Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

A mani in Medgal's honour: BL All Hail the Queen! (And HC so so sequin):

I even got some compliments about it - from my depiladora, of all people!

So nice of you to share this with us CC! I like the square shape but much shorter---you know, like HOB's nails. I immediately looked down at my cuticles and they are perfectly oval.

Here's my Sunnies mani to match my heels. I added the heels for Naughty

I love that story Kimibos---a real testament to your talent---even back then!!!!

i like this idea. i never thought about wearing skittles with different textures and colors.i feel like you should post a pic. i want to see your mani it sounds cool and illl copy it soon .
same here i have never had my nails done at a salon. i just learned at home, got some tricks and tips from youtube, and im all set.


** a story short. a couple of years ago, i went to a salon to buy a opi polish and they asian man, the owner wanted to hire me, he asked me if i did my own nails and wouldnt let go of my hands. my friend couldnt stop laughing, she knew i was a NPA. i had to tell him several times i was just high school student, that i had no nail tech license and my parents didnt allow me to work. he really really wanted to hire me.

 

[Medgal07]

Wow ladies---a NPA doesn't stand a chance around here. Oddly, I really like Muir, Muir On the Wall and at least three of those Essies were just made for me!

Yes, Lilinah----if I can add glitter, you can add coral.

Since you have several nudes, why not start with a pale peach and move to coral if & when you start to
adjust to the additional color?

I'm a million miles behind on reading this board. And just start drooling every time i see pics of everyone's hauls!

I reorganized and inventoried my nail polishes. I keep my makeup by color - Warm, Neutral, Cool. But i now have my polishes organized by Creme, Frost, Glitter. I need to go on a frost no-buy for a while - that box is about to explode because it's so full. And I have so few cremes, that i have my nail basics - base & top coats & quick dries - and treatments in the same box with them, as well as my lovely new glitter top coats.

I need some more cremes. I have about a little over dozen cremes in the following shades:
--- nude (several different shades, from browny to pinky)
--- chartreuse
--- olive green
--- mint green (about 4 variations)
--- teal
--- periwinkle blue
--- blue violet (pale, light, and medium-dark)

Yes, i don't have many standard colors. The first nail polishes i got, back in the mid-70s when my fingernails finally grew out, after being a long time nail biter, were periwinkle blue, mint green, and a frosted navy.

I'm planning to get a coral and a light denim blue. Other than that i'm not sure... I've never worn red or pink or orange nails, so getting a coral will be a big deal for me. I need to think about what colors will look good under my new glitter top coats - all of which have violet in them...

GORGEOUS manis MRV & Anitacska!!!!

I'm wearing a very similar colour too! It's Color Club Abyss with Models Own Disco Heaven glitter gradient. The MO polish has some teal and bluee glitters as well as lots of gold, so it looks very good with the teal base. Sadly no sunshine again today, so can't show off the glitter at its best.

Tropics is really pretty

T has reviews of the new Hares! (reformulated ones)

I rather like your mani---and the accent nails.

Please don't be shy or awkward about your cuticles and rash. We've all had 'stuff' too. Glad you're comfortable
enough here to share!

I just removed last weeks mani and I thought to share the pictures. I hope I do this correctly

So on my nails is Estee Lauder's Chaos and on my ring finger is Hits Zeus. I took pictures in the sunlight and also in shaded light. Pardon my eczema on ring finger {in particular} I am so self conscious about it! and my cuticles look like horrendously bad so please be nice. It has been 6 days since I did my nails last so there is minor tip wear, horrid cuticles, and a wee bit of chipping but I really like these colors, Estee Lauder's Chaos in particular does not seem to have many pictures online and I did not take great ones. This is only the second time I have tried taking pictures of my nails

GREAT haul MACerette! Looking forward to seeing your manis!! ENJOY!!

So far everything is reasonably under control. Since I came here I got 3 Catrice polishes, 1 Max Factor, my first 2 Essies, my first two Zoyas and my first Color Club.

Catrice is a budget brand. I got one gorgeous goldish colour (probably close to DL Believe I think), but during the first pedi and mani I obviously tightened the lid a bit too much and it broke. Straight in the garbage. Boo.

Yesterday I received my first ebay order from a seller recommended by Buick.
I got
Eternal Beauty - Color Club
Ivanka - Zoya
Charla - Zoya
Boom Boom Room - Essie
Saturday Disco Fever - Essie

The polishes I got before that are Fantasy Fire - Max Factor, GlamoureX Factor (which I chucked in the bin alas), Genius in The Bottle and I believe The Monkey Gets Funky all three by Catrice...

Ooh, haven't looked in here for a while...

Medgal - Happy Birthday!! May you stay as fabulous as you are forever.

HOB - I love the heels and the mani.


Haven't hauled any polish lately, I'm saving for the fall collections (Guerlain, YSL, Chanel). I only got a Sally Hansen Sugar Coat polish in the mail. For whatever reason they're sending me press samples even though I didn't blog for 2 or 3 years, lol. But hey, I'm not complaining.

The formula on that one is really nice, but I'm still not sure how I feel about textured polishes.

I had a crappy day, went to the doctor but he wasn't that helpful. Other than he wanting me to get a laparoscopy, which I'm not down with. Yet. My toothache is back too, so I need something to cheer me up. I placed a huge skincare and organic herbs & tea & oils order, but I feel like I need more retail therapy.

 

[Anneri]

Hey, posted something especially for you in the TT thread! *nudges* (If you still need retail therapy.) I hope you get better soon!

 

[Naynadine]

I hope you get better soon!

Thank you
Yes, I saw it! It looks super pretty. I went straight to the Douglas site to see if they still have it. They have ONE left which is sitting in my cart, but I *think* it would be too shimmery for me to get a lot of use out of it. If I didn't have Silver Birch already I'd buy it.

 

[Anneri]

It's much better than SB in my opinion. Much better texture and the colour is nicer too!

 

[Medgal07]

Wow---you all know how to make a gal feel really special. This is a real milestone BD for me (60) but don't let that get around. Our little secret

I feel hugely
blessed and amazingly privileged. THANK YOU ALL!!!!

Medgal

Iwish you all the happiness in the world

Have a wonderful day

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you Naynadine

. So sorry you're feeling un-well. You need to meet me at the spa---get you fixed up in no time!! I'm with you. It seems as though I
haven't hauled NP in eons, although it was only last month that I over-hauled NP. I finally got my backordered DL, Do the Mermaid. Hope you feel better soon---
take care of you!!!!
