Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

I had my nails done by a nailstylist during my trip in Sweden. The blue is one from Louboutin, the silver is from Ciaté and then I have minx on one nail. Cant remember the names of the polishes but wanted to share regardless!
Very chic indeed!

Nice haul. I'm waiting for my EP order to arrive to my US post box and then ship it over, I have a few things from Different Dimension, Indigo Bananas and EP in there.

What do you all think of the CbL new year collection? I'm really not impressed, it looks very samey. Might not get anything from it.

Sounds cool!
I must admit, there are a few of the new CbLs on my wishlist, I like it more than the Xmas collection.

Two manis: first DL #649 with ILNP Brilliance.



And two Isadora gel polishes, 228 Ocean Drive and 235 Midnight (a dark purple), à la Ruffian.

I haven't been in this thread in sooo long! A good thing for me since you all enabled me to buy more polish

A VERY sweet friend sent me a P&J polish for Christmas and I thought I'd share. The formula is awesome!! Now I have to go check out what other colors they have.

I've also been testing Sephora's nail system (prep, base & topcoat) and I'm impressed. My mani's last about 6 days before any noticeable chips. The only downside is that the top coat is really thick and I can see it getting unmanageable over time.. but there's no shrinkage like there is with Seche.

Pretty stamping, esp. with Hex Appeal!


Thanks, PQ!


Thank you! Oh, bummer.


That's a very pretty mani. I like the combo of matte and metallic.


Nice!


You're on a roll again!

Flakies look gorgeous! I can't make up my mind if I should go for them or not!

That looks lovely and shiny! Pretty shade too.

My midweek mani was Special FX Mirror in a lilac shade topped with Maybelline Plum Pretty:






My nails are so uneven that they look terrible with a 1-coat polish these days.

Hello Ladies! I've been so busy lately, haven't had time to pop in here. I've been reading, but never had enough time to write up a reply. Not that I have much to report, not a single new polish to show you!

Doesn't mean I haven't bought any, but they are all sitting in my US postbox and I've just placed an order for a few pretties at the F.U.N Lacquer restock.

I have a couple of manis to show you though. First is Indigo Bananas Endless Night over black. It's a nice duochrome holo.








The other one is Sally Hansen HD nail colour in Wavelength with some Ciate glitter that I put in the suspension base I got, but the colour leaked and it turned all orange. Luckily the SH polish is a pink/orange duochrome, so it looked okay. And also it's a tiny bottle, so not much of a waste.

Pretty colour! Have you tried using a ridge filling base coat? I love my Seche one, it's nearly all gone.

Just seen the new Models Own Colour Chrome polishes and I'm so getting them, they look perfect for stamping!

Thank you!


Thanks!


Very pretty and elegant!


That's a lovely colour!


I keep looking at the swatches of the CbL collection and nothing jumps out. They are nice, but I'm sure I already have similar polishes or they're just not interesting enough. Oh well, money saved.


Lovely manis once again!


That's a pretty shade. I only have one P&J polish and it's a flakie, in fact it's the same as Color Club Covered in Diamonds. Big shards in thick gloop.

Ooh, never thought of that, must buy one and see if it helps!
Those MOs look cute, but I must admit I'm not really fond of the brand (I had bubbling with the one I've worn, it put me off, though it may have just been my top coat's problem!).

Those are both pretty manis! Shame about your glitter, but it seems to work anyway!

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been MIA - I've been very boring, preoccupied with work and life stuff in general. I didn't get any np in January at all, and we've had horrible weather mostly so no use in wearing holos or duo/multichromes. Sad, really. The most exciting thing was that I cleaned out my mu and np storage and went through everything and tossed a few things.

I'm so behind on this thread - sorry about that. I've been reading, though I didn't comment on all the fab manis and hauls!

I'll post a few manis later and wanted to share the following link with you - multichrome flakies in a coloured base that I might more than ILNP's flakes? Glampolish makes similar ones I seem to recall and Polish Me Silly as well?

Hi, Anneri! I've been doing some major arranging and cleaning, too. Not much to toss away, but still. I saw those EdMs earlier, def. getting some.

Latest mani: ILNP Iconic and CT Milquetoast

Pretty mani, looks lovely on you, Honey! I love this colour, too, and I think the polishes from this particular collection were all great.

They have renewed their bottles but I have not got any of them yet so I don't know if they have made changes in the formula.


Thanks! You need just a few, not all.


Your mani looks like three different shades! Yes, do try a ridge filler, I use Essie's all the time (it's my BC).


That holo looks really nice. Glad you were able to save your mani with coordination, but it's odd that Ciate's glitter leaks.


Yeah, the CbL still look

Every time I see Iconic I think I should have got it! Lovely mani, they look good together.

Before I'll show you my last manis, I'm so excited because I made my first own holo! It's light blue with rainbow flakies:

Then here's a skittle mani with Catrice, Essie blanc and IB moonlight:

A little dotticure with some drugstore polishes - isn't the purple holo amazing? It was 1,95€. And a day where there was actually some sun!

I liked this combo of dark blue and topcoat with golden shimmer so much!

And blue again with some added dots (Essie penny talk):

Some sponged Essie polishes with added studs (so strange that they're all from the holiday LE - they're so spring-y!)
9bfe8481_image.jpeg
And Essie blanc, some blue polish, acetone and a water decal:

Phew! Congrats if you made it through this post! :D
