Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Okay, prepare for an EP spam. I took loads of pictures of August as it looks teal/green with flash, but it's also blue and purple, gorgeous! October is nicer than I thought, it's still my least favourite, but pretty unique.

Two stunning, bit less sure of October... Mine just landed in my US box, so it will be ages before I get them.

Lol, I was right - everyone does have Black Orchid! Lovely haul, enjoy wearing them!

I resisted...

and got some lovely boots instead. Because you know, winter *is* coming!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Nope, I don't have it too! But I *have* to have Haleakela. And some of the other Hawaiian polishes she made.


They're just tcs, right?
I find it very funny that every indie brand comes out with a variation of them now. My fb was full of them this morning. Polish me Silly, Indigo Bananas, Darling Diva...
And even Glitter Unique will carry them soon, so maybe I'll just get some of the flakies and put them into polish myself. Should be fun!

I think ILNP are saying theirs are full coverage with 3 coats, if I read it right. Lilypad have some coming next week too I think.. I'm most tempted by the ILNP ones, but the PMS ones are looking nice in the bottles I've seen. I bet I end up with at least one soon from somewhere!

Yes, the ILNP ones are different, not the same as the regular flakies. I can't wait to get mine. I had a delivery today, the four indie polishes I bought from eBay. They are all really pretty. Plus my new (vintage) Meteorites came today and they're so pretty! They came in a massive Guerlain gift box that will come in very handy for storing stuff. If only I had somewhere to store the box, hahaha!

This week's mani was Pretty Jelly Aphrodite:







It's a pretty pink/copper duochrome with subtle scattered holo.

And for anyone interested, we've added to our furry family - meet Ozzy:

Aaw, he's a cutie! Looks a lot like our Midnight. How many cats do you have?

I also have that polish, it's very pretty.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Thank you!



Hahaha, yes, we all ordered pretty much the same polishes!


Which one did you miss, Connie's Saucy Brother? That was the first to go on RC. I got it luckily plus another 4.


Well done, Anneri! I also bought some boots, they're not pretty though, I needed some sturdy ones for dog walking, our local park has turned into a swamp with all the rain we've had.

I've had a look at the IB and PMS flakies and they are very pretty, sorry, I thought they were "regular" flakies. The DD ones are though,aren't they? By regular I mean the seethrough ones you need to wear over darker colours. The ILNP ones look great on top of light colours too.


Ooh, yes, the Lilypad ones are pretty too. And she's opening her shop on the 21st!


Aaw, he's a cutie! Looks a lot like our Midnight. How many cats do you have?

I also have that polish, it's very pretty.

Ozzy takes us back up to 2 cats. The LE I missed was Shimmer Me Timbers

Aah, okay, sorry about that. It is very pretty. But I'm sure Harlow will stock it soon as well.

 

[Anitacska]

I've got a couple of manis to show you. First is Sally Hansen White Diamond over black. It's a nice purple to green duochrome, but not unique.



My current mani is Accessorize Purple Dream. This is gorgeous, purple to dark pink duochrome with shimmer.





And finally, my eBay order.


Golden Glory, I Only Want What's Lime, I'm the Ghost With the Most, Babe and Feelings, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

EP Holiday pic is on her instagram now:

Can't copy and paste it.
Not sure I like it either.

 

[Anneri]

Here's a pic of it. What is that colour? Green? I always wish that people would include a pic of the polish in the shade so we can see the base colour better.

I had weak nails for the longest time although I tried so many nail hardeners! The big change came when I started to take care properly of my cuticles. Once a week, I use a cuticle remover gel and never ever cut them! Just push them back. After removing my polish, I always wash my hands thoroughly and slather them with Lush's Lemony Flutter. I let that sink in for about 5 mins, massage the residue into the skin and do my mani. And that's it!

Hi Anneri. How are you feeling????
It looks like we're all on board w/pushing cuticles and not cutting them. I've recently started taking Hair, Skin &
Nails Vitamins and my nails are harder and healthier than they've been in years. Call me crazy but I swear that it's because of the health of my nails---namely the hardness, my NP is staying on longer. I don't know how that 's
possible but that 's my observation. I'm going to look into LLF---my hands tend to get dry in this cold weather.

Yeah, it's green, but there seems to be some blue and brown to it as well. I quite like it and will get it, but she sure does have a thing for green, doesn't she? The entire Time to Pretend collection is green(ish) and there's been quite a few other greens lately. I hope Nov and Dec are nice bright colours, maybe multichrome holos, or perhaps something like August but in pink/purple. We shall see.

I like it, too. But I don't think she has put out much greens this year so I'm glad to see them.

 

[Anitacska]

I've ordered all 3 EPs too. Now the waiting begins....

Would be interesting to know how many of these she has to make. Bet it's hundreds.

Not much else to report, about to do my nails with Zoya Charla, another of my older untrieds. Next week I'm back to some untried indies.

Of course I bought all 3 too, I'm sure I can offload Holiday if I don't like it!

Must be. And it surely is a bigger figure than when she just has a release.

I had a mani night last night, too. I put on DD Space Beetle (reminds me of Lilypad Pearls) and some green stamping which does not show in the pic because it's a bit transparent.

It looks very cool! I love Space Beetle. It was my first DD polish and pretty much my first indie polish as well. Or one of the first anyway.

Nice! Space Beetle was one of my early Indies too - but I still haven't worn it! I really like it with the green over it.

My new mani is Glitter Gal Furnace Glow:








Anyone else thinking Tequila Sunrise? It was much more opaque and brighter than I expected, and the duochrome works beautifully.
