fellow NPAs !

I can't catch up, the rythm is too

LOL

Just passing by to say HELLO !

 

[MRV]

Thank you! I've been feeling like this lately but I haven't even used most of my "summer" untrieds. I'm trying to be strong and wait until Fall.

I'm trying to hold with them too until September at least.

Yes you got it, that's what I meant. I wipe of the brush inside the bottle. Then a bit of polish sticks to the top inside of the bottle and it slowly slides down, but while sliding down it also seems to get thicker. It does help to close the bottle and hold it upside down to get it mixed in with the rest quicker, but I hoped there would be an easier way. Thanks for your help.

I have noticed sometimes that a polish thickens while doing a mani but I have hardly used them a second time so I can't say anyting about their performance after the first time. I don't remember though that this would have to do anything with glitter polishes especially or that the glitters would clump up in the bottle.

Super Freaking Gorgeous! i luv this polish badly. your nails look 

Thanks, Kimibos! I just took the Garbage off. It lasted 5 (!) days without tip wear or chipping! There was only one mini chip the 4th morning and today it chipped only because I took a shower to wash my hair.

:grouphug: [COLOR=0000FF]TO ALL OF YOU, one great big HONEY I'M HOME!!!!   I had the best birthday ever, and the spa was AMAZING.  The hubs out-did himself with flowers and champagne in the room upon our arrival.  We embibed while over looking the lake and then I was off to my facial feeling very relaxed!  Several days of amazing spa treatments, scrumptious food and loads of surprises---I'm still on cloud nine!  I was able to haul NP while away---well sort of.  As part of the mani-pedi that I was having they allow you to select two NPs that are your to keep.  I had taken Chanel Elixer with me and that's what I had them apply to my fingers & toes.  Among other things I left the resort with two new NPs and a boat load (or as Buick would say, "a zoo full") of amazing skincare products.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Wow MRV--I really missed my eye candy/NP Porn----just beautiful!!!

Thank you, Medgal, and welcome back!! Nice to hear you had such a wonderful time at the spa! Oh, BL had a sale again?

Here are a couple of pictures of my mani, Picture Polish Pshiiit:





Also, I went shopping and this is my TK Maxx haul:





That's BL Fiddlesticks by the way. The CC set is just so bright, even though I probably have similar colours, I just couldn't leave it behind.

Oh and forgot to say that I've seen a comparison swatch between Enchanted Polish May 2013 and Lilypad Laqcuer Blooming Violets and they are very similar, if anything, LL BV is prettier, so I'm going to grab that since I missed out on the EP may 2013. Here's the link: http://www.pointlesscafe.com/2013/07/comparison-request-violet-holo.html

Girl u kno I need this!! where can I buy it?

 

[Naughtyp]

I don't think they are polishes.  According to Nordstroms: Nails dazzle with extreme radiance in a limited-edition, numbered set. Each coffret features two sparkling powders and a special adhesive base coat. The fine powders, in Black and luminous Gold, create a jewel-like manicure. Whether applied to one nail as an accent or as a complete manicure, Dior Sparkling Nail powders create an elegant, brilliant couture finish. So basically you paint your nails with the adhessive base coat and then sprinkle on the powder?  At least that is how I read it.  Glitter for your nails in a nail polish bottle instead of in pouches with a base coat marketed as 'special adhesive' They have some at my local nordies and appear to be available online again so I might go peek but the powder part of Sparkling Nail Powders means too much work for me.  My nails look half arsed when the glitz is suspended in polish I cannot imagine how an extra step would make them look better :sniff:

I went and saw these In person today. It's basically a clear polish and u just add the glitter over it. pretty messy and waste alot of the glitter. A huge skip for me!!!

 

[Naughtyp]

well I just ordered some more np!! thanks to the link antitacska posted, I ordered Lilypadlacquer Bloomibg violets, Pinky promise and chocollo ( hoping they kill my lemmings for enchanted polish hot chocolate,may 2013, and I'm kind of a big deal). also ordered picture polish Dorothy and Shocked. Going to order the last two Anne polishes from literary lacquer ( Anne with an E, and Carrots, carrots). I went to Nordies today to pick up a paint pot from MAC. I looked at all the Nordstrom Anniversary sets. I don't like the Dior glitter things, def skip for me! there's is a nails inc kit that is similar in idea, for much less at sephora. I MIGHT get that one. I ended up getting a BL backstage basics kit with Thames, plus one additional color ( I got Keks). the kit has the np remover, a nail file, BL topcoat and BL basecoat. I used my Nordies reward and paid $20. so I'm pretty happy all in all also went to ulta. I got an email that I didn't read all the way. it said to spend $45 and earn 200 points. I thought it said I had 200 points so I went and picked out BL sprog, but once I pulled up the email I ended up not getting it. darn it I felt so dumb lol

Nice haul Anneri!!

We like them all don't we Naughtyp??

Beautiful manis Kimibos!!!!!!

Amazing NP haul and manis Anitacska

Hi HOB! I saw these at Nordie's online, put them in my cart but took them out because I want to see swatches first---didn't want to get them just to get them

Can't wait to see swatches.

Love your mani Anneri!!
Can't wait to hear how you like these CC---I passed until I know/see more.

Totally love your green mani HOB.

I've seen bright leaves in the mountains---even lavender, which totally floored me. Like who knew? At any rate, in a moment of weakness I ordered them during BL's flash sale that included free shipping.

Me too HOB---I can't resist a white NP so I ordered it---in addition, the name reminded me of Buick
GREAT FINDS MRV!!!!!!

I'm with you CC---my mood, and sometimes my outfit dictates what I wear.

True MACina
That write up is what made me take those polishes out of my cart. I need to see swatches and even then, I'm not sure I'll get much use out of them. Nevertheless, I'm keeping an open mind!

Oops, sorry about that! I placed an order for 7 polishes, but didn't orderPinky Promise, do you think it's like I'm Kind of a Big Deal? Oh well, I might order it when Sally Magpies gets it. It was very hard to just pick 7, but another bottle would've doubled the postage and I couldn't justify ordering 14 bottles. :O

nice! which ones did u get ? I got those three from llarowe. I want hella more lol!! and I found a bottle comparison of that enchanted and pinky promise and they are very close! close enough for me (unless I catch a restock, I crossed those enchanted off my list lol)! I want all the minty ones and all the purples and the bright pinks!

A sweet specktrette included my order for two of the new RBL polishes with her order. I immediately put on Kelli Gonzo's color. The formula was AMAZING. I can't wait to try Liberty.

My current mani, Highlight of my Summer. Let me start off by saying this is the worst nail polish formula I've ever used! I bought it without reading reviews and after I did my mani I noticed people were saying they needed to do 3-5 coats depending on how they applied it. I was only able to make it work by applying a base coat, coat of color, another thin layer of base coat and a final coat of color. I almost threw this thing in the trash but the color is so pretty in person I think I'll have to deal with the bad formula

Wow sorry that formula was giving you headaches. It does look really professional and perfect for all your effort, though!!

I looooooove this color so much. What I was doing was doing a very thin first coat, letting it dry very completely then doing a thicker 2nd coat but spreading it on as if it was a gel instead of normal polish feeling. If I'd get a streak, I'd just blob on a dab of polish right over the streak and not really do anything more - it may be thick, but it's actually pretty good at self-leveling in the second coat. I use OPI for Sephora base coat and their separate top coat (not the all-in-one one). It is a gorgeous color, so beautiful to behold. Out of the Sunsational collection, Keeping It Teal is probably my favorite (it glows like a cabochon emerald in the sun),then HoMS and Sun of a Peach! I've got Sun of a Peach on my toes right now!
