Like WOW Jennyap!!! Love your manis! Peridot, which I don't like on me--looks like you're wearing three different NPs--- and very awesome on you. The peachy-coral Spring Ball looks very pretty on you. I was disappointed to hear that it didn't wear well because I got all four NPs from that collection. maybe I should try the Dior gel top coat with them.
Oh, and 'wheels & sticks' sounds like it could be the name of a band.

Happy birthday for yesterday Honey on Boost! Hope you had a lovely day
I'm not even going to try quoting stuff I've missed, but wow, there have been some beautiful hauls and manis, props to you all! I have to confess to being particularly in love with Nymphea.
Buick, you and your nail wheel porn have pushed me very close to deciding that I need both sticks AND wheels! Sticks to organise by colour, and wheels by brand. Sigh, I am such a nerd.
I have a few manis to share tonight - tomorrow I will post my crazy hauls from the last week!
The first few days of my holiday (which was lovely - and warm *grin* ) I actually kept my nails bareI didn't want to be messing with base, topcoat etc, so I took one of my new 60 Second Rimmel polishes with me. I broke from the green too, with this insanely hot fuchsia pink, called Pulsating:
My small duty-free haul consisted of one NP, and the UD Naked 2 Palette. The NP was my first Chanel, the often-imitated Peridot. (It's my birthstone, seemed rude not to!) I put it on the same night we got home, but made a right pig's ear of it, smeared and smudged all over the place oops! I didn't have time to change it though, as I was working at a polling station for a local election the next day, and had to be up at 4.30am
It's so hard to get good pics of this, but I absolutely love it. It seems to be a different colour in every light. It was particularly difficult to capture the turquoise in it.
Despite the mess I made of it, this got a major compliment. Most of the election candidates were outside the polling station on and off all day, and at the end one of them - 50-something bloke - said to me, "I've been meaning to tell you all day, I think your nail polish is spectacular!" So I'd say that's Peridot FTW!!
Replacing that, and currently on my nails is a totally different shade. I've pretty much given up on the green I think. Also a new purchase, this is Dior Spring Ball.
It's not at all my usual type of colour (I definitely can't wear corals on my face) but it is sooo pretty and spring-like. It seems to lean a little pinker in the bottle, which I would have preferred, but I still love it. However it's not lasting terribly well, two days in and I've got some noticeable chips

Thanks, Honey! I actually have that OPI, too.Thank you! It's from the Euro collection I already forgot the name.
I love your mani
I believe they are like the chanel, diors etc. and it's supposed to come off. IIRC they are a little harder to get off.
my favorite is the last with the glitter of course!
Thank you!! I wish I had a spring break, Enjoy it!
That bottle and that color get an A++ in my book!
Looks like you have your racing stripes too!
The bottle is cute, there seems to be a whole family of ice cream polishes now, cremes too.

Peridot looks lovely on you! It's still available here in the "other department store" but I can't get any discount from there before next Christmas (My small duty-free haul consisted of one NP, and the UD Naked 2 Palette.

Re Peridot, I jokingly asked my husband what colour he thought it was.... "Ummm, I don't know"Like WOW Jennyap!!! Love your manis!

I wouldn't worry too much about the wear I got from Spring Ball, I have pretty soft nails. The chips aren't that bad, nothing anyone else (except maybe a fellow NPA

Need your help, girls.
So, I put on an astonishing green glitter polish and wanted to mattify it. I have Essie's Matte topcoat which I hadn't used for about a year, I guess. I immediately put it on when my green polish was in place and it mattified the first two nails and appeared to be a usual glossy topcoat at the rest of my nails.
I don't get it. It just doesn't work. Was the main polish to wet? To dry?
Any input?
Buick, Illamasqua sucks. Nothing else to say about that.

Lovely Mani's everyone! I haven't had time to post since my assistant is on vacation. Remind me to never approve a vacation for her again
I've never heard of that before! I usually put it on semi wet nails and never have a problem. I wonder if it's cause it's glitter?

Ok ladies, I hope you're ready for this, it's haul time!
First up, my Diors - Spring Ball and Diablotine. Really looking forward to wearing Diablotine.
Then I headed to TKMaxx, where I picked up a set of Orlys - Devil May Care, Unlawful and Miss Conduct (fab scatter holo!) and a Leighton Denny duo - Hanky-Panky and Up In The Air
Next was Poundland, yes, these were £1 each. Never thought to look in there before! This is MNY 461 and 757, and W7 Sunset
and then onto Boots, who had 3 for 2 on almost all makeup, so I picked up a few Models Own polishes: Aqua Violet, Purple Brown, Tropical Sun, Haley's Comet and Ibiza Mix, plus L'Oreal Diamond Carat (I really wanted to get Confetti, but I've never seen it in stock).
and finally I went into Superdrug looking for the BeautyUK dupe of Polka.com They didn't have it, but I picked up Accessorize Leopard Moth, and 2True Glitterati Shade 5
That was all in one day
and I figured I was done for the week, but then I discovered that the Boots near my office had revamped their Revlon display and made room for more polishes! First time I'd seen Girly anywhere, but can't say it appeals to me. I did get Cherries in Snow (can't resist that name) and Heavenly
...and that's the lot

Diablotine is bright, very pretty ( I am wearing it on toes ), perfect for spring and summer I think.
Leighton Denny well I don't know the brand, Orly such vivid colours. Let me see... 20 new polishes, decent yes very decent !

Wowza!!!! Way to go Jennyap.
Haul big or haul home (your ass that is). You did good. I love your color choices----you seem to favor corals & reds like me----and blue and glitter, etc., etc.

That's a new thing for this haul - up till now I think I only had about half a dozen reds/oranges/corals combined, but that was definitely what I was drawn to. Must be spring! Blues, greens and purples are my real comfort zone. I'm just starting to explore the world of glitter.Wowza!!!! Way to go Jennyap.Haul big or haul home (your ass that is). You did good.

I love the look of glitter but I detest the removal process. Nevertheless, I've added a few to my growing stash. I'm really enjoying the 'shimmer' NPs
