Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Always interesting to try something new, good job! Manis with big glitter polish always take me forever, there's a lot of dabbing and poking and waiting for things to dry involved.

this one from xmas took approximately 10000 hours lol

(KbShimmer Snow Flaking Way! over CbL Grape Juice)

more later!

Lol, at least it was worth investing your time - it's just stunning.

Thanks! I got KbShimmer Flake Dance, PP Never Nude and Nail Envy from the Harlow post-holiday sale and PP Holiday 2014 from NailPolishCanada

On to the manis: My New Years mani: Nfu Oh 54 over OPI Incognito in Sausalito

Picture polish O'Hara

It's pinker than I hoped... Oh well CbL Beat It with KbShimmer Flake Dance accent. Exciting shots of elusive right hand! Lol

Wow my hands are dry lol It's been very cold most days and there isn't any snow at all! Boo.

A couple more orders arrived today:


Secret (H), Evening Gown, Galaxy (H), Starry Night of the Summer, Anna, Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

Plus I got these two Miss Sporty glitter toppers from Superdrug:



My newest mani, China Glaze 108 Degrees topped wiyh KBShimmer Rush Flower Traffic:





I had the opposite problem with this, too many glitters came out at once and clumped up at the tips. But it's nice anyway.

Hi Fuzzy!

Lovely manis and a nice little haul!

Posting a few pics:

Elevation Kilauea (looks kind of pinky in the bottle but red on me) and OPI Today I Accoplished Zero (this was rather nice, the glitter shows irl)



A England Dancing with Nureyev (with Mentality Purple Opaque)

Very nice! I especially like the second one. But I do love the name of that OPI! Some days I feel like that.

Oo, pretty! I especially like the first two manis!

Two lovely manis, very nice indeed. The first two colours look lovely together, and as ever your stamping in the second leaves me envious!

 

[PearlyQueen]

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.

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!

A quick mani post again: Elevation Arabic Sea 2

, Elevation Tre Cime di Lavaredo, and Enchanted Amazing which does not photograph at all; it's such a sparkly foily glitter. A funny thing happened this morning. I noticed something turquoise on the floor - "what's that?". It was my right hand ring nail polish (Amazing) up side down.

That's odd. But pretty mani anyway.

I have lots to show you. 3 of my orders came, 2 of them from MeiMei, including my Takkos. I did notice that she charged $50 for shipping and the actual postage on the box was just over $30, so I e-mailed her and asked for a refund. I don't mind paying a few extra $s, but $20 is just pushing it! She did refund me which is good.


2015, Lights Out, You've Been Served - these were the only polishes from the CbL 2015 collection that I fancied the look of.


Wynwood Walls, Wooster St., Surrealistic (these 3 are flakies), Createur, Dazed & Confused




Chesire Cat, Absinthe, Curiouser & Curiouser, Jabberwocky




Alchemist, Diamonds & Tulle, Fullmetal, Lavender Macaron, Physical Graffiti




Pretty 2.0, The Cat is Mad, Fat Belly, Love Bytes, Into the Wild, Dreamcatcher

Finally, my recent mani. Not really happy with this, the FF glitter was too gloopy and the colours didn't work together, plus the stamping didn't come out great. The base is China Glaze Swanky Silk and the glitter is Femme Fatale Lunar Halo.

OMG, I want the one on your middle finger! So pretty!

My newest mani, China Glaze Coconut Kiss with CG Marry a Millionaire on the accents. I'm happy with this one (except for the small chip on my thumb).

 

[Anitacska]

MRV, look what I've found on Instagram!



Looks suspiciously like your mani, just the background is different. What do you think?
Edit: I've worked it out now! Check your Instagram!

Well I just realised I haven't posted on this thread since before Christmas! I've been reading along and enjoying everyone's lovely manis and hauls though. The cold weather has been destroying my cuticles, I need to give them some more intensive care. I ended up having bare nails for most of the Christmas break. Went away with family, and just ran out of time to do it before I went. I'd planned a sparkly mani for New Year's Eve that I ended up doing on Jan 1st, so I toned it down a bit and just put the glitter on an accent nail instead of all of them!

Rimmel Gold Save the Queen & Barry M Starlight Since then I've just been changing my mani once a week.

ILNP Black Orchid (pre cleanup!)

A-England Excalibur. This went with the silver shoes I wore to a black tie dinner (toes were Essie Ignite the Night, dress was black & red)

A-England Fotheringhay Castle. Speaking of which, I ended up receiving two of these for Christmas, so I have a spare. If any of the UK girls would like it, drop me a PM! (If you have something to swap for, even better )

Oh, wow! I have a few likes from some indie brands which I'm always astonished by, but now I'm an international mani model!

Thank you, Anitacska!

Such lovely manis, Black Orchid is gorgeous. I'd be interested in swapping for Fotheringhay Castle, I have a few duplicates, will PM you the list later.

The weird thing was it was credited to another user with a very similar name, so I was thinking that's not you! The mani was the same as you posted here, but the background was different. Then I did a bit of digging around and found your account.
