Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

Pretty I LOVE the drying drops. If I didn't have them I doubt I'd change my NP as often as I do----3 times w/in the past 3 days, but that's an aberration. I put the drops over the top coat, after 2-3 minutes and I'm fully dried 5 minutes later. LOVE it I tell you---LOVE it!

Oh you're totally strung-out now Prettypackages. For sure you'll hear trumpets blow & angels sing

when you finally get around to actually polishing your nails!

Love all the the manis! I can't wait to get those Diors. My Illamasquas arrived. Wish I had better lighting to show the colors more accurately.


ROW 1: Nudge Noble Venous Milf
ROW 2: Hemlock, Scarce, Superstition, Harem




I couldn't unbox Harem because it leaked inside of the box, dried, and is stuck together. Back it goes for a replacement.

i love all the nopi you got. lol you think you dont like minis and got lots of them. Nice Haul!
why spend money by shipping it back?? send them a pic and then put it in the trash. they should send you a replacement with out questions.
im drooling with this haul! the top line is soo beautiful, i love them all!!

I was playing with them as I was typing that and they are just too small to deal with. I won't buy anymore.

Thank you!!!

Shut my mouth

heheheheeee.

Yeah, I'm drooling over Buick's and Cartoon's pic.

MILF and the purple speckle were my first Illamasqua colors...

CC so glad you got your Illamasquas, but boo hoo with the Harem issue. That's just awful. I love your NP color choices!!!! Someone else mentioned taking a photo and sending it--that really does work. I did it with a broken MAC mineralize eye shadow. I hate having to send something back because that's not how I want to spend my time.

I have nailtek's 10 speed quick drying drops. Hopefully it works just as well as the OPI brand, and I will polish more. That's why I don't paint my nails. The drying time.

You've got a major zooful Buick!! I just love your wheels---lot's of room to grow there too. Where do you keep them for access when you want to select a color to where? That must be a ton of fun!

Nice haul! I would do what medgal said and call before mailing it back. Most times they'll just send a new one.

I love the finish on this one. Gorgeous color too - it works beautifully with your skintone 

I've never tried them, but keep reading good stuff about those lip butters. What shades did you get? Buick does not approve 

Yeah I got those as well. We'll probably get another dozen e-mails next week saying boohoo this courier company screwed us over too 

Ty! Idk why but I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's darker in person.. Maybe it's the shimmer who knows!

In other news my LLarowes arrived today. Before: After: No Cults.

So many pretties! I need to get some more lindies.

Don't tempt me! :lol: Lovely! Corals are my favorite but I have so many already (and I don't know just how many different hues of corals there are - if you compare to greens/blues). Maybe I can get some Diors after all if feelunique.com fixes the shipping problem. I don't have Purity yet (ups, a coral) but it's on my list. (Just give me my specklies first!) Medgal....  :whip:

I hope they fix it! If not I'm sure any of us here can help you get what you need

[COLOR=0000FF]Today's mani---Dior Nymphea.  Shown without Crystal & with it.  I like it both ways, although a little shimmer makes me smile, and it's really pretty IRL.[/COLOR]

Nymphea is gorgeous! You're making me want to go put it on.. Like right now!

[COLOR=4B0082]Here's you're such a budapest topped with Lucky Star [/COLOR] [COLOR=4B0082] [/COLOR] [COLOR=4B0082]NYC tudor city teal with OPI Polka.com[/COLOR] [COLOR=4B0082] [/COLOR] [COLOR=4B0082] [/COLOR] [COLOR=4B0082]Revlon Girly topped with Seche Collage Overlay[/COLOR]

Love them all! Especially the teal.

[COLOR=0000FF]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. [/COLOR]

I think I'm more of a fast drying kinda gal.. She said she used the drops and it still didn't try fast. I guess it would have to pass the sheet mark test. That drives me insane.

[COLOR=0000FF]HOB it's GORGEOUS!  :eyelove: .  It's been snowing and raining so I stayed in dark mode after the SPD green challenge.  Your mani is pretty and cheerful.  Love it!!!  My next mani will be Nymphea.  Time to lighten up right?[/COLOR]

Ty!

.....stunning, honey on boost :eyelove:

Ty macina!

i like nailtek's Quicken top coat alot. more than seche but not more than out the door..lol

 

[Prettypackages]

the only mini set i bought was the femme de cirque one. i used all the mini i juggle men and then ended up buying the big bottlex3. i love it. i didnt care much about the other shades. i think its good to try things out. i think the euro centrale one is pretty they added 3 cute colors.

its by inm. they have the little bottle and the huge 73 ml one

i get it at sallys

 

[CartoonChic]

Can you believe it CC? I got every one of the speckles except Fragile. I think when I purchased them I was eyeing Cameo and got that instead. I should have gotten both Fragile & Cameo. Major lapse in judgement!!!!

I'd like to get my hands on Freckle. I need to complete the set now. I didn't get it sooner because I hadn't tried Illamasqua yet and wasn't sure I'd like it. I also wasn't expecting that color to sell out. Does anyone know how often Sephora restocks LE colors, if at all? I'm probably going to end up hunting t down at a store. It would bother me not to have them all at this point.

do individual stores ship? I saw it at my Oak Brook Sephora. I'd love to do a CP, but I had the hardest time trying to mail back a nail polish to MAC. none of the carriers would take it.
