Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Yes, those are the current colors, the light grey one was discontinued.

It's one of the C4N exclusives, Araminta. I actually got it yesterday, and the shipping notice came last night.

Well, that explanes it. I probably was not buying KBS yet in 2013.

Thanks! Yup, I've also been picking up just some of them.


Nice! I like how glowy they look. I should finally try out watermarbling, too.


I've also fallen off the DL wagon. There was a local e-shop that closed down, and since the foreign companied do not ship here any more, I'm not able to get them easily.


Thanks! I might grab a bottle, the yellow or the pink one perhaps, not that I'm a fan of HK or anything such.

Speaking of OPI: I was surprised to see that the Venice collection has landed here. Nothing special though. The light blue and lavender look nice of course but I think I already have 10x those colours, but I might be interested in the terra orange one.

Thanks, PQ! Yes, Melange is a very nice 'antique' green.

I like to keep things organized. Although some people might not see that as one of my vertues.


My current mani is Cadillacquer It's Going to Happen Again.



Oh, and finally some good Mac news: some items emerged on the net and I was able to test out the Fix+ testers at the counter, and on Friday I hear something is finally coming out after three months of no-show!

So here I am admiring another Caddillacquer mani, very pretty!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Thank you.


Thank you!

I'm going to pass on the OPI HK collection, I'm not a fan of HK (don't hate it, just not a fan) and the colours are a bit meh.


Yay indeed! And Lilypads too! Oh and the box is going to be £45 and will be available for pre-order from 8 pm on Saturday 15th until the 25th. Just sayin'...


Thank you!


Thank you. Have you had your Stackry hostages shipped yet?


Lovely mani. I don't have this Cadillacquer.

Thank you. I was very happy with the OPI Color Paints and the watermarble.

Aah, I've thought about getting the C4N exclusive Cupcakes, but decided not to in the end. Trouble is, there are too many pretty polishes and not enough money / time to wear them. I have a ridiculous amount of polishes now, won't even be able to use them all once in the next 5 years!

That said, I'm still buying them. Just received my Hypnotic Polish order today and also bought a couple of Revlon polishes when I went shopping (alone, for the first time in forever). In my defence they were on offer.

Just adore those Bow Polish boxes! And the colours are amazing too.

And here's my mani, Lilypad Lacquer Mother of Pearl with Jindie Nails Guns & Roses.

That's a pretty haul, the Bows look good, I was tempted... I've also been eyeing the middle Anna Gorelova one! Pretty mani too!

 

[PearlyQueen]

I think I'm finally up to date! Sorry to anyone I've not answered, that was a bit of an epic task - note to self, keep up to date at Specktra, or it will take days to catch up! It's been a busy week here by the look of things!

Just posting a mani for now: AE Captive Goddess, which has a very nice glow to it, with some EP East London.

Very pretty - I nearly got this one, but I'm not really in love with A-England (though her kitty is the cutest!) so I resisted. Really lovely on you though!

 

[PearlyQueen]

My last mani was Different Dimension HO3:




Another red holo that isn't red...
I'm disappointed with this one, I only bought the box to get this polish and though it's OK, it's not as special as I'd hoped and it really isn't a red as advertised.

 

[PearlyQueen]

The purple and teal EPs are the ones calling me - though I love the topper too, I don't know that I need it. The pink's not my thing at all.
Yay about Stackry - though I've had a few more issues with my shipment as the lady I usually deal with in CS has been away - they shipped just one package that they'd been holding, the one I tried to check out previously, and sent it to my old office address too. They didn't contact me at all before they did it, and ignored all my emails about consolidating the shipments on hold to come together. They did ship that one free though. They've told me I need to go and fill in the details on the other packages and request consolidation as usual, but no offer of a discount. I really need to go and do that today, and maybe I'll quote what they gave you to CS once I get the invoice. I've been sooo busy recently, I haven't got round to sorting it all out yet.
I see the RC box has now been quoted at £45, I really fancy the Bear, but I don't know if I'm going to go for it or not, I really shouldn't be shopping while I'm still jobhunting and £9 each for the mystery polishes is steep.

I've sorted out my Stackry now, hopefully I'll be seeing those pretties soon!
They didn't offer me a discount, so I asked for what they'd given anitacska and they went for it, so thanks Anita!

Good, glad to hear you've sorted it. Please post some haul pictures, haven't seen any from you in ages.

I tried my hand at some nailart, it's getting better but not as crisp as I want it to be!

 

[Anitacska]

Very nice. Still way better than I could do.

My current mani is Lilypad Lacquer Clover All Over with Hare Polish Why So Igneous? I think they work well together.





Just ordered the EPs, placed 2 orders in the end, don't want to get caught.

Also ordered the Rainbow Connection box and 3 of the exclusive Lilypads. Busy busy busy, hahaha.

Nice theme!

 

[awickedshape]

My first pedi in months. Tried a very posh place and the end product was mediocre. Used my own polish::OPI Samoan Sand

 

[Fuzzy]

Yay Anitacska!
I found the new generation of 'watercolour' polishes really great to marble! Every other polish - not so much. lol

ICL - sorry, it's soooooo long ago that I got some DLs! I'm totally out of the loop.

Just wanted to share the OPI Hello Kitty promo pics. http://imabeautygeek.com/2015/08/12/opi-hello-kitty-collection-2016-sneak-peek/
The colours may be generic, but I'll get at least one because I love HK and I want a bottle.

Also, speaking of kitties - at Tinykittens.com there's a new kitty mom with adorable little kittens! (I'm totally guilty of spending the afternoon watching them.)

Haha! I've been watching so much kittens, Tip is a great mommy cat and Sisko the feral mama on her other cam is doing well too!

Nice! the glitter in the Hare matches up nicely with the Lilypad

Sorry that place didn't go so well!

I do pretty much everything myself because I figure if I suck at doing something at least wasn't expensive lol

 

[Fuzzy]

And now my mani... Nfu Oh JS22 2 coats, Nfu Oh JS23 1 coat, Enchanted Polish Tummy Time 1 coat

 

[Anitacska]

Great mani, very pretty blue!

Nice to hear that MAC is finally releasing some of those collections over there!

Great haul!

Pretty mani, I really like Guns & Roses!

Nice mani! I have Captive Goddess on my list to get at some point... whenever that may be lol

Pretty mani! sorry it wasn't as red as described


Good job! I like the Union Jack and the transit map nails best!

Nice! the glitter in the Hare matches up nicely with the Lilypad

Very nice mani!

 

[awickedshape]

[@]Fuzzy[/@] and [@]Anitacska[/@], it sucks a bit lol I really wanted to treat myself and try that fancy place (gorgeous decor, oh, my) and do the paraffin, really treat myself, but, alas lol

 

[PearlyQueen]

I was happy when I realised I could save some of it. 5 ml is all I'm ever going to need anyway.


That's annoying about Stackry. Were you able to pick it up from your old workplace? At least shipping was free...

Yeah, I would've preferred £40 to £45, but I'll still get it. She's also launching Lilypads, she has 5 exclusives, really like 4 of them. It never ends.


Thank you. I love the holo versions too, but the non-holo ones are even better.


Thank you. I was very pleased. I only did 4 nails, but didn't waste that much polish. The mini bottles are still 90% full. And since I'm only ever going to use a polish once or twice, it's not an issue for me.


Thank you. And not the Glam? Cancer is so pretty (Hypnotic Polish exclusive).


Glad to see you're back. I was wondering where you'd got to.


Aaw, this is so pretty. Maybe I should get this.


I know what you mean, I have this too and it's not that amazing. It's pretty on you though.


Good, glad to hear you've sorted it. Please post some haul pictures, haven't seen any from you in ages.

I will try to post some pics when they arrive - I feel really guilty about anything I buy since I lost my job and with hubby always at home, I don't like flashing new bottles around too much! My friends at the old office are holding the delivery for me, so I'll pick that one up soon.
Didn't mean to disparage the Glam, I love it too of course, and with it being my birthsign one I was very tempted by it too - though I have similar, and Hypnotic aren't the cheapest place to buy! Not that I do astrology anyway!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Really creative, I like the theme - especially the idea of doing the underground map!

They do work well together - very nice individually and together.
I managed to resist buying all 4 EPs, though the topper is really pretty and I may regret skipping it.
I'm still thinking about the RC box - £46 inc postage is a lot for me just now, and not being able to use my points or add the couple of other polishes I want from them to the order is putting me off. I only REALLY want the Bear from it, a couple of the inspiration pics are not really calling to me, though there are a couple of new brands I've been eyeing up for a while. I'm feeling very indecisive! I wasn't overly drawn to the Lilypads, though I loved the bright purple one - one of the items I'd have liked to add to an order. I know it's only an extra £1 to ship separately, but it just annoys me slightly!
