Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[BuickMackane]

I'm getting skippers remorse for AE Holy Grail...

I was really suprised by HG. I like it a lot, but I was hoping for a near dupe to Sparitual Electrum which I've been trying (and failing) to get hold of for ages. It definitely has some green in it, but not as much as I'd hoped. I'm sure Adina will sort out the RM issue soon and you can order it then. Even if she decides she is no longer shipping overseas there are plenty of US-based e-tailers who stock AE (I got this one from Overall Beauty when Kim had a 20% off sale on everything around Christmas).

Hehe. The Men In Polish collection had some great names. I have to admit I got Boned Invader mostly for the name. I have so many army greens already. But those are all creams and BI has a subtle shimmer that makes it special. There was also a polish called Anal Probe but I didn't get it because it was brown creme (what else could it be really?

) and brown cremes aren't my thing.

       no i my chauffeur one is like green. and i thing that budapest looks like BL sprog but lighter. but to be honest i prbably have dupes like you say hahaha 

Well, you like those sort of shades so I guess you won't mind dealing with a trickier formula (or having dupes). It's the same with me and chunky glitters 

Loved the spotty manis! The dots look so uniform too! What kind of dotting tool did you get? Check this one out by Amy (the brains behind Floam and a whole bunch of other gorgeous stuff):

This mani is gawjuuus. :eyelove: Gonna try something similar soon! My teal with green polkadots mani is still perfect and I'm way to busy to do my nails so it'll have to wait.

You wanted pics of my Overall Beauty haul? You'll have pics of my Overall Beauty haul! Albeit somewhat crappy ones. Hemera - BPM - Beat - African Queen Starry Starry Taupe - Grey Matter Alien Puke (it looks mustard here but it's a lot more green) - Boned Invader - Manipulative Martian Boom Boom - Ball and Chain - Stone Crazy. My camera doesn't handle blues very well so these babies look a bit meh here. Picture Polish Attitude 

 - AE Holy Grail (new version) BONUS! I picked up these MUFEs at Sephora last week because they were 70% off. I never tried MUFE NPs before so I thought I might as well give them a go. They're from the Black Tango collex.

NICE Especially Hemera, Starry Taupe, Boned Invader, Holy Grail. :eyelove: I didn't even know MUFE had NP. :haha:

...OMG, stunning, Buick!

The MUFE ones look awesome.I didn' t know they had such beautiful polishes

For CartoonChic, were you looking for this website: http://nagellacke.blogspot.com

Yes! That's the site. Thanks for finding it.

See Medgal, maybe a shelf system like that for your collection instead of the racks. I count 4 shelves. I like how she uses the top of each shelf as additional storage. I would probably do something like this for my collection, but I would go crazy with dusting. It's better for me to keep things stored away.

Wow Slimmycakes---that was pretty awesome. CC described this to me. I was able to read through the narrative pretty quickly.

The NP colors and setup was pretty nice too

To celebrate February I'm wearing Hare's Cast in Bronze. I put two a bit too thick layers, but it smoothed out just ok. The bronze glitter looks nicer IRL. Unfortunately my new phonecam sucks in close-ups so with the old one we go.

MRV this is lovely. My daughter is going glitter crazy. She recently decided that glitter NPs are her fav so I need to start getting her some---more, that is

 

[Medgal07]

It's February! Now I can buy Diors.

Is Tutu available in the US yet? I'd rather haul everything at once.

I've swatched Essie Mint Candy Apple and it leans more blue on me than green. I also swatched YSL Jade Imperial and it's like a dusty green. I'm going to pick up more YSLs this month too. February is the perfect time to share the love.

Indeed. CC---Here's to you and more NP in February

Yes, the open shelf/wall rack does call for a bit of dusting on a regular basis. I would consider something like that when we renovate our house next year. The plans call for a large walk-in customized closet, so what better time to build something like that in....as long as we don't divert too much space from my shoes & bags.

WOW!!! nice collection CC!! I saw ur album last night this sure is impressive!

TY! I'm sure she would like something like this since she is a glitter lover!

CC - WOW! What a collection!

 

[BuickMackane]

OK, so here's my dilemma.

I'm out of nail wheels so I need to order some. I haven't even swatched my RBL haul yet because I needed to start a new wheel! Thing is, I really like those swatch sticks because you can write the name of the colour on them. But if I get the sticks I'm going to have to reswatch my entire collection because I know I can't handle wheels and sticks. I know I can't because I couldn't handle having different nail wheels so I had to redo quite a few when I switched from the flimsy round ones to the sturdier oval acrylics. History has a funny way of repeating itself. Plus, I'm quite fond of my current nail wheel filing system [SUP]TM[/SUP] *cough*

What to do, dear residents of the NP thread? Stick with wheels or move onto sticks?
