I'm a million miles behind on reading this board. And just start drooling every time i see pics of everyone's hauls!
I reorganized and inventoried my nail polishes. I keep my makeup by color - Warm, Neutral, Cool. But i now have my polishes organized by Creme, Frost, Glitter. I need to go on a frost no-buy for a while - that box is about to explode because it's so full. And I have so few cremes, that i have my nail basics - base & top coats & quick dries - and treatments in the same box with them, as well as my lovely new glitter top coats.
I need some more cremes. I have about a little over dozen cremes in the following shades:
--- nude (several different shades, from browny to pinky)
--- chartreuse
--- olive green
--- mint green (about 4 variations)
--- teal
--- periwinkle blue
--- blue violet (pale, light, and medium-dark)
Yes, i don't have many standard colors. The first nail polishes i got, back in the mid-70s when my fingernails finally grew out, after being a long time nail biter, were periwinkle blue, mint green, and a frosted navy.
I'm planning to get a coral and a light denim blue. Other than that i'm not sure... I've never worn red or pink or orange nails, so getting a coral will be a big deal for me. I need to think about what colors will look good under my new glitter top coats - all of which have violet in them...

Thank you for the links! I like more than I thought I would.Alcatraz...Rocks and Peace&Love&OPI, the ugly browns and most sands (so many coming out!) + the glitter/shiny Mariahs!
Here's my current mani: P&J #032 Caribbean. I just love my P&Js! It's my 3rd day wearing it, no chipping!

I'm wearing a very similar colour too! It's Color Club Abyss with Models Own Disco Heaven glitter gradient. The MO polish has some teal and bluee glitters as well as lots of gold, so it looks very good with the teal base. Sadly no sunshine again today, so can't show off the glitter at its best.

I just removed last weeks mani and I thought to share the pictures. I hope I do this correctly
So on my nails is Estee Lauder's Chaos and on my ring finger is Hits Zeus. I took pictures in the sunlight and also in shaded light. Pardon my eczema on ring finger {in particular} I am so self conscious about it! and my cuticles look like horrendously bad so please be nice. It has been 6 days since I did my nails last so there is minor tip wear, horrid cuticles, and a wee bit of chipping but I really like these colors, Estee Lauder's Chaos in particular does not seem to have many pictures online and I did not take great ones. This is only the second time I have tried taking pictures of my nails

Maybe I should start wearing skittles, too. You can admire more polishes at the same time and work on those untrieds!I counted my polishes last week and the used:untried ratio is 3:4.
Love your manis! The Hares, and it's a good idea to put CGKiT over Drops of Jade.
Nice story, Kimibos!

My nail "do" wasn't toooooo skittles-y, since everything was in the same color family. But right now my nails are nekkid!
I'll be cooking over charcoal for 4 days - and not briquettes in a grill - but lump charcoal (looks like the pieces of the wood it was) in various sorts of braziers and fire pits in medieval re-creation pots. Besides looking inappropriate, i was concerned about melting or burning my polish. So i stripped my nails last night. And i'm sure the camping trip will wreck my nails, anyway - they'll get all bent, chipped, and broken. Oh, well...
Got MAC Sweet Pop Nail Lacquer yesterday - from what i read it was decent and it's a color that will look ok on my fingers - a pale peach creme, not too warm.
Still need to get a coral creme - i want one that's not too red and leans a bit cool / pink. Any recommendations?
I will be off-line until Monday. Hope everyone who's American has a great 4th of July holiday. And for everyone else, i hope your July 4 is pleasant and you have a great weekend!

I think I might like a-England better than enchanted. Their polishes are slightly more subtle, and then suddenly BAM!, they take your breath away. They are somehow "meatier". I love them both. Haha, a bottle of wine may o may not be fueling this post

So far everything is reasonably under control. Since I came here I got 3 Catrice polishes, 1 Max Factor, my first 2 Essies, my first two Zoyas and my first Color Club.
Catrice is a budget brand. I got one gorgeous goldish colour (probably close to DL Believe I think), but during the first pedi and mani I obviously tightened the lid a bit too much and it broke. Straight in the garbage. Boo.
Yesterday I received my first ebay order from a seller recommended by Buick.
I got
Eternal Beauty - Color Club
Ivanka - Zoya
Charla - Zoya
Boom Boom Room - Essie
Saturday Disco Fever - Essie
The polishes I got before that are Fantasy Fire - Max Factor, GlamoureX Factor (which I chucked in the bin alas), Genius in The Bottle and I believe The Monkey Gets Funky all three by Catrice...
