Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

I know! I actually placed 2 orders in one night because I didn't want to miss out on the newly restocked polishes. They kindly combined the two orders for me and refunded the difference.

It's very pretty ! I love the texture.

Wanted : red and rose shades maybe ? It's very cold here too, normally it's 20 ° celsius and it's 11 ° but to feel warm I bought Bronze Goddess perfume, it's a comfort !
Now here there are :

Just wanted to stop in and say Hi

Miss all you ladies! I've been popping in here and then on my phone to see what's been going on. Work has been insane the past two weeks. I need another vacation! lol

:haha: [COLOR=0000FF] I did another polish change.  I went from Butter London Primrose Hill Picnic to Dior Lilac, which I love. It fit right in with the purple challenge for the makeup theme thread.  I also used the Dior Gel top coat, so we'll see if this mani lasts longer than the BL PRHP did.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Wow Kimibos.  Those nails look amazing [/COLOR]:flower: [COLOR=0000FF] I think these amazing NPs look better on long nails---they show the polish so much nicer[/COLOR]:eyelove:

I thought I submitted this already last night lol darn it! I'm doing purple in June for my bday month. how long did PHP last with the gel coat?

There's no difference in formula or brushes in the US. It's just a different bottle design. As mentioned, the drug store version has the UPC sticker and a label of the color name on the cap with a white and/or glass Essie logo printed on the bottle. The salon bottles have no stickers or labels on the caps and only the glass logo. I prefer the salon bottles visually. My Essie collection is new. I started buying them in February and I only had 4 of them. I decided to switch to the salon version bottles when I learned about the difference. If my collection was older and larger, I probably wouldn't have bothered. You can get the salon version at salon locations, Ulta, etc. The drug store version can be found at Walmart, Beauty.com, etc.

it's funny I never noticed the difference until last year. the minis are in the salon style as well. I have more of the drugstore versions from my target hauls lol. I usually don't get Essie at ulta cuz it's cheaper at cvs or target of Walmart. I'm sad that orly changed their bottles cuz now my collection will not be the same So i understand why u want all ur bottles to look the same

On your broken and newly shortened nails. I hope they grow to your preferred length quickly. Funny you should mention Jin Soon NP because I've been eyeing a few shades in that brand, and expect to start adding some to my collection. I've seen them at Nordstrom, but I can't speak to the quality of the polish. Have you used Jin Soon, and if so what do you think of it?

No, I have never used them before. I just a saw pic of a really pretty peachy pink that got me interested, and I remembered I also saw a gray one once that I liked a lot. I had forgotten about the brand in the meantime.
If you try them let us know how you like them!

 

[Naynadine]

my thumb nail just broke too! now I have to cut all of mine too ;( when I square mine the corners always break!!! I hope there's swatches of the CG summer collex out soon!!

Ugh, mine too! I hate that. I'm still trying to find the perfect nail shape for me.

Nice haul! I was thinking of Sci-Fly By, too, but ended up getting 3 of the darker ones.


Oh, it's a bargain then. I need to start bying more at a time but sometimes it's just impossible because the polishes are literally flying off your cart!


Yep, it's a holo-glitter! I need this and some pretty ugly mentality!

Finally last week I got my hands on some specklies! This is Fragile. Loved the texture, thin but opaque.



The colour is very appropriate - cold. We got a few inches of snow yesterday!

snow? wth?
I love the blue! I might have to get it.

i prefer them too. may seem silly, but they just look nicer to me. but if i find a color at a drugstore i can't get anywhere else, i'll buy it.

[Medgal07]

Awwww

hahahaha

 

[Medgal07]

Lol, nooo, not all of them! I do like the lavender one, though.
Waiting for that one polish drives me nuts. I buy ONE polish and expect it any day, but it's not showing up. By the time it gets here the colour will be out of style, lol.


Thanks for the link. I guess there's no website that ships Jin Soon to Europe. It's not that I was ready to place an order anyway, I was just wondering where to get them since I have seen some nice pics of them.

I made the mistake of not applying the gel top coat with BL's PHP, but I did put it on with Dior's Lilac and the difference is unbelievable. I've engaged in some of the exact same activities and the Lilac looks as fresh, two days later as it did on the day that I applied it. I think I'll be using the gel top coat more now.

Are you doing purple in June for your birthday month because it's your favorite color???

I thought I submitted this already last night lol darn it! I'm doing purple in June for my bday month. how long did PHP last with the gel coat?

 

[MACina]

Miss you on here too, honey on boost

 

[CartoonChic]

Lol! I thought we haven't seen you around because you already were on vacation.

Here's the black & white mani I mentioned that I wanted to do. I call it Cookies & Cream. This is my first time wearing black or white polish.

Deborah Lippmann Polka Dots and Moonbeams - pinky, index
Chanel Black Satin - middle, thumb
Chanel Eastern Light - ring

I ran over to a Sally's today to make use of that China Glaze sale and get this: They had little signs by the polishes that said Buy 2 Get 1 for all Orly, BUT Buy 1 Get 1 for all China Glaze, including the holos.

I had to show the guy the little sign, but yep, I got 4 of the 6 CG holos I'd wanted for a grand total of $21, including L.A.'s very high sales tax. 'Got the lavender, pale pink, dark fuchsia and dark grey. I'd wanted the light grey and the deep plum, but those were all gone. They had most of Avant Garden available too, but I already have all those lovelies. I'm going to be stalking that store for the GC texture collection - that should be out before the end of this sale.
