Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Woohoo, you got the tattoo pen I mentioned when I did my leaves mani! (I have a lot of the Essence things you got, not very surprising because Essence is sold here at every street corner and its headquarter is actually a few miles away from me.)

I rather fancy the Primark trio, let's see if I can find a moment to go there when it's not too terribly crowded!

Love your new Llarowes and the stamped mani!
Yes I did!

Here Essence is sold in Wilko (Wilkinson) stores, but the one in my town only has a very limited selection. Luckily the big one in Kingston has a lot more and I just kept going. At least they're not expensive, I think most of the nail art stuff was £2 or £3 each. Looking forward to trying them out.

Thank you. Can't wait for the other two CbLs to arrive.

Thanks, PQ. It's just my luck. Well, at least I wore it for a day.


Thanks, Anneri. I used an old Essie bottle. Maybe it was weakened somehow and/or just could not handle the mixing balls.

Very pretty! Love gold holo.


That's a nice rescue! Reminds me of another little bottle I should show you.


Pretty hauls! That Ultra Violet is really glowy.


You mean if anyone has received anything? I ordered only from EP but I don't think it's even shipped yet.

I got two (the silver-gold and gingerbread holos) and noticed they were quite expensive just the two (almost 30 Euros). That's why I did not get any of the new Crowstoes yesterday.

Thanks! Next time better luck I hope.


Here's the latest mani: CbL Sphynx (really pigmented, a subttle reddish-brown-golden holo) - and some Enchanted Flashing Lights.

Thanks MRV, the Ultra Violet is even more awesome in person, I was quite blown away by the intensity of it, which doesn't show at all in my pic. I'm awaiting EP too, with patience coz it's going to my US box! I checked my emails last week and it says allow up to 4 weeks for shipping, and it's just been 3 weeks today, so I can't get annoyed yet!
Love the colour of your mani, and the stripes are pretty. I didn't get that CbL, but now I'm wishing I had!

ZOYA minis so you can try a color and see if you like it plus you wont waste money that way since its just a little cute bottle of a shade.

Those are all lovely! I always like Zoyas when people post pics, but I only have one and haven't worn it! I think the sheer quantity of them puts me off obsessing about yet another brand, but I hope you get all the ones you want! Such vibrancy...

Current mani, OPI Plum & Get It with Esmaltes da Kelly Centauro on top. I actually got a compliment on it in a shop.



Previous mani, Colors by Llarowe Sizzling Liz. It's a bit like Voodoo, but blue based. Bit of a funny colour, but not too bad. Then I tried the festive palette and did a bit of stamping.







Onto my hauls. My RC order has finally arrived (she was holding it back because the Different Dimension/Nailsvinyl duo was missing the nail vinyls. (They are giraffe vinyls, not included in the photo).



I love CbL Chaos (3rd one from the left), I never realised it had holo microglitter as well. I thought it would be similar to the EP City Lights polishes. Just ordered the other two as well.

My Essence and Topshop haul. The Topshop polish was in a little ornament case, but I don't need that, so binned it.



I also got some nail art supplies (the nail art pen trio is from Primark).



Oh and I ordered some suspension base from Etsy (from a UK seller) that arrived yesterday, so as soon as I have some time and energy, I will mix up some frankens.
That's a pretty purple! I must admit, I'm not taken with Sizzlin' Liz - I do have it, and I wasn't impressed in the bottle either. Maybe it will be one of those you love when you see it on in the flesh! Pretty stamping though.
Some cool new things there too, especially the CbLs. I bought one of the dangerous trio to try out, and it's in my PO box right now, maybe I need to get the other 2 as well lol!

I was looking forward to seeing what she'd come up with, but these are not me at all :(

Hello ladies!

Nothing to report but I come bringing swatches of the new CBL flakies (which I should love, given that they combine two of my favourite things, but leave me completely unmoved):

I had quite a stressful weekend full of christmas preperations so I couldnt do my nails - will do so later today (hopefully)!
Yes, fairly disappointing for a Dr Who collection. There are a couple which appeal (The Master and Donna, which both look to have a coloured shimmer as well), but I'm far from blown away. I expect those two will make their way here soon though!

I agree, a lot of them seem very samey and not that interesting at all. I like about 3 or 4 of them. Also, did you see all the comments on the blog? I agree with most of them. The shades don't tie up with the characters (like why is Donna blue???), it seems like Llarowe isn't really a fan of the series and just wanted to make more money by naming them after DW characters. The other thing is, Sheila of Pointless Cafe is actually a paid employee of Llarowe, so her reviews count for nothing imo.

Ha, just got the release email and at £25 each I don't care if they come out ready stamped, she can keep them!


Ha! For sure!
It's always so perplexing for me when celebrities endorse/create an edition of MU and come up with the most unimaginable colours. A basic orange-red and an off-white for 25 quid?! O RLY?!

I agree with a lot of them too. Why is it Dr., not Doctor? And why is Vincent (one of my fave episodes ever) a basic black? And K-9 burgundy? And River blue? Just because of her name?! It's just puzzling. I like the Master and Donna too, but I guess the ILNP flakies will give those a runf for the money.

A quick mani post again: ILNP Mega and Cygnus Loop
You've become a really stamping expert MRV! Here's my latest mani that I copied from Pshiiit who did it last week and I fell in love with her design. It's a snow covered tree in front of a dark sky:
