Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Fuzzy]

Please show swatches of Steel Town Girl once you get it! I'll just try again next restock

Ok I'll do my best, I'll even try to use my real camera! might just be a thumb though, I'm moving later this month *dread*

As kimibos said, indie polish stalking is worse than MAC. Like 100 times worse.

I swear I've liked way too many things that require stalking over the years. I must like to suffer or something!

@Kimibos : have you tried hemp creams and organic oils for your nails and hands ? Supplements for nails/hair would help but moderately ( 3 months or so ). In my opinion.
@Medgal : what a beautiful hammock, very " design ", I love it !
@CC : This duo lipstick/nail polish from Nars is really gorgeous but in my opinion, I hope you'll like it too.
@Pinkdollface : great blue !

Hello everyone !

Awesome haul PDF! Looking forward to seeing your Wing Dust manis!!

Just got some Wing Dust polishes in After the Storm, Cody Cat, Fairy Blind, Gilt-y Pleasure, Lilacs in June and Sleepless Summer Nights. I missed Steel Town Girl and the Takko polishes. They still say add to cart, but when I try to check out it says they sold out. This was my first time dealing with a restock and now I understand how popular these polishes are. I didn't expect the Takko polishes to sell out so quick, but I'm happy with the Wing Dusts I got.

EDIT: Oops! I miscounted. Forgot to include the order with Picture Polish Tease and the Lippmanns. I'm still under 50, so that's good.

That's amazing CC! I must have nail polish malaise because I cannot bring myself to stalk for NP. It might also be due to the fact that my racks are full again and I'm using my overflow box again.

My racks runneth over

Hello everyone !

Dominique! Thank you RE: my hammock! Which NARS lip/np duo did you nab?

 

[Dominique33]

The BLKR lipstick + midnight blue np both gorgeous I think And yes your hammock is to die for Have a great evening here well time to sleep

 

[Medgal07]

Thanks so much for this. I was having a pretty cruddy day today until I read your post. You're an angel.

I love your hammock and backyard! Lol. I didn't know there are other hammocks besides the rope one. I'd be out there, too, soaking up the sun whenever I could. It's rainy/cloudy here as well. That's funny about you being hammock-wrecked. You need a life preserver.

Things will work out CC.
This style hammock is super comfortable---I couldn't imagine lying on robe for too long. The downside however is that it doesn't dry as fast as a rope hammock.

RE: me being hammock wrecked. I definitely needed a life preserver! I don't want you to get a visual or make a cartoon out of this, but it seemingly happened in slow motion which is probably why I didn't get hurt. I just landed softly on my bottom and ended up seated on the center of the stand, under the hammock.

That's just insane. Like MAC, is this their marketing & sales strategy, or are they a small concern trying to accommodate large demand?

Hello ladies!

Just popping in here to say hi. I feel sad, because I don't buy much polish, so I don't have a lot to post about in this thread. Still spendig my money on shoes&clothes, and I ordered the MAC graffiti bag today. I'm spending my time cleaning out a lot of stuff, getting rid of old clothes and other things. Feels so cleansing and therapeutic.

I'll skip the Guerlain fall polish now, not really the shade I had hoped for. I still want Chanel Mysterious, but I'll wait since it's perm. So right now I'm trying to figure out which one(s) I want from YSL and also the sparkly green from Laura Mercier's fall collection is very tempting. Besides that I think I want one or both from Chanel's FNO collection. If you haven't seen them yet check out the thread

Medgal - love your hammock.

. Scofflaw david bowie's bulge

i have been dealing with sensitive nails lately and just inflammation in general. i had to cut my nails.. that way touching things wouldnt hurt much. even short they hurt. i took DBB off and it wasnt pretty.major ouch. and so im now wearing the julep Oxygen treatment.  and taking tylenol for it.  once i have them long again, ill do a well done mani with DBB. 

I love both manis kimibos! I think the shorter lenght looks nice I'm sorry that they are hiring tho ;/ I kno about living with chronic pain too it's no fun ;( Hope you feel better soon Girly

It's indeed a lovely coral! I'm going to try out some of the other drugstore Essies soon. I'm thinking that it might just be this particular colour that's thicker or it was mostly due to the wider brush. I'm used to a wider brush with OPI, but I'm not used to Essie having those and maybe I apply Essie polishes different without knowing. Ow and I got two more Essie polishes today, Bouncer It's Me and Shake Your $$$ Makers. My China Glaze package arrived today as well, so 9 new polishes in one day haha which should I try first...I guess it'll be Bouncer It's Me, because I love those royal blue colours. I want a polish in the colour of the dress our queen was wearing for the coronation (actually I would love a dress in that colour too!).

Do u have access to nails inc. polishes? Baker St is very close to this dress I think...

 

[Naughtyp]

Thanks! I didn't post a makeup picture. I was wearing Naked pigment on the lid and Naked Dark in the crease, yes I had to get these too after the raves they got. I like them a lot and I'll get Naked Deep Dark too at some point. On my cheeks I wore Nars Gaiety (my first Nars blush!) and on the lips Deeply Adored with Brick lipliner. I got Brick last week and this was the first time trying it with Deeply Adored. I normally used Beet, but I think I prefer Brick.

Sounds pretty! I still need to get naked ( hahahhahah) and now I want brick liner! DA is one of my fav lippies I don't remember which liner I used for it last time tho! lol

 

[Naughtyp]

Pretty pedi color! Perfect for being poolside. love this on you! I need to try mine soon, the shimmer is so pretty. Happy hour sale? Damn it! How did I miss that. Thank you!! I did finally get it from Macy's last night. I'm wearing it today and I just loooove the texture. TY! Yes, it was my first elevation polish and probably my last this is so pretty and I really like your nails at this length. Sorry that they are so senstive :eyelove: This is such a fun mani!

I saw the BL sale on IG, do u follow them? Sorry to hear it was bad enough to not buy anymore Elevation pushes... I was interested but ehh lol it was still a pretty color tho.. maybe later it over a similiar color so u don't need so many coats?

 

[Naughtyp]

They're both gorgeous, aren't they? I'm looking for them to pop up around the end of August. Great haul! I think I'm going to wear CrowsToes Shoot the Butterfly soon. Sorry to hear about your sensitive nails kimibos. I hope you feel better soon. Your manis look great with long or short nails. Looks great! I haven't purchased the new Femme Fatale shades yet, but plan to next month. Your queen and that blue dress are both stunning. Other creme polishes that come to mind are YSL

[COLOR=000000]Bleu Majorelle (a favorite of mine)[/COLOR]​

, Essie Butler Please, Illamasqua Force, Dior Electric Blue, Butter London Blagger. I'm sure there are others.

I hope they come out here I really want Chanel Cosmic!

I bought some discontinued polishes last night. Picture Polish Tease, Sparkle, Hypnotic; Lippmann Purple Rain and Stardust. I've also been really into sparkling polishes lately thanks to the Dior Sparkling Set and Picture Polish Sea Jewel. I think Sea Jewel falls under Picture Polish's Mesh finish, which basically seems to be silver microglitter. I think I'm going to start getting more of their Mesh shades next. Tease falls under that category. Speaking of sparkly polishes, have you all seen the new fall Lippmanns? I'm getting them! :eyelove: http://lippmanncollection.com/2011dl/index_new.php

I am sad to find out Tease was discontinued! that was on my list dammit ;( The picture polish mesh shades are my fav's from them, most of the ones on my list are collaboration and mesh shades.... I'm going to look up the other ones u got right now lol I am def getting that gold one it looks like a mermaid polish but GOLD!!!! my eyes are all lit up right now thinking about it lol

:lol: [COLOR=0000FF] I'm working on it![/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]That's just insane.  Like MAC, is this their marketing & sales strategy, or are they a small concern trying to accommodate large demand?[/COLOR]

maybe both lol but I think it's more the second. She makes them by hand but has over 30,000 followers on FB, she prob makes like 100x each color or something, cuz I refreshed at 6:01 and they were all sold out. I kept trying tho until they actually said SOLD OUT ;( so sad, but I'll try again and again lol I love those bottles! So far, I have 3(Ice Castle, Water for Unicorns, and Purple Roses) with 1( A little fishy told me) on the way! Stalking for MAC is a piece of cake compared to this ish!! lol

I was wondering how your racks are looking these days ( ha lol I have such a dirty mind!!!) If I was you I would be in that hammock too, I haven't read a book I awhile ( reading Specktra instead lol). What are u reading? I am a bookworm , just havent been reading lately ;/ you should see my book collection! lol Sux that's it's raining ;( Personally I love the rain, because in Cali there's plenty of sun everyday, I get sick of it lol. I am trying to enjoy it tho, this year hasn't been too hot ( knocking on wood!). That's a funny story u told, I'm glad u weren't hurt! I could imagine it all so clearly tho. I can just imagine ur hubby looking around all confused like where is she lol. So what's been on your nails lately? I just used Orly Glowstick! Hella bright yellow

 

[Naughtyp]

I compared the salon and drugstore versions of Essie

[COLOR=000000]Where's My Chauffeur?. The brushes are the same.[/COLOR]​

Here, the prices are the same for both, too. But you can get either version at a cheaper with sales and coupons. I've been waiting for Llarowe to get those shades so that I could get the new colors all together. There's also that glow in the dark color. That's so precious and a priceless mommy/daughter moment. :flower: The job search = :tumbleweed:   But I expect it to take a while. I can just picture you in your hammock. It sounds so peaceful and relaxing. I've always wanted to try a hammock, but I think I would end up tangled in it like in cartoons.

Lol I think id be the same way, all tangled up!

 

[Naughtyp]

Super pissed! apparently llarowe restocked some of Enchanteds and didn't announce it !!!!

 

[Naughtyp]

Ugh moving sucks! I still havent gotten around to unpacking all my beauty stuff since we arent painting my makeup room until today or tomorrow (So much other stuff has priority ). Miss seeing all your beautiful manis!

Hope u get settled I. soon we miss your manis!

 

[Medgal07]

So what's been on your nails lately? I just used Orly Glowstick! Hella bright yellow

It took me a minute to get the 'racks' pun---I'm on the slow bus tonight

I pretty much read the New York Times---get it delivered to my Kindle every morning. At one time I was reading a novel a week but my hauling and Specktra time pretty much cut into that. I enjoy mysteries but also great fiction with historically factual elements. I'd like to select a great book to read before the end of summer, so recommendations are welcome!!! A few books that I really enjoyed were Cutting for Stone, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter & Sweet,
Sarah's Key, This is Where I Leave you & That Old cape Magic & The immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. There are several more but I can't remember them at the moment.

I'm currently wearing Dior Red Royalty but I'll be changing that today and was actually thinking I'd like to wear yellow. Maybe I'll wear the Ralph Lauren/Essie yellow. I need to focus more on my untrieds!!!!!
