Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

TY, MACina! it's

BTW - do we like the Maybelline Dots Collection? http://www.beautyjunkiesunite.com/WP/2013/06/04/maybelline-color-show-polka-dots-collection-nail-lacquers-review-photos-swatches/

I just saw it at a shop and they are not expensive.

I even like a few of those---I see it as one more step out of my conservative NP box!!!

I was just trying to organize my makeup and polish stash, ughh... had to order another train case, because I don't know where to store all the stuff.

 

[MACina]

Do you store all you makeup/NPs in train cases?
Or just the BUs?

I think I have to start doing that. I just change from one NP to another too quickly, and don't nourish my nails.

The Abricot Creme has helped a little (I have used it every single night), but the sides are still problematic.


That's an awesome gift!


Mermaid's Dream On the Beach


Thank you for the gradient tip for mermaids, HOB. I will surely try that, too!

I'm the same way. I just go through the process of doing my nails without taking the time to nourish them before applying more polish. I didn't even realize that's what I was doing since I would moisturize after my nails were done.

Love the mani!

Mermaid's Dream is magical.

I bought a 2nd storage drawer for my polishes this past weekend. I put it together thinking I would have more space to grow into and it's already nearly full. I need to get a 3rd storage drawer now.

Thanks MRV---when the hubs asked what spa treatments I wanted for my birthday I said anything that starts with ANTI-AGING

Please. You've already found the fountain of youth and I want to learn your secret.

I found some wonderful blog pics to drool about: a lady's collection of Chanel and Dior polishes. She also has a lot of awesome dupe posts.

Okay so I know this is lame but It's a first for me. Admittedly, I'm a virgin (imagine that at my age) to the accent nail etc. Well no more! Here's my first EVER accent nail!!
Dior Pink Kimono & OPI Lights of Emerald City. Not great---but a start. Give me time.

Nice insomnia polish haul, Medgal. Although my favourite is the Chanel blush

Oh, I broke my current makeup no buy... for a Nars Satin Lip Pencil + sharpener. 10% off coupon, I basically had no other choice...

 

[MACina]

....awesome!!!!


I think that I sleep too much

Cannot wait to see the rest

Thanks Naynadine---I'm working through a Chanel wish list---lethal combo! Wish list + insomnia! A girl has to do what a girl has to do---at least you
got 10% off!! You did good!!!

Me too! That is why I am very glad that I can always order more of the dressers.I have them in my bed room and everything matches.

But train cases are a good interim solution until you find drawers.

Maybe you can have 1 train case for blushes,1 for powders, 1 for eyeshdows etc.???
It is easy to find everything then

Right now, I store everything in train cases. Or more like it's all over the place. I have no system to it, that's the biggest problem. I still haven't found a vanity I like, so I didn't buy any drawers yet, cause when I buy furniture I obviously want everything to match. The window in my room needs to be removed, because it's really old, and carpet and things have to be redone, so I don't buy anythig new yet until it's renovated.
So far I only had one bigger train case and stored all the ''important'' stuff in there (high end polishes and most blushes etc), and the other stuff and the basics I use on a regular basis I have just sitting on my glass desk, and the polishes somewhere else. But since I keep buying makeup it has slowly grown into a ridiculous pile of makeup on that desk, so I need to do somethimg about it. Also, in the summer I store most stuff (creme products) in the basement, because it gets hot like an oven in here. And I might be travelling a little soon, so I need one to take a couple of things with me, and the other one to store the rest. Though in all honesty two train cases are still not enough. I probably need 3-4, but right now I'm too stingy to buy more, lol.


I'll probaly have the same problem once my 2nd case arrives and I try to fit everything in there, lol.
