Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[beautycool]

I very nearly didn't order any EPs. Didn't feel like enduring the hideous stress and rush of the restock, especially after the big hoohah on IG last night. The EP woman seriously pissed me off with her attitude towards her customers. Anyway, the pre-order changed my mind, Entwined is such a gorgeous polish, I had to have it.

The lady from enchanted don't know how to treat her customers Hun that's what it is Has always bee the problem like even two year ago But people always go back for more I stopped buying from her like two year ago anyhows I think it was a rip off when you bought like say four polishes then having to pay for Seperate shipping on all four bottles Then she put all the four bottles in one box usually There was a big thing about it Yer prob about two year ago now maybe longer Which that's just being greedy The uk ladies were not impressed And also some orders went missing and she wouldn't refund or something Oh there's was a lot of fuss about enchanted !!!!!!!!

And thank you MRV for the flakie breakdown! I'll have a look at the pic on ig.

She posted pictures of the new T-shirts with the logo ($35 and $45 each by the way, she's mental!) with the caption saying "how about a T-shirt?". A lot of people put, no thanks, not interested, seriously?, etc. Some people also wrote that she should make more polishes instead. As far as I'm aware none of the comments were nasty or rude, but she started deleting all the comments that didn't say how fantastic she is basically. Then some people started complaining about that and I pointed out how pathetic deleting these comments was, so she went and blocked me! Then of course there was the comment later of her saying how much she loves her customers, and how hurt she was that people were nasty to her, etc. So I thought, sod it, I'm not buying from her again. But then she changed it to preorder, so I softened, hahaha.

However, I have no doubt in my mind that she changed it to preorder not to please her fans, but because she realised how much more money she can make (it's taken her this long!), there were a couple of ladies discussing where you can by her polishes cheaper and how much they were reselling for, so obviously she saw that and went "oh actually, I can make more money". Anyway, it was a good move and she should've done that ages ago, I never understood why she didn't. Of course now some people are complaining on FB that it's not the same when it's not a regular restock and that made her brand more desirable, now it's just another brand, I mean what the hell is wrong with people??? Anyway, hopefully she'll only do pre-orders for new stuff in the future, it is definitely the way forward, I for one have no desire to stress in front of the computer for an hour and end up paying shipping 3 times for them just to be combined and the extra shipping swallowed by her. I'll give her money for the polish, but that's all.

And those T-shirts, she obviously thought she can stick her logo on anything and still sell it, but they're actually just plain white T-shirts, probably cost her $5 to buy and another $5 to be printed, and she's selling them for $35 and $45??? That said, they all sold out in the end, so obviously there's a market for them. She's probably sitting at home, looking at her bank account swell up and rubbing her hands in glee, hahaha.

What about the picture polish leggings Omg they were pricey

 

[Anitacska]

Omg they were pricey

I like those. They look really cool. Whereas the EP T-shirts were just plain white with the logo. Who would buy them at that price, I don't know.

Yeah, I thought she wanted money. She got mine!


Oh, well, the latest: Elevation the Kek with EP Pegasus.

I have bought from there only 2X. I hate not knowing exactly what I am getting, but like I said before...I've been lucky! IMO I think it's a bit a**hol*ish to assume that people will buy your product regardless of your attitude/customer service. The first order was packaged in bubble wrap & styro peanuts ( a lot of peanuts! ). This last one had the bubble and like 3 nuts!!! Whatever! I didn't order Sunday. I am fine with what I have received. Now I will try another! It's usually what I do... Any suggestions on my next? I've done KB, Starilly, ILNP...wanted to do the Australian Emily(?)...

 

[Anneri]

Emily de Molly!

If you're in the market for indie brands, I also enjoy Indigo Bananas, Cadillacquer, Cirque and Elevation Polish!

Emily de Molly! If you're in the market for indie brands, I also enjoy Indigo Bananas, Cadillacquer, Cirque and Elevation Polish!

Those are all very good choices. I'd also recommend Darling Diva, Different Dimension, Lilypad Lacquer, Femme Fatale, Colors by Llarowe, Cupcake Polish, Fun Lacquer, Liquid Sky Lacquer.

 

[Fuzzy]

Cool!


Yes, my motto is ALL or NOTHING!

I'll do my best! It might take a few weeks though until we receive them.

BTW, Anneri. I tried to take a pic of EP and ILNP flakies:



The green one is EP (two coats I think) and the lower one is ILNP.


Let's hope so!

Great manis!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Multithanks, Fuzzy! I have not received the polish, and I checked out their page: it was SO. I will try to hunt it down. Tomorrow's payday, TG!


Thank you, Med! I'm fine, thanks, no worries.


Love the middle one.


Thanks, PQ!


Yes, I did a mani with EP Mermaid (it's on IG, April 20th), and I just took off a mani where I used another one as an accent. I will post it tomorrow. I was so busy on Friday that I did not even have time to take mani pics. The EP flakies are very fine. I don't think I have tried other flakies than EP and ILNP, they are different for sure. If you want to use flakies as a topper, the EPs might work better. Although, they are more subttle.

Pretty! That is a lovely white. What is this MM frenzy? Party party all the time!

Great to hear you are pleased with your haul.


Pretty! Solange is a lovely, sunny polish.


I got them all

.

Woohoo! I stopped myself at four... was really tempted to keep going, and had originally planned to get two!

 

[PearlyQueen]

️️️in a bottle

That's a nice treat! I love those bottles, though I don't know how easy they would be to use! Of course I couldn't justify buying one, though I was drooling over the display when I was in Dubai. I tried to pick one up for a closer look, but they were all fakes and glued down - you had to tell the assistant which one you wanted and she'd get it for you! I really hadn't planned to shoplift one!

Love both of these, that blue is awesome!

 

[PearlyQueen]

I agree re EP!
Emily de Mollys are great, go for it!
My own recommendations are Powder Perfect and Dance Legend - PP have a really opulent use of colour and DL are just quality, and there is something for everyone in their range!
Whichever you go for, enjoy!

 

[PearlyQueen]

This week's mani is Picture Polish Nemesis:








Not quite as shifty or as holo as some brands, but I really love the colour. Don't think I'll get the rest though (probably...).

[Anitacska]

OMG, they're here!



Much prettier irl, esp. Oh, it has lots of flakies and glitter.

My current mani is ILNP Blue Steel with China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara.



Bonus kitty picture:



Was going to do gradient stamping on it with some of the Models Own metallic polishes, but it didn't work. Tried 2 different plates and 3 different stampers, so I'm pretty sure it's the polishes. In the end I just stuck some stickers on.
