Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[CartoonChic]

Oh my! I just bought two of these (Bluemarks and Clearly Spotted) and now I want a third.. will wait until they go on sale though.
(Edit: This should be a reply to the Speckled Pink manicure.. how do I get it to show the pictures with the reply?)

Just joined, after reading this thread for a few days and being so impressed with the polishes and manis! Just starting to get back into nail polish, and just starting to get into indie polish.

Spent the summer in Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) and bought a bunch of Mrs. P's Nail Potions, and recently ordered a set of minis from Starrily.. Nail Polish Canada is offering free shipping right now (And a contest with daily prizes!) and I ordered my first Models Own polish: Red Sea.

Waiting for a good Llarlowe sale/free Canada shipping now. I made up a wishlist twice, and twice it disappeared! Wrote them about it and we shall see what happens.. anybody else have problems forming an account with them with a Yahoo address?

Glad to have found a group of nail polishers to chat with.

As you can see, we love chatting about polish!
My Llarowe account is with a Yahoo address and it works fine. Did you make your wishlist on the old website? If so, wishlists didn't transfer to the new website. You'll have to remake it.

Scofflaw is restocking her Etsy shop Sunday the 15th @ 1pm CST. She's restocking all colors. Thunderkitty and Wee Beasties are discontinued shades, but she's bringing them back for this restock. This will be your last chance to get them if you wanted them. I only need 4 colors to have her entire collection.

the only one i want from Scofflaw is "Love Letter to Kurt Vonnegut" i wonder if its going to be available.

please polish gods!

Gorgeous! Didn't I tell you! I knew you would love Good Fortune. I've received all of my Colors by Llarowe polishes now, so I have a small army now.



I love the color of the jacket. Glad you were able to fix your nail.



Very pretty polish. But I feel the opposite about the bottle. I actually don't like that it's so huge.



Hmm. My suggestions are CrowsToes

Milquetoast or Dollish Polish Penny...Penny...Penny.​

What shade of apricot are picturing? Funny enough, Dior has a new Abricot shade out that's a soft, shimmery light peach.



I've been thinking about getting a custom polish, but don't know what to get. Dirty Diana, Beat It, Good Fortune and Zipper are must haves for me. If you want a stronger holo, get True Colors instead of Tank Tops & Flip Flops. The colors are similar, but Tank Tops is a little lighter with a softer holo. Smooth Criminal and

This Girl is on Fire...HELP!!! seem to be dupes of each other.​

ya I origionally had more but then they were all starting to look alike lol. m like ok how many of these do I really need lol

by the way, which chanels have u been looking up lol , is that your #1 collection?

 

[Naughtyp]

i like them alot. im still afraid to try them with a base coat or top coat tho. i like that the nfu oh polishes have 17ml and i found that one for only $10.
i want dirty diana badly.

the only one i want from Scofflaw is "Love Letter to Kurt Vonnegut" i wonder if its going to be available.

please polish gods!

Sorry maybe she brings it back. i did some enchanted googling and not good. i want the whole "time to Pretend collection" im hoping she has a whole set, that way i dont miss any or have to be adding like a crazie. the one call "kids" makes me droll..

 

[CartoonChic]

Ugh. So many polishes. I can't keep up. I haven't purchased any of the Jewel Heist polishes yet. Polish overload.

What are you asking me about the Chanels?

 

[Naughtyp]

Yes, you both need Dirty Diana! I need to post my pics. It seems like an ordinary magenta, but goes holo crazy in sunlight. I love it. My Glisten & Glow base and top coats seem to be working very well with holos.

Love Letter to Kurt Vonnegut is one of the colors I'm missing. It's LE, but she said she'll probably bring it back around Black Friday or the holidays. I hope she brings it back early in Sunday's restock. I also need Love Letter to Bea Arthur and she confirmed that one will be restock. I don't know if she'll have Underripe since that one is a Llarowe exclusive color.



What are you asking me about the Chanels?

sorry lol. I remember u saying u were looking up old Chanels that u were interested in buying...

 

[MACina]

Colors By LLa. GOOD FORTUNE i liked this one more than smooth criminal. the holo was stronger without sun light. very aqua/teal

no top coat or base coat

.....stunning, kimibos

I haven't tried HITS, but the polishes look pretty from what I've seen. I've seen those new Ultrachromes from I Love NP! I had never heard of the brand before, but those polishes are crazy. All of their polishes look quite nice. But I'm trying to avoid another new brand. Let's see how long that lasts.

That's pretty old! This one's probably the age of the building - coming up on 60 years. It's been having some issues with the heat tripping breakers but, this last time it wasn't that hot, just very sunny... So maybe there's something else now too.

I just checked, and the elevator is from 1936 (though the building was almost 50 years old when the elevator was built). My home elevator is also 60 years old, but luckily it has been renovated many times, even the operating machine was changed just recently.

Thanks for posting this! I went to Ulta Sunday before the Enchanted restock to get the Zoya bag. I was worried my Ulta would sell out of the gift quickly. Didn't want to risk waiting. I got Hunter, Sailor and Flynn from what was left. No pixies in sight. I'll go back for more colors later. The set is very nice. It comes with sample sizes of Remove+, base and top coats, and drying drops.

I can't remember who asked, but Flynn could possibly be a dupe for Dior Camel. I don't have Camel and have never swatched it, so I don't know for sure.

I'm so excited for the Butter London sale. I don't know if you all remember, but I've been saving all of my Ulta points for this specific sale. I have over 2000 points burning a hole in my pocket and I'm going to rack up on as many Butters as I can.

I looked up the Nordstrom exclusive Butter. I'm getting it at some point. I know it's a repromote of an older color. I hope Nordstrom has a Butter/Lippmann sale soon. Seems like forever since the last one.



Very pretty. I think I'll wear mine when it gets colder.



Ugh. So many polishes. I can't keep up. I haven't purchased any of the Jewel Heist polishes yet. Polish overload.

What kind of sale is it? I think Nordstrom had a BL/DL sale in August?


Oh, and current mani: Jindie Smells Like Green Spirit. This has not been available for a while I think. It was one of the first Indies I got in the beginning of this year.

 

[CartoonChic]

Not again!


Love the fabric! I think CC had nice suggestions for the NP.


Holo always makes it good!

That's a nice thought. Maybe I will gift myself a custom polish... or I shoud make my own. I already have some ingredients, but I spotted some other materials I want and it'll take some time to get them.


Buick has them. I only have one unworn: Am I not yours?

All Butters will be discounted to $10 on Sept. 14th at Ulta. Please don't say I've missed a Nordstrom Butter/Lippmann sale. I've been waiting for one so I could get points.

Jindie Smells Like Green Spirit looks so pretty! I've been waiting for that color to restock, but it hasn't yet. I hope it's not discontinued.

Good news! Llarowe is going to carry Glisten & Glow in a couple of weeks. I've been using the Stuck on Blu base coat for several manis, and I have to say I like it more and more each time I use it. The only thing I don't like about it is that it gets stringy when I apply it, but I can deal with it. I liked the HK Girl top coat from the first use. It's wonderful with holos.

Speaking of base coats, I think I may have pinpointed my yellowing issues. I think it's due to the Butter London Foundation base coat. I don't think it's responsible for staining my nails. However, I don't think it did a good job of protecting my nails from getting stained. Since I've been using the Stuck on Blu base coat, my nails have remained pink as they grow from the base. I can see a distinct line on my nails from where it's stained yellow to where it's pink.

I realized the Butter base coat was the culprit after I did a pedi. I hadn't done a pedi in months and my nails were perfectly fine before hand. After I removed the pedi, my toe nails were clearly stained yellow. Then I noticed how pink my finger nails remained after I stopped using the Butter base coat to test out the Stuck on Blu base coat. A benefit of Stuck on Blu is that it's meant to prevent staining.

I also notice that my nails aren't as dry or peeling as much since I stopped using the OPI drying drops. It's a shame because it worked great at drying my nails quickly. But I think it was just too drying for my nails to handle. Or maybe it was the combination of the drying drops with a quick drying top coat that was too much for my nails? Hmm... I may revisit the drops after my nails recover. I like their progress in the meantime and don't want to do anything to mess them up again.

Beautiful! I am a sucker for jelly like (or jelly like) polishes.

Last night I broke down and ordered Katherine by Zoya (A dark purple Jelly) and my first Picture Polish: Mallard. Canadianpolish still has its free shipping on any order on. My first order (Models Own Red Sea) arrived this morning. This is bad

Took a picture of my last mani.. I had to take it outside as inside it would only take blurry pictures. Will try to post later. Clean nails today, so I get to figure out what to put on them when I get home tonight.

 

[CartoonChic]

Good to know! Do they lower it from time to time for specials? If they do I will stock up then

That may have been my problem the first time, but the second time was quite recent. My whole account disappeared (after confirming it etc). Will try making a new account today and see if it sticks around for a few days, then try again. Thanks!

Don't make a new account! Just contact them and tell them your account issues. I think having multiple accounts screws up their system. I don't think they lower the shipping cost for specials. There are flash sales of specific brands on occassion and sometimes sales around holidays. There was recently a site wide 15% off Labor Day sale for example. I'm thinking there may be another sale around Halloween and probably Black Friday.
