Thanks! It's just drops on drops - the method I saw on Pshiiit and used for the "croco" and some other manis.

Yes! The shade is perfect, it's very opaque and easy to apply!

MRV, I know you were after the new Femme Fatale Snow White collection polishes. Beauty So Fly is restocking them along with 2 exclusives in just under an hour if you're interested. There's a fixed rate shipping of 15 Singapore dollars for up to 10 bottles. #notenablingatall

I've finally received my Dream On that a lady from one of the EP FB groups got for me from the latest NPC restock and counted up my EPs to find I now nearly have 100.
But to my surprise, the brand I own the most number of polishes is actually CbL. So I was wondering, which brand do you own the most polishes from and is it actually your favourite brand? (Cause I'm bored.)

Congrats! 100?I've finally received my Dream On that a lady from one of the EP FB groups got for me from the latest NPC restock and counted up my EPs to find I now nearly have 100.But to my surprise, the brand I own the most number of polishes is actually CbL.

My biggest brand is CG (the only one over 100), next (50-100) there are Hare & BL, Essie, FF, Enchanted, CbL, and EdM. I'm not sure I can call all of them the best I know, I just have a long history with some, like CG.

Glad you managed to order some. Actually I found that the prices aren't too bad at all, you get nearly 2 SGD for a pound, so they work out just over £8, RC sells them for £8, obviously postage is less within the UK.Oh, ok. I don't think I missed anything then. She would have not shipped here anyways.
Thank you!
Thanks, I saw your post just after placing my order. I got the pretty blue exclusive and three of the most wanted from the collection. I will get more or even the rest from elsewhere as I have to order something else plus they are cheaper there.
Congrats! 100?I have 'only' 67 once I get the latest three. That is actually quite a lot as I started so much later and have not used any special means - just my bad luck!

I also have a lot from CG, just over 100, but again it's not necessarily my favourite brand, neither is CbL. Come to think of it, I don't know which is my favourite.

Gorgeous manis - loving Tulips, it's on my "must wear soon" list!Finally I've got a minute to post mani and haul pictures. First mani is Models Own Sun Kissed and Zest A Peal gradient with palm tree stickers.
My current mani is Different Dimension Tulips Are Better Than One stamped with Pueen 80 plate (and Konad white). I was pleasantly surprised by the DD polish as I'd read that it was very sheer and needed 4 coats, but it was fine with 2. Did 3 for good measures, but it certainly didn't need 4. It has a lot of purple to it, but my camera didn't want to know.
Finally, a few haul pictures. First is my Rainbow Connection order:
Bullet For My Valentine, Monroe, Lilac You Mean It, What In Carnation, A Dragon Is Not A Slave, Throughout My Life
Little TK Maxx and Poundland haul:
Firefly, Platinum Wishes, London Lane
Hypnotic Polish haul:
Strawberry Margarita, Manhattan, Tsunami
Pink Squirrel, Kir Royal, Black Sabbath
Sugared Violets, Dahlia, Danger Danger, Party Time, Night Ranger, Through The Glass
Phew!
Did anyone order any FUN Lacquers or the EP mysteries? I ordered all 3 EPs and quite a few FUNs. MRV, was that you that got the shipping refunded? I saw your first name among the first 50, but of course it could be someone else. I was too slow, but the discount paid for the shipping anyway, so I'm happy.
Your newbies all look lovely too.
I did order the EP mysteries, I decided to split them between two addresses as the extra shipping would be cheaper than the import fees, not sure if that was wise or not!
I skipped FUN, though I didn't want to!

Beautiful Zoyas, beautiful EdMs, loving it!Current mani Zoya Izzy and Kissy. These are properly old, they're from 2011.
Also a little haul from the EdM LE and sample sale a couple of weeks ago.
Enchanted Isle, LE10, LE 16, LE13, LE15, LE20, LE18
They arrived really quickly and she kindly marked the customs form with a low value, so happy with that. I was worried I might get stung since Anneri's comment about Australian brands. Looks like EdM is different.

I have so many CbLs but I've barely worn any of them - don't remember any of the ones I have used being bad for chipping though, as that's usually a red card for buying more.Today's mani is CbL Tequila IV with Zoya Bar on the accents. There was no sunshine yesterday at all, so only managed gloomy and indoor shots.
I have been really happy with the Essence gel top coat for longevity, but it seems even that can't stop the CbL from chipping. It seems to be one of the worst brands I own for chipping. Now on day 2 it still looks okay, but the last 3 or so manis lasted so much better. Anyone else has this issue with CbL?
This combo looks lovely though.

Just beautiful, love it, desire it!The new Enchanted Polish called Entwined, from Pshiiit's instagram. Looks kinda like Picture Polish - Scandal with a stronger colour shift to me?

So here is Dream On plus the mini polish the girl who got DO for me sent me. It's her own brand that she's planning on launching in June. It's a nice taupy colour.
Also, my current mani, ILNP Amanda Hugginkiss with Indigo Bananas Galactic Halo on the accents.
It's a lot more purple than the first picture and darker than the second, but my camera couldn't pick it up properly. Such a gorgeous purple holo, very linear, stunning. The flakies are really nice too, one coat over the ILNP, but you can't really see the polish underneath. Real shame though that the ILNP chipped very very quickly, pretty much immediately (well, did the mani at night, following morning it started chipping already), even with the Essence gel topcoat. I remember someone saying they found ILNP polishes to chip very quickly too. Oh well, it's still very pretty and I'll be changing my mani tonight anyway.
