Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Cute order! I didn't remember you'd ordered those toppers! I'm Not That Innocent is a very intriguing polish, look forward to seeing it on you in a few years!!! Yes, it's very annoying when you end up with things identical to what you had before, and it's so easy to do (especially if you have a "type" - red flakies anyone???).
Speaking of red flakies... are you ordering from the new collections? There's one there I must have, doubt I'll get more than that though. I bet you can guess which one floats my boat!
Don't blame you on the Alchemy, it's a lot when you add shipping and consolidation together for a single polish. I'm probably going to skip the EdMs for the same reason, I was also looking at some EDKs but ended up with a big Lemming order instead. I may go back to either nearer shipping time, but I've also got my eye on a few at RC so who knows...
At least my Stackry box now looks worthwhile (Sparkle & Shine box, 2 Lacquered UPs, 3 PPUs, 4 Polished Gamers, 12 Lemmings). I can squeeze a few more in there but probably not too many if I want to keep the value low enough to avoid customs!

I don't think I'll be ordering from Glam this time, but I do like the red one and the yellow/green one with the purple glitters from the Hocus Pocus collection. I'm guessing that's the red one you're after? If so, I'll put that on my swaplist instead. The other one is very unique, it's like I'm Not That Innocent with purple instead of pink. I don't think they'll be terribly limited, I'll probably get it next month.

I answered this days ago, apparently the internet ate it!
To recap - yes, red is the one, I'm a bit ... obvious? Welcome to a decant! And I hope you get the other next month. It will be Halloween Horror Shop won't it??? Just this minute realised, I am guessing the red one will not be alone for long, which is good really! This year I must bite the bullet and get in quick, the last two years I've slacked and missed stuff I wanted. Though I only remember one polish from all those disappointments so not exactly a disaster!

And here's my latest mani, Illyrian Polish Blueberry:

The last picture is probably the most accurate, love this one though. And it does get darker/bluer in different lighting.

Not obvious, it's a very pretty polish, as I said, I really like it too. I think I might get the other one this month, the more swatches I see, the more I like it and really don't want to miss out on it. I guess I'll probably want a few of the Halloween ones too, I usually do.

That's a pretty one!

A few of my latest manis, first is Emily de Molly Blur the Line. This was very thick, I had to thin it and even then it wasn't very easy to apply and it did chip quite quickly. Perhaps it needed more thinning. Very pretty though.





Next is Emily de Molly Fixed Course with Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe (2013 untried) on the accents.







This is Tonic Polish Fire Heart topped with Polished for Days Rainbow Scales on the accents. Both polishes are so pretty! Didn't actually go as well together as I thought, but never mind.

Got a few more manis, this is Polished for Days Hanaemi. Simple, but pretty.





Next is Different Dimension Mercury. I really liked this one too.







Finally, mycurrent mani (I've caught up!) is CrowsToes Celaeno (2013 untried) topped with Tonic Polish Down in Flames on the accents.

I like these too, especially Hanaemi.

Just ordered my one Glam, forgot to use the discount code (not worth a lot on a single polish, so I'll live!). And one of the polishes from my last Glam delivery is missing - I've emailed, but I was meant to have three delivered, thought they would all be in the same package, only got a package of two though.

I ordered the one Glam I wanted too. Hope they send you the one you're missing.

In you haven't seen it yet, Fair Maiden is the guest maker for next month's FTLOP box and the theme is butterflies.



I'm pretty sure I'll be buying this box.

Thanks Anita, I hadn't seen it - I only like one of these, so will be skipping this one. The PfD is gorgeous though! Bit gutted I don't like the other two.

Very underwhelmed by PPU this month. I must have the Nailed It, but other than the DRK there's nothing else calling to me at all. I may buy both or just the NI, not sure yet.

 

[PearlyQueen]

My latest mani is Nails Inc Maida Vale topped with Indigo Bananas SF35:

One of these polishes caused severe issues! I went to bed about 10 hours after I completed the mani, and still woke up with crease lines all over them - had to add extra coats just to get these picctures. Both are very old! But it does look nice.

Me too. I have 7 on my wishlist, but I'm pretty sure I won't buy all of them. I'll most likely buy the Pahlish, EdM, DRK and Night Owl topper. I knew you would want the Nailed It, it's very you. That said, most of the ones I want are purple, so who am I to talk?

It looks nice, but I really hate it when my polish crumples. I'd guess it's the Nails Ins, metallic polishes are prone to that.

I consolidated my Stackry package, just waiting for the e-mail, so I can pay for it. Not many polishes in there, but plenty of other things, so once again it won't be cheap. I just hope it won't get caught in customs, so at least I don't have to fork out on that too.

Good to know, I hadn't realised that. It's not a colour I'd normally pick, but somehow it feels nice and not as unflattering as I'd expected - and I'm sure that's all because I do like a good metallic finish, even if they do tend to be very brush-strokey (this one definitely was).

Fingers crossed! I'm now worried my Lemmings won't be there in time for consolidation time, I didn't suss that they have moved to a 4 week TAT during Covid, and I dithered, then was left waiting for a response to my queries for a couple of weeks, so I fear I'm starting a new box before the old one's consolidated. I was also disappointed that I managed to miss all of the limited edition GLLs that I was after - didn't realise the release date and all sold out.
