Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[CartoonChic]

I love that combo Anneri!

Gosh, another great haul jennyap! I know I don't need Butler Please and Where's My Chaffeur, but dammit, I want them! Indian Ocean is to die for, I have that one. Great swatch spam too?

Thanks honeyonboost! I think the little Hits bottles are just so cute. It's a shame the brushes can be a mixed bag.

BuickMackane I must have more Phenomena glitters! If only Ozotic didn't discontinue the Elytras

How many polishes do you guys have? My collection is sitting around the 750 mark

but I'm trying to work through my untrieds and clear out some stuff at the moment!

at 750. I just counted 163 in my stash. I don't think that's a lot. It also doesn't seem like that many when I look at the bottles.

Like littlepickle and honey on boost I had the urge for something sparkly and something dark, and so this mani came to life:



Sorry for the pic spam, I just love it so much!

It's so pretty...glad you shared!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Dunno about the fluffy Ghostbusters character, but I noticed the puking emoticon in my crap mani post was a bit static for a while. It just sat there looking all green and uncomfortable. Then it went back to its usual vomity self.

Both must have resulted from network difficulties!

- Fairy Lights - Olympic Set
- Spring 2013 colors
- Nude Set

I still don't have any Essies or Diors yet, but I'm working on it. Lol, can I count OPI if I only have one?

I thought for sure you had taken the Dior plunge! No Essies. Be still my heart. There are some wonderful NP colors in the brand. Of your list above I have Trout Pout, Cream Tea, Knackered (green , Wallis & Tea With the Queen. Today I banished my polka dot mani for Trustafarian, which I've had even before joining this thread. I love its softness, and I was able to create a serene green eye look w/ one of the MAC holiday Fabulousness eye kits---surprisingly nice pairing & outcome.

 

[Medgal07]

Just gorgeous littlepickle---love the pics! Please keep em coming!!!

Oh my gosh I am lusting after Let's Go Crazy so much. I might have to snag a bottle from the Bay of Evil!

Thank you so much for all the welcomes everyone!

Naughtyp I adore Butter London too. I only have a handful of them though because the NZ retail price is $30.90

My biggest stash is China Glaze, closely followed by Kleancolor & Color Club. I wouldn't say Kleancolor are my favourite, but they are so cheap and have so many unique colours (mostly the glitters)!

Buickmackane - that is a pretty sweet avatar you have there

Cute mani medgal! Looking forward to meeting Cartoon Chic. Dragon has been a lemming of mine for so long. I can only conclude we all have amazing taste!

Here is my current mani - sorry for the spam, it's hard to narrow down the photos with colour shifting glitter!

Hits Phenomena Moonbow, 2 coats over black.

 

[Medgal07]

Lol, come on guys! I'm trying to have some willpower.
kimibos, you found Poshe at Sally's? I still haven't made my way to the store yet. I did a mani yesterday with Chanel Rose Confidentiel. I used the Beauty Secrets top coat just to give it another try and the drying drops. I had to wash my hands about an hour later and my nails were ruined. I patted my hands dry, but still got towel prints and smudged nails. I had to leave and didn't have time to change it. I still wore the color for a day so I'm crossing it off my untrieds list!

That's just so sad CC

. I hope you find a combo--top coat & drying agent that really works for you!

 

[Medgal07]

Totally! i got my np i was jonsing over at least lol. But this is taking away from my makeup hauling too dammit! lol ugh i hate cars sometimes tho lol

I'm attending an Archie's Girls event Feb 5th & told my husband that my haul will be my Valentine's Day gift. I think he was relieved that he now doesn't have to think about what to get me or go shopping for it!!!

I know I have more than 200 and I'm positive it's less than 400. If I continue on this thread, that could change very quickly. I'm trying to focus on the untrieds too.

Awesome! im going to the event on the 5th too! =D my bf is out of work =( so i will be buying Archies for myself lol.

Speaking od Archies, no one really seems to care about the np over in that thread. So i will ask if any of my fellow np addicts are planning to get any from the archies set?
I want the coral betty one ( not like i need another coral but hey!) and the berry Veronica one. More for collectors sake than the colors.
Is that silly?
I want the 3 np in Baking Beauties too I think. The mint one for sure, maybe the pink and periwinkle. But i have a lot of pastely cream polishes i just bought...........and a lot of blue pinks and periwinkles. We will see!

Yeah, they're very glittery. Definitely not to everyone's taste. The godawful removal is only worth it if you really love your glitters.

I'm going to get at least one Betty polish, and BB's mint and periwinkle are on my mind, too!

 

[Anneri]

I will skip Archie. That's a first, ladies and gents! *bows*
I also will have to seriously cut back on the np spendings, seeing all the awesome MAC collections we'll get in the Spring!

I really hope that my np will arrive today. But we had some ice rain yesterday (the airport had to close down) and snow today, so I somehow doubt it. Meh.

HERESY!!! Burn the witch!

Hope you are united with your NPs today. I have so much stuff I should have received by now it's not funny.

[Anneri]

....wow!

I feel very accomplished!

But hey, the money goes back into MAC in April... *groans*

 

[MACina]

.......April is going to be crazy

Fortunatly there will only be the Mineralize Lipsticks Collection in March....a tiny little break LOL

I feel very accomplished!

But hey, the money goes back into MAC in April... *groans*

 

[Anneri]

For me, the break will be February and March - do you buy your MAC in Germany? Because we'll get Archie in March. February ist Strength (thank God I've got my items already) and the brow thingies. And I think they will spring something on us for March that we don't now about yet - because only one collex?! Unheard of! *g*

 

[Anneri]

Look what the postie just brought:



Finally!

Still waiting for the OPIs, though - they come from a seller in GB too and where shipped before the a-englands. Strange.

 

[MACina]

....stunning haul, Anneri

[BuickMackane]

No NPs in the post for me. Jeez. I'm getting super worried about my BB Couture haul now. And my NARS Pokerface which was shipped on December effin 26th!

Anyways, today's mani was 2 coats of OPI What's With the Cattitude topped with Sephora Chaotic, which a dear friend and colleague brought back for me from her short stay in NY (yay for conferences!). It's almost a dead on dupe for Lynderella Join the Dots. There was a bit of a glass file massacre shortly before this mani came to life, so my nails look like those of a 10-year old. Which is pretty much business at usual as far as I'm concerned.

What was I saying? Yes, mani: With flash:




And another pic, blurry but a lot more colour accurate:
