Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

When I did my mani today I tried PP Revolution for the first time and this happened:



Anybody knows what the hell happened here?!

I had to take everything off and do it again - without the PP!



It's IB Moonlight on the middle finger, the accent on the ring finger is Chanel Delight and everything else is EdM Pyrite.

When I looked at the first pic I thought that was intentional---reminded me of a lace dress! I love that soft color. Your tribute to Lele mani & makeup look was so pretty too. I'm glad you joined
in the tribute. So sad that she died so young--33 I believe.

Uh, still getting back on commeting later, but for now here's my second contribution to this week's odd manis. "Ninja Yeti on Woodstock"



Ninja Yeti (TC with black glitters and tiny pink purple shimmer) is a gift from Elevation. I happened to order a minimun 3 polishes just when they handed out annual gift polishes (of which I knew nothing about). I think it could have been a bit better if it did not contain black hearts, they made the application a bit tricky as the glitter density is very high. Ninja Yeti is not available, it was gifted this one time only to customer that ordered on March 7th.

Bumble bees!!

I like it!  Oh yes, I get that too.  Yeah, I might. Although it sounds like her website hasn't got carthold again and people were complaining about how they couldn't get the indie box even immediate at launch time. So don't think I stand much of a chance. I mostly want Wind Beneath My Wings. I do want a few Lilypads though. Did you use Revolution alone or on top of / below another basecoat? This has happened to me when I tried it with another basecoat. It works fine on its own for me. I like the mani! I've got a little haul to show you. I picked up some fun polishes at the 99p store, a blue feather, a green star and a yellow star glitter. Also got a new Revlon graffiti topcoat (not for 99p). I also have a mani to show you. It's Ciate Heirloom. Reminds me of ILNP Nostalgia, but this has more purple and less green to it and also it's more sparkly/shiny. Really like it.  Next I'm planning a holo mani with some stamping. 

Yes, that could be it! I used my usual nail hardener underneath. Well, trying it on its own next time. Oooooh, holo stamping! That should be nice. I can't wait till my new stamping plates get here! Maybe I'll get some MoYu plates and some nail vinyls in the meantime? ;-) That Ciate polish looks great!

Thanks Med! I loved yours too. Honestly, for a second I thought about leaving it on my nails like that, but then - just no! *g* Oh, I finally managed to get my hands on Bad Fairy! Got it for 10€ on a blogsale! Really excited about it. I didn't manage to find any dupes and really thought it would be repromoted with Maleficent, so I'm super happy now!

Finally, my Llarowe pre-order has arrived! And the postman came while hubby was out, so he didn't see it!

Also my Harlow & Co. order came with my KBShimmers.

I have mixed feelings about my Llarowe polishes. Firstly Shimmering Waters, Turquoise Twinkle and Tazmo Kramer are very similar, even more so than in my picture. Also, Deanna, It's Blue is much darker and duller than I expected, but that might be my fault, I think I might have got mixed up, should've ordered House of Blues instead. And thirdly, in a couple of the sprinkles the glitter hardly shows up inside the polish, Purple Pizzaz and Bea Stings namely. Maybe they'll look better on the nails. Anyway, pictures!







Finally, my mani. I had to take yesterday's mani off last night as it started peeling off in chunks (I used NPB Glitter-a-Peel under it, that stuff is useless!). So I used 17 Cameo Crush which is a textured polish. I don't like the texture without topcoat, although even with it, it's not completely smooth. It's less green, more turquoise IRL, with gold/green shimmer. Very pretty. Sadly I broke the nail on my left thumb while baking (WTF?) and it also chipped a bit on my right thumb, but never mind, I'll be changing it tomorrow anyway.



Right, I'm going to bed. Night night!

Wowza Anitacska!!! Loving your NP haul and this gorgeous mani. Totally put my nails to shame. I'm slowly coming out of my NP slump.
In addition to Chanel Tapage & Coup de Coeur, I got Tom Ford's Coral Beach which totally reminds me of summer---it's a happy color.
For some odd reason I wasn't able to upload a photo at this time.

Thank you!

I've finally worked out what other thread you were all talking about. I don't usually look at many other threads on here. You all did lovely looks and Medgal, can I just say, your skin looks awesomely young and positively glowy!

I have a "little" haul to show you, this one's from MeiMei. Most of the polishes are thermals, except for EdM Ricochet and the two LSL glitters.



I've managed to order a few Lilypads from Llarowe this afternoon, but lost 2 of them from my cart. Now I'm contemplating staying up until 1 am to catch the second restock. It's already gone midnight, so not too long to go. Crazy though, I know.

Tomorrow's gonna be even worse with the CbL charity polishes and PP Borealis launching.

 

[Medgal07]

Yep, that's it then. I normally use Sally Hansen Maximum Growth base coat, but I've learnt not to use it with Revolution.


Thank you!

Everything looks pretty, enjoy it!!!!

Hi there Kimibos! Thanks! Yes you're correct---that's the #4. I got it because my TF blush brush is too wide & too
dense for the Chanel JC blush compact. This one is just right. That was a very thoughtful gift from your dad.
The bottle to the left of the blush that looks like NP is actually YSL's new Baby Doll Kiss & blush---thought I'd give
it a try.

Fancy haul!


I'm not feeling so good because I got caught downwind of this


so if I don't make any sense it's because I inhaled burning upholstery foam lol

picked a bad day to go to Home Depot!

got a few polishes in the mail, pics tomorr.... I mean later.

for now, a little more sleep

 

[MRV]

I've just e-mailed Llarowe with my picture of Pink Sprinkles. I like it very much and wouldn't have bothered to complain, but since she was offering refunds....

Cool, man!

Here's mani, Kiko 433 which is a gorgeous blue/green/purple duochrome in the bottle and much brighter than it looks on the nails. Applied it's just a dusty dark purple with green duochrome. Disappointing. I also quickly did a subtle stamping on the accent nail with the EdM plate and Topshop Eclipse.




Today I received the custom polishes Darling Diva made for the FB group. They are very pretty, especially Cotton Candy Hangover which is a blue/purple duochrome holo. Violets Are Blue is much more holo than CCH and it seems to have some chunkier holo particles in it as well. Nice.

Thanks! That stamping looks really nice! And I just ordered this peacock plate and two others from EdM this week. They ship the plates internationally, and the shipping was only 3 AUD!

Huh, such a long list from Llarowe but luckily I haven't had much to lust for. I orderer 3 Lilypads yesterday though (had no intention, but they had some really nice looking new polishes), and tonight I'm getting something, not sure though, maybe just an Oops Grab Bag.

I like it, wont show it to my mom cause she is going to make me do it on her. She loves Yellow.

Thanks, kimibos! That CbL yellow holo loved back my nails a bit too much: may nails were all stained when I took the Ninja mani off!

 

[MRV]

Beautiful MRV. That's quite a job you pulled off with your swatch sticks---you must feel good having accomplished all of that---wow!

Thanks, Med! Swatching the sticks was actually the pleasure&leasure part of my NP endeavour. After assembling the fans (still easy, and I'm trying to take some photoes this weekend!), I started listing my NPs on my iPhone of all places: two evenings & several hours and about 750 polishes later

I still have one Helmer drawer full of BLs and Illamasquas to go through!

Oh no, that's not looking good.


Huh, finally new mani: Essie First Timer again and Elevation Plumeria (this is the one I did not order but received anyways). It's a lovely looking TC, but oh boy, the base was so thick that it was difficult to spread the polish evenly on the nail because you had to put a lot and place the dots since they dragged.

 

[Anitacska]

So sad to hear this. I looked for her avatar, and I do remember seeing her posts.

Congratulations! Everybody seems to be crazy about BF! That was the only NP I got from that collection as I alread had the ORLY dupes for the others.

Oh no, how soon did you get in? I was let in almost immediately, and was able to grab 3 Lilypads with no problems. Let's see how it goes tonight. BUT Borealis? I don't see it!?


Awesome haul! Which TF lippie did you get? The TF NP looks lovely, too!


We are looking forward to them! Hope you're feeling better, kimibos.


That looks like an interesting product. Please let us know how you like it.

I was in within 3 minutes of launch time. It's alright, not the end of the world, I still got 5 Lilypads, including the Llarowe XOXO one that I'd been wanting for ever. I didn't manage to get the other two at 1 am either, so it wasn't worth staying up for.

Apparently Borealis will be launched on Monday at unannounced times, so I think I might as well give up on that. But Rainbow Connection is also launching it on Monday, so hopefully I'll manage to grab it.

I might give the new Dance Legend multichrome holos a miss tonight to ensure checking out fast with the Llarowes I want to grab (just Wind Beneath my Wings and an Oops bag). I've asked them to combined my orders, so I don't mind checking out with just 2 things.

 

[Medgal07]

Thanks!


eeek that wrinkling is so strange! I love the fixed one

Nice mani and mini haul!



Pretty!

Nice haul!
no CbLs for me this time... I need to buy hand cream badly lol

Fancy haul!

So pretty MRV!!!!---It made me think of a summer dress! You have a lot of patience too!

Thank

you Medgal ! oh yes Tapage is perfect for summer and if it's snowing, well it's like saying " Summer, I am calling you " !

 

[Anitacska]

Right, that's more like it. I've placed two orders with Llarowe and got everything I wanted.
