Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[kimibos]

Dominique! how have you been?

 

[BuickMackane]

You have jellies, too! I spotted a few of them on some Swedish shop, but soo expensive.

They might have been my first BLs, actually. I remember seeing them on Vampy Varnish and thinking they were super cool. I then picked them up when I went to England to see a gig. I don't think I ever wore them though. And I bought them in 2010!

 

[BuickMackane]

I got Sorbet, Juicy Papaya and Wild Watermelon, there was a 3 for 2 offer on Revlon in Superdrug. I have about 13 lipbutters now and I love them, I use them when I'm not going anywhere but still want some lipcolour. Or if I go to the swimming pool, or for a run, etc.

They have 13 shades in the range, I take it?

I'm pretty sure one of the drugstore/perfumery type places here stock Revlon but I can't for the life of me remember which one. I'm getting really curious about these lip butters.

 

[Corally]

@Buick Some Etos and DA stores have a couple of lip butters. You can order them on eBay though, they're also cheaper when you order online.

 

[kimibos]

Honestly? You're not missing much. TWINE is nice and all, but it's not worth the price tag IMO.

If you really want a gold fake TC and can't find TWINE, Zoya also has something called Gilty Pleasures which is pretty much the same thing. Maybe it's easier to get hold of.
Oceans of Alloys and Afterglow

Oceans is to die for. And I bloody well mean it!

I 'm kicking myself for not having bought any more shades from the Finders Keepers collex.

oh the zoya gold is gone and i think it was more expensive but is ok i didnt want it. i may be able to find TWINE at ebay for $7 something but im not that interested now.

ohh cant wait to see oceans on you! maybe it should be your next mani

Gah! I managed to confuse TWINE and TMWTGG again

Oceans - hmmm, Could be. I actually need to do my nails now but I was thinking something simpler. We shall see....

Dominique! how have you been?

I am ok BUT I fear I am becoming a real NPA more each day. I purchased 2 Essie ones ( Hip Anema and Avenue Maintain ) last week, and it's only the beginning. I strongly recommand Hip Anema, such a vibrant orange red, not a neon but quite close to it.
What about you ?

 

[Prettypackages]

YES. SMM

I don't know what SMM means. LOL

lol im a Gold medal winner when it comes to hail polish hauling around here. Hip anema and Avenue M look gorgeous they had them at my cvs but i could afford them. maybe next time.

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.

idk, if it is special packaging, it's pretty. I used to keep receipts and boxes for at least 30 days in the event I had to return it. But I don't really need sephora/ulta receipts from 3 years ago do I? then I was saving boxes to cut up and reuse as storage. I don't need them. I just think I do. It is hard for me to get rid of stuff. After my break in I did do some MAJOR purging. I'm finally reaady to do it again...

i think you should go for something that is to die for!!!!!

 

[BuickMackane]

My Hare wheel. I know they look kinda gloopy but that's because I drowned them in top coat and it's still wet. Yup, this saddo top coats her nail wheels. So sue me

Dog day dream - Rad cloud - Afterglow - Magic mist - Heat plague - Asteroid turf - Cosmo blossoms - Midsummer's Midnight (this is basically BL Black Knight on crack. And god knows what else) - Oceans of Alloys


I managed to swatch my Jindie Nails stuff on my Dandy Nails wheel because I for some unfathomable reason I labelled the wheel as Jindie Nails. Before I even had any Jindie Nails. If that makes any sense lol.


Dandy Nails Chilled Down - Jindie Nails Princess Bubblegum - Jindie Nails Talk Nerdy To Me - Jindie Nails Megapixels


And finally, my lone Contrary Polish - The Way I Am:

TMWTGG = the man with the golden gun. The gold flaky gimmicky one.

I want to wear OoA too but I feel so lazy tonight. I just want to whack on some one coater and get it over and done with. I'm actually supposed to be getting some work done tonight but I've done nothing but mess around on teh interwebs since I got home.

i like all the hare ones but MEGAPIXELS looks amazing!!! im going to write that one down

Mweh my nails are DYING, but they're way too long to file down because they will split so badly so I have to clip them as short as I can like always. They're gonna be SO short and then I'll won't be able to grow them normally for months, I don't know why but it's always the same story.. My nails probably get a giant smack from clipping down and refuse too grow normal for months, they always split and tear but after like two or three months clipping and filing they miraculously grow normal. It sucks because I can't paint my nails when they're super short, the np end up on my fingers rather than my nails. So frustrating.

do you know why? the season? too much polish/manipulation?

 

[kimibos]

Yes next time, the collection has just been launched and 3 more are coming ! Yes a Gold Medal winner lol,

yes the neons look amazing also the weeding one.

 

[Anneri]

Yeah, too many reds in SF. Meh.

The entire collection is meh. The only OK ones are Dining al fresco and Peace&Love&OPI.

And the Bond Girls look super gritty.

I do find the SF LE a bit boring, but I want the gold and silver Bond girls, especially because they look so gritty. I can imagine you get a really cool, gem encrusted look with them.

Do I loose my credentials as a MU addict if I admit that I don't find the lip butters any special? They're quite nice, but I don't think they're that big on moisturising, and that plus the standard colours they come in make them a bit meh to me.


@kimibos: I admire all the manis you did. Really really awesome, especially with the flakies you paired them with. I see Sinful Colours a lot on the web lately, are they any good?

@Medgal: Ooooh, love the Dior mani! Suits you very well.

@Buick: I want all your Hare and Jindie Polish. Nothing more to say, really!

About the boxes: I used to collect them and then threw them out when I moved the last time - biiiig mistake! Because I really find it easier to find everything if it's still in its box. And when we move again, I'll have more space for my stuff and the boxes will come out and I'll finally have some order around here. (Well, a girl can dream, right?)

 

[Prettypackages]

Anneri & HOB, are you referring to the Dior Gel Topcoat? I was going to try it yesterday but I did a rush mani with Dior's Blue Label and it wasn't good! I didn't want to waste the product. I have more time today so I'll do a mani that my fellow NPAs can be proud of. I'll use the gel top coat and report back. When I purchased it I just assumed it was 'long-wearing' and would protect against chipping, etc., and not provide a quick dry. I'm totally in love with OPI drying drops, which have been fail-proof for me for quick drying.

how do you use the opi quick drops work? Do you put them over the top coat? or on before the top coat?

Drooling

My Illamasquas just arrived. They're all nice but I think Purity is may favorite of this small group.

Don't hate----I threw the boxes away

Oh hush!!!!
