Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Thanks, AWS!


A new mani's Enchanted September 2014 with some Glam Crystal Couture.

I adore this colour! And the heart looks lovely with it.

I thought the oops polishes were different from the monthlies. Oh well, it doesn't greatly matter. RC is restocking FF on Friday, I'll see if she has any oops polishes. Definitely want a good few from the Mad Tea Party. She's also restocking EdM and there's a few nice ones in the new collection.

Oh I don't even want to count how many I've bought lately.

The CbL fall collection is launching on the 15th (preorder), but some stockists have them already, incl. Hypnotic Polish and RC. I find that really odd actually, not that I'm complaining, but it's a bit weird.


Eh, to be honest I'm not very keen on the FM polish, the colour is just really not my cup of tea. I also hadn't heard of the brand before.

Thanks. I can't wait for the blue version to come to RC. The two fall collections are so pretty as well, I'll probably get most of them. And the Under the Sea ones. Glam is becoming the new EP, only it's more readily available. Although I was a bit cheesed off with her about the super LE 100K polish that she launched to thank her 100K IG followers, only she made it super LE and only available from her website (which for me is pretty difficult now with the very high shipping cost from Stackry). Luckily she also gave some to Mei Mei to sell and I managed to score one from her, but what is the point in that? Here's a polish to thank you for being a fan, but I'll make it super LE, so you won't be able to buy it!

Very pretty mani. I'm not a green fan generally, although I do like this sort of green. Don't have this one though.


I agree with you, how did that colour come out of the inspiration picture? I was expecting gold or something similar. I also love the Bear and the DML, the Lilypad is nice, but I really don't like the FM. To me it's just another orange holo polish and I already have plenty courtesy of EP.


Aah, so pretty! Must dig out my EP September 2014. Did you do the heart freehand? Very nice!

My current mani is Lilypad Lacquer Oceanic with ILNP Ice House (H) on the accents (over the Lilypad). I wasn't sure if they'd work together, but they do. The Lilypad is an amazing blue colour, really vibrant.

My first (of 2) Different Dimension order came yesterday. I have a bit of a buyers' remorse though as Quasar looks way too similar to Delta Aquarids. Different glitter/flakies, but the base colour is very similar. Oh well. They are all really pretty, love Space-Time (the green one).

I love those colours together, a beautiful mani.
The DDs look pretty too, I was especially taken with the green one when I saw the preorder going up, but they all look lovely.

Mei Mei has just restocked a bunch of Takkos if anyone's interested.

Thankfully nothing I want that I don't already have!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Interesting, take a wild guess what the name of the person I spoke to was.....

Thank you! It kinda worked, I do have a discount of 25 $ now. I'm really displeased with their customer service, I don't know. Maybe I am oversensitive because I worked in customer service myself while I was a student and we were drilled about the big NoNo's in regard to communicating with customers but their way of handling things and their tone leave a really bad taste in my mouth.

Ah, well, I will finally get my Fancy Gloss, Glams and Bears...there better be no broken bottles!

Pretty poor, I had to quote anitacska to get the discount too, you'd think they'd have a bit of consistency. However, glad they're on their way to you now.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Quick haul and mani pictures.







My current mani is Ciate Peppermiinty with Claire Shiver over it.

Nice! Love your haul too, wish I'd gone for the CbL COTM now, I love it.

So I don't need any more nail polishes. Like, AT ALL. But I've recently become obsessed with ILNP and their fall collection is up for pre-order and there's so many pretties. I'm having trouble deciding which ones to get, but I think I've narrowed it down to Spiced Eggnog and Maiden Lane. I'm trying to keep it to colors that I don't have anything similar to, which is hard at this point lmao

Aren't they great? It's been a long time since I remotely needed any NP but I have ordered 8 of these so you've done very well narrowing it down to 2!

I ordered 11, so even you did better than me!

 

[sullenxriot182]

I didn't do so good when the Ultra holos came out - I ordered almost all of those LOL. Their polishes are so awesome!

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks. RC still has TTTH in stock.

Not enabling at all.

I've ordered so much nail polish over the last two weeks, it's ridiculous. So this week I'm definitely not buying anything. But of course I've just had an e-mail from Beauty So Fly about their FF restock with an exclusive I don't have. Argh!

I can't remember if I said, I have two orders from C4N on the way and both their tracking has stopped in LA, one on the 26th and one on the 29th. Really hope the RM hasn't got hold of them, they have some store exclusives in them.

Oh and on that note, EP posted an update on IG and said that the pre-orders will start shipping this week. Guess we can expect the mystery monthlies soon, guessing it'll be September and October together.

Current mani is Different Dimension Whatever 2.0 with Darling Diva Love Don't Live Here Anymore on the accents. I expected the Diff Dim to be a bit more holo, and I remembered it to be more purple. Weird.

 

[PearlyQueen]

I have used one of my Nubars and it was fine. I have a few unworn, not sure if I'll risk them. Same with the Mentalities, I wore one a little while ago and it was fine.


It is very pretty! If you like, I can let you know when I'm next ordering from HP and pick one up for you. The shipping is quite pricey (10 euros) for just one, it only goes down to 5 euros after 100 euros order value. It probably won't be too soon, but I'm pretty certain I'll be ordering something from them in the near future.


Thank you. Yes, that green DD is gorgeous!

Thanks Anita, if you are shopping at HP let me know, I can't justify that postage which is why I skipped it!
I didn't realise RC still had the CbL, they have loads so I think I'll get one soon.
Oh I hope you get your C4N stuff safely, they've always been brilliant for shipping before.
I'm hoping EP wait a while before they do the next monthlies!
Nice mani, but definitely not purple!

Sure, no problem, I'll let you know.

Thanks. I've just checked my photo of the bottle when I received it and it was definitely a lot more purple. I've emailed her about it, we'll see what she says.

Also MRV, could you check your bottle and see if it's still purple? Thanks.

 

[MRV]

Mine's magenta.

 

[Anitacska]

Mine's magenta. :dunno:

Oh well it seems it's a faulty polish. Perhaps you could try emailing her too, if there's more than one person with the same issue, she might take it more seriously. Also if anyone has CbL Toga, check it, I've seen on the FB group that it's faded from purple to baby blue! I don't have that one myself.

If you mean Toga Toga Toga, it was one of the ones she did the refunds on back when they found fading with House of Blues etc.
It was from the Box Indied, so I didn't have it, though I did lust after it at the time it was released!
Good luck getting some satisfaction on your pink purple polish!

New mani is Takko Lacquer Createur:

New mani is Takko Lacquer Createur:

Pretty! What is the colour exactly?


I received today my first order from Pahlish. It came safely through (even though it was ridiculously undervalued!). Just noticed that their current collection has a Little Prince theme. I'm kind of a fan!

 

[Anitacska]

You got the 100K! Pretty mani! This combo kind of reminds me of Cadillacquer of something similar.


Thanks, PQ! I knew you'd like the red.


I also want that new exclusive, but there's another one that shows SO to me even though it should have been restoked (the first time I checked was right when the restock happened), so I'm not ordering now.

Oh no, I hope you will get your C4N mail. I just got a package from them last Thursday. It came rather quickly.


Pretty combo again (the DaDi looks very nice)! I did not even notice the change at first but it's clear there's one. I wore mine 10 weeks ago and my photo is much bluer than the colour of the polish atm. There's no way that it was then the colour it is now. I will try to remember to write to her.

Do you mean Sideshow Sparkler? I don't know if it sold out immediately, she did say she was restocking it. Luckily for me, I already have that one.

Thanks. Still no news on the C4N packages, but apparently they're going to contact USPS about it. Weird how both those packages stopped in LA. Meanwhile I've just received another Different Dimension package which was sent like a week ago.

I got a response back from DD: I apologize, I have not heard about this from anyone else and my original testers are still the same purple color. The batch of whatever 2.0 I am currently on is the batch from June so I will check it as soon as I return home and get back to you.
Perhaps if you contact her as well, she will be more willing to do something about it. I also saw a picture on Pinterest showing it to be the same colour as mine is now. And yes, I did look back at your mani picture and my bottle shot and they were both a lot more purple.

The Little Prince is my absolute favourite book in the world, but I'm not drawn to that collection. I think Pahlish and Elevation are two brands that make nice polishes, but not interesting enough to such me in. That said, I still want the EP East London.

My current mani is CbL Brother From Another Mother with Lacquerlicious Gut Feeling on the accents. Feeling very Halloween-y suddenly. Sadly the holo is lost in the black polish, looks like it's the same as the Texas polish PQ had on a while back.



My Different Dimension order:





These are all so pretty and sparkly!

Thanks MRV!
It's a black background with gold shimmer and holo - though in some lights the combo reads green, and when the holo is strong, the black looks more grey. An interesting colour!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Yeah, I knew about HOB, but not about Toga Toga Toga. The pictures on FB show it really light blue. Weird.


Nice mani!

My Different Dimension order:





These are all so pretty and sparkly!

I remember there was a huge fuss about Toga Toga Toga when the refunds were happening - she offered a refund if you'd bought from a third party, at retail value, and there were actually people who thought she'd refund them the fortune they'd paid to eBay scalpers, when she meant the RRP as a refund! Then because it was in the box, they wanted refunds on the full box price, not just part of it, because they'd only bought the set to get that one. It all went much more OTT than the issue with the single colours did.
Nice mani, but very... black! You're right, it reminds me of the one I posted.
Your new DDs are very sparkly, lovely!
By the way, I just had my EP shipping notice!
