Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Gelli Fied]

Do many other people here use gel polish? This is my last manicure, NaiLuv "Not So Innocent" (It's really boring... I recently started school, haha)



A little before that I used China Glaze Gelaze "Orange Knockout"...




But I love other "salon" and "home" brands, too! OPI Gelcolor, Gelish, Red Carpet Manicure, etc...

Fierce orange! I have never tried gel polishes.


New mani's Lilypad Teal Pearl with KBS Hexy Bikini

Thanks! It's a light copper, golden copper (did not show well in the pic).


Kintsukuroi? Is there a Japanese collection? Funny looking bottles those round ones, all unknown to me.


Mermaid D is so lovely!

This is so pretty!

I only realised last night in the bathroom that Mermaid's Dream is also duochrome! Love it.

Cheeky little TK Maxx haul

Nice little haul!

I haven't received anything lately, although I have ordered a lot. My EP orders have been dispatched (both from Chelsea and Mei Mei), I also placed another order with Mei Mei for a couple of other polishes, and I have 2 outstanding Lllarowe orders, one going to my US address, one I decided to have sent here.

My current mani, Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream, hadn't worn it before, but really love it! I've worn the pink one before, but wasn't too crazy about it with my skintone, but this is perfect!

I really like Mermaid's Dream, DL is another brand I have not bought, but I've seen this one a couple of times and I always like it.

Nice manicures! I had a professional gel job a few years ago (as a gift from my sister in law) and although I loved it, after about 3 weeks I was soooo bored with the design (sort of abstract animal print)! And it lasted 3 months, eventually my nails were so long I couldn't do anything - especially operate the fingerprint scanner to get into the office! So I've never gone gel again...

Hi MRV, I don't recall there being a whole Japanese collection on Carpe Noctem's site, just this one - I did just try to check for you, but she's down for a few days so I couldn't.
Teal Pearl is so nice, I loved wearing it a while back (and my US box has a few more Lilypad pearls in it...!). That glitter works really well with it too.

Oooo, shiny! Which ones are those, I like them!

My new mani is Darling Diva Bella Donna:








I just love it! If you're looking for an in-yer-face violet holo, get this now!!! In the bottle I was thinking 3 or 4 coats, but this is one thin and one thick plus topcoat. The holo is awesome, and shows in most lighting conditions, though obviously at its best in halogens/sun. It often only shows the blue in other lighting conditions, which is really pretty too. And in some lights the base is almost neon! Dried quickly - and the bottom pic in sun is after 3 1/2 days of wearing it, not even a glimmer of tipwear which is really unusual with such a strong colour.
Seriously, highly recommended!

Anyone going for the new Indigo Bananas collection?
They're soooo pretty, I so wish I could afford to, I'd take almost all of them!

I have and I like them, but they're not that unique, so probably won't get any.

Today's mani, Orly Unlawful (a gorgeous slightly jelly like red cream) topped with Revlon Graffiti top coat.



And just for fun, here's my DDP wishlist, lol.





Yep, $159.25.

If it helps......
code SHIPINTER will give you free international shipping on orders over $75.....
My wishlist has 8 items on it @ about $91 with free shipping!!! Including a few of the new collection plus a few others I skipped last time.
It's at the top of my list when I have the money!
By the way, Sassy Ass Mouth is one of the prettiest polishes I have ever taken out of bubble wrap, I hate the name but OMG it's soooo pretty.

 

[PearlyQueen]

They are Liverpool Street, Regents Park, Britten Street.


This is really pretty, I never got it. Have you seen the new ones she's got, like the WtchEE collection? There's quite a few I'd really like, but trying to be good. I'm so frustrated with this constant need of buying new polish, yet I have so many I haven't even used and at this rate never will.

Thanks for that! I know exactly what you mean about buying without wearing, and I keep telling myself off but there's always something new around the corner. This forum has actually pushed it home to me, because I post a pic of this week's single mani, and then a pic of this week's deliveries, and there are always so many more newbies than there are manis, my untried list is longer than my legs! (And getting longer, unlike my legs!)
This week was a great example, I felt there weren't really many new polishes - but three is still more than I've worn! Then I looked at Bella Donna and thought that it was sooo perfect that every other violet holo on my list could be removed - brilliant! It got smaller! Then I added more Darling Divas, since I loved it so much. There were more DDs than there were violets, so overall the wishlist got bigger instead of smaller! Then I looked at the IB launch, and immediately 6 of them went on the list. So now it's even bigger! Maybe I should get into skittles manis and use 10 at a time... but I'm a bit too OCD for that! Grrrrrr!

Oh yes, I'd completely forgotten about the free shipping code! Thank you! I'm not going to order just yet, I've spent way too much this month already, but will probably get these eventually. (Despite what I've just said above, lol.)

By the way, Takko are mostly in stock at http://femmefatalecosmetics.com.au/product-category/takko-lacquer/
Anyone interested should get 'em while they're hot!!! Beware import duties though...

ETA: She's just said on Facebook that she does quote lower order values to help with import duties, so maybe that's a problem from the past, I know I paid loads on my first order from them!

Do you know, I still don't see the big attraction. They look nice, but nothing special to me.

Not to mention they seem quite costly to begin with.
