Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[MACina]

Stunning haul, Jenny

Is This Silva?,Lumin-Icent, Perfect Mol-Ten and Cold Metal are adorable

And now for today's haul. Superdrug had all Maybelline as buy 1 get 1 half price, so I picked up two of the LE Color Show polishes:



Solar Flare, Shock Wave

Then I had a peek in TKMaxx - my recent realisation that they carry makeup was a fatal discovery! The last couple of times I've been I'd seen some of the OPI Skyfall magnetic NPs, and had passed on them, but I decided if they still had any today, I'd get one.



Is That Silva?

They also had some new stuff in - several Color Club collections. I passed on Fiesta - didn't really excite me - and Backstage Pass - all glitters. But I picked up the Molten Metals collection, and it was a bargain, £7.99 for 6 NPs plus a topcoat.



L-R, top row: Lumin-Icent, Perfect Mol-Ten, Cold Metal
Bottom row: Hot Like Lava, Foil Me Once, Antiquated

First thing I do when I get new NP home is swatch them, so here's how they all look:

OMG......Medgal

I have seen soooooooooo many pretty polishes on here today....I definitely know what I am going to dream of tonight

Fellow NPAs, meet my Sparkles-----My Dior Sparkle collection NPs arrived this morning. The shimmer doesn't photograph well but it's gorgeous! Can't wait to say goodbye to St Patrick and hello to spring!

Oh so lovely. I think Delice is calling my name. I wonder when these will arrive here.

Ah yes, I'm a mature woman trapped in a 30-year old's body.

I'm the opposite!

(sad...)

I figured you're in your 30's because you posted a partial pic earlier and from some other things, too.

And I'm not really interested in Essence (used to though), Misa en Kinetics... And my new rule is to only buy NP from a couple of brands so.. But I do have a flaky from Kinetics, it's lovely.

Oi! What's Essence ever done to you? Tsk tsk.

I didn't know Kinetics even had a flaky! Alice&Jo didn't have a massive selection in the sale but I ended up buying 10+ bottles. I really like their formula so I thought why not? I was already going to pay 4.95 shipping for the three Strangebeautiful Color Cubes (at 5EUR each!

Hallelujah!) so it would be rude not to.

Speaking of Strangebeautiful, my Colour Cubes (complete with grubby fingerprints and one mangled bottle cap) say hi:

I have never seen these before, Buick!

But they do all look great

are those 2 polishes in one? like duos?

 

[kimibos]

ok this is awful, but i made my brother drive from home to get me my little packages with polishes lol so yes they are in my hands now. i just couldnt wait.

 

[BuickMackane]

Haha! I did the same! I hope I'll get them next week. And I hope you'll finally get your sale order, too. It's taking sooooooo long!

Fingers crossed... Do you remember when your goodies were shipped?

I haven't received my CultNails order either. My last CultNails order took a lifetime to arrive as well but this time it's taking even longer. I think it's something to do with how they label the envelopes, I dunno. If it had been NinjaPolish or Llarowe my polishes would have reached me by now even if I were living on friggin Mars.

 

[BuickMackane]

Yup. Basically they've put two bottles of polish in a plastic cube. And you can't take the cube apart, which makes them not very user- or travel-friendly. The polish itself is brilliant and they have some great names (Elite Terrorist Tan, Cheap Foundation, etc.) so I'm OK with the fussy packaging.

That's what brothers are for innit?

My new Picture Polish recruits!

I love all of them but I have to say that Paradise is one of the most beautiful polishes I've ever laid eyes on. I haven't seen anything like it. Oh, and Majesty looks kinda meh in these pics but it's anything but.

Mallard and Cosmos were out of stock when these pretties were sent to me but they will be shipped early next week. Wooohooo!

I think it was the 25th. The same day I ordered the speckles and raindrops.

Odd. I received my Cultnails in a box (and I think they even had written "nail polish" on the top) and without any exceptional delays.

i went from total climax when opening the packages to total misery. the sharon polish broke in my zoya order and stain the poor lotus that came in a little box with it. im going to email zoya asking them to sent me lotus and sharon again. idont understand how they dont pack a order well.

Oh drat!

The polishes were in a box and one of them still managed to break? Weird. I've had polish sent to me in flimsy envelopes (which really shouldn't happen, but there are some clueless people on eBay) and they survived a transatlantic flight.

I'm sure Zoya CS will replace your polishes
