Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

Congrats getting the deal in store! I have the yellow Butters Jasper and Cheeky Chops. I still need Bumster, which is one of the colors I'm thinking about ordering from Macy's. Nordstrom no longer has it.
I love Whimsical. It's the polish that made me like glitters. But I didn't wear it alone. I wore it layered over a pale blue/mint polish. It may have been China Glaze For Audrey, but I can't remember. A pretty pale or light pink should work too. I hope you give it another shot.

I thought you already had Bumster. It's much more muted and totally unlike Jasper & Cheeky Chops but I still like it. Why I may even get to wear it one day.

It would make an interesting neutral. It's available on BL's site, and they now have free shipping on orders > $50...no code required.

thanks for posting the links. I LOVVE squatter.

Isn't it insane? I can't wait to wear it. It's a majorly happy green!

I as thinking of that when I was painting cuz seriously I did like 5 coats! I peeled it right off today lol I just used Poole I think I will try it over that in a day or two before I change it.

How do you like Poole Naughtyp? I almost wore mine on Sat but I needed a lighter shade. I opted for MAC's Hyperion & topped it w/Dior's Crystal. It almost looked like a formidable dupe for Dior's Nymphea.

You earned that amazing haul Anitacska!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Yes I did ! Smooth textures - I only tried 2, it was a simple combo - and pretty shades, long-wearing too. The other quad looks pretty but Bare My Soul is really beautiful ( actually I have only 4 M.A.C quads I think most are overrated but not this one ).
Today, I saw Bel Argus

and some items from Chanel summer 2013, it will be launched on the 17th ! Can't wait !

Great haul Dominique!!! Which of the MAC lippies did you get? Glad you like the BMS quad. I need it like I need a hole in the head but I preordered it anyway.

Two of them arrived damaged. I ordered replacements and one of the replacements arrived damaged. The polish leaked. I also ordered Dior Dauphine Pink. I remember seeing it on Neiman's site and you mentioning that you got it. By the time I decided to order it, it disappeared. I saw it pop up back online and I grabbed it. The box has clearly been opened! One of the flaps is folded down, the polish wasn't in the box correctly and the top was on backwards. I can't order a replacement for it because it disappeared from the site again after I ordered it. The polish itself looks fine, though. But still, just knowing someone opened my box and handled my polish bothers me. Not sure what I should do since this color doesn't seem to be available anywhere else. I think I'll have to grin and bear it.



Ulta also has the set. I'm still tempted. Where is it at Macy's site? I couldn't find it.

That's just awful that you have to deal with that. It might be time to put this in writing to management. I don't blame you for being concerned about the condition of the boxes because that's how you store your collection right? Anything deemed 'NEW' should be in mint condition!!!

Here it is. You're correct---it was buried. Mine has already shipped:

Sephora has the Illamasqua Paranormal polishes. I just ordered them.

Pink Raindrops still isn't available. Maybe they're waiting to get the regular Raindrops in stock first.

You all have me excited for the Temperature Rising quads. Those are pretty polishes, Anneri. I agree with Dominique, Caractère is beautiful and will be a nice gift.

The Paranormals are a skip for me, but I think they'll look amazing on your beautiful nails! I really, really want both of the Rain Drops and hope I don't miss them when Sephora gets them in. I posted for a notification E-mail months ago. Fingers crossed!

I only have 1 MAC quad, All Woman. But I don't think I have a lot of eye shadow makeup to begin with. I mostly have MAC single shadows and Chanel quads. I have 6 Chanel quads and looking forward to more.

I like my Chanel quads for the most part but I've been disappointed with a couple of the eyeshadows, and I've yet to hit pan on any of them. I have one UD palette and I've used it twice, that I can recall. Overall, my E/S collection is pretty brand diverse but I've managed to fill 12 MAC PRO E/S palettes, so why I'm still buying E/S from any brand is a mystery to me. I---can't---help----myself!!!

 

[Medgal07]

@ annieri im glad you like your BL polishes. LD is gorgeous!

@annieri and Dominique. BOTH OF YOU STOP IT! YOU ARE MAKING ME WANT THAT QUAD!!!

@ MEDGAL- i agree. Essie has to add a yellow to their collection!

Crazy right Kimibos?? Essie must have a million iterations of every other color yet heretofore, not a single yellow other than this LE RL polish

CartoonChic - I picked up all the Mermaids today at Nordstroms. I don't know if you picked them up yet. I just logged in and I'm at 659 unread posts. This thread is insane. I can't keep up. I'll try to do better. I didn't hear of any Buy 2 Get 1 sales but I went to the trend event and on the back of one of the handouts it said there would be double points May 22 and 23rd. Wait, this isn't so exciting after all. Is it triple points we want? I get so confused because it is Bloomies triple point beauty days that I look forward to. Well an any case maybe you can get them then if you haven't already (can't read 600+ posts now).

Very Nice haul!!! I'm not a lover of glitter but being surrounded by NPAs the incredible likes of this group I'm gradually coming around. I picked up Million Dollar Mermaid a few weeks ago. Apparently my daughter saw it in a magazine, asked if I have it and informed me that she's panting her nails w/it during our next M&MT (Mommy & Me Time). I suppose I'll be buying another one if she likes it!

Exactly! As a mum of 3 I earn a new polish every day! And that's the reasoning behind me ordering 7 new Nails Inc polishes from QVC yesterday!

Not sure if they do CC

I didn't realize that BL had exclusives at more than one store either. It seems like you have to be a real huntress to find this stuff!

I thought you already had Bumster. It's much more muted and totally unlike Jasper & Cheeky Chops but I still like it. Why I may even get to wear it one day.

Butter has exclusives all over the place. I know of Nordstrom, Macy's, Dillard's and Ulta. There are probably others, too. The funny thing is that Beauty.com seems to get all of these "exclusive" colors.

I didn't order Bumster yet. It was in my cart when we did the $9 price match, but I swapped it out for another color last minute. I think I got Cheeky Chops instead because I wanted a more vibrant yellow. I'm too spoiled. I can't pay full price for Butter Londons anymore. I have to get some sort of discount.

Nordies told me they were having a gift w/ purchase around the 22nd. it's a pretty red chanel mu bag with skin care samples. the bag seemed smaller than the black and white ones I've seen.

Thanks for the heads up! Is this at all Nordies and do you know the minimum spend for the GWP?

sounds pretty!! I liked Poole alot it totally matched my pool lol. It did chip already tho but I am a cashier lol so I put the whimsical (DL glitter in the air dupe)over it and I like it. much better this way! I haven't worn nymphea yet but I'm going to try n copy u lol I have a Essie shimmer topcoat in going to use over it.. I should probably get that crystal polish too tho lol it looks so pretty over everything!

I also signed up for the notification, but I'm still stalking. If I see it available before the notice goes out, I'll let you know.

Happy Mother's Day CC!! <3 and Medgal and Anitacska! and everyone else who is a mom lol

Which Picture Polishes do you have? I haven't swatched them yet, but I'm guessing Butter Fiver could be a dupe for Tiffany and Illamasqua Lament for Coral Reef. Honestly, I think they'll be very easy to dupe in any brand. Jade looks like Illamasqua Nomad, except Jade has shimmer!

That's a lot of eye shadow, but doesn't come close to your polish collection. I have my new MAC PRO palette still sitting in the box. I haven't opened it yet. I'm still too nervous to depot my shadows.
