A client has found decals she likes which I can only seem to get from this site

I'm always a bit tetchy about putting my card details onto sites I don't know

Anyone got any experience of them please? C
 
I have used them for bits before, no problems.

But like you, I was a bit wary. I would have preferred a PayPal option
 
I've ordered from here quite a few times for acrylic storage and that - it does take quite a long time for delivery though.
Never had any issues though :)
 
Another vote for Ali express- I've made tons of orders for all sorts of things with no problems. Sometimes shipping is fast- 2 rings came yesterday and I only ordered them 2 weeks ago to the day! Other times it's slow, I received a decal sheet the other day that took over 70 days to get here! Not much you can do about the postage though unfortunately! I've had no security issues though and for every single problem I have had (missing items, items clearly lost in transit, the odd defective or damaged item- these aren't frequent occurrences though!) I have always managed to get a refund. You might have to do a fair bit of back and forth messaging with the seller but I've always gotten it in the end.

Love Ali Express! I got a ring on sale for 60p which is absolutely stunning! Everyone has complimented it, you'd never know it was so cheap! Xx
 
My son wants some trainers from ali express and I said no cos i was scared of it lol
 
We, Husband and I, use it all the time. I agree with Carly, delivery times are hit and miss but no problems. Banggood is another we use.

Blossom -is it the decals you posted up the other day? They are from Bornprettystore.com - you can order direct from them rather than aliexpress if you want. I've used Bornprettystore.com loads too so no problems there

Here you go lovely

Thank you nail fairy [emoji175] yes it is!! I see what coco means :)

I was looking at jewellery on AliExpress - it's ridiculously cheap - obv it's cheap & cheerful but is it similar quality to, say new look or something? It's stupidly cheap

It's where places like new look source their stuff that's why the also offer greater discounts for bulk purchase. Check out the bornprettystore.com link I've put up for you above

Thanks trinity, I'm on that link now [emoji4]
 
Here ya go @blossom my recent ring acquisitions! I've also got some cute festival style bracelets. I'm addicted to AE, I'll buy anything if it's cute n cheap lol. None of these rings cost more than £1.40 lol. They had a big sale to celebrate 6 yr anniversary of AE, so I went nuts. Most of these are now 2 or 3 x the price I paid, but still a bargain!

Please ignore my fat fingers. My thyroid meds have caused a huge weight gain and I can't wear my single stone anymore, so I've been buying all these because I miss the sparkle.

My new fave that came yesterday- 60p on sale! I love it!

This came yesterday too, it's possible they sent the wrong size though as it's def too tight to wear. The bestie is gonna get this tomorrow.

This came on Monday. Really nice but the stone sits v v high. I'm used to that though as my single stone is similar.

The first ring I ever ordered from there that started this binge. It's too big though, but it's ok if I put a snug on it. I did lose 2 tiny stones from cleaning it (I ate some wings and covered it in sauce lol), but they're only in the gallery and you can't tell at all. Obviously the wedding band is not from AE, it's so tight I can barely get it off!

I've bought loads of nail art supplies from AE, I have a mountain of decals now. I've also bought some lovely make up brushes. It's like Christmas here, I'm always expecting some nice little treat or something. X

These look pengalicious
 
I do find that their make up is all fakes though. So I wouldn't buy those !
 
I agree with nailpod! I don't buy make up, creams, oils, nail lacquer or gel from there. I personally would not trust it! But accessory products like jewellery, bags, nail art, decals, stickers, brushes, etc are all fab. Omg don't forget watches! I went on a bonkers watch binge a few months ago and got some fab ones! All arrived perfect and working, I wanted the ones with the woven friendship bracelet style straps. Yet another new beautiful ring came yesterday plus some nail art stuff.

Saying all that, I'm debating getting a cheap bottle of no wipe topcoat for doing my pops. I figure if I wear gloves and only put it on plastic pops and not human beings, it should be ok.

Bit off topic but if you want some really nice and cheap jewelry then Amber jewelry is in the Uk and they have a huge selection at silly prices
 
Thanks p10. I've heard of them. I was really only browsing, maybe thinking of getting a couple of bits for myself, while ordering :).
