Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Well, what do you know, my Llarowe order turned up on Saturday after all! Except for Mystery & Mayhem, the polish they need to reformulate of course. I got Precious Metal as my free polish which is cool. I never got around to ordering it, it was always on my maybe list, so it's nice to have now.





I also placed an order with Edgy Polish the other day and the order arrived super fast. I got their exclusive CrowsToes, a Mentality polish and Polish Addict Imagine Dragons. It's slightly different to my daughter's one, seems to have less of the big round glitters and it has a different label.



I missed the postman today with my Rainbow Connection (CrowsToes) order, but never mind. Having it redelivered on Wednesday.

This is my current mani, Nails Inc Westbourne Mews topped with Liquid Sky Lacquer Posy Petals. I was going to change it tonight, but managed to cut my thumb quite badly this evening while cooking, so I think I'll leave it for another day. Can't bear the thought of nail polish remover going in my cut.

Oooo, pretty order! And cute mani too, so pretty.
My Llarowe order arrived too, but I'm not sure why I didn't get my free polish
I only ordered one CbL, plus a few others, and the CbL was one of the ones that went wrong and is on backorder. My delivery note said 3 polishes, + 1 free, plus 1 on Back Order, but there was no free polish. I emailed last night to find out if I was not eligible or if it was coming with the other one, but no answer yet. I'm a bit disappointed, as I would have waited to order later if it hadn't been for the freebie.

The Jindie Nails polish was a freebie from RC.

Nidavellir is still calling my name, and I like the look of that Powder Perfect - which one is that? I'm hoping to pick up Fog is Rolling In soon, and I think this might join it in my order!
Overall pretty haul!

Thank you, Pearly Queen! Yes, we did enjoy the trip, especially a few fine restaurants!

I never seem to buy a lot of polishes from London, but I sure did talk about them with several SAs!


Merci, Dominique! It's a really nice turquoise. Many people noticed it.


I think you could find nice oranges and yellows form OPI's and CG's 2014 spring and summer collections.

I don't know about BCs though, I would like to find myself one that prevents my nails from peeling. I've had to shorthen them every week because two of them are just crumbling.


Hope things are better with you, Anitacska.

I think that Orly makes a nice accent event though the glitters are more sparse. That golden polish looks very nice! The goldness reminds me of some of the Essie polishes that came out with Belugaria (wonder when I get to wear that one!

).


Yeah, as I said in the thread, they are just too simple.


Nope, no IBs. Thank you!

You're our resident nail artist, Anneri! The green one looks cute. Love the stripes and dots! Yesterday I saw another interesting stripe mani, I think it was on ILNP's FP.


Lovely hauls! You got lucky with that gift polish.

I first though that the glitter polish is one of those Inc ones. I have not really noticed LSL glitters before. Probably the stock varies from shop to shop.



Thanks, we had a nice time, and I got my MU fix, tea and a pair of shoes! It's all sorted out now, and I'm really glad that I was able to order the EPs! (She sent me a message that it's ok.) I would have gone crazy hunting them down (not to mention the prices) as Mac has already kept me going all year: some collections I've had to buy/order from four different places because they don't sent the stock to my Mac and most collections don't even come here!

More holos!


That's a lovely colour. I don't know if I'm going to get more Darling Diva. There's been some issues with some polishes.


Lovely hauls! I have Muspelheim and Nidavellir on their way to me, too. Or I think they're actually waiting for me in the post office. Yesterday I got a note saying "United States" has sent me a package. Llarowe packages have always been delivered to my work before. Maybe it's the summer sub who doesn't want to cary them. Grr.

I have to ask, if you don't mind sharing, what issues were there with Darling Diva? I've got an eye on a few more, and I don't want to buy if there's a problem with them!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Ok, here's the latest manis:

OPI Down to the Core-Al (lovely colour but not so nice formula) with Anneri's franken!



I needed a quick one so Zoya Chita it was. This was a one coater but next time I'll def. put two coats as there was quite a lot of tip wear.


And gradient skittles(?) from OPI Off Shore Colletion: Shore Enuff, Be More Pacific, and Sun Upon My Skin.

I love these manis, especially the first two, not my usual colours but they look really pretty on you. And just perfect, as always.

 

[PearlyQueen]

But I didn't manage to get anything because everything was already hold in carts. Would have liked Water for Elephants and Secret Sauce! Oh well.

Yup, no chance there I fear! I did have a go at WFU myself, but it was a goner already!

Hope we'll all have a better luck next time!

Sorry to hear you've missed out, girls. Luckily I've already got all the polishes she restocked today, so it didn't matter to me.

PearlyQueen, sorry about you not getting the free polish, they are pretty good usually, I'm sure they'll send you one when they send you the backordered polish.

There's a CbL restock tonight and I'm thinking about getting the Mighty Red Baron and Gemini Rising, but I'm not sure I will, since the shipping is quite expensive now and takes ages. Might get them from Harlow at the next restock as her shipping is cheaper and fast, plus she doesn't seem to sell out of CbLs quickly.

Funnily enough it is Fog is Rolling In!

How funny, doesn't look like I expected! I like it though!

The Mighty Red Baron is a beautiful red, I'm really glad I bought mine. I have no money, so nothing for me tonight, though there are a couple I wouldn't mind getting. Both blue...! I'm nothing if not consistent!

Possibly not the best picture, will try to take a better one. It's very pretty though.

LOVE!

how easy are nail pens to work with and what tools did you use for your Dutch Mani?

Thank you Pretty! Over here, Maybelline has a promo going for their nailartpens - basically you buy one polish and get a pen for free. I got all pens - they look like felt tip pens or marker (I'd add a pic but my stupid phone won't let me atm) so painting dots and stripes are fairly easy. I haven't tried anything else with them yet. The Durch nails were done with striping tape - you basically start with your base colour, tape some areas off and colour them in later. Hth!

 

[beautycool]

OMG even though I'm off nail polish I am not so in love with it now lol just flogged lots of enchanted jindie Emily de Molly etc x Tonight This mani with the mint green and the other one That's the most prettiest ever mani apart from my wedding day mani last year lol I have seen for ages omg x I cannot rember the other girl who I loved her manis on Fb and she was a blogger too x I Just cannot think of her name now

 

[Anitacska]

Here's another picture of Powder Perfect Fog is Rolling In as well as the whole lot. The other pictures were taken by my crappy phone camera with no flash (it doesn't work anymore).







And my mani, China Glaze All Wrapped Up. I have since updated it with some chevrons, will show you tomorrow.

 

[Fuzzy]

hi all, sorry I haven't been around much, I haven't done any nail stuff due to working on my kitchen and a whole lot of other stuff it seems like...., but now that the painting has started I can get back to making my nails nice! My cuticles are a mess

Everyone's manis and hauls look great!

I grabbed Summer...finally!, Read my lips more new colors and Holiday Road from the CbL restock today and I think my NailPolishCanada order should be here tomorrow- yay more cuticle remover!

Thanks for the updated pics, looks a bit more like I expected but still a bit different. Must buy soon...
Love the new mani, that's a really flattering shade of blue on you.

You're welcome. FIRI is quite a unique shade, I don't have anything like it.

Thanks. It's a bit more blurple than blue irl, but yes, it does go pretty well with my skintone.
