yay I found it!!! now I hve PIP
We've had really nice weather this weekend and it's getting me all pumped for Spring. So, in preparation, I rifled through my polish stash and got out all my unworn corally nail polishes! Can't wait to start wearing them. :amused: Whats the one in the middle called I'm not sure how I've gotten 6 days behind awesome hauls and pics ladies. O need to get some yellow polish!The polish in the middle looks hot pink, but it's actually more of a reddened coral. It's so bright, it freaked my camera out!
lol what shades did you get??Nice! Thanks for sharing Kimibos
Edited to include: Darn you two Kimibos & Naughtyp! I thought I was done and was trying to ignore this---No willpower whatsoever. I ordered a few Zoyas after having ordered the entire new Dior Sparkle collection! I guess I now have PIP too.
I think PIP is short-lived, so enjoy it while it lasts!!
Plucked from my Zoya wish list were: Arizona (Orange), Maya (Bright Coral) & Marley (Pale Lavender). Oh I could have gone on and on Kimibos, but I thought I'd show a little restraint. The freebie custom NP and the free shipping are what made me go for 3 more NPs after all of the Illamasqua, Dior & Chanel & Butter London that I've ordered lately.

It was so thoughtful of you to share it with your fellow NPAsat MAYA! im glad you were able to enjoy the code.
So tempted...Plucked from my Zoya wish list were: Arizona (Orange), Maya (Bright Coral) & Marley (Pale Lavender). Oh I could have gone on and on Kimibos, but I thought I'd show a little restraint.

I think my issues are due to the Instant Artificials nail hardener I was using. I think it's responsible for staining my nails and just made them more brittle. But others have said it works great for them in reviews, so it just may not agree with my nails. My hands have also been drier because of the cold weather, so that may be a factor as well.Ouch CC & Jennyap with the breakage issues. Cold weather??? Not enough protein in your diet??? Dare I say-----using your nails as tools???oh the horror ladies---the horror!! Your nails look so healthy
I kno I already want to go hunting for those spring Diors lol I hopefully will get all of them but prob not all at once. ;(Nice! Thanks for sharing Kimibos

it's like BL slapper but more green and jellyish. I have Slapper and Opi Fly and a drugstore version, which are all more blue.
Custom np?!? what is this all about?!? opens another tab to check Zoyas websitePlucked from my Zoya wish list were: Arizona (Orange), Maya (Bright Coral) & Marley (Pale Lavender).

go to the perter som part http://www.zoya.com/content/38/category/Peter_Som_NYFW2013_Spring_Summer.html
It's the free NP that you got when you entered the code SHARON, a Peter Som NP. It was added to your shopping cart just as Kimibos described. It's really pretty
It's called Thimbleberry.
I've been trying to wear all my fall/winter unused polishes so I can get to my spring colors. I came across this beautiful baby today. This was from the fall L'Oreal collection and it's called The Temptress' Power. My pictures don't do it justice at all. The best way I can think to describe it is it's as if MAC's Green Brown pigment were a nail polish. They're pretty much dead-on color dupes.
The lime green shimmer wanted to come across as white in my pictures, but it's definitely green. My nails just glow with it! It's a pretty amazing polish.
Edited to add my mini haul! Stopped by Rite Aid the other day because I had a $3 off any Revlon polish coupon. I picked up Girly and I'm in loooove. Also got Maybelline Intense Teal because it reminded me of the blue Nintendo 3DS, lol. It's a beautiful, bright, and metallic.
Well, I think you picked the right word when you said "challenge", lol. I tried doing what you're doing now, with switching your polish every few days, but it killed my nails! They were peeling and breaking like crazy, so I had to stop painting them that often. I try to go for a new color once a week now, and I take my nail polish off right after it starts to chip. That gives my nails a breather for the rest of the week. I condition them like crazy before I paint them again and that seems to be working pretty well for me.So how is your challenge going? I really need to focus on my unused NPs. I think it's too overwhelming so I've resorted to an alternative approach--wear a different NP every three days. I know it's a bit ambitious right? I love your mani.It's very pretty---and it's amazing how lighting effects it. Your two new NPs are pretty. I hope you'll share pics when you wear them
I've been changing my polish twice a week - three days of wear is about as much as I get from most polishes, so I usually have bare nails for a day a week. With this breakage I might have to cut down too. My own unused basket is getting fuller rather than emptier at the moment, so I don't want toOuch CC & Jennyap with the breakage issues. Cold weather??? Not enough protein in your diet??? Dare I say-----using your nails as tools???oh the horror ladies---the horror!! Your nails look so healthy
I've always had issues with my thumbnails doing this - I think it's probably the legacy of being a nail biter for so long. But this time I have a break on my index finger as well. Weather could definitely be an issue. I don't think lack of protein in my diet is a problem, but I might add some calcium to my daily supplements to see if that helps.

As you know I've started having similar yellowing issues, so there could be something to that theory. Seems like we're 'nail problem twins' CC!

And I will definitely share pics whenever I get to wear my new polishes! It might be a while, though... Stupid nail polish addiction!
I wasn't planning on doing exclusively green for March, but I think I have almost enough untried greens to do that now!
