At the end of that thread everyone was discussing M&S perfumes and other decent 'dupe' brands (and I now need to plan a visit to my local store to have a good sniff of them all!)

Plus here are some related threads:

I usually get gel polish in my nails but haven’t been for a while as trying to stop the addiction. Can anyone recommend a good black nail varnish that I can use at home please? Something that will withstand my constant hand washing! Oh and glossy not Matt!

I wouldn't recommend the Nails Inc one anyway - took loads of coats, tip wear started within hours, went dull after a day or two etc.

Thank you will definitely avoid that one

I’m getting my nails done for the first time in ages. What the ‘in’ colours and shape these days?
Not sure what’s in but I like mine short and glossy. Have a look on instagram maybe for some inspiration? The gel bottle inc is a good place to start.

As the above poster mentioned take a look at the place where you are going their Insta to see if there is anything you like.

Some ideas here:

 
On the odd occasion I've got my nails done, I've always had acrylics with normal polish (so I could wipe it off and apply my own colour when they started to grow out because I'm a cheapskate 😂). This time around though, I was talked into gel nails. I couldn't really understand the lady who talked me into them so I just went along with it, but now I'm confused what I ask for when I go back - do I get infills, a bit like you do with acrylics? Or do they take them off completely and start again each time?
 
Any recommendations for a really lush,
nourishing lip balm?

Similarly, a gloss or glaze to put over lipstick that isn't super sticky?

Sick of dry and/or sticky lips.

Summer Fridays, expensive but worth it. I often wear the clear ones at night as a lip mask but the tinted ones are nice for day if you want colour. They usually launch a Christmas set with three of them that’s great value.
