Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Naughtyp]

[COLOR=0000FF]The NARS duos look really pretty.  I immediately gravitated to the lavender and orange duo but I've had Pokerface, the lavender one for years now, and I just got YSL's Corail Divin.  I guess I'll set my sights on another two, but the other part of my dilemma is that I've almost already reached my self-imposed monthly quota.  I've purchased 9 NPs so far and I can only buy 1 more. What was I thinking????[/COLOR] :crybaby:

what are these nars duos u speak of? lol

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???

wait what is this?

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

ohhh pretty... I'm going to do something similar.

My phonecam can't handle this much of holoness!

awesome! who are they b y ?

 

[Prettypackages]

Thanks! Ugh. I don't do too well in the cold.



Thanks! I think I've outgrown all of my nail bed breaks, so I didn't cut them down. I can see my coke nails starting to appear because my pinky nails grow faster than my other nails. I like the square shape so I'll probably keep doing it for a while. I may even cut them short again.

Oh, I tried the Dior glass file for this mani and I like it a lot after my first use. I feel like my nails have a smoother edge and it didn't take as long to file them straight. My nails also seem stronger. I think I prefer using a glass file and will continue doing so. I might order the Dior nail kit from Sephora during the VIB sale. It comes with the glass file, a jar of Creme Abricot and some other items. I also like the bag it comes in.

I saw that dior kit, I might have to check it out now.

Yes you want them all, I too

but I think my wallet doesn't completely agree ! I love the OPI James Bond Girls collection, the Orly and Essie ones and I found the China Glaze texture ( texture or liquid sand polishes look really flattering on toes ), I also need the 3 Chanel summer collec. ones and both the Dior duos and the Nars Pierre Hardy ( 2 of them ) !

ohhhh, I don't see nothing wrooooong with a lil bump and grind.... LOL I love them all too.

The Crème Abricot is very good ( really thick though ), I think it's a perfect treatment for nails and cuticules but only for a while, then a good cuticle oil works well as a daily routine. The Crème Abricot is better applied at night and possibly along with cotton gloves for the whole night.

what do you mean for awhile? When should you switch?

 

[Naughtyp]

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

same here. mine are very round but I can't have them that long when they are like that. I like square nails but like we said the corners always break lol. I guess maybe I just need to use more strenghtner or something? I worke fake nails since I was 16 until last year. I would only buy np to get my toes done. then they made that Katy Perry collection and kardashian kolors and I've been stuck since! lol I bought so much np I told myself I couldn't even get my nails done anymore. they are still pretty think but are def stronger after using nailtiqes #2. hmm maybe that's what I'll use my $5 off T ulta for lol I was gonna use it to gt then essie Madison ave mini set. but I need to pick up my staple items so I can keep rockin all these pretty colors. I love the new MAC ones from temp rising!

Med, change it to no more than 10 a week. It's too drastic to go from 80/month to 10/month. Your body can't handle the shock! Even 10/week would total half of what you hauled last month, so that's still excellent progress.

EDIT: How do you like YSL Corail Divin? That's been on my to-buy list for some time.

Okay so I'm in a VERY silly mood--I was out in the sun watering flower beds this morning---can't help it.
When I read your post I got hysterical. Did you see the movie First Knight?

There's a scene with King Arthur on a throne in the courtyard----well in my mind you were King Arthur and I had to explain the NARS duos or OFF WITH MY HEAD. I think at this point you've seen the duos and I get to keep my head. Using it is a whole other story!

what are these nars duos u speak of? lol

 

[Dominique33]

We don't have NARS here.

So sorry. But if you need something from this collection, I'll send it to you. I do hope this collection will be launched here, I guess so !
