This turned out so pretty! I'm also not into crackle polishes, but this is beautiful. My daughter did something recently where she used crackle polish to make dots on her nails. I liked that effect too. I said I'm not into crackle, but I'm getting ready to buy a crackle set I just discovered. I'm fascinated by the effect it creates.Not green, but close! And mint always works, doesn't it?
I was fed up with the stickers. They hold up quite well, but I experienced some serious shrinkage which left the tips of nearly all my nails exposed. Maybe I'll have to practice apllying them more, because I've the feeling that I pulled them too straight while I applied them. Maybe that's the reason for the shrinkage.
Anyways, I already told y'all that I don't like shatter polish, but I really like the result of a shatter polish applied with a sponge. I saw that at a blog and decided to try it, and it's love.

EDIT: I took the pics pre-cleanup. SORRY!
It's cause Donatello rocked the purple mask!
Personally, the polish reminds me of the Hulk, lol.
I was telling Med how I forget that you can only get Illamasqua from Sephora, besides from their website. I need to remember to grab LE colors right away. I hesitated with Fragile when it restocked thinking I could get it later, but then remembered there's no where else to get it. I'm going to check my local store.thanks medgal and CC! I hope I get them all lol I at leat have to get the spreckle ones I kno those are LE!
I love both green polishes u ladies usedI was pulling out all my greens yesterday. whoa! there is a lot!! lol I really got into blues and greens the last couple months. I used to be more into bright pinks and purples ( still am lol) but I just love all colors so much! lol
one thing I'm trying to decide on is yellow np. I only have one ( Loreal.haven't tried it yet). I have BL Jasper and Zoya Piaf on my wishlist I don't know if I need both? :/ anyone have any thoughts about either one?
OMG!
Gorgeous! They all shall be mine!
Those are some pretty fierce nails you've got going on there! And that is a fabulous colour.Zoya Yasmeen
Lovely haul! That Illamasqua Caress reminds me of the orders Royal Mail destroyed. I have still not received mine (ordered January 12th) but it should be on it's way. Caress was one of the discounted shades (no longer available) but I did not get it.
Accurate or not, it still looks lovely. I have not worn illamasqua for a while so I can't remember any difficulties. The base coat might have to do something with it though. Ever since I've been using Essie Ridge Filler, I don't remember having much bubbles.
Love! Can't wait to get mine! I'm planning to wear if before Easter for a green & egg theme.
Oh, crap! Wish I had known this a week ago! They seem to ship internationally (no idea of the shipping fee though). I ordered On the Beach on Monday, and it seems to be in many sets, or 1-2 of something else I already have. Except in the set already sold out.
Ok, back to the Green March theme: I'm starting with Hare's Asteroid Turf. It had an odd texture, kind of stiky. The application was more stippling than storking. It evened out just fine though.

OPI Sprung (Mariah Carey collection)
you kno what? your right lol I will get both of them lol they look so pretty!!!Naughtyp!!! About those yellows---My favs are BL's Cheeky Chops, which is brighter than Jasper; Zoya's Piaf has a very slight hint of green and shimmer, like Chanel's Mimosa, shimmer but no green. Mac's Near Beth Experience could be a dupe for BL's Jasper. I'm not the person to tell you which of the five you should get. My logic says YOLO....GET THEM ALL
