Wow, what a lot of lovely detail in this mani!

 

[PearlyQueen]

New mani - Powder Perfect Monsoon:


My camera thinks this is blue, when it's quite clearly green - I tried natural indoor light, halogens, outdoor light - nothing worked!

Green or blue, it's pretty regardless. I find that if I adjust white balance to sunlight or cloudy, that tends to help with colour accuracy. ut some colours are just difficult to photograph. The Lilypad I'm wearing isn't as blue as it looks either.

 

[MRV]

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.

Pretty combo!

Likewise!

Sorry to hear about your pedi. We don't really have that kind of pedi polishing services here. And a few years ago when I had a pedi and they asked if I want same polish on my toes, they just had a few crappy polishes and not even a clear one I wanted!

 

[Anitacska]

Thank you! Ah, you got some Gorelovas. They are actually really nice, but I've managed to get just one. Hopefully I can get some more. Nice mani! I have a few pearls but not this one.


Thanks, PQ! It's quite nice.

Thanks again, PQ! The AE is lovely, it has this light inner glow to it. Love it.


Aww, sorry you don't like it, I think it looks just lovely.


Thanks, maybe you should!

Cool! Going to London?


Pretty combo!

Thank you. Yes, the AGs are really nice. I liked the look of a few more, but left them for now.

My current mani is Mentality Orgasmic with Ethereal Lacquer Spotted Snow. The Mentality is one that definitely looks better in the bottle, it has a purple sheen to it that hardly shows up on the nails. Plus my camera point blank refused to pick up the little that shows up.

Looks really nice! I feel your pain though, I've been having the same problem of late. Like my current mani, Illamasqua Collide (which should be a juicy neon pink, but looks rather reddish here) and FF Do It for Twinkles (Anitacska, DIFT is still available), the colour of which is also off.



Here the shade is closer to irl, but it's brighter/more intense irl:

Thanks [@]MRV[/@]! Wow, really?

Thanks, Fuzzy! We have a nice temperature, 23-24 C, although last week the humidity here was also crazy.


Thanks, again!


Pretty!

Great mani! yeah neon type colours tend to get blown out on my phone esp. orange

Tiny haul:

A new nail polish corrector pen- I've killed all the tips from my old one, Misa - Lash Out & Emily de Molly - Hardware

 

[Anitacska]

hopefully the thunderstorms over the next couple days will cool it down a little, or at least keep the sun off my windows for a short bit! lol

Thanks!

Thanks! The Tummy Time is all of the detail, so many different glitters in the same bottle!

Nice mani!

Pretty mani! Your nails are looking nice and long!

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, they have been very long by my standards, I even had to file a couple down a bit! I don't really know why, I've been using OPI Nail Envy for 3 months, maybe that's helped. They're also peeling a lot less. I did break one on my right hand a little while back, but the rest have been fine. Oh well, give it time, they will break, hahaha.

Nice little haul. The EdM is really pretty.

Rescue beauty longer is having a half price sale just for today! http://www.rescuebeauty.com/index.php/nail-polish.html?limit=all

 

[Anitacska]

Today's mani is Ciate Sugar Plum with Chaos & Crocodiles Epic Snow Day. I know it's more of a Christmas topper, but who cares? Besides, only 4 months to go now until Christmas!

Pretty combo and totally suitable for this time of the year!


My current mani's FF The Secret of Secrets. I've been waiting to wearing this one. It's really complex, flakies and glitters in kind of a iridescent coppery base.

I gotta say, if you get the possibility: GO into H&M and check out the 3 or 4 duochrome polishes they have in their new beauty line. This is Purple Aura!

Ooh this is very interesting. I may pop into H&M sometime soon. There's a small one in this town, but they might not haves many nps.

Possibly my last pedi of the year (it's getting quite cool now), Girly Bits Ho-Ho-Hope. The picture isn't great, it's a much prettier colour irl.



My small haul from RC, these are 3 of the exclusive Lilypads. Love the new bottle design!

 

[LoriQ]

Very pretty!

I love this look! If any of you can give me some suggestions I would very much appreciate it. I have trouble polishing my nails with opaque nail polish. It comes out all streaky and not very even. Can anyone give me some suggestions please? Thank-you!

 

[Anitacska]

It's been very quiet here. How is everyone? Hope you're all comfortable. It was very hot here yesterday, but now it's much cooler and it's raining. So I'm guessing that's the end of the summer here.

I've been really naughty lately and placed several orders, including some Different Dimension shooting stars polishes, the new Color Club holos, some C4N exclusive Lilypads and Cupcakes and some of the new CbLs and Funs from RC. Oh dear.

I also received my Dollish Polish order, really wanted the LE trio (on the left) and picked up a few others as well while I was at it, hahaha.





Here are my recent manis, first one is Revlon Wild (I got this in the US in April) with some wonky swirls with GOSH Frosted Soft Green textured polish. The vinyls were very hard to use, I ended up wasting 7 to get 4 fingers done.





The second one I'm really pleased with though, it's CbL Legion of Boom with KBShimmer Let's Get Star-ted and some stamping.





It was my younger daughter's 11th birthday on Wednesday and we watched The Little Mermaid while I painted her finger and toe nails and they turned out really well. It was such a nice thing to do, she's the only one who shares my love of polish,she already has a nice little selection herself.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Yeah, I totally understand that. I always hide away with my stuff if someone's home.

I'm completely opposite at the moment, trying to buy everything I really fancy while I can, since when hubby moves out, he wob't be funding my np purchases anymore. Of course he doesn't know he's funding them right now either, I try to be discreet. I am also trying to buy a bit less anyway as I have far too much.

Hahaha, don't worry, I just thought the Glam would be your thing. Actually HP isn't that expensive to buy from atm due to the low euro, the 10 polishes cost £82 incl. delivery.


Thanks.

She did say that if you want to combine shipping for the box and stuff from the shop, she can do that and refund the extra £1. Obviously you'd have to wait until the box ships, which will now be September because the first 80 sold out pretty quickly and any more she sells now will only be shipped in 2-3 weeks. But I guess, like me, you're not exactly short of nps in the meantime!

Green or blue, it's pretty regardless. I find that if I adjust white balance to sunlight or cloudy, that tends to help with colour accuracy. ut some colours are just difficult to photograph. The Lilypad I'm wearing isn't as blue as it looks either.

I've decided to skip the RC box, can't justify the expense when only one of the polishes is really tempting me. Let me know if you don't want the Bear when you receive it!!!

Pretty colours and a great combo! (I like it even better in the inaccurate colour pic!)
