Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

I don't think I will ever buy Chanel np or other high-end brand np for that matter.
I bought EL Insatiable after a very looooong HE NP break. But I can fully justify it:
1. It was 25% off if you bought two makeup products
2. There was an EL GWP if you got 2+ products, one to be skincare. The lippie was divine

3. My tube of Clinique lower lash mascara was about to run out.

So I got the mascara, the NP and an EL cleanser. Pretty good deal I suppose.

I found some of the Naughty or Nice Orly polishes in TKMaxx for £14.99 for 3 which was brilliant. It had the sparkly blue, the sparkly pink and the red one in it, and I'd already ordered the sparkly gold one a while back. I'm intrigued by that green glitter (esp if it's holo) and the duochrome purple one from the picture above, as well as the pixel ones.

Hot pink!

And the blue has just the right amount of green it in to make it interesting.



So what's the damage?

Ooooh, Nymphea looks nice

Some of these will mostly end up in my stash lol. Thanks for the pic

I haven't bought Orly lately either. Enchantedbeatyspot hasn't stocked the Hope&Freedom ones yet.

Thanks, I also hope I'll receive my polishes next week. I very much doubt that the Illamasquas will show up in the foreseeable future, but it would be nice to receive an update. Did you e-mail them about your specklies?

What's weirding me out are my Cult orders. I placed 3 separate ones when they had the sale to avoid customs bs and asked them to ship them with a few days in between. Which they did. Here's where things get interesting. The last update for the one shipped on 8Feb is 10Feb. The one shipped on 12Feb was still in the US on 6Mar. The last one, shipped on 16Feb was in the US on 13Mar. The latter two did a shedload of travelling to and from sort facilities (they were shipped from FL, they went to NY, then back to FL again. wtf?). For all I know the first one (shipped 8Feb) has fallen off the edge of the planet.

I'm pretty certain I've been blacklisted by the Interpol equivalent of postal services.

My Nordstrom Butters shipped yesterday and will be delivered Wednesday. That seems a lot faster than my usual orders from Nordstrom. I'm not complaining! I was good and didn't go back for any more Butter polishes. But I'm about to go batty on an Illamasqua order. I've been fighting the urge ever since that $7 JCP Sephora sale didn't work out for me. Now I'm about to blow.

Oh, and those summer Essies and some of the Zoyas will be mine.

I haven't sniffed them yet, but will let you know when I do.

Oh yes, I have an Estee Lauder polish too...

I'm so glad your NPs arrived safe and sound

I haven't got any Kleancolors. Is it true that they have a super strong, old school NP smell?


Thing is they don't stay unique for long. Look what happened with Paradoxal, Peridot, Jade etc.

I personally don't care for them but I know a lot of people love their Chanels. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. That said, would I turn down a freebie Chanel NP? No, I would not. I might have principles (yeah right

Mine shipped too CC, but I got restless last night after seeing an Email Ad from Sephora ! I checked my NP wish list that I have sorted by brand and ordered Boosh, Milf, Purity & Obsess.

They lured me in with something about individual points status---10% off. Also got free shipping. I'll soon need that 4th NP rack! Don't blow, just haul! I need my partner in NP crime!

Lol. I only did it that way because I didn't feel like making the phone call. Chatting was just easier.
I'm drooling over your Diors! Tell me how you like the gel top coat. I'm curious about it. And what do you think about Diorling? I've been eyeing them, but I'm not sure I like the different bottles. I keep going back and forth with buying. I get close to making the purchase, then change my mind.
I'll report back on the gel top coat but I probably won't get to use it until next week. About Diorling---it's not one that I would have purchased---the bottle is super cute but it doesn't fit well on my NP rack & I have other gold NPs, but as a gift---I'm totally thrilled to have it. T didn't give it a good review, but I've learned to not rely solely on her opinions and I've seen descent swatches by other NP enthusiasts.

I only buy HEs when discounted, too. Today I optimized my YSL Jade Imperial purchase and got 3 discounts at the same time!

I have about 8-10 Kleancolors. I don't know about old school, but they smell bad. I don't want to use mine because of that actually. The smell is so chemical and intense, especially the black flakey polish that I have, that I'm worried about the ingredients. You couldn't pay me money to ever apply that black one ever again, the smell is out of this world. You take a whiff and feel like throwing it as far away as you can and duck, that's how scary it is, lol.
One of their bottles broke into pieces when I tried to open it. I wasn't even trying too hard, just grabbed it and wanted to open it like you would open any polish bottle. It pretty much broke in two halves, I was glad I didn't hurt myself. No more Kleancolors for me.

Naughtyp, this is what I found online. I haven't had a chance to try myself, but it seems easy enough. Let me know if it works for you![/h] [h=3]How to Take a Screenshot with Your iPhone[/h] While looking at the screen you want to capture, just click and hold the top power button and the round menu button simultaneously.

As long as they don't shove any Chanels down my piehole I can just about live with anything.


Yeah, it's weird. My latest RBL, Overall Beauty and Cult orders took about a month to arrive too. That's why I'm not getting uber paranoid at this point but I am going to e-mail the Cult peeps if nothing shows up by the end of next week.


Yikes!

I'm convinced I would grow a third arm or something if I would use those for a longer period of time. It can't be healthy.
I'm browsing through my Photobucket right now to see if I have some old swatches.

I love the middle one, it's called Fireworks right? I really want some Kleancolors.
Yes! That's actually the prettiest one of the ones I have and the one I was most excited about. It looks great in real life, but I can't deal with the unpleasant smell. I bought all of mine at Beautyjoint.com.
