Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[MRV]

Forgot to ask earlier but is Illamasqua Venous an US exclusive? I spotted it on a blog a few days ago but it's not on Illamasqua.com.

I love your Zoya wish list. Mine keeps growing too--no matter how hard I try to put the breaks on! I'm changing my mani today. I've had Illamasqua's Mottle on for 5 days with no chipping. I love it, could keep it on longer, but I need to give another NP a chance. I think I'll wear Neely next because it's green, soft & pretty!!!

Neely is on my list. I wanted to get it when Zoya had their 3 free nail polish promotion, but Neely didn't qualify with the promotion.

 

[xelamazing]

What color is that Zoya?

That would be Chloe! It was from their fleck collection they had a couple years back.

Here's a mani I did with the new L'oreals I purchased... before it messed up. This mani chipped before I left the house today... with a top coat.

I love the color of this mani but the quality just isn't there.





And my Illamasquas arrived yesterday! Can't wait to do a mani with them. Also meant to get Dior's Amazonia but it was sold out when I went back on the Sephora site. But passed the Dior counter today and there it was. So wooohhoo, my first Dior polish.

Your L'Oreal mani is pretty. It's a shame the quality didn't match. Amazonia is on hold for me. I want to complete the polish set from the Golden Jungle collection and that's the last one that I need. I'm sending you a PM.

Yellow is my favorite color, thank you for the nail polish porn!
Even though the Essie Resort is tried and true colors, I still prefer it over the Madison Collection so I say go for it.
OHH I'm so jealous. I wanted that Dior top coat but never got around to looking for it. Good purchase. Thanks for the info on YSL Dore Orfevre. Never seen it before and just may purchase. What other department stores have exclusive colors?
Hm, thanks for the suggestion. Does anyone have any good IG people to follow in terms of nails and fashion?

Nail Porn???

Nail Porn???

Awesome purple! This reminds me I have to make a Zoya-to-buy list. I have only 4!


I was actually eyeing this polish last week because we finally got this collection here and I saw swatches irl. There were a few nice ones. I already have one of the sand polishes, maybe I should go back to this collection although I try to avoid that. There's so many to buy regardless.


Thank you! I hope it helps! I like to see pics, too.

Lovely set of yellows! I have only Near Beth Experience, but Jasper is already on it's way and Cheeky Chops on my list. Yesterday I ordered Orly Melodious Utopia - a lovely spring yellow like these - along with Orly Preamp - a pink! I haven't bought pinks in a while, and I usually tend to skip them

.

MRV. I'll have to check out Orly's Melodious Utopia. Glad your allowing yourself to 'Think Pink."

 

[Medgal07]

Aww Geez MRV-----I love that speckled pink! It's like Illa's Scarce, but the pink is brighter.

Yay, Bond girls! I think I could go with Jinx and possibly Honey Ryder. I already have a blue sand and just ordered the bronzy one from Oz, so those are a skip.

However, I'm def. looking forward to the Zoya summer Pixies! The purple and the yellow-oranges. I will skip the first Pixie Dust collection because these are much better.

And... there's more Essie coming!!!

Jennyap! Mottle looks great on you! Isn't it awesome? I hope Mottle wears as long for you as it did for me. I didn't want to take it off but I have a new three-day rule, and I was on day five with Mottle. My rule requires that I change my polish at least every three days or I'm not allowed to buy anymore for a month. I imposed this rule because I'm buying more than I'm wearing, and that bothers me. So, I went from Mottle to Zoya's Neely

.

That would be Chloe! It was from their fleck collection they had a couple years back.

Chloe is pretty. Mermaid's Kiss is stunning. I need them all!

 

[CartoonChic]

Yet another Chanel Collection???

http://www.beautezine.com/chanel-spring-2013-avant-premiere-de-chanel-le-vernis-review-photos-swatches/

Yup. I want Chanel to slow down. One of the things I like about Chanel is that they didn't release a ton of collections, and you had time to decide and get what you want.

and the 2 selena ones. i got the purple and coral ones instead.
i also got color clubs at sally they have them at like $1.50 in the sale bin . i found china glaze halloween set at like $6 and i finally got Essie bikini so teeny

you can also see the a-englands which i hate

this haul has 2 from the new orly collection boho bonet and elation generation ( A MUST GET). i also got you are blushing and owl play cause i thought i had it but i dint
i also got China glaze Sunday Funday, keep calm paint on, fade into hue, fancy pants. confetti glitters a mini orly oil. and some more drugstore ones like maybelline and nyc. the color club mini from tjmaxx and the magnetic one. plus some unknown brands the ones that say arts and the one with the bling cap. and chi.

[Medgal07]

Amazing nails that you have there MRV

The polish is pretty too

I've added it to my wish list!!

Greens of March: Illamasqua Milf. Unfortunately the top coat messed up the mani. There's all sorts of stripes and then bubbles when I tried to fix it.

 

[Medgal07]

YAY Kimibos---We missed you!

So sorry you didn't like your A Englands. I'm in shock. I have not yet received mine, if you can believe that

. GREAT HAUL, minus the AEs that you don't like.

Hi kimibos!

Great to have you back! You've been busy.

Sorry to hear that you don't like your A-Englands. Maybe you should contact the company and let them know about the brushes. Adina seems like she'll do something to try to fix it.

Med, I'm thinking you should contact A-England, too. It's March now and you still haven't received your order. Did you ever get a shipping notice?

 

[Medgal07]

Chloe is pretty. Mermaid's Kiss is stunning. I need them all!

Me too CC ,

Me too

I agree, can't hurt can it. I was thinking about asking Adina to add in a couple of new caps/brushes next time I place an order. Because I know there will be a next time

(and it's easy for me as I'm positively local!)

Yes, I did get a shipping notice and diaried my calendar for follow-up, per A England's recommendation. I sent an Email on Friday and I have not yet gotten a reply. If I don't hear from them, or if I do not get my NP by Friday I will request a full refund---nearly $100.00

 

[Medgal07]

So glad Kimibos is back. We're still missing BUICK. Maybe we can chat her up...you know, when you talk about a person a lot and they seemingly appear, suddenly.

 

[kimibos]

Welcome back! Sounds like you've been super busy - with real life and hauling NP! I'm sorry you don't like your A-Englands, that's so disappointing when you've waited for something. I got a couple with bad brushes too, but I managed to make them work - I still love the polish. Seems like they might have got a bad batch

Hi yeah even if im busy there is lots of time for my polish hordering lol. im going to try some brushes from other bottles like from a clear wet n wild polish.
