Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

I love this weather!
Woohoo to lots of Lilypads, looking forward to seeing your choices. My Meimei's usually arrive nice and quickly too, hope they turn up soon.
Pretty mani, like a variation on the Bea Stings one you did last week! This is another of the pink CbLs I skipped (not quite as jealous as I was of Bea Stings though!).
Ouchy for the blisters, hope they clear up soon.

Thanks. OABTRAD is nothing special, it's just a nice mauve holo polish. Bea Stings is a lot more unique.

Didn't change my mani yesterday as for a change the CbL held up really well. It usually chips badly by day 2. Also I was really tired. I don't like the heat and it's been such a busy week with school and birthdays/parties.

I got an epic nail mail today, my US mule forwarded 23 of my Stackry polishes and I also finally received my Llarowe order (Lilypad exclusives) from 8th June and my Norway Nails order came too (they ship to the UK again, so I picked up a few Spell Polishes that I'd been wanting to get, their FF exclusive and an EdM). I didn't have time to take pictures of them properly, but here's a group photo. I believe that's 35 polishes.



I will be selling my duplicate EPs though, I got 5 from Pshiiit when she restocked the flakies, so only keeping Fairy which was the one I didn't get.

Still no Mei Mei order and my EPs are still en route. Will probably get caught up in customs anyway. From what I've seen on FB, Daydream seems to vary so much, some people got some really green ones, some blue, some very light. Loads of people are selling off theirs and struggling to break even. Doesn't bode well for the reputation of EP.

Hopefully that means they're actually getting the licence by then and not that they'll be told whether they will get it. I still have 2/3 of my polishes sitting there.

I thought your friend was sending all of them - must have misunderstood!

Thank you!

Now that's Nail Mail!!! That looks like a lot of fun to open up and explore!
Weird about the EP, that's a new issue. Hope mine is nice!

No, I only had the package that I'd consolidated ages ago shipped to her. It was 23 polishes as it is, didn't want to send all in one go, I had 60 of them sitting there. I thought if I have some sent now and see what happens with Stackry, then I have some to open now and then some later. I will wait until the end of July and if they're still not shipping, then ask her to send the rest to me.

I so wish I had someone to do that for me!

New mani is Powder Perfect Four Poster Bed:

 

[Mayanas]

Im looking a nail polish like this recommendations please.

 

[Anitacska]

Could you be a bit more specific? Do you mean the cream polish or the glitter one? What are they called?

 

[Anitacska]

Here's last Saturday's nail mail in all its glory. I didn't take pictures of the 5 duplicate EPs as I'd already done it when I received the first lot.





















So glad to finally have the spring ILNP collection. Summer one is on its way to me now too.

My current mani is CbL Young Turks and Tazmo Kramer, plus I added little dolphins last night (with YT). Excuse the chipping on my little finger. Imo YT is one of the best CbLs and a must have.

If you mean the glittery one, Zoya has some really nice polishes called PixieDusts. They are a little rough without a top coat but they wear exceptionally well.

Today is the first day that I feel even slightly human again, we had around 40 degrees for Friday, Saturday and Sunday and in our apartment it must've been around 45 in the afternoon/evening. I felt like a zombie.
Today it's 'only' 30 and I'm quite happy. But really, can we go back to 25 please? Please?!?!?! It's insane how the flat heats up.



Now THAT is EPIC nailmail!

How did you end up with duplicate EPs?

Are you in an EP group on FB? I haven't heard about this one, but I got an email that there's the possibility that I'll get the yellow instead of the coral holo because there was a mix-up. The posties are still on strike so I haven't gotten mine yet though they cleared customs over a week ago. *sigh*



Awesome! I'd be interested in your opinion of the Spell polishes. I've been eyeing some of them but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Oh that sounds horrible! Our house is like that too, no matter what I do, keep the windows shut all day with the curtains drawn, it heats up by the evening to the same temperature as outside. Then it takes forever to cool down. Last Wednesday was horrible, 36 degrees in the afternoon and it was well over 30 in the house, my younger daughter was crying at 10 pm she was still so hot. It's gradually cooled down luckily, today's it's only 23 degrees, which is just lovely. It's been sunny most days, just not as hot.

When I found out about Stackry not shipping nail polish abroad I didn't know what would happen to my polishes, thought most of them I could replace should worst come to worst, but didn't want to chance my EPs, so got them from Pshiiit too, except for Fairy which sold out too quickly. I'm confident I can sell them either on one of the FB groups or on eBay.

How annoying about the mix up. I ordered all 6, so hopefully she managed to put one of each in the package. Mine is still in LA, will probably be another week before it gets here. Yes, I'm in 2 FB groups and it seems there's several versions of Daydream. There was also someone who received the wrong polish and the EP woman told her to keep it and she'd be sending the correct one for free. So you might get lucky and get a free polish too!

The Spell polishes look really nice and come with little cards explaining the name which is totally unnecessary. The bottles are massive, although still only 15 ml. I should try and wear one soon.

Ugh, just looked at my USPS notifications and apparently they tried to deliver my ILNP order today, but didn't leave a card, so will need to go down to the PO tomorrow and see if they can find it. Oh and my MeiMei order appears to have been sent to the US, but apparently will be redirected. Oh joy!

The cream polish.

no the glittery one, the regular

 

[Anitacska]

The cream polish. no the glittery one, the regular

Do you know what the one in the picture is called? You could search for dupes that way. It's not a colour I would use, but I'd say OPI or Zoya might have something similar. They do lots of neutral creams.

Essie is also always a good bet for neutral cremes!

Picked up my ILNP package from the post office this morning. Luckily it was there despite the postman not bothering to leave a card. Apparently it's quite typical of him. Nice.









Today's mani is Darling Diva Violets Are Blue with Different Dimension Today Was a Fairytale on the accents.

 

[Anneri]

I got my EP order today! Finally!!! And lo and behold they indeed packed the wrong polish - not that I'm complaining a lot about it! Yellow wouldn't have been one of my choices though, but I'll try it for sure! Entwined looks a little blah in the bottle. We'll see!

I take it she's sending you the correct one for free though?

Yes, she will. At least that was what the last official email said. I contacted her with pics and hope she'll send it as soon as possible, because if this takes as long as the last package, I'll get my coral one when the summer is over.

Meanwhile I've detected the nice duochrome on Entwined and am more happy about it.

Fab haul, great mani and cute dolphins - a big pile of gorgeous!
