Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[kimibos]

cartoonchic beauty.com has the brights and neutral sets of occ liptars again. just in case you wanted them. or maybe you already got them??

I just got one of the BL Christmas Sets ( the one with Fiddlesticks, Fairy Cakes and Shambolic) for the price of a single polish. It would have been, like Buick said before, extremely impolite not to take up that offer, right? Right?
I'm swimming in polishes soon...

This is only my 3rd time ordering from Ulta online, but it's been slow each time.

I had sworn Ulta online off because I once ordered some 'buy two, get one free' polishes from them and they didn't have one of the shades, after the order was placed. Instead of informing me they charged me full price for two polishes. We'll see what happens this time. I'm in more of a fighting for my rights mood should this happen again. :barf:

 

[BuickMackane]

I have all of my polishes I've ordered except the three from Ulta's Black Friday sale. They seem to take forever to ship. My package won't get here until Thursday. Oh, and I'm waiting for Mermaid's Dream from HSN.

I love every color I have so far. It's so hard to choose, but I think I'm going with Zulu + Cleopatra in NY. Zulu is such a pretty green, but the application could be better. However, I was expecting that based upon all of the reviews I read.

You should have seen the original Zulu! It was a total PITA

.

As far as I know the repromote has better application (not good enough, by the sound of it).

I think it's something to do with the colour. That, and the fact that it's a jelly. Very dark green + Jelly = Trouble. After giving up on my original Zulu (and stupidly using what remained in the bottle to create a sad abomination of a franken) I jumped on the NfuOh bandwagon and got 569, which was meant to be a Zulu Dupe. While the application is better than Zulu v.1, it is still a difficult polish. The colour and finish are well worth it though, just like Zulu.

I didn't know Anthropologie started selling cosmetics. I got my Cleopata in New York from Beauty.com and it's still available. I was able to use a coupon towards the purchase.

Speaking of Cleopatra in New York...here's an eye makeup look inspired by CINY. I might try it for a Hanukkah look because she incorporates bright blue w/ the gold & the black. This look can be tweaked in many ways. Check it out for our December holiday themed makeup challenge. http://takeflightbeauty.com/2012/10/26/cleopatra-in-newy-york-inspired-look/

Okay Kimibos, I adore you but you just need to cut it out! You and cartoonchic! She doesn't need any more lip tars. Have you seen her collection? So darned pretty! I just got Banjee because of her and now you're enabling me too. What's a will-powerless girl to do? I can't help myself. :bump:

Why, of course. You did the right thing. Here on the nail polish thread we are obliged to keep the global nail polish industry afloat.

re: swimming in NP - oh yes! If that were an olympic sport I'd definitely watch it...says the person who runs a mile from any kind of sports coverage - well, except for the occasional game of snooker

 

[Medgal07]

i have been wanting essie bikini so teeny for a long time now. 

A must have! Go for it! :eyelove:

 

[Anneri]

So have I. It's been on the NP waiting list for ages. But other (dare I say more striking) polishes came along and I ended up getting them instead. I'll probably include in my next Zoya-Opi-Essie combined order.

Synchronised Swimming in coloured liquid - that was the mental image my mind immidiately produced. And sniggered. I'm way too immature.

But I'm glad a gave the global np industry a boost today!

How obvious is the shimmer? I have She's Picture Perfect and much as I like it I was hoping for the shimmer to be more obvious on the nail. Is BST like that too?

The shimmer is REALLY subtle, in the bottle it's clearly visible but on the nail it's barely there. Still a beautiful polish tho, but if you're looking for something more shimmery this polish won't be it

Ps.: just googled She's Picture Perfect and now i want it. I'm a disaster lol

Nah lol it's ok, the polishes you mention are always super nice so you're forgiven

Just finished drilling holes and mounting my second 96 Boyle nail polish rack. I only have 1/2 of an empty shelf left ...so pathetic. Thanks to all of you enablers it will be full when my 9 BL polishes arrive.

Do you have a picture of it? It sounds like something I'd be interested in having for my polishes!

I'll take a picture and post it. The racks are the best thing I ever did. I hate clutter, and although I kept my polishes in decorative boxes, it was still a hassle getting to them.
