Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[MACerette]

ohh nooo, i just realized i missed your B-day! happy belated Birthday Girl!!!

Thanks!!!

Uh oh. I have only read 8 pages of the 279 so far. This is going to take a while. I have been distracted a hundred times because I read somewhere that somebody was going to follow a certain polish blog, which made me google it, sign up to bloglovin, watch some blogs, watching and googling several polishes / links mentioned. Oy vey

So far I have read that Dominique has raved about NARS polish. I own all of the Thakoon polishes + Schiap + a white one, I think Ecumé. I think they are easy to use, but they haven't lasted well on me. 1-2 days on my finger nails. On my toes they stay well, but most polishes do, tbh. Perhaps I just need to brush up on my polish skills. I tend to apply a bit more than I probably should -----> Impatient, me???

The top coat I usually wear is INM Out The Door, because Seche Vite 1) has the worst chemical smell that makes me nauseous and 2) shrinks my polish like crazy.

hey there. im late but im glad you are ok. i hope everything went well with the moving.
im in with P,L& OPi and the muir muir on the wall, red

lookg gorgeous.
omg did you see that pearl polish TF did not long ago. a 99 cents polish looks better than that. choose wisely nadine! some top brand polishes are just not worth it. WnW makes dupes.
yeahh im glad you got that set. i love the periwinkle and the dark green. i did keep the box tho

WOW amaxing haul! i love the EL one and the last dior. perfect for the Fall.
i was just cheaking this brand the other day.
I think i missed this one. but im ok. ill get it later at B.com. did you get knackered already??
Nice mani , and that first wheel is PERFECT!!! love all the colors!

at Anneri!
ohh iwant that on the beach polish now.
i managed to clean my stash. well organize it. i put soo many boxes on the trash.crazy.
this mani is soo pretty M. im glad you got the lights of emerald city. i luv it. dont forget to try it over a light pink. like DL marnie. from the girls set

Oh I will Kimibos----great idea!!!!

Now you went and got me all excited!!!
Glad you were able to clean up your stash!!!

This is probably suicide for me but I have decided to come over to the dark side. I am working on improving the condition of my nails in order to start painting them again. I have a lot of catching up to do I see...

welcome to the dark side!!

Ok it's really not dark. It's actually very bright because of all of our mani's.

Sweet memories....hopefully!

Oh it was a long time ago, memories

but at that time I was not a NPA at all LOL

 

[MACina]

Yes, I totally forgot that!

So fingers crossed that the collection makes it to Germany.

Merci, Dominique !


You're right! We don't have the orange one either (?). But, just got today the green one and the TC.

That's the way to go!


Thanks, CC! It's so glowy

!


Love! Haul-ful days are always fun!



Lovely! Can't wait to see Sunnies on your nails. I think it might be my pick.


Love these summer colours!


Oh! It IS the same colour as Stance which means I HAVE to get it!

Thank you, Honey!

You don't have it yet!?


We have the same problem!

Don't worry yet, I think the link I posted said they are for July, so there's still hope.


Lovely holo and donation!


Yes!

They are great!

I have read the first 47 pages and stayed up reading until 2 a.m. Started again today. Still about 8000ish posts to go. Conclusion: I'll never catch up to that amount. I am going to proceed from here on. I might ask questions that have been answered between page 48 and page 279 so I am going to apologize for that in advance. Please bear with me.

While reading yesterday I checked the NARS.eu site and was shockede to see that all the Thakoon polishes are still available. I bought mine a year ago!!! And those are supposed to be LE? Even Koliary (my fave!) was still available

I have gotten used to MAC's LE business I guess...

So far I haven't seen anybody mention Illamasqua's Collide. I love that colour! It is bright neon pink (think text marker) and really flattering, Excellent wear time too.

I know I am a virgin compared to you here. I have about 60+ish nps. The brands I have are Chanel (5x), Opi (only 1 actual np but also 2 shatters and base and topcoat), 5 or 6 Illamasqua, 8 NARS, 4(?) MAC and the rest China Glaze I think. I wonder how that collection will grow in the months to come. So far I think I'm good. I was going to place an order from transdesign, but after seeing the current postage rates I think I'll pass...

 

[Dominique33]

those are the ones i want!

Great Kimibos, I think you'll love them those are pretty texture ones !

 

[Dominique33]

Great haul Dominique!!!

Thank you Medgal. It was unexpected but at the OPI nail bar I was not able to resist when I saw the collection lol ! Unable to resist really

I raved the Nars polishes yes ! I think they are very classy, easy to apply and long wearing. But it doesn't depend on my polish skills ( mine are

well ) but on the nails themselves. Some have fragile nails, others have very strong nails. China Glaze polishes don't work for me at all, I don't know why. So maybe it's the same for you and Nars ?

 

[Dominique33]

Sweet memories....hopefully!

Sweet memories

yes but also memories of an Au pair girl lol ! Mischievous kids

and the weather was so cold, chilly and wet at the same time and hot in springtime so far I remember !

 

[MACina]

Welcome to Germany

I hate the weather here.We have a few hot days and that' s it

I'm not sure. I tend to be impatient, so chances are I need to apply thinner coats. Sometimes it also depends on the colour I think. Illamasqua's Collide has lasted as many as 5 days on me once which is a lot for me. I also have a few other colours from Illamasqua that do not last 2 days, perhaps not even one day (hello Gamma

). Collide seems to be the only one from the Illamasqua's I have that lasts so well. Weird...

Today I am wearing Lal Mirchi from Nars, but since I am a Trind nail care routine I will have to take it off tomorrow. After Wednesday I can stop applying nail repair daily so I'll try to test the wear again with hopefully thinner layer. No matter what, I do agree that they apply well and two coats are enough for most of them. I believe Kutki took 3 layers. It's just the wear time that I found a bit disappointing. Chanel is one of my favorite polishes when it comes to wear time.

Multiquote doesn't work for me right now, so Medgal, HOB, Macina, Dominique, MRV, kimibos, Anita and everybody else who liked my mani: thank you!

I forgot who asked, the Catrice is called Purple Reign and the WnW is called Dutchess.

Medgal, appearances are deceiving!

My nails are absolutely beaut up right now - a week moving house does that for you. On my right hand nearly every nail is broken. When I think about doing another move this year I'm ready to curl up in a corner and whimper.

Macerette, welcome! Come in and join the madness and manis!

Anneri! Thanks! I hope I won't regret it. I have tried postponing, but here I am, total

I am sure I'll enjoy being here. I'll definately learn some useful stuff here. Hopefully I can control my np urges a lot better than my MU addiction.

 

[Anitacska]

This is not the dark side at all, this is the colourful, shimmery, glittery, shiny side!

That's exactly what worries me. The last thing I need is something to add to my MU addicition.

Now the make up threads poop rainbows and flowers for me, so if this thread would be even better than....

Welcome MACerette! I first joined this thread back in November. At that time, I think I may have had about 30 polishes. Mostly China Glaze, Finger Paints and only a handful of Chanels. Fast forward 7 months later to now... and I currently have 591 polishes. I know I'm going to cross over into the 600's this week because there's a restock happening that I've been waiting for. Not saying things will get that crazy for you! But I am enjoying the ride.

Collide is on my to-buy list. I know Naughty has the color and I think Med may have it since it's pink. It's a beautiful shade. I love bright, bold colors the most.

591 ? OMG

But you're not an isolated case, I had 6 nail polishes 2 years ago and now I have many more but certainly not 591 ! What a great collection CartoonChic. Medgal suggested you opened your boutique well I FULLY agree lol !
