Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

You are funny!


Thanks. It doesn't really look pink irl, more orange thanks to the golden sheen.


Well of course!

I have to say I was very happy with Color4Nails, this was my first order andd it arrived quickly and shipping was't too bad. Llarowe is really taking the piss now with herr shipping costs!

Apparently there's a new shop, lilypadlacquer.com, but it only has one nail polish on it?

Oh and does anyone know what's happened to Norway Nails? It says closed until further notice.

I went to look at the Lilypad website, I don't think it works very well, it kept locking my pc up!

I've used Color4Nails before, I really rate them - and it's very reasonable if you get a load. My order arrived in a week flat, no import duties either. Norway Nails - Wenche is sick, hubby's dealing with orders but they're not taking more till she's better.

Thanks. Hope it's nothing serious. Although NN is quite expensive, she does stock some great brands and has some nice exclusives as well.

And on that note, Color4Nails is having a sale too, 20% off sale items. Code: 2020C4N

I forgot to post my new polishes last week:


Enchanted Polish Hot Chocolate, Polish Me Silly Alter Ego, Jindie Nails Multi Trick Pony

And I had to do a midweek mani after Early Riser chipped:

Not my most successful! I started with Alan Roy Spice Drop, which is a nice teal green cream, then I thought it really would benefit from adding some blue glitter, so I added Beauty UK Glam Polish Blue Glitter 73. First coat too sparse, looked awful,. Added a second, too much! Now it looks very patchy indeed, though this pic seems to have got its good side - must keep my hands at an angle in sunlight till I dump it!

That one's got me confused -their site has two sections - sale and clearance - but the prices aren't reduced on most of the items in them, and the code doesn't work with them! I guess there might be a few items that count, but I don't know how you're meant to find them!

Hey, I just got this one. I don't often get blues but this was the best of them. And for some odd reason I also got the red one, and the Coca Cola red. I don't do reds either!

That's really pretty. I can't help but wonder though if I've seen it before, must be another multichrome that's similar to this, maybe ILNP or Girly Bits or Hits?

 

[ChosenOne]

I could add that glitter polishes that have a sparse glitter (like a glitter TC) are usually easier to take off. BUT, ChosenOne, the polishes you're taking about - Airy Fairy or Chuffed - are not glitter polishes, they are shimmers!

I'll post some pics form my phone.

Shimmers, not glitters? I've never seen them in person. I would imagine that's kind of like the difference between a MAC lustreglass versus a dazzleglass? Being that they are shimmers and not glitters, does that mean they are easier to take off, like regular nail polish? Because that would be awesome.

OMG why haven't I worn this yet??? I can't believe how many colours you've managed to capture there, it's absolutely awesome - big thumbs up on your photography skills too! I was trying to photograph this week's mani yesterday, and yet again I failed to catch the colours I see - my eyes and my camera just pick up the shades completely differently! I should have brought Mr Camera to work today, the sun is out and I might have had a bit more luck! I'll post the pics when I manage to capture the polish properly. Or when I give up!!!

Thanks! I don't know how I managed to capture all those shades (usually it's so difficult), maybe it was just the different lights that worked this time. The polish was nicer than I though it would be!

Pretty mani and pretty flowers!

Thanks! It's a really cute neon coral. I took this photo about 10.30 pm so the lightness of the colour does not show.

Poor summer flowers! They are feeling the heat now. Yesterday we hit +30 C (our normal dry heat, not so unsuportable), and this morning before 10 am the temperature went over +25 C already. And I have the summer flu . I think I'll fix my face and go buy some strawberries from the market place.

I've been really snowed under, but here are a couple of mani pictures finally. First is China Glaze Electric Lilac over Nails Inc Dover Street. It chipped like crazy and the Nails Inc polish really stained my nails, they are bright pink now!



My current mani is KBShimmer Run! It's The Coppers! I just wanted something simple and easy to take off. It's really pretty though.



Also, my CbL Mystery & Mayhem has arrived.



No other nail polish hauls to report, although I'm expecting my Serum No. 5 Flashing Lights pre-order from Rainbow Connection which should be here tomorrow. Has anyone heard from EP yet about shipping the pre-orders? I'm guessing it must be pretty soon now. And we'll see how long Llarowe will take sending out my Lilypads.

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks! There surely is something similar but I can't remember now which one it would be. I don't have GBs or Hits though, nor any of the ILNPs rings the bell. Maybe it's something else.


I have not the polishes in question but usually the shimmers are much easier to get off than glitters. There may be some differences but generally they are on the easier side to get off.

I'm pretty sure it's either one of the Sally Hansen multichromes or one of the Ozotic 500 series polishes that look like this. Can't think of names and numbers right now, maybe 504 or 505? And I think it's SH Turquoise Opal? May be totally wrong though, lol.
