Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

PSA (Polish Service Announcement): Butter London is having their 30% Friends & Family sale. Plus Nordstrom has the new Chanel polishes from the fall Superstition collection.

I'm getting the Chanels, but I'm waiting to use a Nordstrom note. I couldn't ignore the Butter sale. I'm proud I kept it small. It was a chance to get colors at a discount that I couldn't price match at Nordstrom. Keks is on their site now.

Thanks HOB---you just killed my quota for next month! But does it count since it's my birth
month????

I needed a little Zoya love. I kept it real by only ordering 8, plus free shipping!

I first checked whatshebuys.com because they have free shipping but you missed that one---they no longer have it. Beauty.com does, but I don't think
it offers free shipping for this single item.

CC we've been wanting Keks for some time now haven't we? I nabbed it at Ulta since neither Nordie's or Macy's had it, and we already have the two
NPs in that 'Pop Art' collex, as they call it. I already ordered Chanel's Alchimie, Elixir & Mysterious from the fall collection. What can I say, the hubs is
OOT on business---I was suffering extreme boredom & insomnia.

That's a nice way to console yourself in the meantime.

Yes, we've been waiting for it since April. The description on Butter's site for Keks is that it's "Brit slang for men’s pants." I like Naynadine's cookie monster description much better.

What did you get? I'm trying to decide. I only have a few colors from that list. I know I want Arizona.

Ulta has an OPI buy 2 for $15 sale. Not sure if that's a good sale or not since I don't buy OPI.

honey, you use Remove+ and change your polish frequently, right? Do you find Remove+ drying to your nails, or does your moisturizing/cuticle routine automatically combat the dryness? I'm thinking about purchasing a large refill bottle of Remove+ since I'm going through the smaller 8oz bottles like water. But I'm noticing dry nail beds and I think it's from my increased usage of nail polish remover. I will admit that I haven't been moisturizing my nails and cuticles like I should, so I know that's also contributing to the dryness.

I can't keep up with this thread!

Kiko wheels! Many of the colours in the first wheel look really similar here but they're actually pretty different IRL.



And today's mani:

Three cheers for Anneri!

Ginessa
Goldie
Jancyn
Kimmy
Lara
Pippa
Tanzy
Tracie

That's probably why then CC!!

Get back to using your Creme Abricot!!

I only got two because they were on my wish-list from eons ago!! I didn't have any solid reference for anything else....maybe that's a good thing

 

[Medgal07]

OMG---I died and went to NPW (nail polish wheel) heaven

I adore the pinks and peaches and the blues & greens---oh hell I just love them all.
It's been a rainy, dreary day and this totally brightened things a bit for me. GREAT mani too!!!
Thanks Buick!!

CartoonChic I would recommand hemp cream for your hands and the Crème Abricot as Medgal says. Hemp is very good, it doesn't smell so good but balms containing hemp are effective. The Body Shop has specific products, it's a permanent range. After applying your cream, put gloves on ( organic cotton, available at the Body Shop ) and keep them all night.
You also have specific nail care from Peggy Sage : Emollient Manicure Bath. Not pricey ( 12 € here ) for 10 tablets. It smells very good.
Hope this was useful.

I have ZERO patience for detail work so this is as simple as it gets Just paint a base color on your nails, let it dry. Then when it dries make little balls out of clingwrap. Then paint a contrasting color all over your nail and lightly pad the clingwrap ball on your nail to remove some of the color and make patterns. I made a video on it (Guess I cant link it due to the rules?). Link to my YT is in my sig though if you want to look at it, or just search "Saran wrap nails" on YT! I want to do it on my toes..

Thanks Honi. Doing this would be an act of desperation for me!
