Love it! Such a beautiful polish and great coordination!

I saw some Morgan Taylor polishes at the spa today. I don't remember seeing this brand before. Some of the colours were really nice but I didn’t get to try any. Also, I was browsing Smith and Cult on NM and nearly added the cute peach to my cart but a) it's on back order and b) I hate the name http://www.cuteandmundane.com/2015/04/smith-cult-graduate-and-porn-athon.html?m=1

Here's my copycat mani

using EP June 2014 with Indigo Bananas Violet Stars (holo). I'm so in love with this mani, the EP is very nice and the IB is just so gorgeous. Very strong holo, more so than the other one was, the flakies seem much smaller in this and they have a really nice shift.

Pretty duo and a very pretty mani! Love greens.

Looks like I'm so safe: I have no Glams, GGs, or IBs. But I did order some Different Dimension polishes.


Thanks, PQ! You can still get the FF once they restock it.

I'm skipping for now (when is it coming out again?). I've just ordered a load of NPs! And I was able to order directly from FF after all!

I ordered a few DD neons, too. But had I known Harlow was going to restock KBS the same night I probably would have skipped them. (Why people annouce their restocks so late?! Like I missed Hare's surprise LE restock because she told about it only a few hours(?) before (= late night here), and I got the message only next morning (= too late).) LLarowe really is too expensive: I paid like 20 Euros more for my Harlow order and got more 5 polishes!


Nice!

CAD and AUD feel soooo much better than the USD though!

Awesome! You don't need to order it seems!


Pretty LLs. I was eyeing that Guerlain, too, but then ordered one of the new YSLs.

Lovely mani!


My hands are looking worse again but here's EP June 2014 and Unicorn:





nice mani, ouch poor finger!

Nice pedi!


I got the go-ahead to take the buffer block to my big toe nails so now they are smooth enough that I think a ridge filling basecoat will hide any of the other small ridges.They're not fixed(and likely never will be because medicine isn't magic lol) but I can maybe try to make them look semi- presentable and wear open-toed shoes again! Gonna make that order on the weekend.

Very nice! the IB really does have a nice shift!

Thanks, Fuzzy! Hope you succeed with your pedi.


I'm finally wearing the awesome Imperial Green by Mac, with FF Stand in the Clouds (just that on those nails). My usual phone ate up the colours so I took a little better one with my other phone (you really cannot get sharp pics with it though).

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, thanks. I ordered all of them. Probably wisest for you to order from RC. Hope they get the pervious collection again. I'm still stalking to get the rest, too.


Pretty pedi & combo, AWS!


It's lovely! And you got better pics than I did!

Thank you! I took like 30 pictures. Sun didn't come out properly, so most of them aren't that great or only show the shift and not the holo.

Ooh, very pretty mani! And hello Mr Thumb!

 

[awickedshape]

Thank you [@]Fuzzy[/@]!! Thank you [@]MRV[/@]! I'm loving green so much lately. Imperial Green looks great!

That's a beautiful pedi, love the way it matches the sandals, just gorgeous!

Lovely red. Is it holo?


Pretending it's summer.. & time for brights: this is Elevation Icho Namiki. It's like neon spinach soup!

 

[awickedshape]

Thanks! :lol: It's Mr Sliced-Thumb! Thank you, AWC. It a lovely green, like an emerald. Thanks, PQ! Lovely red. Is it holo? Pretending it's summer.. & time for brights: this is Elevation Icho Namiki. It's like neon spinach soup! :haha:

Looks great! I wanted to do a neutral with a pop of a neon like that but I have zero skills lol

Neon spinach soup!

That's just for the thought of the food, your mani is really nice and cheerful!

Ugh, I'm having such a shitty week, yesterday was really bad followed by a crap night. Bloody puppy has been barking half the night, keeps waking us up, then of course I have to come downstairs to sit with him (hubby is away this week for work) and I'm just shattered now. Was even crying at 2 am last night. Also had a really bad stomach on Wednesday and now it's my "lady problem". Bleugh.

Did manage to do a new mani, not my favourite, the colour is so-so, the stamping made it nicer, but since I've lost half a nail during washing up. It's Pahlish Fields of Gold, it was a March A Box Indied polish, that's when I stopped my subscription, just not very happy with the selection of polishes. I think this is my one and only Pahlish and I don't think I'll buy any more either.



I did get a bit creative yesterday and mixed a few polishes. Pulled out some Ciate minis I don't really want/won't use and added some of my ILNP flakies to them. L-R: Ferris Wheel + ILNP Cold Fusion and holo silver glitter, ignore the next one it was work in progress, Members Only + ILNP Neon Rosebud, Snow Globe plus some violet-blue-green multichrome pigment over black (the work in progress was with less pigment). The one on the right is on its own, really doesn't show up. I love the blue one and the pink one especially, I'm not sure about the third one, but it was fun experimenting.





I also received my Hypnotic Polish order.

 

[Anneri]

Thank you! I loved that mani so much!


Very pretty! I really want to get some BP.

Love your frankens - it's so relaxing and fun to mix up stuff, right?
Sorry to hear that you're having a bad few days - hope the puppy behaves now!

I'm totally exasperated right now with having to deal with the job agency - just talked to a lady (I use that term loosely) on the phone who thought I should be happy with every crappy job and was downright rude when I told her no. Guess she'll complain about me at the agency - I'm so fed up with those dimwits!

Also annoyed at Llarowe - I haven't had any email confirmation of my order a week ago! On the site it states 'processing'. What's so hard about it?! After one whole week?!

Wowser, that's a lovely bright mani - don't think I'd look good in it, but you wear it well and I love the speckles!
Troublemakers isn't holo, it's duochrome and shimmer!

Your mani looks lovely, though it does look like it might have been hard work! I only have a couple of Pahlishes, one worn, one untried and one in my Stackry box.... I didn't have issues with the one I've used.
What fun mixing you've done there, I can definitely see where you were going, and I even like the abandoned effort!
And such a cute haul too - I don't think I have any of those!
Sorry to hear you've been having a shitty week, hopefully things will improve soon.
