Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

I hope you love your EP, it looks stunning on you! I really love your two last manis there - the Kiko one looks really vampy and sophisticated, and though the Essie is way paler than I would ever go that combo of colours and stamping is just ethereally beautiful. Well done you.

Hi all Everyone's manis are looking awesome! Ugh I'm so far behind lol I didn't even do my nails last week - too many headaches, ear aches and allergies. Boo. I'm so broke from Alluring Aquatic and grocery prices(I should buy a mini lime tree and put it in my apartment, 1 tiny lime = $1!!!) that I tried to stay away from temptation a bit. I used my most recent purchase CbL Ted's Laugh -which is so much more pretty in person.

Sorry to hear you've been having a tough time. Just out of curiousity, what do you do with all those limes? I like Ted's Laugh very much, I have it too, but haven't worn it yet.

There's too much pollen!! aaaahhhhhh!

LOL well it's not like I'm buying a million limes, I use them in green curry and Mexican chicken soup and drinks too. It's all the produce that's really expensive, the limes were just the most shocking because they were more expensive but also super small- the size of a walnut! I guess that's due to the drought in Cali/ Mexico. I've seen people in the US wondering what's up with limes too. I'll get the grocery store back by eating all of the free samples LOL

Ted's Laugh is definitely one of those polishes that looks as good on the nails as it does in the bottle.

Limes are about a $1 here too, weirdly so are lemons. We have a giant lemon tree that yields us about 50-70 lemons a week year round so I have been giving them to people and the local food shelter.
(My husbands loves lime juice in water so I always keep an eye out for limes).

Wow that's a lot of lemons! I've had cherry tomato plants go wild before and I had to pawn them off on everyone who would eat them. Half my family are anti-tomatoites LOL
I haven't bought lemons since I made cookies in December so I'm not sure what they cost right now.

I kind of want a dwarf lime tree now...

Our lemon tree is original to the house so over 100 years old. I joke it's broken into the water table and/or our sewer lines... we just have really fertile land as we are just near a river and it was orginally farm land. Anything grows, apart from two months in Feb/Mar where the temperature spikes +100F for weeks on end. Our tomatoes are going pretty crazy too but I eat them pretty regularly and incorporate into veggie soups/pasta sauce so that's not as bad.

Thank you hun! I definitely love the EP, it's not as flashy as I thought it would be and that's a good thing.
And imagine, that wasn't stamping but just me and my dotting tool!

Yeah, AA broke the bank for some of us I guess - me included! Get better soon!


Here's the OPI Holiday LE - again Gwen Stefani. Do we see a pattern here? First Mariah and now Gwen?! I liked the Mariah better with the textured polishes. This is boring. All these tc! Just put some glitter in a base and you're done. Could've done that myself.

Huh, that EDM looks stunning! Did you put the bottle upside down before application? It helps mostly because the bigger particles fall to the bottom - or you could give them a stir with and old paper clip!


Thank you! I really like this kind of delicate colours at the moment. I want to do a gradient with those two next. And some marbeling...

I saw the OPI holiday collection the other day and immediately thought BORING! But no doubts there will be some other gorgeous holiday collections between the 50 indied brands I follow, so no worries, lol.

I went shopping today in the town center (they have a Rossmann) and bought two Essence polishes, will take pictures later when I can. Also just changed my mani to the coral pink OPI summer sand it's really pretty and bright. Love it! Again, will try to take pictures later.

 

[Anitacska]

My mani, the summer OPI coral pink sand polish.

Also, my mini Essence haul

 

[Prettypackages]

That EDM blue is everything.

 

[Medgal07]

One of my new favs Dominique!

 

[Medgal07]

That's a nice Essie. I got it, too!

Oui, bleu-vert, c'est très joli!


Have a nice stay in Hungary! I think MCC is kind of a "matte with glitter" - if that's possible!


Bleu Cyclades looks very nice on you!

I'm wearing Orly Ablaze. A neon coral with golden shimmer - this is the neon bomb!

WOW---what an awesome color MRV---perfect for one of our 'brights' weeks

:macwallet: for sure hboy: lol My dad saw limes for 50¢ each so he picked me up 2! And I'm not feeling that holiday collection :sleepy:

My mani, the summer OPI coral pink sand polish.

Also, my mini Essence haul

Great polish colour! And nice mini haul :flower: My Dad's GF got me 2 polishes, that was nice

The first one is from clothing store Reitmans called Green/white Splatter -it's green and white semi-matte glitter and NOPI Sand in my Shoe

 

[MRV]

Thanks, Med! It is a really lovely bright! I think it would suit you, too!

Nice gift! A yellow sand. I don't think I have one in yellow.


Ok, here's CT Vanaheim. A Multichrome (impossible to photograph) with lots of glitters. It is mostly emerald/yellow green/golden, but in some lighting (late last night) it was also teal-purple.

 

[Anitacska]

You have done such great manis again! Congrats on the EP ( I do want to see a marbled mani with it!). That glitter Kiko looks nice, too. Can't wait to check them out!


Thanks!


Thanks! How is that even possible??

Fuzzy! Hope you're doing better. Ted's Laugh looks nice, I did not get that one though. Now that I see it, it reminds me of CT Me and This Army which I have.


Your garden sounds heavenly! I've grown all sorts of exotic fruits and plants for years - indoors!

Thanks! Yes, I started to stir the bottle the night before, and it was in all sorts of positions, but the glitters just did not want to move until I had done the mani of course. Next time I might need some extra tool to make them move.

OPI Holiday

This sand looks pretty, too. Bummer they did not make them full size!! Those little toppers are actually really handy - you don't always need more than that.


The blue creme is from Nails Inc. Sorry I did not mention it.

That is so gorgeous! I can't remember if I've managed to order that one yet, but I definitely will.

I had a major panic last night. Sally Magpies restocked the Lilypads and I tried ordering on my phone, but the Paypal link wouldn't work on my mobile. Eeek! My sister has a computer but it's in the room where my husband, our younger daughter and I sleep, so I couldn't start it up then. I ended up e-mailing her and asked her to invoice me through Paypal, and luckily she's agreed to that. She has the new ones Llarowe restocked a while ago and I missed out on. Phew!

Is anyone doing the Mei Mei charity raffle? It ends tonight. I've bought 6 tickets. She has 38 sets of polishes (2 in each set) from loads of brands like Elevation, Indigo Bananas, etc. and some others I've not heard of. I really hope I win something, they are gorgeous. This is the link if anyonoe's interested: http://meimeisignatures.blogspot.sg/2014/03/charity-polish-raffle-2014.html

[Anitacska]

Really excited, just saw on FB that I've won one of the polish duos from Mei Mei! Yippee!

I won't know which one until I receive them, but they're all pink and glittery, so who cares anyway, lol?!

I love this color

I have a great green like this and I love it. This one is really nice though .
