Nice dusty blue!


Recent manis: AE Fated Prince. I don't wear a lot of dark polishes but this one was rather nice with the holo. Last week I received three stamping plates and two stamping polishes from Moyou. I tried out the copper polish here but it's not bright at all (< they seem to be jelly-ish/sheer), so you can hardly see it.



Ok, this is EP Good Life. It's actually more golden than bronzy. Very metallic, more of a frost than a regular holo (it's made of super fine holo/metallic glitter I think). And I had to shorthen my nails

as my left pointer cracked.



PQ, I also received Flashing Lights, and I can verify that it's just glitter, although rather fine glitter.

I've had some bad staining but that tops them all! Too bad, the polish itself looks nice. Love the other two manis! I need to wear those CrowsToes, too.

Nice to hear things are looking better for you. Your little puppy looks so cute!

Pretty stamping, but a bit too subtle probably! Good Life looks really pretty on you, hopefully I'll carry it that well.
Flashing Lights keeps calling me but I DON'T NEED MORE GOLD GLITTER!!! Good to know I can rule it out (obviously unless a bargain bottle falls my way!!!), I've been looking and looking at pics because it's soooo blingy it screams at me! Really pretty, I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

I was playing with nail art this weekend, not altogether successfully! I won't be giving up the day job!
My updated mani:











Polishes are The Devil Wears Polish - The Big Bang Theory (purple), Jade - Hypnose (blue), Jade - Deja Vu (pink)

Sadly, an accident with some food colouring destroyed this mani before I had a chance to test drive it properly!

Hello there! I've had a horrible week, so I was kinda awol here. MRV, Thanks for posting the new EPs! I like the copper/gold one a lot. What do you think? Is it worth it? I also like your mani a lot. Anitacska, OMG - that staining!!! Did you email the manufacturer? PearlyQueen, I really like your nailart! Holo on holo can look really good! And oh yeah, Doctor Who was awesome! Highlight of my week, really. Or maybe it was today when hubby brought in today's Mail and I finally got my EP from Pshiiit! Really, I don't know why it took 10 days for a distance I could Cover in three hours by train! I tried to post pics, but specktra doesn't cooperates with me right now.

Pretty polish! And your manis are as impeccable as always - I like the leather texture one, which is unlike me! I did buy a Leather finish (Claire's Red - was on sale) and I'm looking forward to trying it now I've seen yours. I have to agree about the pale pink not really flattering you, which is a shame because it's a really pretty mani otherwise. The Glam is gorgeous, it's a brand I really have to explore. And I'd never have spotted those umbrellas if you hadn't pointed them out!
Re Polish Alcoholic, firstly my apologies, it's Furcifer Holo not Bradypodion - I was undecided which one to go for, now the collection is disappearing fast so I won't be able to get them all if I do like this one, though I have a few more to arrive... And my tiny brain misremembered which one it was when I was posting! I will for sure let you know what I think when I wear it. In the bottle it reminds me very much of the Darling Diva Queen collection, very lightly pigmented and greyed out at first look, though the holo helps. On my colour sheet it really is very sheer looking, I suspect a 4-coater or needs undies (again like the Queen collection). We shall see, but it didn't wow me when I opened it.

You have an impressive weekly score! And very versatile this week. This made me count my yearly figure (for 2014). It's

Nice you hear you finally received the French snail mail! I like the leather texture, and the girly mani's cute. Also the umberellas look really nice.
I need to do more stamping, too. I think I need a new stamper (you just ordered from Moyou!

), a rectangular one. It might be a bit better for my rather curvy nails. It's a bit difficult to spread out a stamp on them sometimes.

Thanks, PQ. Well, I tried it on a little:



This is a new Isadora, Autumn Leaves (great formula & brush) with EP Flashing Lights. FL is just a regular golden holo glitter. I did not move it yet to "used" drawer but I will do something else with it later on.


That's very playful! I have though of combining holos, but never done it. Hmmm....


Hi, Anneri! Hope you're doing better! If you like very metallic, foily golden polishes, I think it's worth it. At least it's more interesting than FL. I did not feel it was really a holo though, but very flashy nevertheless.


Roz is lovely! And your sneaky photobomber!

I adore your Isadora/EP mani, I have to keep telling myself I DON'T NEED MORE GLiTTER!!!!! It looks sooo pretty on your mani, and I love the base colour too. Stunning. And some pretty blue shades from PP too, enjoy!

What colour is Amazing? I couldn't find that out when I googled it.

Maaaaaaaaybe I'll try for Good Life and Flashing Lights. MRV's mani with it is so pretty!

Speaking of pretty manis, MRV was it an Isadora polish as well (a gel type polish maybe?) that you were impressed with a while back because of it's longevity? (Is that the right word?!) I'm looking for something I can wear during my honeymoon (only twenty days to go now!!!) that is quite durable because of sun, sand and pool water.

I think Amazing is the silver version of Flashing Lights Anneri. It's definitely silver and part of the collection.

Thanks! I can't put my finger on which polish you mean now. I don't remember wearing any polishes for a longer time recently. Can you give any details?

Thank you, PQ! I think golden glitter goes very well with this kind of dark reddish polish. I did this mani in September last year:

http://www.specktra.net/g/i/213381/a/183246/nail-polish-discussion-any-brand/sort/display_order/

It's EP Toubkal (I just read it's their most popular polish) and AE She Walks in Beauty.

Thanks, I will!


TY! My main target is the exclusives, and maybe Dark Fantacy depending on my luck. I could not remember either what Amazing was! I will most likely skip it.

I *think* it was a coral/orange polish with a gel type finish. I seem to remember that it was Isadora, but maybe it was Honi and not you who posted about it? I think we three are the only ones who can get Isadora.
