Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[MRV]

Hahaha, it took me a minute to realise what day it was!

I was just thinking I need to show this to my coworkers if they start complaining about my manis!

Thank you all for liking my manis and specially all the nice comments about my nails. After the trip my nutrition got so bad that i had ridges, they looked very bad. i didnt wear polish for 2 months and was nauseated by the smell of the polish and acetone. i have been putting lots of the orly Argan oil, and a mixed a made of olive+sweet almond oil. i do have to admit that even at my worst my nails always grow long and strong. im very lucky at that.

Thanks, kimibos! Which one is the dupe?

You are lucky to have healthy nails!

Looks like Cirque is having a new collection:

Oops, just counted and realised I got 20 polishes this month. Oopsie!

Hey ladies! So I've been seeing the beard manicure everywhere on the catwalks and I wanted to try. Used L'Oreal Grace Tweed for the hairy bits, Maybelline Light Up for the textured sort of beard type feeling and then L'Oreal Goldleaf for some added bling. I looove it!

You got me Honi

My first thought was that Helen Keller did your nails----said *w/high pitch & questioning in a bewildered tone*

Way to go Anneri--someone has to help Anitacska uphold our image cause I've failed miserably!

Thanks, Anneri! Forgot to say that the fans contain my worn polishes only (minus last week's polishes).

Looks like you are going to have some fun with your nails!

Nice manis! Your TB looks quite blackish. I also got a very black version of it (the lady from Norway Nails did some comparative swatches back then).


Thanks, Med! Actually today I feel kind of complished: finally I have all of my polishes listed in Excel! The Excel count shows 11 polishes more than I thought I had, but I think I have to believe this new figure (opposed to my earlier bottle count) as I counted each brand at least twice when listing up the names.

I like to accent two fingers so that I can mark the polish as 'used'!

Thanks, Anitacska! Maybe I was one, too

!


Lovely combo!


Sounds serious, Honey.


Thanks, Fuzzy! I swatched about 10 polishes / a few nights per week, but towards the end I went crazy and just swatched and swatched!!!

Let's hope so!

The list is the way to go isn't it MRV!!! It has saved me from buying the same NP twice on more than one occasion.

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. thanks hun! i should let my dad know. he got me the blush, the stippling and concealer ones! i luv him!

That's a great dad you have there. You will love this brush---it's become my fav for bronzing because of the angular shape & it's super dense!

Thanks Med! Here's a group picture:

And here's the first stamping attempt:

I like the roses a lot and will use them again soon. I need some practice!!! I'm very disappointed in the konad plate m66 dupe I got. I didn't manage to transfer the image on the stamper at all. I tried with a lot of polishes, but nothing. Any advice? I googled and some blogger said she had the same problem until she got a squishier stamper. Maybe I should get a new one?

Brilliant! Maybe the whole hand is the next big thing, might actually finish some polishes if so!
Love your dedication to a joke!

Thanks MRV! I do have a very dark True Blood, was a little disappointed with it to be honest. The joys of handmade I guess!

Some cool colours there, I'm especially fancying those Catrices - not to mention my UTTER JEALOUSY of your Bad Fairy!
I do like stamping, and that's a lovely colour scheme.

My latest one crossed of the untried mountain - Teal Pearl by Lilypad Lacquer:
In sun

Under halogens

In shade outdoors

And since you've shown an interest:

Morpheus


Ziggy

 

[Anneri]

Awwwwwww, Ziggy is soooooooo cute!

I also like the Lilypad mani. It looks nearly metallic in the outdoors' !

I fell in love with the new DD collection today and seriously consider buying them all: http://www.plumpandpolished.com/2014/03/different-dimension-spring-2014.html

I'll tell her! The Lilypad manages to be both metallic and holo, and it's my fave of theirs so far.
I've had an eye on Different Dimension for a while, but haven't got any yet. I'm not really attracted to this collection apart from Tulips are better than one - it's right up my street! Even though I'm meant to be cutting down, I can't see me avoiding this one, though 4 coats is pushing it!
The others don't seem different enough to stuff I already have, apart from the gold (and it's not my shade at all).

I love this colour! And longer nails are a pain, I like to be able to do stuff with my hands.

Teeny tiny haul from Mei Mei, The Nail Junkie Fish and Femme Fatale Midnight Masquerade (Mei Mei exclusive):



Also my current mani. Please excuse tipwear, cracking, chipping, it's not the best one ever. But very pretty colour. It's Glitter Gal Red 3D Holo.
