I want to say thanks again for the heads up on the ILNP sale. I got 10 polishes! I've never tried ILNP before, so I'm super excited!!

Oh cool! What did you get? I'm going back and worth wondering if I should order a few, it's a very good deal.

...oh. Well those I have, and am actually able to do (even if they're a pain to scrape off after the fact). Stupid small phone screen...lol!Not belittling MRV's efforts, but that's just a glitter topper polish.

Finally managed to get (lots of) pics of my new mani!
This week I've gone for Elevation Polish, Pic de Subenuix:
It looks most like the last one most of the time. My only Elevation, though I doubt that will last much longer as this is stunning! It's a shimmer polish with a purple base and green shimmer, it's amazing how something so simple can be so complex. A dream to wear too. I tried to get some others at last night's restock but since it happened at 3am my time, I managed to sleep through it and the ones I wanted were gone when I woke up at 4!

We all love that OPI! Hope it lives up to its new-found reputation!Nice haul, Underlight it so pretty!
It was nice for a couple of days and then it got all hot and gross again- it should be nicer on Wednesday for cabinet door painting part 3! hopefully... lol
I ordered from C4N back in December(Femme Fatale holiday shades), I actually got my parcel in time to do an xmas mani and I was cutting it very close. Of course I had no electricity so that mani didn't get done after all LOL
I just ordered this one!
wow so bright!

Pretty manis, especially the purple, what a shame it was a bit of a nightmare in the wearing coz it's lovely. And I always love a good holo!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.

Very pretty. I have this too, but haven't worn it yet. In fact I haven't worn any of my 5 Elevations. Naughty me.Finally managed to get (lots of) pics of my new mani!

Lol, it was fairly purple on the deliveries front! Mercy is purple too, doesn't even lean to blue, more to pink.
I did order a couple of ILNPs, but shipping was so high I've sent them to my US PO box, so I won't be seeing them for a good long time! I already had most of the ones I wanted from the discontinued list, I went mad when the November collection came out and bought almost all of them!
You should wear PdS, it's stunning - I was completely underwhelmed when it arrived, doesn't look special in the bottle, but it's sooo pretty on the nails.

That EP is incredibly lovely. I'm not that often on Specktra as I used to be, and when I am, I just check some of the threads I like and skim over news. I'm reading a lot right now and I'm also helping a friend with a project that's quite time consuming. But I still paint my nails a lot!
That's exactly the shade of blue I'm always drawn to. Love it! Pity on the long wearing-ness though!
How often do you all change your polish? I used to do my nails every three or four days, but since I've started to go to Aqua Fitness classes at least two or three times a week, my manis suffer a lot due to the chlorine in the water and I've started to change them every two days.
I change mine every 2-3 days. By then they usually start chipping anyway and I'm so conscious of all the untried polishes sitting in my wardrobe, that I feel like I need to constantly change them. Sometimes I just update my mani with something like the chevrons I did the other day.
Hi Fuzzy! I hope it's cooler at your place now! And what do you do on Specktra at 4AM? Do you suffer from insomnia? I've started to sleep really bad during the last weeks - it's been hot, and the stupid worldcup makes everyone stay up and watch the games outside. Hate it. Loads of drunken people on 1am in front of my window - argh!
You know, I seldom wear greens. Clothes, MU, nails - nearly never. But you often wear those muddy greens that go into that 'pretty fugly' territory and look so good in them!
That's too bad that you can't read. I hope that's getting better! But knitting is good too! I also like gardening a lot. And things like baking calms me down too - anything that makes me use my hands more and my head less!
Yes, I got two of the IBs with flakies. I've a thing for flakies and holos right now.
OMG Blonde Ambition is incredible! Gorgeous! Strangely, the hairspray also makes my tc look weird. Did anyone experience that?
Thank you Fuzzy! I like it too!
Beautiful FFs! Underlight looks beautiful.
Thank you! It's just trial and error with stamping, I guess. Like MRV said try filing down the stamper a bit. With stamping plates I guess it's a bit of what you pay is what you get - I got some cheap ones as well, those didn't work well and then I got some MoYous and those made all the difference!
Try some Ccadillacquers some day. She really makes some very elegant polishes - they're never in your face, but quite understated and lovely. And Madeleine is such a nice lady!
The pic really shows a nice polish, nothing looks patchy! Did you try the Jindie already? I can remember that kimibos was so annoyed with One trick Pony because the formula wasn't really good.
I got some though I'm really broke this month because it's my and the hubby's birthday in three weeks and I got some gifts.
Maybe it's similar to one of the Girly Bits multichromes? Did you use your mobile to take the pics? If so, amazing! I'm always having the hardest time to convince my mobile camera to pick of the true colours of my nps!
I was also thinking it could be one of the Liquid Sky Lacquer multichromes as well. There are so many multichromes around, hard to remember which is which, lol.
Sorry for replying so late! I vastly prefer the PP Revolution. I only have the Essence version of the peel-off coat (a lot of companies do it), and it doesn't work very well for me. I always feel that in the time I'm scraping off polish of my nails I could've used np remover and that would've been as fast - or slow. It never peels off in chunks for me but in tiny flakes.
I've got the Nail Pattern Boldness peel off base coat which just randomly peels off, so removal is really not an issue with that. However, trying to keep the polish on my nails is!
Get well soon MRV!!! Some strawberries (Vitamin C!) might do the trick! Also, icecream.
Oh, please report when you get the Serum No. 5! I'm so curious about that one.
Lovely manis as always. The purple one is right up my alley!
Will do. I'm a little uncertain how it will look on its own with no topcoat (that's how you're supposed to wear it) and in daylight, since the big thing about it is how it looks when you take pictures with flash. Obviously I won't be walking around with a flashlight above my nails at all times, lol.
I got Blue Steel, Admire Me and Bottle Service.
I caved in and ordered 6 bottles too, 3 of which are the ones you ordered, plus PT78, AC Slater and Amanda Hugginkiss.
Thanks a lot for this! Very interesting.

Thanks, Fuzzy! I hope you can get back on painting soon. We have no change yet.
Both manis look really nice! Love the glitter on the first one. It was probably the Inc that chipped. They have lovely colours but I think they chip even on me. Can't wait to wear Coppers! I have not heard anything from EP yet.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!
I'm afraid I don't know these polishes.
Thank you, ChosenOne! Yes, it's just a glitter TC!
Lovely! I have this one, too. And looks like I have worn it. I got three more polishes from them on Monday (I think I'll wear something from them next). I have not ordered anything from the latest collection yet. Did you try to get some of very limited ones? I think it's rather hopeless given the time.Finally managed to get (lots of) pics of my new mani! This week I've gone for Elevation Polish, Pic de Subenuix:
Nice haul! I have most of them, too.Also, new polishes for this week:

Nice of you to pop in, Anneri! I change three times a week. I thought that on holiday I'd do it every other day but I have this rythm with other things so it's easier to stick with it. Bet you did not sleep last night at all! Personally I have zero interest in football but I hear the news of course. The flu and the heat are giving me a hard time during the night though. Yes, I love greens! And yesterday I actually started to read again a book that I bought when Mac Heavenly Creatutes came out (it's called Remarcable Creatutes) and it has travelled with me all over but I never got to read it. I took my laptop to be repared and though I could now sit on the balcony and read. You are absolutely correct. Manual hobbies are even good for your health. I'm also a crazy but lazy indoor and balcony gardener. Thanks! I did not notice anything weird when using hairspray and TC together. I think it was a different pony? (Not Jindie) I don't have any GBs either. Yes, just my 3G. It takes better pics than my newer Nokia. Thanks, unfortunately I'm not feeling better yet. Time to take more drastic measures and more strawberries of course. Ice Cream is a really good idea, too! What is this Serum 5 you're talking about? I have not ordered anything from ILNP. I just ordered from them last week (a few from the Summer Collection finally) as they gave me 25% off.That EP is incredibly lovely.

Yes, it was a different pony, it was the Crows Toes pony!

Right, I'd best go and get something done before I have to pick up from school. On that note, my daughter's been going to a different school since Monday last week and she seems happy there, so fingers crossed it will stay like this.
