I've always had pretty good service from them. Occasionally slow, but they've always made things right for me.

I'm still not resubbing once my sub runs out in Feb, though, because all of the other countries shutting down and co-founder stepping down, etc has me really nervous! But I always like my boxes.

Woooah...I didn't know all of that was happening! My sub runs out in February as well. Maybe I'll just watch from afar for a while and see what happens. When the co-founder steps down, something fishy is happening.

Thanks for sharing. I liked his honesty and transparency about it. It doesn't look like they're going anywhere anytime soon - at least in the US.

 
Eek, I just test drove the Victoria polish and it didn't go well. I needed 2.5 coats to make it not look streaky, and it was kind of hard to clean up. I took it back off right after applying and now I'm trying to un-stain my cuticles. I think this will be a good toenail color, but it's a lot sheerer than I expected for such a dark color, and kind of difficult to apply evenly and without the dreaded bloody cuticles look. Is this pretty standard for the Nails Inc formulas? It's the first polish from Nails Inc that I've tried.

I've only ever tried their topcoat effects, but my experience with those was about the same.  Goopy and hard to work with, I ended up returning the couple that I got.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. A few items look similar to what we received in the US.

Same here! It was hard to apply evenly. Some parts of my nails look more "bloody" and other parts look darker. Oh well. It's still a beautiful color in beautiful packaging. Hope the formulas of their other colors are better.

That box is so stinking cute! I love the Christmas tree design, I wish ours in the US had looked the same. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Finally getting around to trying out the pumpkin mask. Once its on it reminds me of baby food. I will either look really good or really bad for my new drivers license picture tomorrow! It did burn quite a bit at first.

Thanks! I think that box and a sea themed one we got in the summer were my favorites.

I put it on my face and I couldn't stand the burning so I took it off right away - does it get better? I have like 3 tubes of it and I want it to work for me!

The burning only lasts a couple of m inutes, it's supposed to happen...it's the enzymes getting rid of the dead skin :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes it definitely goes away. I find with masks like the the more often I use them the less they burn.

i find that to be the case, too...my theory is that the more you use them, the less they have to work to de-gunk your face....or at least it makes sense to me!

I like the way you think :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I recently noticed that my face is not tingling with any of my masks- some of mine are 6 months old and I thought it was maybe because they were getting old. I definitely would like to think its because my face is in good shape.. lol!
 
Wow - tried it on my daughters skin last night - and it makes it sooooo smooth.  She thinks its her fav mask so far!
