Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[CartoonChic]

Can't wait to find out about the BL winter collection!

I may have to miss out on triple points. I went crazy with indies these past couple of weeks. How'd you get Bobby Dazzler for $10? There's a sale?

 

[CartoonChic]

its at their website http://elevationpolish.bigcartel.com/
shame on your for abandoning Sallys! LOL i havent been there for polishes too, just seche and wax.

i got the whole maybelline speckled collection. i luv them all!!!
Nice EdM haul! and your mani

, your nails are looking good!!

ohh i cant wait to see which ones. i have like 4 nubars and i like them alot. holo i have reclaimed the green one. super gorgeous!

hey thanks for sharing! Amazing haul. you did very Well!!! from the ones you got i have the zoya jelly, very pretty. the CG look great. and the EdM ones too. (im trying so hard to skip the brand but no one is helping here so far)
i didnt know canada had marshalls, well i dont know many things about canada

Congrats on your First Picture polish. i only have one. PARADISE

the metallic/foil ones look good but meh and that white texture may just be the worst texture polish in the universe!
Lucky Girl!! Haul haul haul in that sale!!! OPI is getting expensive everywhere. for those prices you are better off hauling indies.
sorry about your job situation. hopefully youll get one soon so you can reward yourself with some polish!!

Thanks! I'm patiently growing out the brittle cracked tips of my nails and they'll probably get shorter as I cut/file them off. I have about a third to grow out. I'm excited to have my healthy nails back. I'm glad I was finally able to pinpoint the items that made them unhealthy.

Oops! I said Emily de Molly. I meant to say Femme Fatale. I need to go back and edit that. I was lucky and hauled them during a flash sale on discontinued colors.

I thought you had more than just one Picture Polish? Way more than one.

I need Congratulations! Its so pretty! Is Enchanted not sold on llarowe? I can't find it under shop by collection.

This should be mentioned. If you plan to start buying Enchanteds, you'll have to be lightning fast. They sell out within seconds. You should also expect website crashes, slow loading speed, and possible problems when trying to check out. Enchanted has about 45,000 fans on Facebook. So you have mass hoards of people trying to but the polish all at once. It can get very ugly. It's worse than any MAC launch by far.

Now the last restock on Enchanted's own website went really well in my opinion. The website didn't crash and some of the polishes stuck around for a few minutes longer than usual.

I had great luck with Nail Polish today! Went shopping around, and picked up my two packages on the way back. Here is the sum total:


I put a 'Thank you' in the notes section at Nail Polish Canada, and I got suckers and a 'Your Welcome' note. Sorry about the lighting on this particular photo, it is evening and I don't have many lamps etc set up here yet.



Winner had a three pack of China Glaze toppers (Graffiti glitter, Mosaic Madness and Glitz'n pieces) packed together in a clear plastic bag and marked for 9.99. Three for ten is not a bad deal!


Marshalls had a Zoya (Left) and a Butter London (right). So I grabbed both. THe Zoya is Bobbi and the Butter London is Shambolic.

This is my first Butter London and my first full sized Zoya.

The middle Zoya is Katherine and was in my package from NPC! A dark purple jelly.





The last three all all from NPC. My first picture polish (Mallard) and my first two Emily de Molly polishes! (A certain shade of green and oceanic forces).

I did very well today

Great haul!

there's a few colors that are $10, mostly the summer colors and cheeky. BD was the only one I didn't have already.

Only few mins to order? I ll try! do you know when is the next restock?

Not yet, but so far it seems to be once a month at Enchanted's website. Usually towards the end of the month, so it's possible there could be another restock happening next week. I'm not sure since there was already a restock earlier this month. You definitely want to sign up for her newsletter at the bottom of the page to stay informed.

The stockist restocks vary. I think there's a general time frame of 2-3 months between stockist restocks. We're all waiting on Mei Mei's Signatures to restock next. And you're better off thinking that there's only a few seconds to order. Thinking in minutes is too long.

Some haul spam for a lazy Sunday afternoon. These are recent hauls within the past 2 weeks.



Enchanted Polish: TenderHeart; Yesterday; Queen of the Castle; August 2013; Autumn

Here's the difference I see between the 3 different Castle top coats.

Castle on a Cloud = purple holographic shimmer
Ice Castle = blue holographic shimmer
Queen of the Castle = pink holographic shimmer




Hare Polish: Zoltar Speaks; Read My Biorhythm; Test Your Love!; Peepshow Magique

I swatched each one on my nails. Test Your Love! is my favorite. I forgot that they're jellies, so was surprised when they applied sheer. Peepshow Magique is different enough from Washed Ashore in comparison. Peepshow Magique has gold flakies and appears a cooler, paler shade of pink on my nails. Washed Ashore has silver glitter and pink shimmer with blue irridescent bits. I prefer Washed Ashore between the two colors.




Picture Polish: Festival; Shocked; Vampire




Dollish Polish: (Row 1) Zombie Flesh; Gotham City;

Things Are Looking Very GRIMM; (Row 2) Ferb, I Know What We're Gonna Do Today; Those Meddling Kids; Have A Berry Good Day; That's So Fetch​

Zombie Flesh looks grey in my pic, but it's a dull, pale green. Dollish Polish has started a program where if you own 100+ of her polishes, you get a 10% discount for life, a custom polish made and a t-shirt. I'm only about a quarter there. This isn't one of the brands where I try to buy all of the shades. I'm going to get the new LE monthly polish called Walker Bait and some of the Halloween polishes. That'll make me a little closer. She only has 2 people who have qualified so far and one of them stopped counting after 235. I had no idea she even made that many colors.




Butter London: (Row 1) Artful Dodger; Blagger; Inky Six; (Row 2) Knackered; HRH; Indigo Punk; Giddy Kipper; (Row 3) Cotton Buds; Silly Billy; Blowing Raspberries; Pistol Pink; (Row 4) Pimms; Wellies; Jaded Jack; Dosh

 

[Bcteagirl]

e EdM ones too. (im trying so hard to skip the brand but no one is helping here so far) i didnt know canada had marshalls, well i dont know many things about canada

Congrats on your First Picture polish. i only have one. PARADISE

Well thank you very much.. that one just went on my wishlist now. I hope you are happy.

I guess I should take your recommendations seriously since I do LOVE the Seche Vite top coat I blame you for enticing my to buy
What base coat do you use?

Zoya Bobby on my hands all day with Seche Vite top coat. After a hard day at book sales (Pulling through piles of books etc) they still look great! Will try to get a picture while it is still light out today.

Wow. So very very very jealous. Great hauls!

 

[Anitacska]

Santa says you should've ordered Stolen Reindeer, too!

Are those two FFs two of the newest ones? They don't match my bottles.


Thanks, kimibos! - Someone I know very closely has the whole Eden collection.

Awesome manis, kimibos!

Love all of them. Great layering ideas, too. I bet the SG one is just gorg, I had it on my toes for like 1.5 months!


You live in NP heaven!

I love uber glitter, esp. holo glitter on holo!

Lookin good!


Love the EdMs, there are 4 I don't have. Congratulations looks awesome, surprisingly light.


I love the Essie too. I also liked BL Hardwear. I was able to use almost 7/8 of it. Don't like the BL Nail Foundation though. My BC is Essie Ridge Filling BC. It's not too opaque.

Domi!

I don't know if they're new, but they are Bottle of Infinte Stars and Edge of Cosmos if that helps. They are my only 2 Femme Fatale polishes, so I don't have any comparisons.

Rainbow Connection has re-opened in the UK today, but I'm too afraid to look. I spent quite a bit on make up today (including the new UD Vice Palette and some Armani ETK eyeshadows), I went to London to meet a friend for lunch.

Takko Lacquer: Kaleidoscope Eyes; To Infinity And Beyond; Kiss the Sky; Heads Will Roll

Kaleidoscope Eyes and To Infinity And Beyond didn't photograph correctly at all. Kaleidoscope Eyes is a teal/purple duochrome. To Infinity And Beyond is a purple/green duochrome. Not black or grey like they look in my pic.




Hare Polish: (Row 1) Neon Palm; Flight of the Flamingos; Washed Ashore; (Row 2)

Whew! Now I see how I went over my polish limit last month. I see some polishes are missing, like my Colors by Llarowe and Dior hauls. I'll have to take pics of them. I still have a couple of other odds and ends polishes to take pictures of, too. I'll do it later.

 

[CartoonChic]

Thanks. Trying to clear pics off my phone.

Wait, out of all your polishes, those are your first Femme Fatales? I thought you had Winter Hyacinth and other colors.

 

[josephine90]

do you guys like zoya pixie dust? since they are offering free shipping right now, I ordered tomoko to try!

 

[MRV]

Yes, very much so!!

 

[MRV]

And my mani! This is Elevation Toubkal (the formula was great, no sign of bubbling inspite of my tendency to put thicker layers & dried quickly) and AE She Walks in Beauty (not sure this is the best for gradients, it was a bit difficult to make it drag).

 

[LastContrast]

Dying at that mani MRV, aengland is still impossible to get in Australia at the moment but mei mei does have it and has a 20% off sale at the moment at they do have a-england.... and emily de molly, darling diva and so on. hope it helps someone! off to see if I can rustle up some $$ for a dance legends polish
