Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[BuickMackane]

I rather like BI and all the greens you got! Men+polish makes me think of a male colleague who I tease about nail polishes for men. He always says: Such thing does not exist!

Well he is FULL OF FAIL!!! They exist! If he refuses to take your word for it get him this:

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?

I think you should stick to nail wheels because you have so many already. I'm going for the sticks, I really like the system.

NICE

Especially Hemera, Starry Taupe, Boned Invader, Holy Grail.

I didn't even know MUFE had NP.

Neither did I

. I don't remember seeing any before at the MUFE stands in Sephora.

You're welcome for finding the site. But ALL of that Chanel polish in about 4 months? Looking at the pictures all I see are $$$ signs. Very Impressive.

Grrr I want my CG's so I can order some Avant Garden ones from the same seller.

No :haha:, a different one. Never ordered from him/her before but it was the only seller who sold Lorelei's Tiara for a normal price.. and because of the shipping problems I need my package to arrive first before I can order again from this seller (so far the only one who sells the Avant Garden CG's separately and not as a set). I want to order a few Avant Garden ones and a few older ones.

Bed Bath and Beyond have a surprisingly large selection of the latest Essies and they're cheaper than $8

@Kimibos are they instore. hun please tell me how much they are, dont let this addict hanging in the air like that!!!! i must know how much they are so i can RUN to check them out!!!

I almost missied this kimibos----yes they are in-store and I think they might have been $7. They had the latest collections too. I couldn't believe it. I also learned that not all BBBs carry cosmetics so confirm that before you go. I thought that was odd too, but they said it depends on the area. Go figure

Wow CC!! I salute you

. That's a lot of $$$$$$---like a down payment on a luxury vehicle---I think I'd rather have the Chanel NP collection. It's so amazing. I love it CC

I got my Julep February box today with Rebel and Ginger which are holos and Ingrid and Julianne cremes. i also got a new treatment they have with oxygen? and their new top coat. i think honeyonboost mentioned it. its call the freedom polymer top coat. im pretty sure its just some seche vite or out the door, which doesnt have formaldehyde. its 14.40 for .27oz/8ml in discount already so im not going to but it again. but hey thanks julep for giving me one free!

Hmm, tricky, I can see your dilemma. As you know I have the sticks, and I love them. As well as being able to write the name on, you can rearrange them however you like, and put any two colours side by side for comparison. Can't do that with two colours either side of a wheel! I'm also using the full length of the sticks to experiment with layering combos: painting stripes of different base colours all down it, then adding a single colour over the top. I've just done that for the first time a few minutes ago, but it might be a useful 'official' addition to my swatch collection. OTOH, as you already have a system you're pretty happy with it seems a bit silly to change.

Now for confession time. I picked up my first Butter Londons today. I found some of the Holiday 2012 Lips and Tips sets in TKMaxx (discount store) for a really good price, so I couldn't resist. They're all glittery shades, and I'm not so keen on glitter in my lipgloss but it was still fairly cheap for the polish alone. I got Frilly Knickers (the only one with a gloss I'll wear), Shambolic and Fiddlesticks. They also had some OPI Skyfall magnetic polishes - didn't even know they existed! I passed on those though.

I think for me it's the Diors (Spring Ball) and the DL ones ( Do the Mermaid and Rockin Robin)!

I need Dior's Tutu first, to complete that little collection. Then I can consider EL's French Nudes collection, and move on from there.

I never thought of that! Good idea!

How do you store the sticks? The reason I ended up with my filing system is that the wheels sometimes ended up sticking together when I stacked them, even though I made sure they were dry. To be fair, that's probably because I use top coat on my nail wheels. By which I mean a top coat that takes a while to dry (long story - stocked up big time on my beloved Nubar Diamont, oblivious to the fact that they had recently switched to a Charlie Foxtrot of a new formula. No way I could wear that atrocity on my nails, so I decided to slather the darn thing on my nail wheels instead).

Enjoy your BL goodies. And give Shambolic and Fiddlesticks glosses a chance! Who knows? You might even love them

Thanks for the compliments everybody. I see $$$ too. That's one of the reasons I'm cutting back my makeup spending this year.

<--- I'm using this to show I'm trying to save money!

Buick, I don't have any new Chanels in the mail yet, but I do plan to order some more this month and from future collections. Funny how I saw that right after I talk about saving money.

 

[CartoonChic]

Woah! That is one heck of a Chanel collection.

I'm impressed and a teensy bit jealous!


Love that dotty mani, such a great colour combo.

This is a great idea! Can you post a pic if it's not any trouble?
