Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[BuickMackane]

Btw the price of shipping went up so now for Beautyzone2007 international shipping is: first bottle $5,00, second bottle $3,25.

Actually that's not so bad compared to other sellers. How much Beautyzone's shipping charges were prior to the USPS price increase? $4.50 + $2.50? Any kind of increase sucks, of course, but it could have been worse.

Btw, which Dutch websites carry ChG?

Could you also send me a PM? I just realized I've paid the same price on eBay (also Beautyzone2007) as I would've on a Dutch website! Btw the price of shipping went up so now for Beautyzone2007 international shipping is: first bottle $5,00, second bottle $3,25. :barf:

Enchantra and Boozyshop, there are more websites but I pretty much only buy (non-MAC) MU/NP from those websites (and Alice & Jo) so.

I remember buying Cult Nails Let Me Fly from Boozyshop and some Strangebeautiful cubes from Alice & Jo. But that was years ago. Looks like we might need to start looking closer to home with all the shipping restrictions and price hikes.

The whole world is conspiring against us!

Uhu :meh:

Today's mani was Barielle Polished Princess. Nothing like a bit of old school green shimmer! Not your bog standard green shimmer, mind. This is the Kermit falls in toxic waste barrel kind. Love it!

V nice!

Mine's a few days old now, but I can't post without adding a picture, so here's Essie Leading Lady. I've just this evening had my very first attempt at nail art and added a (badly drawn) heart to my ring finger especially for Valentine's Day LOL!




I discovered purely by chance today that a friend of mine has a 500+ NP collection. She made a comment about my mani, and that she'd noticed I'd been wearing lots of nice colours lately. I said I had quite a few untried polishes so I was making an effort to work my way through them, then lovely hubby started saying "Lots. Hundreds." and miming a huge pile. I said "Less than a hundred" and she chimed and said she has 500 and made me look good by comparison, ha! Turns out her daughter used to be a nail tech but doesn't do it anymore, so she passed all her NPs on to my friend. Of course I'm now dying to have a root around in her collection to see what she's got

I'm really lemming those Color Club holos now. Anitacska, have you ever bought anything from tiffanynailsupply.co.uk? They have these for £6.50 each with free UK postage at the moment which seems comparable to Beautyzone2007...

Love both manis ladies. You make me want to just browse and buy nail polish. In fact, I was ordering some NARS Light Reflecting Pressed powder at Sephora and I got mugged----by some nail polish! I was jumped by two Illamasqua polishes. It got ugly---they jumped right into my cart. Try as I might, there was just no stopping them! Now I know how defenseless CC feels!!!

Which ones jumped into your cart?

Corally, it was disgusting! They were pushing and shoving! Only the strong survive....Gamma (bright orange) and Speckle (Lilac w/specs) made it in.

I want Speckle! Actually I want all the Imperfection polishes but I will never spend €16 on a np. (Well, I hope.) And I don't think these will make it to the sale.. Booo

I enjoy looking t these but I doubt I'd ever try them!

Same, it looks gorgeous but I doubt that mani will make it till the end of the day.

at all the manis, kimibos.


Hilarious, Medgal! Who knew nail polish shopping could be so dangerous.

I received my Diors and YSLs from Saks. Rosy Bow and Gris Trianon are very pretty, but I'm not head over heels. I mainly got those colors because of their LE status. I'm really looking forward to St. Tropez and the Cruise polishes from the Dior boutique because those shades are more my colors. YSL Bronze Pyrite is also nice, but I have other metallics I like more. I absolutely love Première Neige. It's a top coat from YSL's 2012 Holiday collection. It gives a gorgeous blue shimmer to any polish.

I went to a JC Penny Sephora today. They didn't have any Dior polishes, but I don't recall if they ever did. I'll check out a full Sephora on Friday to see if they have any. But I did swing by Ulta and got 2 more Essies. Van D'Go and Shop Till I Drop. I notice that all of my Essies so far a various shades of peach and mint colors.

I've been walking around with naked nails for almost two weeks. My nails look like they have some yellowing, so I was taking a break from polishing them. I think the Instant Artificials may be the culprit. I won't be using it anymore. I'm giving myself a mani tomorrow and will be trying the Butter London base and top coats for the first time. I'll report how I like them.

 

[Prettypackages]

Wow! I'm so glad there are people out there who feels the same way about people raiding my makeup. I was starting to feel a bit like Uncle Scrooge

There are grurples all over the place but this is a particularly fine specimen

. I don't think we have this in stores yet. I'm also looking forward to seeing Absinthe in person. I don't think I'll buy them at regular price but if there's a really really good promo on I'll be sure to snag them both.


She really is very good with Konad. Her nail shape also helps - they're not overly curved so the designs don't look distorted on the nail.

i had to look that up. LOL i had no idea she was using a stamp.

The Dior polishes are back up on Sephora's website. Rosy Bow and Gris Trianon have been added. I guess there was a glitch while they were updating the colors. Good. Now I can still wait for a sale.

There are only two people that are allowed free reign in my stash. My sister and my friend Sandra. They are both NON POSTING SPECKTRA MEMBERS!!!! Hopefully that shamed them into becoming more active.

They know how important this make up thing is to me specially since we are all making a go at doing this professionally.

Best of luck in your pursuit of a career in makeup artistry. I admire the talent so much!!!

 

[Medgal07]

all the shipping restrictions suck!! i was checking transdesign last night and regular color club polishes went from $3.20 to $8. like WTF. im going to shop from other retailers now. i got my set of 6 holos i got from ebay. nothing yet from Aengland.

I'm still waiting for A-England too. Needed a fix so I ordered just two itty bitty NPs today

 

[Medgal07]

Like, WOW Kimibos! So, so pretty, and for sure my hat's off to you

for really using your NP! You make the rest of us look like mere hoarders. They're all so pretty that I can't decide what I like best!!! I was so impressed that I did a pedi with Chanel's Fracas tonight. Don't expect to see my tootsies though! Tomorrow I think I'll have a mani with some other NP that I have yet to use!!!

and i just got these!!!

You're just having way too much fun----good for you!!!!!
