Fuzzy: No inhaling burning foam! Are they still working on upgrades to the site? My multiquote button is missing, and my avatar seems to have changed to a pair of lips on its own accord (My profile page still shows the nail polish photo). V. strange.

Yeah, I ended up placing only one single NP order on my payday (spring ILNPs). That must be a record! Love stamping over gradient! Nice combo! You need to try them w/o the TC, too! Which sands do you have? Some might be with finer texture. You need to wait 15 minutes between sand polish coats. They are actually the quickest ones to dry compared to a regular mani. Thanks, yes it is! Yes, and it was actually even better: one of the polishes they sent me was not the one I ordered. So I contacted them, and they replied swiftly saying that I can keep the polish and the correct one is almost on it's way to me! So, I ended up with two free polishes! I'm still contempating... Oh no, I was just thinking about ordering Revolution. Good to know you can't mix it with other BCs. Nice resque, and accents! Thanks! That Ciate looks lovely! Nice mani! LAMB is the only polish I got from this collection, too. 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 :thud: I still have one Helmer drawer full of BLs and Illamasquas to go through!
Other than the 2 I used I have OPI Jinx and Alcatraz Rocks. Haha I'm not sure I can do it! :bangin: I have my polishes listed on my iPhone too, and I can start my swatch sticks soon because I have my markers now! I will need to get more sticks ordered soon, I know I don't have enough.
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.
The fire department dispatch page still shows it as active, yikes! Your mani makes me think of cupcakes with the round sugar confetti sprinkles! Yum :yum: :amused:
Fuzzy: No inhaling burning foam!
:thud: ok :lol: As I mentioned above- Sharpie oil-based paint markers:

you Medgal ! oh yes Tapage is perfect for summer and if it's snowing, well it's like saying " Summer, I am calling you " !
The site seems to be a tad wonky tonight. At any rate yes Dominique I am so ready for warmth & sunshine
so I'm trying to get it through my manis.

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.


iagree.gif


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.


Oh no, that's not looking good.

Ahoy MRV!! The TF lippie in the photo is Flamingo, a cool toned hot pink. I love TF lippies.
The YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush is indeed unique to my experience. I got Fuchsia Desinvolte,
a shocking pink color. The texture is super light and it doesn't give the appearance of lipstick
but definitely exceeds a stain. The applicator is also unique--a paddle shape w/an opening in the
center that grips the product as you remove it from the bottle. You only need a very small amount
as a blush and it blends effortlessly. I love both the pigmentation and texture as both a lip and cheek
item. I can't speak to duration at this time because I tried it before bed, but I am looking forward to
wearing it. I'm also eyeing one or two other colors in the line. HTHs!

Oh, & the TF NP is Coral Beach, a soft peachy coral.

Alcatraz is lovely. Try it out! But generally I think Zoya's sands are finer than the OPIs. Hope the smoke is gone now!

Off topic but Kimibos, the Chanel angled face brush that has been backordered on Chanel.com for months is now available at Bloomies. I might have seen it at Nordies too
It's an amazing brush if you're still interested.

Thank you for the mini review! You pick up some lovely colours! I love my all two

TF lippies, too!

Today I happened to go by the YSL BDK&Bs at a store, so I had to swatch a few - the orange #4 and the coral #7. I really loved the coral
heart.gif
. I'm crazy about light orange shades these days. Unfortunately the YSLs cost here 45 Euros
thud.gif
- def. no-no! I also saw a lip swatch of the shade you have. It looked really lovely!

Thanks, I try to stalk then. I might need Darcy in my life, too.

I did not have time to check out the new DLs, but they must be available also later on. I'm more into brights now anyways.


Thanks, Med! I've been buying summer dresses since the New Year!

Yeah, got my Oopsies and Revolution, and that's it.


Those are nice sands! Courage! Happy swatching!

Thanks, someone said to my today that my mani looks like an Easter mani. There seems to be so many interpretations!

Nice haul!


Such a lovely manis! You have great polishes, and your nails look really good. I have noticed that my nails don't grow at all the same way they do in the summer time, so thank you for the cuticle oil tip, I've been thinking what to get once my current oil runs out.

My pleasure MRV! I don't have many TF lippies either. Did you find the YSL formula light? I don't know if I'm even describing it accurately but I have nothing else like
it.

The orange one is on my list and I'll have to check out the peach one---both colors are favs for me. I'm wearing the Fuchsia Desinvolte today along w/my YSL
Rose Baby Doll NP. Lovely together--like who knew??

Thanks Med! The spots are actually leopard spots I stamped on and then filled in with the golden polish. Hubby said it's the best mani I ever did but best take that with a grain of salt because that's the guy who doesn't know pink from coral lol!

Thank you MRV! I actually like BF more in the bottle than on my nails, but it's pretty nevertheless. Do you plan on getting Borealis on Monday?

I love it! Which company puts out Bad Fairy? I need to investigate this polish further :p

Went to an Estee Lauder warehouse sale in Friday. Most of the polishes are Clinique, so having barely recovered from the last time I tried a clinique polish, I passed.

I did get a double set, a purple lip gloss and a grapeish purple nail polish in Micheal Kors (15$ for the both). It looks like a lovely colour, does anybody have experience with this polish brand? Tried the gloss already and it is gorgeous.

Sorry, I'm not going to quote anyone, but just generally wanted to say, lovely manis! I've been reading in the background for a couple of days, but was too busy or tired to reply. We've had a couple of very difficult days with my daughter.

Anyway, I have some pictures to show you. I've finally got around to ordering the Zoya Magical Pixies and also Monet.



And this is my current mani, Glitter Gal Fuchsia 3D holo stamped and before stamping (late last night). Yes, I know, it's not fuchsia, but that's what it's called.

It took me a long time to stamp, I don't know if my stamper is a bit rubbish or the plate isn't great (it's Pueen), but I might try getting another stamper. Or maybe I was scraping too much off? The plate ended up pretty scratched afterwards. Hmm.
