Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Love it! So glowy! Are you going through a red phase at the moment?



Ah, so nice and summery! Lol at your description!
It's over 30° today and I'm already complete over the heat this year although it's the first day that's really hot. But ugh!



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?!

I wasn't aware of a red phase, but maybe I am!
Sorry to hear you're having job issues too.
Llarowe know how to take time in shipping stuff, for sure! It never really bothered me though, as I was not short of a polish or two in the meantime!

I also wanted to show you my latest mani with one of my new Colour Alike polishes, the green 513. I used some nailvinyls and Opi That's Hula-rious as a base. And for MRV a pic of my right hand where I applied the Colour Alike solo. It has a great texture, very nearly a one coater. The holo is not the strongest, but I love the overall colour and effect. Plus, it smells like gummi bears!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Lovely - both the colour and the design! I want a polish that smells of gummi bears!

 

[Anneri]

Thank you PQ! Well, go for them, they're about 4€ each! Thank you for your kind words too. It's very annoying at the moment and I'm really fed up with explaining myself and my decisions to incredibly unhelpful and stupid people. Oh well. Daily challenges and all that.

[Anitacska]

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.

Thanks. It wasn't really hard work, 3 easy coats, but it just wasn't as nice and it did chip very quickly.

It wasn't so much an abandoned effort but a not finished one, I added more pigment and it was much better.

Thank you as well for the kind words re my week.

Very nice mani! Mmm, gummy bears.

My current mani is Girly Bits Roger That with EP Freeze Machine.



Also did a new pedi, Naild It Eeky Ink



And this is my RC order. On the right it's the salvaged Cupcake Polish It's A Boy.



Oh and I'm also annoyed with Bear Pawlish. Messaged her yesterday with an order (to be shipped here) and she's supposed to send an invoice through Paypal, but still nothing. I can see that nothing is sold out yet, but I'd quite like to be sure to not miss out on anything. Ugh.

 

[Anitacska]

Oh and Anneri, I've received a bunch of pigments, flakies and spectraflair from the seller you suggested and it all looks good. Can't wait to play with them now, but not sure when I'll have the time.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Thank you. No, my week has got worse since hubby returned, won't go into details, but really stressed out now.

Sorry to hear about your job troubles.

I saw Llarowe announce that they received a lot of orders and are behind. There's a reason why I don't order from them nowadays.

I have had some annoyance with my recent RC order, one of the polishes broke (literally when it was thrown through the letter box as it was all fresh leakage), went all over 2 other polishes and the clean up ruined my current mani. Luckily I was able to save about half of the polish and got a refund straight away, but still annoying. Thank goodness I had some empty bottles lying around (well, I did have to wash it out quickly with acetone, hence the ruined mani).

Oh how annoying to get a broken polish
Love what you're wearing though, and your salvaged haul looks really colourful for summer - enjoy!
Did you get your invoice in the end?

Thank you.

Yes, I did, she sent it yesterday. Phew!

In case you didn't get the e-mail from EP, Chelsea's dad died, so the shipping for the pre-orders will be delayed even more, probably until 8th July.

Current mani is Darling Diva Dook At Me over GOSH Holographic Hero. I think I should've applied it over a dark polish, the GOSH is too close to the colour and it wears somewhat awfully badly, cracking and chipping already. Ugh.

 

[PearlyQueen]

My two latest manis:
Bear Pawlish Bow Ties Are Cool:


Smitten Polish - Seahorse Rodeo:


Not a red in sight!

 

[MRV]

Love those holo glitters on holo!


Uh, not feeling so great here either. Been arguing with our contractor and not sleeping well. But here are the recent manis:

EdM Setting Sun (prettier on nails than in the bottle) with Chanel Atmosprère



And KBS Leggo My Mango with Pros and Bronze



Not sure if it shows here but LMM def. is a neon.

 

[MRV]

Oh, lovely blue! And a teal holo is my fave of course. Reminds me of that Orly garbage..thingy!

 

[Anneri]

Thanks, AWS! Yes, a neon would look really nice with a cool beige for instance. You could just simply do an accent and voilà!


Thanks! You don't like spinach soup?

Sorry to hear about you not doing great. Seems it's been a lousy week for most of us.

The mani looks great, very festive. And nice mixing, I like the one on the left best. Uh, those CbLs remind me of several upcoming releases.. can't do anything right now.


Thanks, Anneri! Jealous! We have not had even one day +20 C! There's hope though that it happens on Saturday.

Sorry to hear that. You need to tell them how you feel, you would feel worse if you didn't.


Thanks, PQ!


Awesome! Love it. Where did you get those vinyls(?) from?



Sorry to hear that.

The mani looks lovely, intense. And that pedi is great. I got a KBS shipment (yes, they were 10!) yesterday and was contemplating a neon pedi.

Poor broken polish, it looks lovely.

Thank you MRV! I indeed used vinyls for my mani, and got them from the incredible nice Svenja from Svenjasnailart. I believe she sends stuff to European countries if you email her but atm the shop is closed right now because here in Germany the postmen have gone on strike. Here's a link: http://www.svenjasnailart.de/epages/78073115.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/78073115/Categories

Ugh, tomorrow and Friday it will again be super hot till we get the next set of thunderstorms. Hate. But over 20 should be quite nice! For me it could always be around 25 with a nice breeze and I'd be happy.

Seems like all npas had a shit week - and mine just continues in the same vein. I'm also a huge worrier and hate conflicts, so I can't stop thinking about stuff and watch it back in my head from every angle and it drives me crazy right now.

In good news my awesome friend gave me a Sephora Formula X Ombre set which looks great, I'm really looking forward to trying it!

Very nice manis. Sorry to hear you're having troubles with the contractors.

I'm going to stop complaining on here, it's not going to help and I'd rather focus on nail polish than my ar$e of a husband.

And on that note, I have a few pretties to show you. My Edgy order and Mei Mei order both came today, so it's a good np day at least. The Powder Perfects were bloody expensive, looks like the Swedish Crown is quite strong, but I bit the bullet and ordered them anyway together with a couple of other things. The new EdMs are so lovely, Ah!









And this is my mani, Jindie Nails Just Claws with Darling Diva Carrie on the accents.



Oh and I did order from Llarowe the other night as she had some exclusive Lilypads, shipping for 5 polishes was $18.75! Not happy, but didn't want to miss out on those. Lilypad also has some new polishes coming to her website, I might have to ask someone in the US to ship them to me if Stackry still isn't shipping np. FFS, it's been over 2 months now! Argh!

 

[Anitacska]

Gosh's polishes, especially the holos, have such a bad reputation! But I've a soft spot for silver holos and I think this looks lovely! So calm and cool!


Oh! Ohohoh!

I love this colour. LOVE!

I hate hot weather too, although we haven't really had any here. Had about 2 days when it got into the high twenties, but that's it. In fact last night it was so cold and windy, I ended up putting the heating on. Crazy!

Sorry to hear about your troubles too, hope things get sorted soon. x

Concentrating on pretty polishes may be the way to cope, you're on something there.

Oh I'm soooo jealous of those deliveries, some utter stunners there! The PPs of course, and the EdMs look awesome - I've had my eye on Garnet Fire, is it fabulous in the flesh?
Adore your mani too, such a pretty colour and the accents work so well with it.
Exclusives are a pain when it's an expensive shop, but sometimes you've just got to go for them!

 

[lyseD]

I think my local store is going to stop carrying Ciate, they are all marked half price.

I've never tried one before, anyone have any opinions about the quality or suggestions for colours.

Thanks for your help.
