ok going back i really liked all the illamasqua polishes that you guys have hauled or are wearing the new ones. i hope they have them at my sephora next time im there. i also hope cheapy brands get to do something similar. i know milani is coming up with texture polishes so maybe they do something like this. its not original but i like cheap lol

I did a skittles mani! I don't know. I think my nails look more like Mike and Ike candies instead of Skittles.

I wanted to use a yellow polish on my thumb at first, but I only have two yellows and neither one would've worked well with the other colors. I used Lime instead because of the March theme. It should still count.

Dior Lime - pinky, thumb
Dior Mango - ring
Dior Pasteque - middle
Dior Saint-Tropez - index







My favorite polish from last week is Illamasqua Nomad. I LOVE the color. I made a swatch on a nail stick and didn't have any of the bubbling or uneveness issues I had when I did my nails. I really do think those problems were caused by the Butter London base coat. I'm still testing the base coat to make sure the problems are not due to user error. I applied an even thinner layer of the base coat with my skittles mani and got much better results. I think I may have had too much on my brush the first two times I used it. We'll see.

I also recommend the Butter London top coat. I'm loving it so far. It makes my nails smooth and glossy, and it dries quickly.

HI there. i felt liked doing that but i just feel so bad they are probably getting lots of emails and all that. im just going to used other brushes but as of now i dont want to se them lol i love all you dior hauls. once again total envy.
Hi yeah even if im busy there is lots of time for my polish hordering lol. im going to try some brushes from other bottles like from a clear wet n wild polish.
That's a good idea about using other brushes. And there's always time for polish hoarding.

It counts lol. love them! I am wearing nomad right now no issues but I am in love with this color OMG! on my toes I have sinful colors mint candy apple. I sorted thru my greens and picked a pair for each color. I have three greens that are not similar to any other green I have so I will just use those on both my nails and toes ( they are AE dragon, CG Running in circles and Im with the lifeguard). all my mints are in pairs and my golden dark greens are too. and my aqua/ turquoise colors! this is going to really help me out doing it this way ;)
Today I got Zoya Julie and Roxy at ulta.

Both of the DL pinks are so pretty!!! I planned on only getting the purple mermaid one and the mint sprinkle but I may change my mind lol!

Whole foods by me has a better zoya section but they don't have any of the new collections yet. Ulta only has the new collections basically lol plus a few others. I hope they have another sale online like they did in jan lol

i love the mani and nomad as well. i tried the butter london base coat the milky one and the horse fertilizer but somehow didnt care about both. like i didnt see them doing any good or bad, they are packed now, but ill have to use them eventually. omg you have to try a flaky polish, on top of Dior LIME, my favorite mani so far is who the sherk are you? with a flaky on top. its absolute insanity !!!!

Ladies, what do some of you consider to be the "must have colors" from the Color club 2013 Holo collection? I asked a local salon/nail supply store to get them last week and the order just arrived at the store this morning so they called me to let me know! I told them to pull one of each color for me and will quite naturally look them all over once I get there, but for those who have had the chance to see them I just wanted your opinions.

MACHostage. I was not familiar with these so I looked them up. They're not what I would normally wear but I'm on a mission to be open minded & try new things. I would try Beyond, just to get my feet wet in the Holo pool. Hopefully some Holo lovers here will chime in.

CC your skittle mani is so, so pretty! Skittles & Mike & Ikes are my favorite candies, so you can call it either---I find both totally appealing.

I love the colors---your mani really turned out nice. They're HAPPY nails!

I dont' think you should have to pull brushes from other polishes. How unfortunate. I think for the price---and everyone who received their AEs seems pleased with the polish, the brushes should at least be commensurate with the quality of the polish.

That would be a shame. I hope you get a response soon.

Lol, like what happened with kimibos? Let's close our eyes and click our heels three times. We want Buick. We want Buick. We want Buick.




That's a good idea about using other brushes. And there's always time for polish hoarding.
Things must be a bit rough still their at A-England. I've gotten immediate replies in the past. Unless they are trying to track the order down before they respond.

I really miss Buick's chiding and sense of humor!

BTW, is HOB on vacation again? I count on her manis---they have become the gold standard to which I aspire.

Using brushes from other NPs is a short-term solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. For a brush to come with a NP and to suitably/effectively deliver/dispense a product is a reasonable expectation.

I know the problem existed previously for some AEs, and everybody who contacted Adina about it was super pleased with the communication and Adina's excellent service. So don't worry and contact her!


I'm happy to see you abou, kimibos! Love your haul pics. I'm dying to try some Hard Candy polishes too, especially their 'speckled' ones, but of course I don't see a way to get some. Let's hope that speckled polishes stay on trend for a while, because I love them!


I totally forgot MANI MONDAY!

Let's see, I did only two manis last week, first one the 'lace' stickers which I liked but was a bit disappointed because of the very obvious tipwear, and second the silver/mint crackled mani. Loved that and I can only encourage everybody to try it - it's really not difficult at all!
