I've been loving yellow, so how did I miss Pippa?

I have Zoya's Piaf, which has a shimmer to it like Channel's Mimosa. Do you have BL's Jasper & Cheeky Chops? If not,

get them!!!

The Essie polishes, well just great !

Essie holds a very special place in my heart. I just love them!

I'm going tomorrow for sure! Thanks for sharing. I was heading to Nordstrom in the morning for Archie's CPs. Nordstrom Rack is across the street and I've never been in one. Plus I have my new Nordstrom card too. It's on!

I'm drooling over those Essies. My polishes from Beauty.com are like the bottom row. I never thought to look in a TJ Maxx for polish. I try to avoid those stores. I've been in one a few times but start to feel anxiety after a few minutes. Stuff is all over the place and so disorganized. At least the stores are that way near me.

I despise grocery shopping and hate cooking. Have you thought about ordering your groceries online and having them delivered to you? I don't know if you have something like that in your area.

Yes, I normally buy from Beautyzone2007 too. And yes, I've got all the Color Club holos. I love holographic nail polish. My other favourites are duochromes. Nothing better than those two, except nail polishes that have both, lol.

I'm with you re: Scrangie. I love her nail shape and I find her swatches to be among the more colour accurate out there. I also like how she doesn't wax lyrical about stuff and lets the pics do the talking. Hers was probably the first nail blog I came across - she's the reason why I'm in this mess!

Vampy Varnish is another favourite of mine. There seems to be a problem with the site right now though.

Others I can think of off the top of my head are Kellie Gonzo, Polish or Perish, the Swatchacholic, Nails and Noms and Fashion Polish.


Yeah, I got that last night. I asked them to send it again. From what I understand my order wasn't destroyed (unless they like to destroy things at BOW PDO) so that should be feasible. Fingers crossed! Did you ask for a refund or replacement?


Beautyzone2007 usually has the new ChG collections, but sometimes it takes a few weeks after swatches start popping up for them to be available. Prices vary depending on collection but I don't remember her selling any ChG polish for more than $4. I bought a lot from her and never had any problems.

Have you seen Color Club's new holos btw? Those are listed already. Linky: http://goldenankh.blogspot.nl/2012/10/color-club-halo-hues-swatches.html


Sigh. I haven't got DV8 either. I have FYI, LOL, IDK and 2NITE from that collection. DV8 was already being sold for more than retail by the time I joined the party but the prices were nowhere near as insane. I stupidly decided not to get it because a lot of reviews mentioned big time chipping (which is, in my experience, indeed the case with OMGs)

I actually like the Kaleidoscope collection a bit better because there's less chipping. I have Octa Gone Wild, Let's Do It In 3D, Visit Me In Prism, How About A Tumble, Kaleidoscope Him Out and He's Going In Circles. The first three are my favourites.


If we're talking non-ChG vintage holos, my vote goes to OPI DS Glamour. Seriously, I'd sacrifice half my collection for that baby. I love it so much. DS Original is also lovely, but it's easier to dupe. ChG IDK is kinda close, but more linear. There's probably similar stuff out there.

As much as I would welcome some extra money I asked them to send the order again. I don't want to miss my polishes (even though I can hardly remember any more what I ordered). They said the package had been returned to them, so no destruction there either.
I have also IDK and L8R G8R. And I'm so getting all those holos the minute I become a lottery millionaire!

Here's a pic of the polish I'm wearing: Jindie Snow Angel. My hands look awful though. They are not really this red but they do suffer from the winter.



This reminds me that I bought a new bottle of Essie Good to Go last week. I figured it was decent after all because it was not that gloopy. I used it for one hand and noticed that they have changed the formula! It had a scent. And it also wrinkeled part of one nail (the first nail I had polished and def not the thickiest layers?).

I got an email from A-England about the shipping. Basically order numbers higher than 11600 were sent to their forwarder on Feb 6, who will ship them to Llarowe (for the US) and Le Doux Nuage (Europe) to deliver to us. Order numbers below 11600 are asked to wait 35 days from the shipping date to receive their packages.

My last two order numbers are higher than 11600, so I guess they'll be delivered in the next couple of weeks. My first order was lower and I already received that one.

Thanks for letting us know. I was wondering what they were going to do with my other packages. Glad they found a temporary solution.

Ye gods that's a beauty! I feel your pain re: winter hands. Mine are a mess too. Unless I slather them in hand cream 5 times a day they're all red and angry. The liquid soap we have at work is awful too. It's more like detergent. I took my soap free cleaning gel with me but I always forget and use the crappy one instead.

re: Essie GTG - I used it quite a while back and I remember it being pretty good. Why they had to tinker with a perfectly decent product is beyond me. I was gutted when Nubar did that with Diamont several years ago.

re: holos - Did you try any of the Ozotics and Glitter Gals? Hits also have some good holos, provided you can deal with the godawful brush and pungent smell (B3F's for wimps yeah!

)

Score! Today was a fantastic shopping day. I stopped by Nordstrom Rack today after hitting up Nordstrom for an Archie's CP (and got everything on my long list). I found the Olympic set and got it for $15. It's like getting 3 Butter Londons for the price of one.

Unrelated to polish, but I also used a Bath & Body Works coupon to get a good deal. I had to spend $10 to get a free Signature Collection item up to $14. The $14 item coupon seems kind of rare now since the limit is usually $12. I like their Fragrance Mists which are usually $14. I've been wanting the Red Fragrance Mist, but it's $22. They had the mini version of it on sale today for only $10. I got that to meet the $10 minimum, and then got another full size Fragrance Mist for free.

I also opened a Saks card while I was out. 10% off and there's a promotion for a free gift card depending on how much you spend. I think I'm going for the lowest level - spend $250 to get a $25 gift card. I think this is the perfect time to get my first Diors and more YSL polishes since I was already planning to get some this month.

YOLO! Time to dance.

WHAAAAAAT, they changed the formula of Essie's GTG?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

MRV, I want your mani. Badly! So.Much.Love.

US ladies, please enlighten me what Nordstrom Rack is. I've to be prepared for the big US shopping spree of 2013 in April!

 

[Naynadine]

Thanks to a lovely Specktrette I got a little bit of nail mail today. My first Orlys, Julep and a WetnWild polish.
And I also ordered my first YSL polish, Beige Leger, can't wait to play with all of them.

Wait, what?? Where does it say that? Nooo!

 

[CartoonChic]

Um, am I missing something? Has Sephora stopped selling Dior nail polish? I can no longer find them on their site. I know I saw them last month because I was getting my list together. I wanted to compare them to Saks inventory so I could buy colors that Sephora doesn't carry.

It's like a "discount" store of Nordstrom merchandise. Old inventory and last season items. Today was my first time going into one.

Thank you, CC!
