Saw this on Instagram, decided to purchase such a nice spring/summer color Lancôme "Aqua Bleu" with Julep "Sienna"

Mermaid's nail polishes are really beautiful ! I have just one " Mermaid's dream " it'a a kind of sand and micro glitter texture,
Great and not dupable so far ! We don't have Deborah Lippmann here so I'll order from Beauty Bay but my wishlist is starting with the Chanel ones ( the 3 summer ones ) and Dior Mix looks very pretty too.

Thanks for posting and sharing manis and polishes !

.....awesome, Naughtyp!


Great haul and gorgeous manis

 

[jennyap]

My current mani! Sally Hansen Electric Violet topped with an oldie but goodie: China Glaze Electric Lilac

Wow, this is gorgeous!

Haul/photo time! (I went from a very small haul to a kinda large one. My untrieds drawer is almost full, eep!)

Oh, but let's start with a mani. I had a break from purple to put on AE Saint George.


Then the weekend haul, thankfully mostly cheapy/drugstore/on offer




My Boots just started stocking Sinful Colors (and Nails Inc, but I avoided that this time). These are
Let's Meet, Cloud 9, Hottie, Pinky Glitter, Bali Mist.




Got Confettis finally! L'Oreal was on 3 for 2, so also picked up Divine Indigo and Versailles Gold. Then the best bargain of the day, BL West End Wonderland, which was in a set with the lippy for £3!




NYC Rock Muse, East Village, Prince Street




Look Beauty Cool Britannia (supposedly red, white & blue - the white is really silver, and the blue is sadly so subtle it's barely visible, but still like it), Maybelline Charged and Ready, Wine Shimmer (more pink IRL)




Givenchy Croisiere Purple (from my previous haul), Lancome Aquamarine (couldn't resist after Monsy's beautiful swatches!) and Essie Hip-Anema

I can't quite envision the dip in the middle

No offense to your cousin but it sounds equally grotesque .

It is vulgar, here we call them " cagoles " ( girls who wear that kind of manicure ), have you heard of Nabilla ? She epitomizes porn culture ( under culture ), under IQ, cheap, cheap, cheap and she's not pretty at all ( seeing her I know she underwent plastic surgery for her breasts, nose, cheeks and more I guess ). Duck manicure would be perfect for Nabilla but curiously enough I found this manicure on Cosmopolitan.fr !

Back to neat manicures :

Beautiful mani Jenny! I too needed a break from purple. I'm certain St George was one of my selections in my original AE order--it's really pretty.
I love all of your NPs and swatches. I love your color and texture selections. Enjoy them all!!!

Truly awesome haul Naughtyp!!! Gorgeous mani too. When you have on a NP that pretty you keep staring at your own nails right?

Great wish list Dominique!!!! The Dior Duos are super cute. The Chanel Azure & Bel Argus from the summer collection are both really very pretty. I skipped the deep coral one, Lilis,-----well because it was just deep coral and seemingly a readily dupable shade. In fact, it looks a lot like Dior's Riviera, which I already have. If it's not, I might have to bite the bullit and purchase it. As a flaming NP addict it only takes a subtle difference to give me a reason to add a new NP to my stash.

 

[Medgal07]

DL love-----beautiful Naughtyp.

Yup, dead serious. Oh no Buick

I think I have a warped notion of tacky. What do you expect from someone who combines VG Nicki 1 with a sky blue eye?

CREATIVE----good for you. There are too many rules around makeup & NP. I say EXPRESS YOURSELF!!!!


I actually wore it for 2 whole days! I put in on Thursday evening and took it off last night. I'm very proud of myself

Way to go!!!

That, and there's the financial side of things. Coke's expensive. You don't want to be shovelling it up your hooter. That's going to mean no NP money and that's not nice.

I honestly don't know what it's actually called. Most of the blogs I've seen call it FB but I noticed that the Butter London website calls it BF.

So what, who cares?? said in a Tony Soprano voice

I bought it a few weeks ago, but my first attempt with it was not encouraging. I used some glitter polish over it and it hold up well for a few days, but removal was a pain. It didn't come away in one or two larger pieces, but in a billion tiny ones, and I felt that in the time the removal took and could've used nail polish remover instead. I also didn't feel that the whole process of literally scratching it off with my nails was good for them. I was a bit disappointed.
If you want to try it, apparently the ingredients are the same in something called Elmer's Glue?

Thanks for your feedback. Glitter was everywhere after removing the Lippmann Staccato polish and I only had it on 4 fingers. I recall honey on boost mentioning the Essence base coat, so I wanted to try it. The reviews I read looked promising. I haven't had any luck in finding it, though. I think I'm going to give up looking for it after your review. Ah, good ol' Elmer's! I remember rubbing it on the palm of my hand as a kid and peeling it off pretending it was snake skin. It would probably be great as a glitter base.

lol I used to do that with glue too!

 

[CartoonChic]

Essence peel away base coat??? Do tell CC. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. Is this something that might make me more amenable to wearing glitter NPs? That would be awesome because I love how beautiful they look.

Glad your discoloration is getting better. Have you been using your Dior cuticle cream? It's supposed to encourage nail growth too.

I haven't been able to find the Essence base coat, so I'm giving up. I haven't done squat to my nails for the past two weeks, so I haven't been using the Dior cream either. I plan to do my nails today or tomorrow and will get back into the swing of things.
