Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

I'm all over the NP color map and because of this thread I'm trying colors on my nails that I wouldn't have tried in a million years. And I LOVE it

I think I'm in a light color/pastel phase. And I notice I get into color phases for different brands. All I want from Essie right now are corals and greens.

Do you flatten your boxes? That helps a lot with saving space.

Nope. That would be too traumatic. I'm taking things one step at a time.

.....love these pics, CartoonChic

Chocolate...




The polishes are nice, too. But be careful of the Klean Colors, or this could be your fate.

Awesome collection Naughtyp!! I like the drawer storage---easy access for sure.

I read that too MRV. I E-mailed my Sax BS (Beauty Specialist, as they call them) and asked her to put them aside for me when they come in. Dior gets confusing because they will initially advertise polishes as being part of a specific collection and then change it. At least that's what I found with TuTu, Rosy Bow & Gris Trianon. I got them all but TuTu was part of another collection and exclusive to one HE store.

I purchased Venous last month CC. Are you now insisting that I get Harem? Gun to my head insisting? Ok. If you insist!

It's so confusing with all those exclusives you have!

Ok, here's PP Jade. I love it! It's so bright and different form the other greens I've been wearing of late. My hands need to get out of this winter though. I just came in from the freezing cold. It's not even blowing from Siberia, but litterally from the North Pole!

Aye. Avoid Illamasqua's website like the plague. Their customer service is gold standard for incompetence. Seriously, a handful of chimps would have done a better job sorting the international delivery mess.

I'm being calm and reasonable at the moment because last week they sent an e-mail, albeit a suspiciously generic and vomit inducingly pathetic one, saying my order (no idea which one, I'm guessing both) would be shipped by the 18th and that I'd receive an e-mail with the despatch details. Now, I'm pretty sure that ain't going to happen, but they did say the 18th and the day's not over yet. If I hear nothing from them by tomorrow, those tosspots aren't going to know what hit them

oh hush!

You're the one that has me addicted to yellow though.

Heaven help the poor soul who dares to flush it

Nope. That would be too traumatic. I'm taking things one step at a time.

LOL I'm spring cleaning this week and I'm going to make myself throw away my old makeup boxes. But i'm going through the same thing.

 

[Medgal07]

Way too risky right now! Order at your own NP peril!

They're already at Sephora. They were originally Sephora exclusive colors, but they've been added to Illamasqua's site today.
Illamasqua does ship to the US, but I wouldn't order from them right now. They're having issues shipping outside of the UK because of nail polish shipping rules being enforced by the Royal Mail. Packages are getting destroyed. They said that they found a way around it with a new distributor, but people are still not receiving their orders. Buick said her orders were destroyed twice. I want Raindrops and the new Pink Raindrops, but I'm ordering from their site. I'll wait for them to show up at Sephora. I don't want to take the risk.

EDIT: I meant to say I'm not ordering from their site.

 

[Medgal07]

YES. SMM

Oh I live to throw things away. I get excited as trash day approaches, and we have two /week in my neighborhood. I totally agree with you on the DL boxes. I've gotten a cut from one so I now use a scissor to open them. Just curious, what becomes of the makeup boxes that you save? Do you ever reuse them in an ongoing manner? What happens when you use up the product? Do you discard the box at that time.
I'm asking because maybe I need to be doing something differently!

I keep all of my polishes in their boxes. It makes it easier to find the colors with their names printed on the top. I especially like how Illamasqua's labels match the nail polish color. The only exception I make are the Lippmann boxes. I can't stand them. They're hard for me to open and I feel like I'll nick my fingers on the sharp plastic edges trying to pull them open. But I don't want to throw any of the boxes away. I flatten them, secure them together with a hair band, and store them in a box. I do that with all of my makeup boxes, too.

Pretty mani Buick!!!!!! Me likey too!

Take a deep breath Pretty & just do it! If you really don't need them/not using them what's the point? Enlighten me already? Besides which, you'll have room for new things or other things that you already have, but need the space for.

A few of my Butter Londons arrived today. The Hubs said, "Oh what did you get?" Meanwhile, he still hasn't noticed the additional NP rack. I am SOOOO going for that 4th rack!




Left to right, my three new friends are Sprog, Blagger and Primrose Hill Picnic. Don't you just love PHP? Now that's a color a girl could drink

 

[Medgal07]

Yikes! It's not very logical to exclude the NPs when using the GV. You can always get NPs plus 1-2 products you use the GV for. Or is that the case when it does not work?

Hmmm. The girl didn't say what she had in her order. Maybe NPs were the reason, I dunno. I'd be more inclined to think it was a cock up on Illamasqua's part though. Their recent record doesn't exactly instill one with confidence.

Pretty green mani's @ Medgal and MRV!
