I was out running errands, which is how I missed the Nordie's Ad & offer. If the gift showed up on your confirmation then I think you're okay. I told the rep that I was going to cancel the order--that's when she suggested that I visit the GWP page. I didn't know what on earth to pick

. I ended up going for the Prada Candy Shower Milk.

I saw the Dior GWP earlier today, too. I was just about to leave and run errands. I was going to place an order when I got back home, but decided to place an order quickly for one polish. The gift shows up on my confirmation, but no idea if it will ship. What GWP did you pick? More importantly, what did you say to get them to give you another GWP?

 

[Medgal07]

No way Nayadine. Our CC holds that honor. I'll settle for 'princess'

Medgal, you are the queen of hauls!

 

[Medgal07]

Wish I could be of help Anneri but I've never used a mattifier. Might this be something else that Medgal needs to look into??

Reverse enabling?

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.

 

[Medgal07]

So pretty Jennyap!!!

And what a great idea to get through untrieds!!

 

[Medgal07]

Oh so pretty, yes so pretty...she sings merrily at the sight of newly hauled NP. ENJOY Naughtyp and be sure to share your manis!!

Saw this and thought of all my np addicts!

 

[Medgal07]

Why did you whisper that MRV?? It's okay if you also got Mariah 'FLY.' Oh----- did I just shout that??

Quote:

They have really excelled it seems. I have not received my order either.

If I had known I could have ordered the speckles from ASOS but now it's too late!


I also have the blue mariah and Fly. They are nice so you can't pass on them!

I want to see your Diablotine mani CC. I've only used one of the four NPs in that collection. I need to up my game and get cracking. Today I wore MAC's Angel, which is a really pretty pink. I wanted to tone things down a bit, from my Chanel Fracas mani of yesterday.

Beautiful manis and hauls. I'm always inspired every I time I come to this thread. That's really awful about your Illamasqua orders Buick.

I got my first Nordstrom order yesterday. It was the Dior Sparkling collection and the Abricot creme. I'm doing a mani tonight with Diablotine. It's gorgeous. I tried the creme last night. It's thick like reviews have said. My cuticles aren't as white and dry like they have been. I only applied it last night before going to bed and went through my usual day today. I can see a difference after that one application. It's also a lot bigger than I expected. I can see why it lasts a long time.

I got my two YSLs and Dior Perfecto delivered today. Tomorrow I should get my Taboo, Lippmanns and the rest of my Butter Londons. I also went to Staples and got a pack of the 2" loose binder rings. The nail sticks still fit on it. I was worried the larger rings would be too thick for the sticks. I think I prefer the 1.5" rings. I can fit 25 sticks comfortably on the 2" rings, so not much more than the 20 on the 1.5" rings. The bigger rings are also stiffer and harder to open.

Oh I hope it arrives Anitacska---pretty lady!

 

[Medgal07]

Absolutely CC. I think you're in the clear. I got two packages today and will likely get another one tomorrow. I hope I get to open everything---so busy and distracted by holiday activities. How dare life interfere with my NP activities.

My Dior order for the Dior GWP shipped. It shows up on the shipping notice, so I think that means I have it. I've ordered things with GWPs before that appear on my order confirmation, but then I don't receive them with my package because they sold out. I guess seeing it on the shipping invoice is a good sign.

I'm expecting 3 more packages today and that should be the last from my Nordstrom triple points haul.

 

[Medgal07]

Fingers crossed!!!!!

The eBay seller marked the customs form as gift, so it's very likely that the package isn't with Customs, hope it hasn't got lost in the post. No post tomorrow, maybe it'll come on Saturday... I'm getting impatient.

 

[Medgal07]

You champion, you!!!

My Dior GWP shipped w/o the original GWP, but my GWP selection shipped separately.

we only wished it was from mariah!!!! we are both whispering it because its from the nickie minaj collection!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

The pink one on the first row looks like Dior Princess---nice & shimmery!

Guerlain nail polishes ( 10 so far ), very bright I think. It looks promising !

 

[Medgal07]

It's a good thing you insisted that they go to the back to find the Dior Lilac. It's almost like they're trying to hide it---even on the Sephora web site it's seemingly buried and not even shown with their other Dior NPs. Does anyone else think that's odd

or is it just me???

lol I didn't ask them the first time cuz I wasn't sure I really wanted it. so I woulda felt bad if I didn't get it after they went to the back to find it for me . but ur pics and medgals convinced me I needed it and I'm glad I got it its totally different from all my other light purples!
i like the DL pink one I'm glad I got it its different enough from my nails inc sprinkles d my hard candy ones. I still want one more that part of the nails inc ice cream set and then I think I'll be good lol. that would give me a total of 15 sprinkles/spreckles np!


MRV and Jenny I love both manis! I started using two t a time too lol one for my finger one for my toes lol I still have tons more to try tho!

 

[Medgal07]

Oh MRV---that palette is just gorgeous!!! I agree---great deal!!!

uhh that abricot cream sounds good. i have the lush one and o dont like it. i usually go with oils. nice haul and i hope you get everything soon.
i can see the difference, they both look pretty!
nice haul. cant wait to see you wearing the pink staccato.
i hope you get your stuff soon and safe.
lol i wish it was my haul. thats naughtyp's one.
E:L palette at 70% off omg total deal. and that dark lipsticks looks gorgeous

. and the snowcone polish is soo cute! and the your mani too. im going to ignore the hare polishes tho. not even going to google them.

 

[Medgal07]

TROUBLE??? Should we be avoiding the brand for some reason???

Those are pretty. But I've had trouble getting into the Guerlain brand.

 

[Medgal07]

Very pretty on you CC!

Which of the four in this collection do you like best???

Dior Diablotine

It's cloudy, but I couldn't resist taking pictures anyway. The color looks much prettier to me in person. It's such a bright, happy cherry red. The second pic is more accurate to the color on me. I don't think the pics fully show the shimmer. I used the Dior Gel Coat top coat. I don't think it took any longer to dry. Seems the same as the Butter London top coat to me.
