Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Lovely manis ladies! I especially love the matching EP glitter topper, I haven't used mine in ages, I think I once tried Ola Rio, but wasn't too excited about how it looked. Maybe I should try it with a duochrome under it too. MRV, I also really like that Hare, that was my favourite (well, the only one I liked) from the new collection, but haven't got it yet.

I have a mani to show you too, this is Femme Fatale Glassweb. No sun today, so only managed to photograph under artificial light. The purple duochrome doesn't show again. But it's very pretty, quite a delicate colour, and perfectly matches the sky today - boohoo!

Also, my ILNP haul minus Peace which is now en route to me.

And, Sally Magpies has FINALLY sent me the invoice!

So hopefully things are finally looking up for me polish-wise. Just waiting for the postman now to see if anything's coming today.

Yay! Glad the polish world has improved for you. I do like Glassweb, one of the polishes I've actually worn, and I was happy with it though it's a bit more subtle than my usual choices! Looks good on you.
Those ILNPs look nice all together, I wish I'd been able to afford the whole collection (except the yellow holo, which I would never ever wear!), hope you enjoy them. Thank goodness your Lilypads are safe too, look forward to seeing what you chose.

New mani is Nails Inc Kensington Palace magnetic: My first attempt with a magnetic polish!  I've learned a few lessons which I hope will make my next go a bit better.  I quite like it, but I don't think I'll be buying any more magnetics - I have about 4 of them, and I found it almost impossible not to touch the nail with the magnet, and I'm useless with my left hand!  I think I've put paid to any complicated attempts at nail art in future - I'm just rubbish!  New polish this week was EP Djinn in a Bottle: It doesn't look any different to other holo top coats in the bottle, We shall see when I use it.

Imagine I've never used a magnetic polish before! I like the base colour of that a lot!

Just thought I'd share my failure! But...how do you learn if you don't try? !!

Practice makes perfect, right? I've never tried freehand nailart because I highly doubt that my hands are calm enough to do that! For a first attempt it looks really great.

Yeah, I have the Indigo Bananas ones and they're miles better. That's why I don't see the big hoohah about Djinn. Well, I guess it's because it's an EP... :dunno:

I hate when this happens. Andrea from IB is such a nice person and seems to care about her customers a lot, her polishes are great and still people buy products like Djinn like nobody's business though there're better products out there!

I have a mani to share! I've been slacking on doing my nails this year, and forgot to take pics half the time when I do, but this one was too good to keep to myself LOL. Just put this on tonight so it is pre clean-up This is PP Aurora (2 coats, over black) topped with EP Ciao Milano (1 coat). They are pretty much a perfect match colour-wise. The duochrome on both is insanely good, the EP just adds some extra sparkly oomph.  I'm excited to see how this looks in daylight!

Jenny! Nice to see you in here! Great mani!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope you will get your orders fixed soon. I got my Llarowe order last Monday, the 26th. Although I think I usually get the mail faster than others in Europe in average. There's always the first trial! I have only two magnetic polishes, a CG one (I used a circle magnet and that was actually the reason I got it), and last year I got the Dior one, it was 50% off I think. Yeah, I have used my Djinn, too, and the holo is not very strong. That's a very summery mani! I like the yellow polish. I would not mind ALG because it's green. Yes, you have to try and try. I have not been very succesful with stamping either. It takes several times to get something right. What technique did you use here? A brush? Pretty! I was just eyeing these polishes the other day. I might get Sweet Lilac. Lovely! Aurora is the best! It has an awesome shift! And from personal experience I can say that Ciao Milano is equally awesome over a multichrome :haha: : This is DL Sulley and EP Ciao Milano. First I though that I would pair the Big City Lights with other EPs, but when I pulled out the DL Chameleons I found perfect matches for them! This was a peacock on steroids, crazy green/teal - fiery magenta - and my phone said blahhh! Current mani is Hare From the Balcony of the Chateau Marmont. Great formula.

Two great manis! Why do I always love the Hares on you but am unimpressed when I wear them myself?!

That FF is right up my alley. Looks like a kind of greyish Nude?

Looks like you're back with a vengeance! Great hauls! Enjoy!!!!

[Anneri]

Oh, totally forgot to post this pic of the Opi & Ford collab for Fuzzy!

 

[Anitacska]

Looks like you're back with a vengeance! Great hauls! Enjoy!!!!

No, it's a dusky blue with purple duochrome. I've taken some pictures in direct sun (the clouds have left eventually), will upload later, hopefully they're better for colour likeness.

Magnetics are so old I rember getting the nails inc ones in 2011 They were brill I liked them Omg I loved the opi magnetic when that come out I purchased in Sally's or capital by me One or the other x Love the opi gel went on a course to do that I'm not really into my nail polish now But I love getting trade prices I need to go to a show in London excel or whet ever it's called for make up and nails Beauty x

 

[Anitacska]

This is more like the actual colour, but I think it's even bluer in real life.

What are those wing dusts ones I sold the same colour ones this year or last year to someone x I wonder if you got them from one of my nail friends on Fb x

Oh that's veeeeeery pretty Anitacska! I tried to snap some pics today too but it was quite rainy - we even had a thunderstorm. Next week it's going to become unbearably hot - over 30 degrees. Go figure. Some of my manis: Manhattan Laguna Love with matte tc:

EP Future Reflections which I got because PearlyQueen told me so and it's love!

Two LE Catrice polishes

 

[Anitacska]

Gorgeous manis as always!

It was hailing here an hour ago, after a cool, rainy day it is now about 9 degrees outside. It's supposed to be June! But then, I'd rather this than 30 degrees. That was the forecast for Hungary too when we left, that's why I like living in England instead.

So many bottles of awesome! Love the look of your Dance Legends in particular. I've been vaguely tempted by those Nails Inc florals, I'm looking forward to seeing you wearing those. Enjoy!

 

[PearlyQueen]

That is even more stunning than the earlier pic, I LOVE IT!

 

[PearlyQueen]

I love all of these, stunning! And I'm so relieved you love FR after I practically made you buy it!

Broke a nail

That's a lovely red!

Eek, I've just added the new stuff to my spreadsheet and I have now hit 2000 polishes. I think I really need to stop buying now.

On another note, I have decided to restart blogging. I'm not a nail blogger, but since I hardly buy make up now, I'm going to focus on nail polishes and manis. If you're interested, I'll pop the link in my signature.

Nice glowy red! sorry about your nail. ouchies


No mani for me this week, I'm working with solvent on my disaster kitchen cabinets

 

[MRV]

also fab! I don't have Ciao Milano... Ozotic 528 is the same-ish right?

Nice to see one of the new batch of Hares!

I'll probably get the blue one.

Thanks, Fuzzy! I don't have any Ozotics but I thinks so.

I might get the blue one, too.

Be careful with those solvents! I've renovated some old furniture and I always used traditional methods (= hard manual labor

). Never again solvents after I tried them once with my window frames.


I already mentioned to Anneri that I have a NP related project. Well here is the first outcome:



NP earrings! I chose the strongest glitter I have, DL Glitter and Be Gay. I will make other pairs once I figure out which polish I should use. Any suggestions?

 

[Lalalish]

Thanks! Yes, I also think the DL multichromes are one of the best. I have all the Chameleons, but I've used only the Knight and Sulley so far. That will be awesome! Yes, you should try that combo. I like this Hare, too. It's a good one. That FF is looking nice. I have most FFs, but not many holos. Is the holo strong? I think EdM holos might be stronger. Love those ILNPs :eyelove: ! I have not ordered yet, but maybe after next payday. :cheer: You did get Vanaheim! Nice selection. Those florals...maybe one of them once I see the bottles. Thanks, Anneri! Why so? Your nail lenght and shape are similar to mine, so they should look at least as good if not better :dunno: .     I already mentioned to Anneri that I have a NP related project.

Those are nice! I'm trying to be more creative, but I never would have thought of that!! Bracelets to match??
