Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anneri]

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.

Not worth it imo. There're better polishes around for that price.

Thank you.

Yeah, I agree. I have a few sets and they have some nice polishes, but all in all, not my favourite brand.

 

[Anitacska]

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!

Thank you! Garnet Fire is indeed fabulous!

 

[Fuzzy]

Very pretty manis! That showed Anneri, huh?

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!

Great haul and mani!




*Big hugs* to all having a rough time

China Glaze - Riveting

It was really nice to apply if I do say so myself! And very carrot orange even though it doesn't look like it here lol And my little Nail Polish Canada haul: Essie Fill The Gap, Picture Polish Bette, OPI Fashion a Bow and China Glaze Treble Maker

 

[PearlyQueen]

Mmmm, glazed carrots, love it! Really nice shade on you.
And a nice bright delivery too - and free lollipops rock! Bette in particular looks really nice, enjoy!

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks! I hope I do! I'll try to do it on Sunday.

Great mani, Imperial Green is awesome!

very pretty!

A nice bright polish for (hopefully) warmer weather... and not rain storms every day like here! lol

Sorry it has been such a bad week

Pretty stamping stamping, sorry the polish didn't wear very well.

nice mixes, I like the pink one! and great haul!

gorgeous mani! The Colour Alike polish makes me think of the can of beer from last night lol -




oh no broken polish

Nice little haul!

Great mani, love that blue! and nice pedi too!


Nice mani, sorry it didn't turn out quite as hoped!

Beautiful manis! I'm with MRV, the second one reminds me of Orly Sparkling Garbage too! Which reminds me that I should wear that one!

sorry there has been arguments and that you haven't slept well

Very nice manis! Setting Sun is very nice!

Great haul and mani!




*Big hugs* to all having a rough time

Thanks Fuzzy, for all the compliments and the love and hugs.

Very nice mani and lovely little haul. I love free lollipops, I got one from Edgy Polish the other day! Mmm.

My current mani, well, just taken it off, but anyway, Starrily Pumpkin Spice.







Only had hazy sunshine, it was more holo under indoor light. Nice shift too.

Has anyone bought anything from the new releases? I've placed some rather large orders. Bought 11 Femme Fatales, all 7 new FUN Lacquers and 11 ILNPs. Also placed a couple of orders with Mac (US site) for some matte lipsticks and dazzle eyeshadows from Le Disko, got $30 discount which is unheard of in the UK. But yeah, a lot of money spent. Hopefully there won't be any new collections out for a little while now.

 

[awickedshape]

Omg, I just saw Fuzzy's pic and remembered that I have an Essie protein base coat and top coat behind the rest of my polishes! Completely forgot them... Jeez

That's lovely, just the kind of colour I always love, though I can't always pull it off!
Sounds like you've got some lovely deliveries en route - I really wanted the FUNs, but I could only justify one as the job is definitely going soon. I also wanted several of the FFs, bought just one again, and there are a few of the ILNPs I fancy too, but they'll have to wait till I have a new source of income. At least ILNP are easy to get hold of when you're ready to buy, none of that "buy now or miss out" rubbish.
It's hard weaning myself off my big hauls but I really can't be getting much more for a while. I hate it!

 

[PearlyQueen]

My new mani is Powder Perfect "Iteru" The River:

I did my toenails, they didn't turn out too awful, but bending in that way sure was lol CbL Beat It

Doesn't show the holo... it's just so dark and cloudy today. ugh.

Love that mani, very pretty.

In fact there have been a lot of gorgeous manis since I last posted, but I can't possibly quote them all. I do love seeing them though.

My own nails have been disgracefully bare for way too long, for one reason or another. I really need to get some polish on them soon.

I ordered 5 Femme Fatales, after regretting not ordering from the Snow White collection first time round, I made sure I got in for the restock on Rainbow Connection, and added in a couple of the White Witch polishes.

Also pre-ordered 8 ILNPs. I still want most of the rest of the new collections, and I've got several on my wishlish from previous releases, but 8 is as much as I can justify in a single order!

Ignored FUN Lacquer as I really can't get sucked into another brand!

 

[Anitacska]

Current mani Superficially Colorful Lacquer Utral Aymokriya and Black Cat Lacquer Candy is Dandy (on the accents). The SCL is such a beautiful polish, but terrible formula, applied well, however it chipped like lightning. The BCL is really nice, it has a real depth to it which of course doesn't show in the photo.



New Glams! I asked someone on FB to ship them to me, these are once again Glam website exclusives.

Oh, sorry to hear about the formula, love the colour though. Those Glams are very pretty! (But I'm not looking!

)

 

[MRV]

Here are my recent manis: FF Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall... This was kind of a shy holo, the BSF exclusive was much more blingy than MMOTW.



And P&J #003 Perroquet Rose (new bottle)

Nice pedi! I'd send you some sun if I could! It's much too warm and dry over here.

Hi Jenny! Good to see you! Which ILNPs did you get? I love that I don't have to rush to get them and will likely get some in the future.

Love that pink! So bright and happy! Lucky you, you got the Glams! They look great, enjoy!

Thanks for the tip, Anneri! She seems to deliver within Europe, so I might grab a few vinyls when possible. We had two - yes, two warm > +20 C days last week (the only ones this year), and now it's back to +13 C again, and at the end of this week (the big midsummer weekend here), it's just rain, rain, rain and cold . I'm kind of the opposite to you. I don't mind conflicts - I might strike as withdrawn but I'm a tough cookie! I also try not to worry, but I do think and analyze too much as you do. That's a nice gift! Thanks, Anitacska, it's better now. Love those EdMs! Mine are on their way, too, but I think we have only the green one in common. That's a pretty mani with a nice subttle accent. Thanks, AWC! Thanks, PQ, I don't know why I've been so girly of late. Wearing another pink atm. Multithanks, Fuzzy! My lack of sleep is due to the summer light I think. Normally I'm not bothered by it but at the place I'm staying now the bed (and my head) is right next to a large window facing South-East and it's still getting lighter and lighter. There are no real curtains but a few days ago I pulled down the roller curtain in the window and I think it helps. Love that can by the way, very retro. Riveting is such a lovely polish. Pretty mani! Great little haul, I got Treble Maker, too. Lovely holo! I have not ordered anything. I wanted to get some FUNs but I was so tired I had actually fallen asleep when the launch happened. And when I woke up I did not have the energy to check them out until later when the one I wanted most was already SO everywhere. I think I'll skip the CbLs for the moment, and the ILNPs too (haven't hauled the ILNP spring either) as we can always get them later. What FFs are you talking about? The latest collection from RC? That's a pretty blue! Nice! I think Beat It suits well for a pedi. Oh, sorry to hear about the formula, love the colour though. Those Glams are very pretty! (But I'm not looking! :haha: )

I don't understand that we're apparently the only country that had too much sun recently! 13?! Thats not right!!! It's gotten cooler during the last days, but it's still over 20. i rather like it that way! The Sephora tints definitely have a learning curve. It's quite difficult to blend them seamlessly. I stamped over it to hide the imperfections and was quite surprised that my stamping wasnt too bad!

Here are my recent manis: FF Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall... This was kind of a shy holo, the BSF exclusive was much more blingy than MMOTW. And P&J #003 Perroquet Rose (new bottle)

I love the pic with the mirror! Great idea to Photograph the polish like that! Here's my latest mani with one of the polishes I made (and posted) some days ago:

The little birds are waterdecals.

Love the FF so much. Must wear mine soon.

I tried the blobbicure thingy yesterday, but it didn't work for me. The blobs just didn't want to spread, they were just big domes on my nail. So I ended up just smoothing them over. Must have done something wrong. Too big blobs maybe?

Nice manis, the birds are so cute.

It's not very hot here, low twenties, just right for me.

Our puppy had his op today, we had him castrated, bless him, he's feeling really sorry for himself tonight.

My current mani is FUN Unconditional Love and the holo version on the accents. I'm sure I have a dupe or two for the non-holo version, but still the shift is gorgeous and the holo version is just wow!
