Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Hello! Finally we're back on! Yay!

What browser do you two use? I use Chrome and the pictures aren't huge for me at all.

But I don't like the new layout and it's going to take a lot of getting used to. But at least we still have Specktra....

More importantly though, where did the sofa picture come from?

 

[Anitacska]

Okay, I've worked it out. Will get used to it eventually I'm sure. Let's see if I can upload a photo.



Okay, that worked. It's my recent mani (about to come off) with Zoya Dream and Essie On a Silver Platter, plus stars done with vinyls and Color Club Star Light Star Bright. Please ignore the botched up index finger. I ran out of time and vinyls to redo it.

Talking of Color Club, my daughter had to make a colour wheel out of objects for school, so she suggested nail polish and we used all CC polishes.



Today's arrivals (the November Paint the Rainbow box):



Otherwise, I've been single for 5 days and loving it! Although he's spent a lot of time here packing up his stuff and also kept coming back to eat and watch telly as he had no food in the flat and still hasn't got a telly. But this week is more normal now. Over the weekend we'll sort out the rest of the stuff and then done. And I'm off to IKEA on Wednesday to buy some Helmers and Alexes!

It's flipping cold here though and now one of the living room radiators is broken, it won't switch on. The one in my daughter's bedroom however, will not switch off (they all have thermostats, but it just stays hot). Seriously!

EDIT: Now my pictures are tiny.

I'm on Chrome too... They're not finished yet so we'll have to see how it ends up!

Very pretty mani!

Woot! Good times ahead!

Glad I'm not the only one with radiator problems lol I managed to get hot water running through it again, but nobody touches that valve until the new one is being installed!

If you click on the pics they get big!

Here's my mani
OPI You Calling Me a Lyre? With Nfu Oh NFU 48



I chose this for the opening of a new Tiki bar here because I was wearing a really loud dress

Thank you. Sorry to hear you're having radiator problems too. I hope I don't need a new one.

Pretty delicate mani.

Latest manis: Elevation Paris with DL Ray of Light



FF Genetic Memory and Spangled Starlight



Cadillacquer Footsteps Fleeing into Silence

These are gorgeous - I especially like Paris and the FF!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Current mani is Takko Cheshire Cat with ILNP Paradox (H).

Cold state


Transition


Warm with flash


Cold with flash

Nice! I especially like the flakey over it when it's purple!

I adore this mani, I'm a sucker for stars!
Novel colour wheel - but I bet you could have made a MUCH bigger one lol!¬
And this is the first RC box I'm really wishing I had bought - I'm taken with almost all of those, yet it was one of the boxes I fancied least!

Very pretty - if way too subtle for me! Regardless of how loud my dress is.... I'm not known for being understated!

Argh, so I haven't figured out to post pics from my mobile, I'm in an awful nailpolish slump and while I'm still wearing polish on my nails, the weather has been totally horrid for the last week. Plus, my mobile crashed and I lost a lot of pics. So.

Anyways, anyone know about some good Black Friday indie polish deals? I know that some brands do a sale, but I'm more interested in the re-sellers store ones. I know C4N has one, but I'm not really interested in anything she has (Anitcska, didn't you say that her EdM exclusive is a dupe for Pandore?).

I wanted to give a lot of thanks for all the manis and hauls you all posted, but well, there're no longer there.

Hi Anneri,

Yes, it's called Claire Bear. It only comes as a duo though with a Celestial polish, but that's pretty too.

I only know about C4N too, plus Glam will have an exclusive duo that I want to get.

I'm off to IKEA now!

 

[Anitacska]

Just a quick mani post as I've been so busy. Went to IKEA yesterday which was a 2.5 hour round trip (plus 1.5 hours spent there) and have managed to put the Helmer together, but still have the two Alexes to go. Also needed to go food shopping and do some washing and cleaning today. Argh!

Top mani is EdM Calibrated with ILNP Black Orchid on the accents stamped with Hit the Bottle Psycho Pink. Bottom is Pretty & Polished The Cat is Mad with Maybelline Knitted Gold. That pink is so pretty, but I adore the Maybelline!





Also, managed to pick this beauty up from someone on FB, got a great deal, although it's not completely full (90%), I only paid £25 plus postage for it, I've seen these go for $100+. The colour's completely off, it's so gorgeous irl.



PS. Does anyone know how we add multiple images? I have to keep adding them one by one.

 

[Anitacska]

Glam Polish also has the new December collection up at discounted price, I bought that and the new duo. Plus there's a 27% discount on their older shades with the code BFSALE.

Also C4N has 25% off sale with BLACKFRI25. New EdM and Powder Perfect also included. I think I'm done with my Black Friday shopping.

 

[Anneri]

I actually didn't get any nailpolish!!!!!! Somehow nothing strikes my fancy - I'd really like Redicalist (NCLA) that only C4N has in stock at the moment, and then some ILNPs, but stupidly C4N doesn't carry ILNP. The Hypnotic Nail offers were atrocious - 10% off! Pfft!!! So I got some Body Shop and L'Occitane stuff and am still whaffling on MAC's Black Friday lipstick and some Paula's Choice items. I shouldn't get np anyways - it'll be a pain to ship it all to China. Sigh...

 

[PearlyQueen]

I didn't realise RC knocked off early - sorry!

[PearlyQueen]

OK, so some manis! It's being balky so I'll do one per post and see how that goes...
Glam Polish Trinity

 

[PearlyQueen]

Glam Polish Sinister






This has loads of pink shimmer but it was subtle on the nail - I was shocked how much was there when I started stripping the mani off!
This also chipped fairly quickly on me (3 days).
