Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

New mani is Andrea Fulerton Mischa stamped with YSL Yellow Gold and Pueen no. 76 plate. I was really pleased with it when I did it last night, but by the morning the polish had shrunk quite a bit. Still it looks nice.





Also a little haul from TK Maxx because I hadn't bought any np for a whole week and was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms, lol.


Barefoot, Dreamer, Lincoln Street, Palace Street, Abbey Gardens, Bow Street

That stamping mani is lovely, looks really classy.

Oh, and the latest: Enchanted May 2014 with Elevation The Walker on the accent.

Fabulous, that orange is pure glow!

And again!

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.)

Well I think Nails Inc is the brand I have most of, followed by CbL then Enchanted.
It's definitely not my favourite brand - though it was when I bought them all!
My current favourite brand is Powder Perfect, there's something kinda opulent about her colours.

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.

Yay, well done on Dream On!
Love the mani too, shame about the chipping - again, I don't recall any issue with my ILNPs, maybe I just don't do enough housework...??!

Hahaha! I literally didn't do any housework yesterday!

One nail chipped while I was getting dressed in the morning, one while I was colouring and washing my hair, and in the evening I was just sitting on the sofa watching telly and it was just peeling off. Weird.

I've always found watching telly to be nail polish friendly!

Here are my last few manis:

Lilypad Lacquer Deep Sea Dreaming


Nails Inc Park Lane over OPI Purple With A Purpose


Nails Inc Queens Park

They are all very nice, but the second one - wow!!! :eyelove:

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?
I love this!!!

Love this mani too! You pick the best ever nail polishes!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

I am so in love with Point me to the party from China Glaze. Looks like it could be an indie polish (Aka much more interesting than most other of their polishes) and looks amazeballs on almost all base colors. GOnna try it on white with a matte topcoat...

Very nice---and fun!!!!!

Your accent nail is so awesome---love the whole mani of course!!!

Gorgeous manis! that's a great blue and the purple one I need some shades for!

 

[Fuzzy]

I said I was sick on neutrals so I put on the anti- neutral Orly Ablaze. My phone does not like it lol

It was very hard to get the flecks to show up in the photos at all. I can't imagine trying to take a photo of this in full sunlight, in the shade at 6pm it's glowing like it is radioactive lol

.....but you didn't say how many CbLs you have

I have 22 different brands and I own the most Dior---that was a surprise. I have 82 Diors. I don't know what my favorite NP brand is---not sure I have a favorite. I go by color. If it's pretty I want it---regardless of the brand.

WOW!!! I rather like it----a lot!!!!!

 

[MRV]

Thank you all, yes I'm feeling better.

Very pretty!
I haven't had any trouble with CbLs that I remember... I think Strega might actually be one of my better wearing polishes, but that's not a holo.

Nice stamping and mini haul!

ohhh that is nice!

Thank you, I guess I just focus so much on not messing up my nails I haven't the time to think of anything else! lol

This is really cool!!

Thank you

Very nice!

I have no ILNP so I have no idea!

Gorgeous manis! that's a great blue and the purple one I need some shades for!

Thanks, Fuzzy! Nice you hear you're feeling better.

Ablaze is just

and I can see the flecks!


Talking about Orly. I don't know why - but I order one Orly from eBay, it was shipped the next day I think, and the following day I get a cancellation notice saying they are out of stock or somenting. So is it coming or not

.


Latest manis: Hare When the Melting Clock Strikes Midnight (quite nice, easy to take off)



And, oh so pita to get the green even show up, Mac Washeteria with EP Pegasus.



I had to glue my hand to the lamp, hence the yellowness.

I apologise for that. I have 143 CbLs, 109 Lilypad Lacquers,108 Nails Inc polishes, 105 Darling Divas, 96 China Glazes, 96 Zoyas, 95 Enchanteds, 88 Color Clubs, 84 OPIs (a lots of those are minis), 70 EdMs. That's my top 10 when it comes to the amount of polishes I own from one brand. I don't know how many brands I own, probably near 100, but some I only have 1 or 2 polishes from.
