Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Time for my new manis. First up is ILNP Mutagen (H) with Models Own Chrome Silver as the base for the fishscales.







Next is CbL Connie You Saucy Minx and EdM You Saved My Life with square glitter from Poundland.







Whoa, that is a scary picture of my thumb! Connie is way more purple irl and the EdM has a slight holo to it, but it gets lost under the glitter.

Love that stamped design! Mutagen looks nice too! And Connie looks lovely, works well with the pinky glittery accents.

Thank you. It's not stamping actually, it's nail vinyls.

Anyone seen the new EPs yet? (January and February mysteries) I don't want to post pictures here if you don't want it spoilt, but I can PM people with some from the FB spoilers group. Let me know.

Saw these Smith & Cult polishes on Neiman Marcus' website this morning. Has anyone tried them?

No, please PM me the pics!

Double NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! !

But I'm getting a few (maybe not again from the pre-sale but later). That purple for sure, hoping to avoid the pastels, but I might grab a few of those holo flakies (the ones I don't have in flakies).


Thanks, Honi. I saw that but I'm using Paypal as Anitacska.


Thanks! Insipid is really nice, different from the ILNP flakies as it is a multicoloured flakie (you see the different colours at the same time) plus the shift.


Me too!


I'm trying not to get these unless they are ultra shiny and metallic

!


Yay!

It must have been the thickness.


Thank you! Is there a "me"?

Yes, TC can make wonders.


Mutagen mani's so pretty! Love the vinyl print. And the second one's nice, too. I think I don't have Connie, just her neighbour!

Very pretty! I've seen the spring Isadoras here, but I just ordered a few more spring CGs, so maybe not getting these.


No, please PM me the pics!

PM'ed you!

Some really pretty ones there - those exclusive Lilypads look lovely, I wasn't tempted but they appear nicer than I expected! I only have Maddy's Magenta of those, and it's really pretty!

Very summery, and the pattern works lovely! I could never wear that yellow mind you - and I definitely couldn't do that lace effect! Well done, very talented.

I did see swatches, I like them!

I don't know them at all - pretty bottles though!

There is definitely a "you"!

There are some nice shades.

I like them too, but to me they're a bit samey. I sent MRV some comparison swatches and you can barely see the difference between February and a couple of other polishes. But I'm guessing January is very "you".

Well, after using Don't Pretzel My Buttons last week, I decided to stick with the OPI Germany collection and wear Did You Ear About Van Gogh today. Here is a quick pic before cleanup

 

[Anitacska]

New mani, WingDust These Broken Wings. It's really pretty, but took 4 coats and is a bit uneven due to the iridescent thicker flakies in it. But it dried quickly and it is very nice.

 

[Anitacska]

Just saw this on Instagram. More flakies. Hmm, I think she's a bit late to the flakie game.
