W-E-L-L...I just happened to get an E-mail from Estee Lauder tonight. I only ordered one nail polish (Insatiable) and their new Illuminating Powder Gelee, Tease. That's exactly what I told myself...YOLO.
and then I ate my words!!!!
Orly Ingenue: duo chrome goodness its just beautiful purple and gold.i dont know why my big finger nail looks damage cause it isnt.
Wet n Wild Twining Vines: wore this from wed-sun no damage at all. i always get the little white tips showing after 2 days but not with this polish. im impressed by this WnW polish.
That's what I'm counting on! No luck thoughRBL used to do a 50% off sale once a year. I hauled big time in 2009 and 2010. This is the first time I bought any RBLs since. I had no such intention but then I heard Aqua Lily was coming back. That's when all common sense flew out the window. International shipping is USD18.50 for 7 bottles max. I figured if I was going to so something as irresponsible and downright stupid as paying that much for shipping, I might as well do so with a bang. Hence the magic number 7. In retrospect I should have got 3 more bottles to qualify for free shipping. Ah well.
Forget the job, get a lottery ticket instead
OPI- The Spy who loved me, The One that got away, and Mermaids TearsHi ladies, can I join the NP fun? I must be crazy but I just read all 44 pages of this thread over the course of today! (CartoonChic, that is some impressive hauling you've been doing. Others haven't done so bad either, but when you read it all in one day, wow!)
I'm fairly new to NP as a serious thing - well to all make-up if I'm honest. Most of my money is going on stuff for my face at the moment, but I'm still managing to sneak in the odd NP here and there. For all I've never worn it regularly until recently, I have about 50 bottles I reckon! Probably 15-20 of those have been added in the last 6 months, but some are probably 15 years oldThey're almost all cheapy/drugstore brands, and I added a couple more of those to my stash at the weekend.
Today I'm wearing one of them - Max Factor Dazzling Blue. Love it - it's almost an icy blue at some angles in daylight, but it has a lovely yellow-green pearl too.
But now I have a challenge for you all!
I plan to pick up 3 polishes from one of the big NP brands. So, can you name your top 3 colours - and 3 only! - for each of OPI, Essie, and Butter London? Then when you've done that, which set of 3 would you buy first? There have been more NPs named in this thread than I dare count, so it will be interesting to see what everyone says
I'm curious now. What is SO? More importantly, DO I NEED IT?!?!?
Thankee
The blues are my faves too. I wouldn't have made this haul if it hadn't been for AL and, to a certain extent, Cuprum.

I have to try that! My NMWK doesn't receive as much love because of thee three coats for (near) opaque colour issue. I don't mind a bit of sheerness in lighter colours but for darker ones I need full opacity because I have a lot of those annoying white marks on my nails. Not that I'm complaning. It's a miracle I still have any nails after biting my nails religiously for the best part of my first 20 years on the planet
Oh yes, it took me an extra five years or so to break the habit completely. The worst part (i.e., constantly bleeding nail beds and nails roughly the size of a grain of rice) was over when I was 20-21. Now all I can think of is "Yuck" when I see bitten nails. A bit like those reformed smokers who make it their raison d'etre to harrass those who still enjoy the crafty cig. Well, not really. I tend to keep my mouth shut but inside I'm all "ewww!".
I used to bite my nails allll the time. They never got that short but I would always make my cuticles bleed too. Polishing my nails REALLY helped with it. I think it's disgusting to bite my nails now.
I'm sure it can be found. It has been restocked in some shops and the brand seems to make even new versions of their polishes > multiple batches too!?
Since NinjaPolish took over Floam from NailVentrous it's become much easier to get hold of. They've even turned Floam into a polish line. I got my hands on my Hannukah, Girly and Candy Cane floams yesterday. I'm kinda disappointed by Hannukah floam. The holo glitter really overpowers the gorgeous matte blue glitter. I like how sparkly it is, but I was hoping for it to be more about the matte glitter because that's what makes floams special. I was going to order Pinkerbell, but I caved in and got Hannukah instead because it's LE.
