Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

Tried to buy the Sparkle & Shine Advent Calendar at midnight, it sold out while I was logging into Paypal to pay at 1 minute past midnight
Mystery polishes, so whatever, but wow it went fast!

 

[Anitacska]

Wow, this just gets better and better!

 

[Anitacska]

I really like the Femme Fatale, look forward to seeing it.
That's shocking, I was just reading that she also runs the Charity Box and Nailed It have pulled out of it for the future after this came out.

Yeah, and now in light of the fraud charges, people are wondering whether she donated to the charities as she was supposed to. Apparently so far she's managed to show about 8 receipts of donations, but seeing how good they are with Photoshop, who knows if any of those are legit?

She did two 2.5 hour live videos defending herself and her husband, saying how they are good people, they were just joking, and sort of apologising, but not really. What an absolute vile piece of trash! Glad I never bought from her.

 

[Anitacska]

I hate the polishes that don't tell you they're magnetic or thermal! I try to remember to put it on my spreadsheet! The first two manis are gorgeous!

I try to remember too, but sometimes I forget. Clearly this was one of those times.

Ugh, hate these kinds of restocks. PfD did a FTLOP box overpour on Friday, but since I wasn't buying the box, I didn't even bother to look, but apparently everything sold out very fast. I'm not planning on starting a new Stackry box until at least mid-November, so not even looking at these restocks.

Got a few more manis to share. First is Fair Maiden Halloween is Meowgical topped with Illyrian Polish Morning Star on the accents. These are both really pretty, but not Halloween-y at all, although this wasn't actually my Halloween mani.









Next is Different Dimension Mystery Prototype 253 with Girly Bits Hydra on the accents.







My actual Halloween mani was Tonic Polish Light Bringer. I hope you appreciate the huge amount of work I put into this mani!

I love all of these, Morning Star is adorable and i love the ghosties (and the Tonic!).

I ordered some of the new Nailed Its direct for Stackry delivery, she only went and gave birth during the pre-order! So I expect a delay!

How very inconsiderate of her!

 

[PearlyQueen]

So here are some long delayed mani pics! Pics are rubbish, nails are destroyed but they're finally edited!


This one's a bit weird, it was a metallic pinky red last time I wore it, it seems to have turned into a duochrome! Special FX 6.


Pahlish - Twelve Drummers Drumming, loved this - reminded me of how much I used to love this brand.
This is Nails Inc Greenwich Market topped with Nails Inc Glamour Glitter - a very nice combo, a lovely red. Sadly Byron decided to smash Glamour Glitter... I managed to rescue a small amount, but not a lot!

 

[PearlyQueen]

And my current one is Shleee Night Crawling:

Which is nice!

 

[PearlyQueen]

How very inconsiderate of her!

I know! She was doing early Black Friday to beat the birth, and it's also why the Advent Calendar was capped so low, but he spoiled all her plans by coming early!

Bloody children, messing up your plans, eh?

Oh dear, naughty kitty! I like them all, but especially the Pahlish.

Ooh, this is very pretty!

Got my Caronia nail polish brand from PH. Anyone's up for it?

 

[Anitacska]

What do you think of the new Glam collections? I like the multicolour flakie polish from the trio, but I swear the main collection is just the same old, same old. I think there's one that I might consider, but otherwise, meh. (Just as well though, I don't need to spend more, I've already got a long list for Black Friday.)

I can't say it impressed me - waiting for swatches though as they often look different. I agree about the multi flakie one, intriguing. I just had shipping notices for my open order though so they'll have to be worth opening a new one for if I'm going to buy anything. I don't have a long list of brands I plan to buy from on Black Friday, really just PfD at the moment, but that often changes once I get going! And once brands list what they're offering of course.

I don't have a long list of brands either, I'll probably only buy from PfD and EdM, but my lists are long for both brands, especially EdM.

I skipped HHC again even though I like the Different Dimension polish a lot, but with the shipping and consolidation fee it's just not worth it.

 

[Anitacska]

I have some mani pictures to show. First is Tonic Polish My Magic Wine. It was okay.









Next is Emily de Molly LE 23 with Emily de Molly Gilded Grove on the accents. They are very similar (and released at a similar time, so I'm guessing LE 23 might have been a prototype for Gilded Grove), but LE 23 has some holo and less flakies.







This is Lilypad Lacquer Good Girl Gone Bad with Urban Nail Art Moonwalk on the accents. The Lilypad is such a gorgeous purple, she used to make some really great holos. I don't really buy from her nowadays, I think she only does collabs and her polishes are always among the most expensive ones.







My PPU order has been dispatched, it's coming with Hermes, I hope they won't hold onto it for days again. The Glam polishes should be picked up today, I saw Kay post about it in the group. My Femme Fatales are en route to the group buy organiser. There are 32 of them, so I'm seriously thinking about driving to hers to pick them up as I really don't trust Hermes and it would cost me over £25 with the Royal Mail. She's about 45 minutes away which isn't too bad.
