I bought my first W7 polishes and I can report they are excellent. This is the least interesting. The other 2 are truly A MAY ZZING. Ebay W7 if you too live in the regions of shopping darkness and can't find it locally. My branch of Debs is charging £7.50 for these. Do they ever sell any? I hope not because that is a quite cynical rip-off.
The Nubar is also fab. It's the least popular of the Venetian Glass collection and the only one I have. I am now desperate for the others. Everyone says Vaso is marketed as a glass-fleck but it's just (just?) a foil and therefore a disappointment. Well, I think it's both. So there. And not disappointing at all. Get your Nubar at http://www.nubar-nailz.co.uk/ Very good service and fair prices.
One of my next posts is going to be about the ethics of spending. Not about getting a bargain or value for money or buying on credit (although that IS an ethical issue). But addressing my personal prejudices on purchasing and why they exist. And you may share them. Or you may not.
Most of you weren't economically active during the apartheid South Africa years but here's a question.
If South Africa were still governed by the white elite would you be happy to buy South African fruit? There are/were all sorts of views on this. What's yours?
And one more as a poser - if you were offered fantastic and cheap goods (Manolos? Cartier?) you had reason to believe were stolen during a violent raid would you go ahead or turn away?
Happy thinking

I thought W7 was a cheapo market brand, don't they sell it in New Look? It l'm surprised, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteNo, I boycotted South Africa back in the day. I avoid Procter & Gamble, Kenco, Kraft and Nestle and lots of other unethical brands and I hate most designer logo stuff and wouldn't buy it full stop. xxx
Very pretty, I like the glitter accent nail!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the Nubar link, I wondered where to get it from :)
