Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Naynadine]

Eh, you get the idea. Idk why it's so dark, and ignore the filter, lol, I was trying a new way to upload it and it wouldn't let me use the original.

Looks beautiful!

What are in the boxes? Blush? Powder?

Yes, it's the pink blush out of the two from that collection (made me realise once again that intense pink blushes are not for me, will stay away from shades like that in the future), and the eye shadow in Sugar Rose. The lippie is a balm that looks bright almost neon pink in the tube, but is sheer on the lips. I have only swatched the polish so far, but the color is really pretty, can't wait to wear it. I'm still trying to grow my nails.

I'm testing a nail care pen at the moment, let's see if that does anything to make them stronger.

It's a beautiful set, so lovely !

I have the balm ( only the balm in fact ), it looks neon but it's really very sheer I think. The blush looks very pretty, we don't have such a set here, maybe on Lancôme website, LE editions are not available at Sephora or elsewhere, we just have the Gloss in Love, some new lipsticks Rouges in Love, 1 balm and some polishes.

I believe mine is more like a press sample set, and not meant to be for sale. Got it from ebay.

 

[Dominique33]

Glad you could get that set, it's really pretty !

Did we see these yet?

I'm kinda interested in the black textured one from the Halloween colection.

 

[Liz2012]

Thanks for the warm welcome back ladies!

Will take some pics of my recent hauls tomorrow, already dark here atm

And Buick & Anneri, please let me know if you like the Kiko polishes once you've tried them, i'm planning a trip to Oberhausen next saturday and they have a Kiko store there if i'm not mistaken. Maybe i'll haul some then if the formula is nice

Lovely!



Hi Liz! Great to see you back!



This is a stunning blue even without the duochrome.



Hope they can fix it and soon.



Gorgeous! I tend to wear glitters only on a few nails as accents. I think I would go crazy removing them from every nail.

I think I've missed a few posts. MRV, love Million Dollar Mermaid. I so can't wait to wear mine.

Buick, fantastic haul!

Thankfully, the air comes out of the monkey's mouth and not the other end.

If you study the 'wind' pic, I'm not so sure where it comes from...

 

[Medgal07]

Now that's something I would buy.

Aw, the np thread isn't as much fun since I can't see any pics. But I have seen that monkey before, so I knew what you guys were talking about.

I got my Lancome set.

I want to post a pic, because the box it came in looks so nice, but my phone is not cooperating.
I'm actually really liking the wide brush, haven't seen anything like that before. The shape of it seems to make applying much easier.

That's great Naynadine. Which ones are in your set? I'm constructing my Lancome list, so I'm also eager to hear your thoughts. The colors are so beautiful, and I got good recommendations from Monsy. We need our ability to post pics---to many tech problems these days, I fear.

 

[Medgal07]

Sounds great!

They'd look gorgeous on your nails

. I'm not really into browns but French Roast was too unique to miss. And Dark Horse is black and holo glitter in a clear base, which was good enough reason for me to get it. Oh, and they were in the sale!

Hang in there Meds. 2 more days and you can haul to your heart's content!

Huge fail---went to the pharmacy w/a $2 off coupon for Essie Summer collex. I picked up Rock the Boat (Pale blue w/shimmer).

It was only one itty bitty NP--shouldn't count against me!


Hehe. No way that's going to work with my small nails. It could look good on long nails though.


Yup, it's pretty colour accurate. At least on my monitor.



LOL. Only in the NP thread!

Hi ladies! I haven't posted for weeks, don't really know why, I've been reading all along, and I've posted on some others, but not here for some reason. Weird. I've not been too well - picked up a nasty chest infection and I still have a bad cough, sooo annoying - but that's no excuse! Anyway, I'm here now...

CC - a-freaking-mazing haul as always!

Anneri - love your frankens!

I want to see The Bulge please!! We've been hearing about it so bring it on!!!!

Medgal wants to see The Bulge? Medgal shall see The Bulge.


Behold, The Bulge. And monkey.

Seriously, that IS the best NP pic ever. He's cute. And I think he looks a bit like you

 

[jennyap]

And now my turn to post pics.

I finally caved and ordered some of the Color Club holos. These are Blue Heaven (which they sent me instead of Cloud Nine, oh well!), Angel Kiss, Kismet, then Over The Moon, Miss Bliss, Eternal Beauty. I've just worn Angel Kiss so far...



I have hauled more since then, but didn't take photos

See, told you I've been ill! I got the Dior Bahia duo and all the new Models Own flakies. I think that was all!

Orange was my theme colour for May, so I have a few orange manis:



Leighton Denny Hanky Panky - this was terrible! It was streaky and draggy and brushstroky and chipped almost instantly.



Models Own Tropical Sun



My "All About Orange" mani - or what I dubbed my "Juiced" mani LOL. Dirt cheap too, I think the 3 polishes I used for this cost less in total than 1 Essie!
If I remember rightly, it's Sinful Colours Cloud 9, Maybelline Color Show Shock Wave and W7 Sunset

Then we have a couple more of my favourite A-Englands (dying to get my hands on the new collection - payday soon )



Ascalon, Holy Grail

And finally, I had a bit of a play with my nail wheels, swatched my glitters and a couple of sheerer polishes over black and white. Same order on each, not sure I can remember what they are though, oops.

 

[CartoonChic]

I went and ordered the pink and blue Lippmann Mermaid polishes, Mermaid's Kiss and Mermaid's Eyes. The orange and purple Mermaids have disappeared from Nordstrom's site. I haven't seen anything that said the Mermaids are LE, so they could be restocked. I just didn't want to take that chance. The pink and blue Mermaids are the two colors I still needed to get. YSL Corail Colisee and Rose Renaissance also jumped into my cart.

That's a pretty set, Naynadine. I think I'm going to give in to the Lancome peer pressure soon.

Beautiful, I absolutely love this


Have you tried uploading pics directly to Specktra from your computer? That's what I do. Otherwise yeah try Flickr.


Very nice. She's In Parties and Cruel Summer are my faves.


All brands I've never heard of, and all stunning!

Jenny! Great to have you back as well. Sorry that you've been ill. Glad you're feeling better.

Beautiful manis.

I especially love your Juiced mani. I just noticed it's a triad mani, too!

You were already over your limit this month, so, nope, doesn't count.

 

[Medgal07]

Ladies--psst. Come closer---did you hear the stir that Buick is causing in the TR thread???

Yep---saw it for myself. Her stunningly beautiful photo has even generated a marriage proposal. I'm not surprised because she is GORGEOUS!!! Check it out!!
