Thank you PQ! I also got Admire Me and Blue Steel. I did my nails with Admire Me today and am disappointed again. I don't know, I really dislike the formula and the holo is so weak!I prefer Twilight Peacock too, but this is very pretty! Acid Ocean looks beautiful, I've ordered Reign but now I'm wishing I'd gone for AO as well! So sorry to hear about your ILNPs, that's one of the very few I didn't go for from that collection, I'm not big on silver polish, somehow it just doesn't suit me. (Weirdly I love gold polish, but only wear silver jewellery!) It certainly doesn't look anything special in your pic, no wonder you were disappointed. What else did you get? By the way I adore that Kiko, a proper Cadbury purple, just stunning, and I like your nail art with it too.
Thank you MRV! Yes, that's 473. Kiko should really come up with names for their polishes! I love this manis. I'm totally into blues of all kinds right now.Thank you, PQ. I don't know what happened but by 24 hrs my right hand nails were all crackled! They did not chip though (apart from a tiny one) until the next day, by the time my left hand nails were also crackled! :shock: I dunno. Maybe it was just the heavy layers? Can't be my new matte TC (It's PP g'day matte!). We are waiting to see the Mishka on you! This one looks nice! I love metallic holos. We've had just a terrible weather! First 5 days +30 C minimum, then two +29 C! Today's the same but finally we should get some rain! During this time I have not seen any rain or thunders, they skipped us even yesterday. We should have three cooler days coming but then it's this :hot: again all next week! I will look into my stash for the pinks. Lovely manis again! The drugstore and Kiko ones especially. Is that 473? (I got 472 and 474). You managed to do fine saving your ILNP mani. I think I have one silvery from them - yes, MEGA. It lived more up to it's name. My new mani is Elevation Puncak Jaya with Yeti's Oceanside Vacation. PJ' s formula was just mg: creamy!
I absolutely love those two colours together. It has some kind of 70s summer vibe! Love!Thanks, PQ! The green glitter is a texture polish (on it's own here) so it does look a bit different... I saw these irl a few weeks ago but did not get any more excited than when I learned about them. They may work with Mac polishes and other cremes but I'm not really interested in this kind of toppers when there are better "real" polishes. The texture one is almost like crinkled plastic on your nail! :lol: Thank you for the swatches though! Good to have them in our swatch library. I might get a few but thankfully most of the new fall shades I've seen are not tempting me. In the spring I had this 'coral on coral' mani with some spring Essies. This was supposed to be kind of a more saturated summer version but the stamping did not quite work. Anyways, it's Essie Roarrrrange and Fierce, No Fear.
I totally agree with that!Another flawless mani MRV, you do such a fantastic job! And wear such different colours from me - really makes me think about expanding, that brown is deliciously different to anything I have.
I really hope that things are getting better soon for you and your family. I'm crossing my fingers that life will be a bit easier soon! Take care of yourself!Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for your kind words. Things aren't any better here, some days are better than others, but on the whole, nothing's changed. Very upsetting. We have an appointment with the children's mental health services on Thursday, my husband will be going to it as there is no way we can drag my daughter there, she's still saying noone can help her and doesn't want us to get help. I haven't got much faith in what they can do for us this way, but we'll see what they say. In the meantime we're trying to cope with each day as it comes. It's very hard for my other two as well, they'd missed out on our holiday (we were going to go to Portugal, but there was no way we could risk it) and they are both struggling with the situation. My husband is off work this week, but back next week, so I'm fully expecting to be stuck at home all week. Not how we wanted our summer holiday to be spent, but what can you do? Anyway, thanks again for your kind wishes. Love to you all. xxx
That's good news! I like both purples, truth to be told!Just thought I'd update you - Carolyn at LSL came back to me and categorically stated that this polish is definitely NOT Walk on the Wild Side! She thinks it's been mis-labelled and has said she'll send me a replacement bottle, which is awesome considering I said I didn't expect any action about a polish bought a while ago from a third party stockist. I've sent my address, so hopefully I'll have the real deal on the way soon! I hope she realised when I emailed her that I'm in the UK!
I hope it's cooler now, MRV! We had some hot and always quite humid days, but thankfully it cools down a bit during the night. It's not as bad as last year, thankfully! I spent my and the hubby's birthday weekend in the blackforest and Lake Como, Italy. We had some nice days. I had absolutely no time to do my nails - luckily I did my birthday mani before we left and it held up really good! I did some confetti nails aka dotticure. Very easy, but quite time consuming! I saw that MeiMei had an Enchanted Restock last week, but I was to late. That would've been a nice birthday present! Right now I'm thinking about ordering some polishes during her sale, but I can't make up my mind yet. Now, manis!I'm sorry to hear this and hoping for a turn for the better for you all! :hug: Thank you, PQ! Browns are actually quite nice. I prefer warm browns but this one is a nice taupe (it's lighter irl). That mislabeling is such a bummer but nice to hear you're getting the right one. Once I received a mislabeled FF from a stockist, too. I found a pic here: I noticed right away that hey I already have this polish (Abracadaver). Sea Pony is a brighter purple with brighter glitters. I contacted FF and told them about it and they said it's def. mislabeled. In the end I got the correct polish from the stockist. ATM I'm wearing two P&J polishes, 014 Confetti and 015 Venus. This looks rather springy or even winterly but they are from summer 2011. :hot: I'm dying here. On Monday we had +32.6 C, yesterday almost as much, and I was just thinking "feels cooler" and it's +30 C again! :thud: Today should be the last day over +30 C though. It's not funny any more as it's been super hot for weeks!
