Ah, thanks for that!
Yes, I'll definitely keep you in mind. Would you mind it without the box though?

Today's mani is an oldie from the other day's picture, Layla Jade Groove with EP Seven Nation Army on the accents. The Layla polish was an absolute stinker to apply, took 4 coats, it was just pulling so much, even after 3 coats it had bald spots. It's also been chipping already. Meh. Very nice colour and gorgeous holo though, but my indie holo polishes are so much better. I quite like 7NA, but it did dull the holo somewhat.

No, I wouldn't mind. But I checked rekhyt's great pics in this thread and I think it's too close in base colour to CBL Young Turks which I also like a lot more because the holo effect is stronger! Sorry about that.
I also decided to skip the Glam Polish international sale on Sunday. I just hate when companies make you jump through all kinds of hoops and the shipping fees are simply ridiculous, especially as it's automatically shipped insured with tracking which means after my experiences with FF from Australia that I'll have to pay taxes on this as well, no matter how she declares it. So sorry about this! I'd loved to get the Rainbow flakies, but with the weak Euro on top of it at the moment? Not fun.

That's okay, I'm sure I'll have no problem selling it on eBay.
Also, don't worry about the Glam restock, I was in two minds about it too. Although I would love to get the Oh Em Gee trio, I will live if I can't. It might not be too limited and when the Stackry shipping is sorted, I might be able to get it. The shipping is very high and the taxes are not fun. And to be honest, with the size of my stash, I probably wouldn't even get around to wearing for the next 5 years, hahaha!

You know, with all these ultra limited editions I always think that we'll see something later that's only slightly different from the original. Or maybe I live in hope.

Hey ladies! What base and top coat do you all love to use? I love my ILNP shades, and they are beautiful on. However Cygnus Loop chipped after less than 48hrs of wear, and I wasn't any harder on my nails than I usually am. I also tried the gaia flaky polish over an essie polish and it's already got chips within a day. I'm not applying overly thick coats and I'm careful to make sure each coat dries before applying the next. :/ Any tips?

At the moment I'm using OPI Nail Envy as a base coat and either Sally Hansen's Instadry or the Essence t/c Anitacska posted above. A lot of us here use HK Girl, but also a lot of us change manis quite often after a day or two! Chipping never bothers me for that reason. Hth?

I use an Orly base coat (looking for a better one ie more protective) and the Avon UV gloss guard which is pretty good. I don't get chips at all with that combo. Sounds like fast food lol But with most of the OPI formulas I don't get chips even without a topcoat, even after a work week

Everything chips on me within 2 days, so I just change my polish then, to be honest I've yet to find a long wearing polish or top coat. Well, we shall see about the Essence one anyway...

To be honest I already have a Glam polish (one of the Mei Mei exclusives) that's similar to Oh which is really the only polish I love from the trio (although the other two are very nice too), so that'll ease the pain. And yes, dupes always surface in the end.You know, with all these ultra limited editions I always think that we'll see something later that's only slightly different from the original. Or maybe I live in hope. :blink:

I use Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat and Good to Go TC. I think chipping is really random. I don't usually get any (I do three manis per week though), but suddenly it happens again. Like some time go I wore a Takko for 5 days and only then it chipped. And just this week the green P&J chipped on me very soon even though P&J can stay on for days (this one was thinner than normal)
Nice birthday mani and great haul!

I use Avon gel strength base coat - it's the best one for me. My favourite top coat is Seche Vite but I stopped using it a few years ago because of the ingredients. Now I use Opi RapiDry and I like it, it's not as shiney but it dries fast - this is the most important thing for me.
I have a question about China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy. I received my third bottle (the first one was in 2012) and it's completely different again! It's peachy now, there's no pink in it.
So I'm looking for something similar to this batch:

I buy a new one when I finish a bottleHahaha, sorry, I got stuck at the third bottle bit. Even I don't have 3 of any nail polish!Have you tried eBay?
I bought the previous two bottles from the same seller on ebay and they were different. I've seen reviews, that each batch is different, so even if order another one, I don't know what I'll receive. This one is from beautybay.
