Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Linear holo is like Twitterpated or the Color Club polishes where you get a well defined rainbow, scattered holo is where you have holographic particles, but they aren't as strong and don't make a proper rainbow shape, like these Ozotic polishes for example: http://www.fashionpolish.com/2013/03/ozotic-scatter-chrome-collection-review.html Hope this helps.

I wish I had your self control, I can't return any polishes I own, I love them all, scattered, linear, duochrome, the lot, lol.

I bought 4 Girly Bits polishes. Twitterpated, Going Bananas, Cosmic Ocean and Face the Music. There's nothing wrong with them. It's just that I don't feel as much excitement for them compared to my other polishes, say like my Dollish Polishes or Enchanteds. I want to control my stash, so I'm trying to streamline some brands.
Also, I'm still learning about holos and duo/multichrome polishes. What's the difference between a scattered holo and a linear holo? I see those descriptions mentioned a lot, but don't quite understand them.

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

Not yet, but I will! I really wanted Pitter Patter and I can only get it from Butter's site at the moment. Plus I could get it at a discount. I only ordered enough polishes to help me get free shipping. I opted for colors that Nordstrom doesn't have since I don't order directly from Butter's website too often.

Okay, I don't fell bad and know I'm in the right place! I haven't counted my polishes, but I am over 100! I just bought some Illamasca for the first time...seemed a little watery. Havent lunged out for the Chanel yet. Or the Butter like I said I would! It keeps growing!

Yup, you're definitely in the right place. Welcome!

Thanks for that explanation! I understand it now.

Well, I didn't swatch them yet, so that helps. I didn't get attached. I think it's funny that you think I have self control.

 

[Anitacska]

Compared to me you do!

I don't think any of us have much self control lol!! I've been moving, polish and makeup safe and sound I stopped at ulta cuz I made some tips today ( I'm technically not a tipped employee but I am able to accept them if offered) so I got some more zoya pixies b2g1f sale they are still having. I got pixies: Dahlia, Solange and a Suprise, Beatrix. it was $15 and some change. then I used my bonus point and got Bobbi for $5. I am a very happy camper! I am soo exhausted, but I can't wait to put all my makeup and polishes away and look thru all my stuff too bad this is the last week of school! lol I have struggled passing this class so I gotta stay focused and make sure I pass my final. My Llarowe order should be here tomorrow! I am still going to find time tonight to paint my nails. the hard part is deciding which one to use!

 

[Naughtyp]

Thanks Naughtyp! 

I just picked up some Zoyas today. Now I only have three on my to buy list: Cassie, Happi, and Yasmin. well at least until those fall pixies come out! I have: Aurora Blaze Ziv Julie Gie-Gie Piaf Neely Blu Zuza Rory Danni Wednesday Roxy Jem Carly China Stevie Destiny Solange Dahlia Bobbi Ricki Hazel and that's all I can remember off the top of my head

Ugh. I got Essie shake your money maker the other day at target. I wanted to get bouncer it's me as well, but I tried money maker on my toes today, and I found the formula was dreadful. Sheer, and hard to spread. Did it wok for anyone else? Maybe I just wasn't patient enough. I have mojito madness and navigate het from last year, and the formula on them is a dream, so I had hopes that this green would be awesome as well

I was wearing it just last week with a Cat's glitter (post #8146). I think it was ok, but it's a jelly(ish) (= not the same texture as in the ones you mention) and I've seen people put a white base under it (I find it difficult). Since I did not put one it was darker than in pics I've seen (the same goes witht the blue one).


ATM, I'm wearing BL Bit Faker. Pure glitter! It needed a rather quick application. If you don't get it right, difficult to fix.

Buick, I am getting a bit lost here. Could you name me a few good webshops that ship to NL? I am browsing Llarowe and I have found a seller on ebay for a zoya fix. Tia!

 

[MACerette]

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.

Back in November I had about 200 polishes, now about 500 ONLY.

1) Thanks !

2) Don't scare me
3) Nice mani!

By the way, now I am going to create some buzz: I am the clip and go kind of girl. I clip my nails and refuse to file unless really necessary. There, I said it...

TY, MACerette!

That will make your nails' layers separate > peel. Go and buy a glass file!

I know. That's probably one of the reasons my nails tend to split. That and washing my hands all the time. But I'm too lazy to file. I don't find any enjoyment in it whatsoever. *sends shockwave through np thread

Btw: I have a glass file. That's the worst part.

Well, come to Frankfurt, where it'll be about 30°C today - but in my apartment, it gets like a very cosy, oven-like 40°C in that kind of weather. I'll trade with your 21° anytime!!!
