Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[MRV]

Can't wait to get them, i'm so glad Illamasqua made Cameo and Noble also available to us Europeans!

Which blushes did you get? I ordered Hussy and Katie, they will be my first Illamasqua blushes, but i wanted to try them since i read so many good reviews on their blushes.

I already had Lover and Hussy previously. First I ordered Sophie and Thrust, and then Unrequited and Sin (along with Velocity polish) (these 3 already seem to be gone for good).

They are pigmented, some rrrreally pigmented! I first love of course is Lover.

I see Illamasqua added a sale section today, i could only see it after logging in. Velocity polish is in that section. I wonder if they're planning on discontinuing all those products? Seems like quite a list.

Lover is definitely on my wishlist as well. Will probably add it to my next order if i like the 2 other blushes i ordered

Oh, TY for pointing this out. I think you are right. There are other products, too, they earlier said are going to be d/c.

I'm sure you'll love them! (and get more

)

Katie is gorgeous! It was my first Illamasqua blush. I then went on to buy Naked Rose (looks a lot like The Perfect Cheek) and Thrust.

This is the tray I purchased from BBB. I have similar ones that I use for necklaces as well. The bottom left is Illamasqua, Chanel and YSL. The top left is OPI. Middle is Essie, Nails Inc, Nars and F21 Love & Beauty. Top right China Glaze. Middle Right is Sally Hansen. And bottom right is nail care items so like base coat, top coat, cuticle oil. The last picture is of my loose polish that needs to start my second tray.

OH and I purchased an Inglot Matte polish on a whim today. May try it out in a few if i have time. Anyone else have knowledge on them?

Which ones do you have in mind? I'm done with Illamasqua (provided they don't release any new shades, that is) but I'm considering getting Nars Sin and Albatross.

Yup yup, you got it right.

 

[kimibos]

I think they are from Forever 21

thanks, im going to check the minty ones, when i go to the mall next time. i dont shop at forever 21, the clothes are cute but i dont like the quality of them.

Nicee haul girl! you got the record for BL on sale!!

I think the lowest I paid for a BL polish is $7. I'm trying to get lower than that.

from nars the matte ones like desire, exhibit A, gilda, gina, amour. and from illamasqua the bright peach an pink ones.

Great haul! I was shopping vicariously through you. I need to put a pause on all of my shopping until after the holidays. Except for MAC Strength and Apres Chic.

Great collection, Slimmycakes. I never thought to use those trays to store polish. Very pretty.

I need to ignore the Illamasqua talk. I've been curious about their blushes, but haven't purchased any because I thought they're very similar to NARS blushes. Does anyone know if this is the case? I have a bunch of NARS blush already, so don't want any dupes.

I also did my first ever mid-week polish change last night. I'm so proud of myself. I used BL Victoriana. It's so pretty. But Sech Vite nearly ruined it. I applied the top coat to my right hand first and everything was fine, then it was like I was applying syrup to my nails by the time I got to my left hand. I'm going to see if I can find that Posche top coat.

^ I never read this

Katie is gorgeous! It was my first Illamasqua blush. I then went on to buy Naked Rose (looks a lot like The Perfect Cheek) and Thrust.

I'm glad to hear that, really can't wait to try my new blushes

My package shipped today, so hopefully i'll receive it by the end of next week. And thanks for the heads up, i won't be buying Naked Rose then since i already have The Perfect Cheek. Thrust looks very pretty, need to remember that one next time i'm ordering

Well. that's one helluva list!

Some top coats just don't get along with certain finishes. Sigh. It's weird that you only had issues with your left hand though. Is there any chance there was too little time between the final coat of polish and the top coat? I find that some finishes (foils like Zoya Zuza, in particular) need more time between the last coat of colour and the top coat.

Poshe is a very good TC. I hope you can get hold of it.


Thrust is very pigmented. If you like your blush bright and pigmented. and don't mind the extra work blending, it's a great choice. If you favour more subtle and lower maintenance cheek colours avoid it like the plague!

Well. that's one helluva list!

I'm not sure. But I'll keep this in mind the next time I do my nails. I know I was trying to see how fast I could finish.
