Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

Anitacska---they're soooooo pretty! I love them! I hope you'll share a mani or two using these!

The new Models Own Splash polishes, these are flakies.







I have also ordered the new Dior polish duo (with the green and teal polishes) with 15% off yesterday. My Enchanted Polishes are finally on their way, I've had my shipping notice!

Still waiting for last Friday's Sally Magpie order which I'm not too happy about and my Llarowe order from last Friday, but I know that will probably be another week. Now if only I could order the new Chanel polishes...

 

[Medgal07]

Holy Moly---I'm reading backwards and this just keeps getting better! So awesome! You and CC don't play! Just beautiful!!!

Here's the other QVC Nails Inc order, these are "metal flip" (duochrome) polishes.

 

[Medgal07]

That sucks about you windows Anitacska, but that's an amazing haul! The sprinkles Nails Inc polishes look similar to the Lippmann mermaid polishes.

Good luck getting Taboo, MRV. That is sweet that you got your Taboo early Anneri.

Re: Chanel Chipping - I've read other people mention that Chanels chip very quickly on them. Some have said that the Chanel polishes don't get along with the base coat and/or top coat that they're using.

That's interesting CC. I've decided to use my Dior Gel Top Coat w/my next Chanel mani that I want to last more than two days, but I will definitely experiment w/base coats too.

Keep us updated on your experiments, would you?
Chanels ALWAYS chip on me, no matter what. Of coure, I could make a project out of it and do two test series, one with various base coats and one with top coats, but I think I'm too lazy for that.

I also had to buy some top and base coats, and those are the polishes I don't like shopping for - soooo booooooring!

But if you say the Dior topcoat helps, I'll be willingly enabled!

Beautezine has a review on the Butter London Summer Holiday Collection:

Oh, no. Not again. Speaking of Llarowe, did you get Winter Hyacinth already? Forgot to mention earlier that I wore it for 4 days and there was only minor tip wear on some nails. Awesome!

Yup, again. WH was a part of that order but they said it was backordered and that they'd ship it later. No idea WTF is going on but there's definitely something not right with the post. Most of my stuff I receive without issue but a few are giving me all kinds of grief. I also have a CP that should have arrived by now (posted on the 28th, I believe) but hasn't. I can't phone PostNL to see if they can see it in their system because I haven't got a USPS label number (the sender is currently away and hasn't got the label number with her). I'm hoping that she actually posted it later than the 28th because that would explain the delay. I doubt it though.

So yeah, it's pretty much SNAFU these days.

I bought all of these except Bobby Dazzler and Sunbaker. Bit Faker is my favorite, but I love glitter. It is probably my favorite BL collection thus far!

Your 10-a-month resolution went to the great gig in the sky, I take it?

Oh me oh my. Kiko has some real gems

Thank you for the offer

. I first need to see how my bank account is doing, but I'd definitely love to try some out.

Yeah, we want Kiko! We want Kiko!

Off topic - did you receive your iHerb order? I hope customs played nice.

Yup, all's good. I actually took some daylight snaps but I still need to do the flash ones and write the excel lists. I did RBL, Illamasqua, Cirque and L'Oreal. And possibly a couple more. I'll post them as soon as I can

Nice to see that the Thin White Duke's trouser snake has become a hit with Specktra's NPAs. My order that contained said body part went awol (USPS decided to send it on a sorting facility roadtrip) so LLarowe will send it again. The NP gods must hate me.

Speaking of droolworthy indies, this exquisite specimen is Majestic Flight by Emily de Molly. Crap pic, but the loveliness shines through

@ Buick : You're most welcome ( I have 2 Kiko stores nearby ) The issue : taxes and customs, I really don't know. Gems, well some are very pretty yes, worth trying I think
@Medgal : I didn't know there was a problem with the UK Kiko website, no problem with the French one. But I don't order anymore, I go to the Kiko stores. So if you need some ( NPAs always need nail polishes,

) no problem either

Nice haul, hazyday

It is really a very pretty collection!!!

There aren't any custom taxes for goods sent in the EU iirc.

@Buick and MRV: how much is shipping right now at Illamasqua for orders under 50£? Do you know that by any chance?

 

[Dominique33]

Hello Ladies! I've been MIA lately due to loads going on in my "real" life, including a decorator painting all our windows inside and outside which of course results in lots of cleaning afterwards, curtain washing, etc. Almost finished though...

Anyway, I have of course had time to place a few sneaky nail polish orders and have a few of them to show you today. First up are these Nails Inc beauties I got from QVC. They are like the sprinkles but with different size and colour glitters AND duochrome (excpet for the black, that's just black, but with holographic glitter).

Hopefully you can see the duochrome in the pictures!














Beautiful !

 

[BuickMackane]

Do you know that by any chance?

If your order includes NP or fragrance, it's GBP15, even when you spend over 50.

Standard shipping is GBP9 when you spend less than 50. I have no idea how much premium shipping is.

What do you have in mind?

 

[Naughtyp]

I hope it's fixed soon! Lol! The link relates to my indie polish haul from LLarowe that includes Scofflaw David Bowie's Bulge. I don't have the stamina to change my polish that often! I think I'm better of doing layers and skittles. I'm also going to stop being lazy and do more pedis. I'll do Naughty's trick of applying similar colors on the toes.

it really has helped lol

 

[Medgal07]

Sorry for the OT....but I am really sad

I cannot upload pics anymore since the last update of my Picasa

I have to call a computer technician to help me and hope that it will work again soon!

Soooo annoying

Hope you're up & running again soon MACina

 

[Medgal07]

The heat is officially on here! (+26 C) Looks like we went from winter to summer in a month!

Checked out the Chanel polishes on my lunch break: Taboo has arrived!

*They also had only one Azuré! Hope it's still there later this evening.

Hope you're able to get both MRV...fingers crossed!!

 

[Dominique33]

I'd better start swatch hunting then! 

Are there any colours that you'd recommend? ^^Wot she said

I already nabbed Poole, Marbs & Sunbaker but perhaps I need to take a second look at Bit Faker??? I'm trying to love glitter by buying and wearing more.

 

[Dominique33]

I would recommand some permanent ones, some LE and some Sugar Mat ( sand texture ) and maybe Mirror ones. esp. if you want to do nail art. Voilà )
