The Kiko summer np are quite pretty, I have Tropical Blue which is very nice, the regular ones are good too, and they are really afford able !

Love MMT!There are a couple of Kiko shops in London, one in Westfield and one on Regent Street, in fact I think there's also one in Stratford. They have a website, but I'm wary of ordering from that, I once did and had a very hard time sorting out the mistake THEY made. The order comes directly from Italy and their customer services is non-exsistent.
The only EP polishes I regret missing out on are the dark one (Vampire something) and the glitter one that launched at the same time, but I refuse to pay eBay prices. And yes, I too despise the EP woman.
Yes, funnily enough that sounds like a scam.
I also have an Enchanted to show you, I'm wearing Magical Mystery Tour today. Unfortunately I managed to mess it up again despite not going to bed for 3 hours after painting my nails, must be my top coat, I've recently changed to the Ciate Speed Coat Pro. I tried adding another coat this morning to smooth it out, then a couple of hours later while rummaging through my polish boxes I messed a couple of nails up. FFS!So please excuse the messed up bits. But otherwise it's such a gorgeous polish, and it's such a shame I'd not worn it before. The curse of way too many polishes.
Ciate clearly has a different definition of speed than I do!
I painted my nails with A England Tess D'Urbervilles, I'll try to get a pic, it was so rainy and dark out all day!
I've been trying to start figuring out my kitchen disaster area, I bought the paint for the cupboard doors/drawers today, so they wont be that gross green-beige with splatters of red wall paint on them(
Anyone get any of the new Hare's today? I have no money, so I didn't lol

Thanks for replying I think the next time I do my nails I'm going to use Orly Bonder see if that makes a difference.

Hi there Dillgaf! I love Essie and they have always worn well for me. I haven't purchased any new ones in quite some time though.
I find early chipping and tip wear to be mostly related to my activities but top coats seem to be the ticket for me. We're stanch
addicts and probably change our polish more frequently than most normal people.

Just stunning. I haven't been doing my nails because I'm still in an immobilizer & sling but I have managed to purchase some NPs. I'm getting antsy and
tired of my naked nails, but totally enjoying all of your hauls & manis.
MRV, so sorry I missed your birthday---I hope it was everything that you wanted it to be!

That is an awesome set of pictures! I love this in the bottle, I really feel the urge to wear it right now having seen those. But my Castle on a Cloud mani is still going strong - that's about 10/11 days now, no chips, no growth, no tipwear... Obviously wallpaper paste makes a nice hardwearing surface! Seriously impressed by the longevity after such a messy job putting it on!There are a couple of Kiko shops in London, one in Westfield and one on Regent Street, in fact I think there's also one in Stratford.

Oh that must be sooooo frustrating! I'm sure not being able to wear polish is the least of it, but somehow that one hits home! Hope you're on the mend!Everyone! It would require too many quotes to catch up, so I'll just acknowledge all of your fabulous manis---loving the beautiful colors and designs!

I really want to try a Dior Polish. Do you have a true red from them, similar to Chanel Dragon?? i bought Dragon and i finished the whole bottle in less than a year LOL
i want a true red again. Maybe Dior has one or maybe i just need Dragon Again.

I love getting nail mail I was a bit lacklustre on the glow in the dark polishes as I am no longer at the stage of my life I go night clubbing but I am glad I pick these up as Seance (the purple) looks especially purty!

I only like one of the new Hares (the blue dotty one), so I'm not too fussed, will probably get it from LLarowe or RC.
Still waiting for my Llarowe order from the 18th April, argh!
I did a new mani last night, used my minature sized Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger which is the most expensive polish I own per ml. BUT it is absolutely gorgeous! Still waiting for the sun to come out to take pictures, but if not, I'll do it indoors. It is really amazing! I only used one coat over black to make sure I don't use up the whole bottle in one go, and the formula was amazing, so was the coverage, and wow it is breathtaking.
I'm not going to be hauling much polish this month, I've already spent my monthly budget/allowance on make up (damn you Mac!), but I am beginning to be a bit more picky now anyway.
Lovely manis!Latest manis: Hare Flight ot the Flamingos. I was testing Revolution BC with this mani. I like the formula, and the way it applies, but I don't think It was a huge change when taking the mani off, but some.
And Lilypad Mixed Metals

Okay, I give up. I have taken a gazillion pictures, but none of them show just how gorgeous this polish is. The holo, although is scattered, is much stronger in person and the polish has this amazing shine to it. But anyway, here's some pictures:
I'm definitely keeping this on for a good few days if it doesn't chip, it was too expensive to waste, lol. Pretty happy though that the bottle still seems to be nearly full. It is a very small bottle, probably 4-5 ml, but it seems I still have a good 4-5 manis worth left in there. If I find a full sized bottle, I'll definitely get it, but it is very rare now.

Thanks so much Kimibos!
I can't believe you used a whole bottle of nail polish---and in less than a year! We have so much NP that I find it virtually impossible. That said, I have gravitated
to certain colors or a certain NP and have to force myself to use others.
Or maybe you need Dragon & a red Dior NP
