Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Corally]

KIKO :ymca: Yes I have! Took about a week? And it slipped through customs. But now I want another travel essentials set. :headbang: Did you receive your order?

Awesome! Mine arrived too. I'm loving the stippling brush. The powder brush is awesome too. The shading brush was already a favourite of mine, so I'm really happy to have 3 more. I haven't got the travel set. What's in it?

That's great! :flower: Multi task brush, domed shadow brush and essential foundation brush. I wish the brushes in the sets were sold separately because I really don't care for those painty foundation brushes lol. So far I've used the multi task brush for blush and the dome shadow brush for blending, LOVE IT. And I've used the deluxe crease brush from the starter kit for concealer, love love love. Haven't really used the other brushes yet hehe.

These are the ones I ordered a while ago, after seeing your She's in Parties pic. I don't care much for Bauhaus any more but I had to get it for old time's sake lol. The polish being absolutely divine kinda helped too

The order I placed during the sale will be shipped tomorrow

I thought you already had Sweet Dreams

This was last summer so I'm sure my collection has grown since then.

Welcome Kensey! You organize your polishes by color like Med. Very pretty to stare at.



@ honey -

We've missed your manis.

[CartoonChic]

Lmao!! omg that Bowie polish and comment is hella funny !!! I love all ur pics! have to look up those cartoon ones tho I'm. not familiar with those

Please forgive my egregious error! I promise to get Knackered the next time I buy more butters. My Butters from the Macy's B2G1 price match arrived. They're so pretty, sparkly and mesmerizing in the bottles. I'll have to take pics tomorrow.

Great hauls Med, Buick and Naynadine! I want to know how you like that yellow Essie, Med. I haven't taken the plunge yet.

My Paranormal Illamasquas arrived yesterday. I like that they're pretty in their normal state. They're infused with silver shimmer/microglitter. My favorite is Omen.



Illamasqua Geist, Séance, Ouija, Omen

I also stopped by a JCP Sephora today while I was out running errands. I picked up Illamasqua Bacterium, Radium, Viridian and Rampage on sale for only $4. I was told they were on sale because they're going to be discontinued. Not sure if they are or not. I wasn't paying attention to much else after I saw the $4 price tag. I ordered Rampage just yesterday from Sephora.com for full price. Back it goes!

I've also spent the last 2 days upgrading my polish spreadsheet. At first, I had all of my makeup inventory in one file with each category given its own sheet within the file (polish, blush, lipstick, etc.). My polish sheet was becoming extremely long. I have to wait for it to process while I scroll through the page. I was trying to reference it in store last week to check if I had already purchased a particular color and it would only load up half the page.

I have now given my polish inventory its own separate file. My polishes are organized by color and then by brand. Each color now has its own sheet within the file, so I'm not having to scroll through every single polish I own. I love the new setup. I even added more detailed calculations than what I had before. Before I could only see my total polish count and the the totals by color. Now I also have the total polishes by brand and can easily my total trieds and untrieds at a glance.

How I THINK I wear my polish and how I ACTUALLY wear my polish are completely at odds with each other.

I'm still updating my inventory with recent polish hauls, but I've crossed over into the 400 range. Sadly, my untrieds are at least 350+.

 

[Naynadine]

Woah.

You really are the queen of hauls, Medgal was right!

 

[Naughtyp]

[COLOR=0000FF]Awesome Naughtyp!   ompom: Mine shipped today!!![/COLOR]

I'm excited too but I wish I had it sooner while it was still rainy cold and dreary! I want to wear colors!! I ca t wait up get it tho! I didn't really like the pink shade on the pink one I feel like I should get it anyways... eventually I will if it's still available

 

[kimibos]

OMG girl you have to do your nails more often.
the illamasqua's look soo cool but im gonna have to skip. when i go to bed everything has to be in total darkness, glowing in the dark nails would drive me insane.

LOL maybe you shouldnt get knackered. im not going to enable you anymore

 

[Naughtyp]

Your 10-a-month resolution went to the great gig in the sky, I take it? 

Oh me oh my. Kiko has some real gems 

Thank you for the offer 

. I first need to see how my bank account is doing, but I'd definitely love to try some out. Yeah, we want Kiko! We want Kiko! Off topic - did you receive your iHerb order? I hope customs played nice. Yup, all's good. I actually took some daylight snaps but I still need to do the flash ones and write the excel lists. I did RBL, Illamasqua, Cirque and L'Oreal. And possibly a couple more. I'll post them as soon as I can 

Nice to see that the Thin White Duke's trouser snake has become a hit with Specktra's NPAs. My order that contained said body part went awol (USPS decided to send it on a sorting facility roadtrip) so LLarowe will send it again. The NP gods must hate me. Speaking of droolworthy indies, this exquisite specimen is Majestic Flight by Emily de Molly. Crap pic, but the loveliness shines through 

see I knew what u were up to lol!! pretty polishes!!!

omg CC!! I thought I had alot of untrieds lol you are the QUEEN!! I'm so jelly lol. JCpennys had no illasquas on sAle when I went last time.... but I did have almost very single on they have in the store lol!! I want seance for sheez! I need swatches lol is the clear coat blow in the dark or whatever? I need to upgrade my Inventory too... I finally labeled all my nail sticks last night. I need lots more sticks lol

I thought the polishes were glow in the dark, too, but they're not! They're glow under UV light. I swatched them on my fingers and tested them in darkness. Nothing happened. The only place I can think of to go with UV light to see how they glow is the bowling alley. The clear coat is also supposed to UV glow. I think it's meant to make any polish glow.

I still haven't ordered new sticks. I keep getting distracted with polish hauls. I have a backlog of polishes to swatch now.

 

[CartoonChic]

LOL maybe you shouldnt get knackered. im not going to enable you anymore

No worries! Knackered was always on my to-buy list. You all just enabled encouraged me to get it sooner.

And you're right. I need to get on the ball and wear more polish. I've been slacking lately. Too much going on.

same here lol!! I couldn't stand having them all over my room so I used a fine tip sharpie to label them. that's a bummer about the Illamasquas. I kno with glow in the dark np u have to "charge" it up next to a light and then it will glow. maybe these are the same? I have no idea where there is uv lights except the tanning salon ( which I never go to ) or the nail place for gel nails . hmm don't kno if I need these.... they are really pretty anyways tho so i probably will get at least one lol

 

[Medgal07]

Great haul and really pretty colors CC....the names however are a bit creepy. Not only will your NPs need their own inventory file, they'll need their own building! > 350 untrieds seems like a daunting task ahead!!

 

[Medgal07]

I'm definitely slowing down next month. I got sucked in by all the sales.

I'm pretty certain you were the one who twisted my arm encouraged me to get Knackered.
