Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Massive nail mail today, my Indigo Bananas order arrived via Mexico (

) and also my Beauty So Fly order came.





This is the BSF order. The two FF exclusives are gorgeous. I also got two Lilypad exclusives which are also very nice, especially Kaleidoskirt which is on the left. KPT Vanda and the Cadillacquer are also BSF exclusives.







The IB flakies are really nice. These are all the holo versions. I love it that she does mini bottles, it makes them something like £5 per bottle with shipping. Some do look quite similar in the pictures, but there are differences in the shifts. She also included a freebie, Jacaranda (the purple one in the first picture) and some candy!

Brilliant nail mail! I'm kind of jealous of the pale FF exclusive, in other circumstances I'd have ordered that one myself, really fancied it.
I already have that stunning red Lilypad, do you love it as much as I do?

Here you go! Left to right: March, April, May. They are all holo, but quite subtle, even May, although that's definitely the strongest. May is a little more blurple than my pictures, and both March and April have strong pink sheen to them, but my camera says no.

I didn't get stung by customs, but it was only luck as she once again put $27 on the form even though I e-mailed her and ask her to put less. Grrr!

Was thinking though, did you have your two orders sent to the same address? You know she combines orders and doesn't refund shipping, so if you did, you'll probably get one package and still risk customs.








Well, apparently it's only going to be available from Pshiiit, as well as EP, but hopefully eventually it will become easier to get. Still no news on the time of the restock, please let it be 8 pm UK time...



Hope you like the ridge filler. Also hope there'll be no bad news.



Thank you! Funnily it's the only Celestial I own.

Thank you! You should get some Different Dimension polishes, they are really nice.

Oh no, what happened to the thumb? Both manis are really nice.
My bottle of May arrived all by itself to my home today - I absolutely love it Stunning.
So that should make the customs thing go away! Now I'm just waiting for the others to the office, hopefully on Monday!

Nikki Voss is Glam Polish! OK weird, I swear there was a post there!  Guessing you remembered???
Hahaha! Yes, as soon as I typed it up and pressed submit, I realised it was one of the Aussie brands, couldn't remember which one and I've already counted the Glam order, but not the Lilypad, well, either way, got it now, thanks.

Can't believe how many bottles of np I have sitting at Stackry, now that I've finally written up a list to avoid buying multiples (already managed to buy 3 of them twice, grr), couldn't remember half of it. Shit. Really hope they will be able to ship them soon, or at least eventually.

Anyway, today's mani is an oldie. Who remembers the magnetic polishes? I only have a few, but I really like them, they look so cool imo. This is 17 Magnetized Blue with China Glaze Fairy Dust on top.

My EPs will arrive tomorrow. I'm a bit meh about the colours minus maybe the blue one. Maybe that'll change when I see them in person.
The majority seemed to not like the first 2015 colours but I actually really liked Feb.

EP doesn't combine the orders anymore, only when you request it. I rather pay extra shipping than wait for a couple of more weeks and all the hassle with the customs office is tiresome here. Chelsea used to put the value as 6 $ per bottle on the customs form but for a couple of months she's put 9 $ per bottle. It's a bit annoying that she changed this but maybe she had some trouble with the post office or customs.

Anneri, the shipping is 9 $ for the first polish and 2 $ for each additional bottle.
Oh doesn't she combine them anymore? That's cool. Then I can place two orders. Or risk customs and hope I'm lucky again. I'll figure it out by next Saturday.

Thanks! Nice to hear you had no troubles with the customs. I like the green of course, and even though I'm not a blue girl, I like intense shades. But why April is a light shade again!? I want colour for my BD month! I don't know why but I have not yet received my EPs - or anything else for that matter - I usually get them about the same time. We'll see, I have a very tight budget: just sold my fridge, owen, and dishwasher to get food :lol: . I don't know what happened with the thumb! I came home from an evening meeting and noticed a deep crack and another one on the other side so I had to cut it off. Thank you! May's pretty on toes and a nice combo on your mani. :eyelove: Pretties! I'm still waiting for my BSF order, too. Hope I did not order the same time as you as I got the shipping notice just a few days ago. Those IBs look endless! A mini bottle is a nice idea (> You Only Swatch Once! :haha: ), but I tend to stay away from them. Thanks, Anneri! I'm fine, no acking. I tend to buy the same colours from a certain brand. Like all the corals, greens, and even blues from Essie. They will be putting out yet two collections with more blue for the summer. I like this shade I'm still wearing. It's kind of a 50's shade. Your cloud mani is so pretty! :cloud9: That's a great idea to use the pearls. Love a lot your swirl mani, too! And that DD looks really nice, too. Pretty! I wish I could wear a mani like this, but with my stained nails is a no-no. Thanks, PQ! Thankfully it's summer soon so the nails will grow quickly. Although I have to complain how cold it's been until now. I could still easily wear a light winter coat. And I'm still wearing gloves at times. Finally next weekend the temperature will be over +15 C! Nice to hear you like it! Very nice! It's like celestial nebula & stars! :)
Thank you! I received my BSF shipping notification the day my order arrived, not sure why she sent it so late. Hopefully yours will arrive soon too.

Thank you. Unfortunately it chipped super fast. Time to change it.

Thanks, no BSF yet but I did receive my EPs plus a few P&Js I got from a sale.

Speaking of chipping, have you thought about changing your BC? I think it determines more than a TC when it comes to chipping.


New mani's P&J #005 (new bottle) Plumes do Paon with some FF Apothecary.

Yeah, they announced that a while ago. Sad, really.
I don't own any Cult polishes, looks like I won't now either.

My current mani is Layla Purple Illusion with Cirque Le Invader. I've figured out how to make the Layla go on smoothly, just file and polish my nails with the double sided file they included and don't use base coat. Went on really evenly. Bit sheer though as after 3 coats it was still a bit dull (could've been the topcoat dulling it too), so I added a fourth one over the TC. Still not as holo as some of the other ones though.

Beautiful, that is a stunning shade.

Love this mani, so pretty!

To be honest I don't think it matters what BC I use, I have used at least 3 different ones in the past year, the problem is my nails, they are very soft and bendy, so I think that's why the polishes chip on me so quickly.

Glad to hear you managed a painless Layla holo mani - really pretty!
