Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Today I was shopping for hours and didn't get any polishes or make up! My two younger children have an Alice in Wonderland dressing up day next week and I've been trying to find bits for their outfits. I bloody hate dressing up days, I'm really happy my daughter is going to secondary (senior) school in September as they don't have any of those anymore. But this year she's also in the school production of The Little Mermaid and I need to get clothes for that. Argh!!!

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!







No purchases - very restrained of you! Well done lol.
Poor pup, bet he's not too happy, but it's all in a good cause.

That's a gorgeous mani - super shift!

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)


Very pretty manis!

The little birds are waterdecals.
Thanks! It's going to be sunny today and most of yesterday(except for those crazy downpours in the early morning!) and most of monday was too. Looks like some thunderstorms tomorrow though.

Great manis! I love the first one, the stamping makes it, I think!

Nice pedi. Ikwym about bending to paint toes, I'm getting older and it's harder and harder (plus my fat tummy gets in the way too, hahaha!).

That sounds like a very complicated dress-up day! When I was in school it was things like hat day or pajama day or a day where you wear clothes that 'clash'. Those were easy, because most people have those things at home right now.

Thanks! I'm not very flexible anymore and when I stay in any position too long I get stiff and kind of stuck that way! not to mention my eyes are too far from my feet lol

Poor puppy, Tell him he is very handsome without his testicles (Shelly from the TinyKittens cam tells the neutered kittens this lol)

Beautiful mani, great shift!




Looks like there are 2 new OPI Coca Cola colours coming out- they look nice esp. the green:

Instead of going to MAC for the Disco launch I just ended up buying one of the shadows online yesterday, so that is going out for delivery today. I figure, I grabbed my groceries on Monday after my brother's reception thingy so why waste tokens going way out to a MAC store when they have free shipping.

OPI Over and Over A-Gwen

Very pigmented! It's kind of a strange muted red, on Instagram I said it reminded me of the red on our transit vehicles lol

Ladies I tried multi quoting but it became totally unmanageable and I didn't want to leave anyone out. Suffice it to say, your manis (& pedis) and hauls are amazing.
I love the colors and designs---so way out of my league. There's something very soothing about browsing them---just so enjoyable. So glad you continue to share them.
Forget the Wizard of Oz. You all are the Wizards of Nails!!!!

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.



Love both the colours in your mani (don't own either brand). And those new Glams are really sparkling in your pics - they look great, enjoy!

Oh I LOVE what you've done with those tints, it's just beautiful. I tend to rely on a single multichrome to achieve that sort of look! I wish I was more creative - and able to carry through an idea¬!
Your seagull mani is very cute too, your polish looks great.

Thank you.

Well done for being able to resist. Wish I could do that, but I'm too weak.


Ooh, very pretty!

Thanks Jenny. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your FF and ILNP hauls.


Thank you. Sorry you missed out on the FUNs. Did you want the purple one? I think that went first. I couldn't get online at 4.30 which was the launch time here, it was about 4.45 by the time I managed and RC only had one of the purple one left. By the time I checked out it was gone from my cart. Checked FUN and it was in carts then all gone, so ended up ordering it from Hypnotic Polish (plus their Cupcake Polish exclusive). 10 euros shipping, but what the heck.

Yes, I got 5 of the White Witch FFs, the 2 remianing ones from the Snow White collection and she had 3 random LE ones (COTM I think). Should arrive tomorrow together with the FUNs.


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.

Poor puppy, give him a hug from me!
Love your mani, great idea to mix the holo and non-holos like that. Those two have been on my wishlist for a while, but not a priority, though they look very cool on you.

Love both of those.

ILNPs I went for 4 from the summer collection and 4 of the ultra holos:

Long Walks
Harbor Island
Super Juiced
Summer Crush
Missed Calls
Closure
Ten Fold
1UP


No purchases - very restrained of you! Well done lol.

Ooo, nice ILNP order, I really was tempted to snag some. Looking forward to seeing your pics of them!

Just a quick post again (I will comment later): KBS Rum Me the Right Way - I'm ready for the Midnight Sun! (IRL the awful rain :( - well at least it's a long weekend.)

Very summery! Sorry to hear the weather is far from it.

My Rainbow Connection order arrived yesterday. The FFs and Funs are really lovely. Also got CbL No I'm Still Tacky, it looked so gorgeous in the swatch pictures, but I'm a little underwhelmed.







The one missing its label is Midnight in Paris.

My current mani is Dance Legend Termo Trio 1. Maybe it's too warm or my nails aren't long enough, but the thermal effect is very minimal. You can just about see all 3 colours on my ring finger. I also took a picture after I sat in the shade for a while, that's all dark blue though, no shift.





I also feel like it needs something extra, I might do some stamping on it later.

Oooo, hypnotic neon! Brilliant, something sixties about this look I feel!

Thank you.

He's feeling much better now, thank you.


Hahaha, I'll tell him! Thank you!


Nice red polish.


Thank you Meddy! My nail painting skills are nowhere near as good as my shopping skills, hahaha!


Thank you!


Will do.

Thank you!

Lovely haul! I really fancy Crystal Skull now, wish I'd added it to my order! I know what you mean about No, I'm Still Tacky - loved the pics, it was my choice from the whole collection, but though it's nice, it doesn't seem as brilliant as blogger swatches showed it looking. Maybe it will be more wow on the nails!
The FUNs look sooo sparkly, I could have happily bought most of them myself - the only one you didn't get is the one I did! I presume it's the one you've ordered from Europe?
Your thermal DL is a bit disappointing - this is why the only thermals I own are many years old! Pretty colours though, and I bet a bit of stamping will lift the whole look.
