absolute shambles! Q seem to have really dropped off in numerous ways in recent months imo. & Some not even a reply to your complaint, diabolical! If I were in your position I'd be tempted to mention to Q that you'll send copies of your correspondence or just write to the Advertising Standards Authority. Good luck! :angel:
