Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Shame on me! I can't place my combined Zoya-OPI-ChG-etc. order from my usual seller because I don't have 10 bottles on my wishlist yet! 10 bottles = free shipping. At least it used to be that way before the increase in USPS international shipping fees. Maybe I should e-mail them first and check.

Anyway, here's what I have on my list so far:
1. Zoya Julie
2. Zoya GieGie (or GeiGei or whatever it's called)
3. Zoya Piaf (can't do yellow cremes but maybe this will work)
4. Zoya Aurora
5. OPI Polka.com (I said I was going to skip this collection alltogether. Well, I lied

)
6. ChG Budding Romance
7. ChG Fancy Pants

I want Orly High on Hope and Peaceful Opposition but the collection isn't out for a month or so. I also love Nicole OPI Still Into Pink (hawt pink shimmer baby!

), which is one of their new shades for 2013 but I'm not sure if my seller has them yet. Plus, they're a bit on the expensive side ($13.50 as opposed to the $8 of the regular OPIs

Gah! Maybe I should get some jellies to use with my glitters and make jelly sandwiches. Zoya Paloma, Katherine and Frida look nice. OPI My Pointe Exactly would also work.

What to do? What to do?

I love the minis from the opi Central Europe collection. Usually the minis have stupid ones, but these are the ones I would have picked anyway. I just hate that they don't have their names printed on them

that is gorgeous!!


I don't think I'll ever catch up to half the colors you all are hunting down. except for some Holographic colors. I'm just trying to commit to sitting down and putting polish on. LOL

My daughter recently noted that my makeup and nail polish in particular are my crayola crayons...and she's correct. Love the colors...can't get enough. I'm trying to go beyond my penchant for more conservative hues in both areas, but I'm experimenting beyond my comfort zone.

I was just hanging out on tPF.. for over an hour... because those ladies over there take hauling nail polish seriously (well, they take hauling anything seriously). It made me realize being a woman, with a hobby at that, is pretty expensive. I'm now lusting to own a Dior or two, but I know I should stop while I'm still ahead.

how you guys manage to use thin brush applicator such as essie polishes? i don't seem to manage it without feeling frustrated after seeing it leaving stroke marks

i actually like thin brushes more than the thick ones like opi ones. but to be honest i dont mind once you do your nails almost every day, you dont care about those things. cause you get better and better at it.

i think that stroke marks havee to do with how much product you get on the brush and polish formula. not the actual brush itself.

That color looks gorgeous on you! I can see why you love pink so much.


@kimibos - Glad your A-Englands shipped.

@Buick - What did you decide to get?

@MACina - Love the China Glaze drawer. My solution, make a 2nd CG drawer! What are the white tops?

I just opened up an account at tPF last week for their Chanel polish thread. I stumbled upon it googling for Chanel swatches. I dare not go anywhere else outside of that thread!

I have definitely purchased more makeup (especially nail polish

I've been exposed to a lot more brands, colors and different types of polishes that I don't think I would've explored on my own. $5 China Glazes at Sally Beauty used to be my splurge. But I would've missed out on so many beautiful polishes that I really enjoy if I didn't go outside my comfort zone.
