Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Corally]

I LOVE your mani! I command you to wear it for at least a day!

I actually wore it for 2 whole days! I put in on Thursday evening and took it off last night. I'm very proud of myself 

Good girl! *pats*

Hello ladies, I found this on a French website

Duck Nail !

 

[CartoonChic]

Ask CC about her coke nail

. I didn't know either until CC pointed it out.

This is hilarious! I gave myself another nail cut just because. I want to wear my nails shorter for a while longer, so I've been without my coke nails for weeks now.

I don't smoke. I think the yellowing was caused by the Salon Sciences base coat I was using. I'm going to try the lemons! I meant to before, but ended up using a lime instead. Don't think it was as effective.

I'm all over these! Although, they look very similar to to the Color Block colors Riviera, Lucky and Plaza. They also look like the Sparkling Shine collection colors without the glitter.

Tell us how you really feel!!!

Too late---you're famous for it now---a true legend even! My husband wants to know why I'm laughing so hard!!!

Great wish list Dominique!!!! The Dior Duos are super cute. The Chanel Azure & Bel Argus from the summer collection are both really very pretty. I skipped the deep coral one, Lilis,-----well because it was just deep coral and seemingly a readily dupable shade. In fact, it looks a lot like Dior's Riviera, which I already have. If it's not, I might have to bite the bullit and purchase it. As a flaming NP addict it only takes a subtle difference to give me a reason to add a new NP to my stash.

We NPAs ( even an absolute beginner like me LOL ) always find subtle reasons to add new polishes to our stash.

Chanel Azuré and Bel Argus and Lilis are gorgeous, Riviera and Lilis ? Well,

I see the subtle difference lol, Lilis is not so bright as Riviera, assuming the fact that a " gel top coat " was applied on Riviera in this case !

I didn't think you smoked but didn't know for sure! the lemons really do help plus they smell good lol I remember u mentioning that base coat now actually lol ughh I hate those nails I see girls with them sometimes I think it looks stupid lol

It is vulgar, here we call them " cagoles " ( girls who wear that kind of manicure ), have you heard of Nabilla ? She epitomizes porn culture ( under culture ), under IQ, cheap, cheap, cheap and she's not pretty at all ( seeing her I know she underwent plastic surgery for her breasts, nose, cheeks and more I guess ). Duck manicure would be perfect for Nabilla but curiously enough I found this manicure on Cosmopolitan.fr !

Back to neat manicures :

Great blue, Klein or Majorelle I don't know exactly but beautiful blue !

SOURCE : Vernis en Folie

The color reminds me of YSL Bleu Majorelle as well, or maybe Dior Electric Blue.

I did a quick swatch of both on my nails. Riviera is more like an orange red. Lilis is more like a coral orange. Maybe like a melon color and softer than Riviera.

I love everyone's hauls and manis, by the way.

 

[Dominique33]

It's " L'Onglerie " a French brand, I don't know if you have the brand in the US. The nail polishes are good and not expensive at all.
The blue one is Lisa :

Please read carefully, it's important

if you are a 1000 % or more NPA. Lilis looks gorgeous, to me the collection is a must-have ( the spring one was more déjà vu I think Emprise - Fracas - Accessoire pretty but I must admit I skipped the 3 )

And yes Cartoon Chic, this hideous duck manicure could have meant ban among NPAs but I do apologize, this was in very poor taste lol !

Great haul! Love the Chanels, Pearl Drop is beautiful, I should wear mine again.

I'm itching to do my nails. I've been walking around with bare nails for about 2 weeks. I was too crazy busy to do them before my convention, and too exhausted after. I think I'll do them in the next day or too. I've been looking for the Essence peel away base coat to try. I want to wear some glitters, but don't want to deal with the hassle of removing them.

I still have yellowing on my natural nails. The upper portion is yellow, but the base of the nail is my natural pink color. I guess the yellow is growing out a lot slower than I first thought. It's about half yellow/half pink. I'm going to keep an eye on it. I'll feel better when it's about a third yellow because then I'll know for sure it's growing out and not permanently stained.

Confession - I peel my NP off whenever possible, no special base coat! I don't force it, but if it will come away relatively easily I so do it. It seems to vary by colour, but even then sometimes one nail will come away in a single piece and another won't go at all lol!

Interesting about your yellowing, I noticed today that I have about a third pink now. Unlike you I haven't changed my base coat, so it can't be that. However I have been using the Dior Creme Abricot.

And umm, AMAZING haul CC!

The duck manicure is funny! I wonder if it will catch on as a trend. Those poor souls.
