I'm wearing it!!! It's beautiful!

Great! I haven't been wearing makeup again since my makeover. I'm going to make an effort to do so later this week and will work in Delice.

Ladies I need your help. Today I used my Chanel Orange Fizz and it has already started to peel on the first day. Would you ladies mind suggesting some top and base coats that work well with your Chanel polishes.

I was wearing Butter London's top coat with my Chanels. Didn't have any problems. I've switched to Poshe top coat for my last mani, but haven't tried it with a Chanel yet. I've also been using Butter London's base coat, but I'm looking for something else. I think I'm going to try CND Sticky base coat. The Dior Gel Coat also works great. Very glossy and makes your mani last.

.....awesome, Medgal

Getting my Chanel 'Superstition' collection NPs was my solace from the RiRi drama. I think Alchimie is my favorite!

More haul spam. I'm still waiting for my Hares and Femme Fatales to arrive.

ROW 1: Mad Magenta - Violet Femme - Kryptonite
ROW 2: Ruby Blou - Mask-a-rade - Starry Night



I ordered these polishes directly from Jindie Nails. There are a few more I'm going to grab during the next restock. She has colors that I don't see available at Llarowe's site.

ROW 2: Water 4 Elephants - Pickled Tink - Princess Consuela Banana Hammock - HipStar - Bells & Whistles


I'm not typically one to dress for holidays, but I have a strong urge to do a red, white & blue mani for the 4th of July. I plan to wear JINDIE-Pendence and Ruby Blou as my mani/pedi somehow.

oh you NP hussy you... STOP TEMPTING ME

I have that issue w/Chanel too but the Dior Gel top coat has extended the life of my Chanel manis better than anything else that I've tried.

CC these are just beautiful! As usual, great haul. I always love your selections. Oh I think it's awesome that you're planning your patriotic mani! Why not?

I'm eyeing the creme blushes but I'm not that good with them. I have several, but they don't get much use. There's one that I just can't resist so I'll just stop trying.

 

[Medgal07]

Congrats on getting Taboo. We're all fans, and I think most of us have already nabbed it. Enjoy---it's a stunning NP and your pic captures that well.

I am done with my AP-degree today and I had promised myself a bribe (Aka Chanel Taboo!) so here it is... Swoon.

 

[Medgal07]

and that's all I can remember off the top of my head

GREAT Zoya haul!!!

Famous last words!

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

Nice to hear that you and Anneri too have relocated ok.


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.

Gorgeous MRV!

 

[Medgal07]

Very pretty mani. I had that same issue with Zoya's Arizona. It started chipping after a day, but I
blame myself. I was super busy---made Father's Day dinner---shopping, running around & cooking.
Nails were a huge fail but dinner was great----pan seared salmon w/tomato-artichoke salsa and crab-
stuffed portobello mushrooms.

 

[Medgal07]

I'll be in texas in two weeks.. I'll be inside most of the time in the ac

Are you from Paris? If so, I may need to pm you on places to get my makeup/hair done next year for my "Wedding" I'm planning very early

Awesome destination wedding HOB. You'll be the most beautiful bride on the planet with the BEST
MANICURE ever!! I'm so very happy for you!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Yes ma'am! We decided to take the selfish route and elope in Paris just the two of us. We'll probably spend just as much money but at least it won't be on people complaining that the hors d'oeuvres are cold. :x

Good for you! Avoid all of the unnecessary drama---who needs it!!!

Amazing haul CC!!! Glad you got the Chanels & YSLs. Heck, they're all really fabulous!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Great haul---gorgeous selections and mani---loving the brights so much!!!

So I took a detour today on the way home and somehow winded up at the Nail supply store

Damn car has a mind of it's own

I wound up leaving with new files & buffers, Sunday Funday, The more the merrier, Shell-o and Highlight of my summer.

After seeing one of my followers on IG post her pretty matte mani's I decided to try it with Shell-o. I haven't used my matte topcoat for over a year. I'm so happy with the results.

 

[Medgal07]

Thanks for the idea! I used to leave a small basket full of unwanted polishes in my work bathroom and the ladies would just take the one they liked. I like this idea a lot more.

I've heard of this being done and think it's a great idea.

 

[Medgal07]

Wow, CC that's an awesome haul!

Last night I nearly placed an order for the Dance Legend holo polishes (all 12), but it didn't go through (I was on my mobile and the Paypal page didn't load properly).


From: http://www.thepolishaholic.com/2013/06/dance-legend-new-prisms-collection.html

They are so pretty, but I guess the shades aren't terribly unique and I do have all 12 of the Color Club holos, all of the Layla ones and a load Glitter Gals, so maybe I should just be happy that it didn't go through and don't try again... Also the 12 of them would push my total to 1000 and I have said to myself that that's my limit and then I won't buy any mroe polishes. What to do, what to do?

Beautiful! How long did it take you to get to 1,000 NPs???

 

[Honi]

Getting my Chanel 'Superstition' collection NPs was my solace from the RiRi drama. I think Alchimie is my favorite!

Chanel is an excellent solace from anything, amirite?!

If i need a carrot, a Chanel NP is always the way to go... Theyre gorgeous! Now the problem is that I saw Azure when I was in the store and cant stop thinking about it... Very lovely aswell, but it reminds me of China Glaze Deviantly daring. Anyone has both and would be willing to compare the bottles for me?

 

[Anitacska]

Thank you! The problem is I'm ALWAYS very busy! Cleaning, shopping, tidying, cooking, I'm a mum of 3 children and a stay-at-home mum, so I'm always doing something! I need to look into the Dior Gel top coat as the Guerlain one isn't doing anything for me.

Wow, CC that's an awesome haul!

Here's my current pedi and mani. It's very warm and sunny in the UK today (rain's coming tomorrow though), so I'm wearing a summer dress and flip flops, and I thought I'd show you my matching nails. Excuse the fat toes please and also as you can see, my mani has already chipped on two nails.

Shame because it's so pretty. I'm wearing Barry M Aqua Glitter on the toes (3 coats) and Dior Bahia (teal/green duochrome) with Sephora Silver Rain on top (both 2 coats each).
