Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anneri]

I checked her blog, that bunny gif is getting a workout this week!

I've got no money though, so none for me!
great haul! (except for avojuice- I am sooo allergic! haha)

I haven't checked it and can only imagine what you mean, but I wanted to say (with a view upon recent shenanigans here): Ladies, it's SO INCREDIBLY NICE that we have such an active thread here on specktra that isn't affected by any drama.

I was threatening to post bunnies in Divine Night! As you can imagine, bunnies were posted. LOL

That was a free gift. Is it bad? I've never tried it.


Yes, this is a fantastic, friendly, supportive thread.

I don't actually know what's gone on elsewhere, I very rarely check other threads, only the UK one and the Guerlain one usually, and the recent Mac collections for swatches, but don't really read anything. Dare I ask what happened?

First it was the last Riri release (it's always Riri, whatever collection it is) with its waiting room, discussions about ebay resellers, noobies that feel threatened, the whole discussion about being cliquey, then there was the drama in Divine Nights which evolved into a discussion about the future of specktra in general, noobies and releases and then there was the now locked Sephora F&F sale thread which I briefly skimmed this morning for sh***s and giggles - there were masses of new members with one or two posts wanting the discount code from MissTT. SMH.
And Fuzzy posted bunnies, which helped. (Me at least.)

I'm sure it's fine for most, but I'm allergic to avocados so it made my hands burn. ouch ouch! I should pay more attention!

I think I'm going to have to get with holographic nail polish soon!

You definitely should! Holo polishes are the best (except for multi-chrome holos, they are the bestest!).

i skipped the takko restock. but i just went to LLarowe, and im truly sad that the restock went bad. but i dont see why she has to stop announcing the time of restocks. i see that people were asking for her to not give any restock information.

it think that is just stupid. there is always going to be a high traffic into the site, there is always going to be people mad cause they missed out. i dont see why she has to please everyone that writes on her facebook page. idk

I absolutely agree with everything. Personally, I prefer announced restocks because the time difference sucks. People will always complain. I got all the Takkos I was interested in, no problem, although the website did take ages to load every step.

I think the trick is 1) not to refresh fervently but to let the side fully load on its own, as hard as that is if it seems to take forever, I know, I'm usually an impatient person myself.
and 2) not going to facebook and post complaints but staying focused on the site. I don't know, too many tabs open and posting on facebook might slow down the own internet connection a tiny bit and that tiny bit might be the crucial key factor in getting something? *I'm obviously not a tech-savvy person, so it's only some guesses which seem to work for me.*

China Glaze "Tongue & Chic". I reaaaally enjoyed this Such a pretty blueish greenish color!

I'm have an intense *buying blue polish* phase and this doesn't help, ha. Such a pretty colour!

 

[Anitacska]

Great haul, what's the fourth polish from the left called?


Oh, please do! You won't be able to stop staring at your nails when the light hits them.

I'm not aware of most of this drama either! I have not had time - nor energy - to follow the big threads. It's a bit overwhelming to get like thousands of posts in 24 hours!

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks, Anitacska! I have not received my CbL package yet, just the EPs this week I think. Chocking!

The stars make a nice accent!


Maybe the rest of the packages are still on their way? Nice haul! Which FFs did you get?


Funny bunny!

Never tried? I have a few of them atm. A big bottle next to sofa and a small one in my purse for emergencies.

Let's hope so! I got Sinister Calling, Lucent Amentrine, Suspended Starlight and Burning Dusk.

I'm seriously drooling over all the manis. Gorgeous! My current mani is a special Halloween + Breast Cancer Awareness mani for Med and her new pooch.

Illamasqua Ouija + Emily de Molly My Bleeding Heart layered over accent nails. I'm not sure if you can see the hearts. I tried taking pictures at different angels to make them more visible. Ouija is a UV Glow polish, so I really need to see this mani under a blacklight!








My Colors by llarowe polishes were delivered. Simply. Stunning. All of them are beautiful, but the colors that really send my heart aflutter are All Bidness, That's a Fact, Jack!, Gizzards & Lizzards, Strega, Purple Rain, and Her Eyes Shined. kimibos already raved about All Bidness. That's a Fact, Jack is also unique to me. It's a khaki holo with pink shimmer.

I'm still reorganizing my stash, but my Colors by Llarowe polishes have been upgraded to their own drawer.



Colors by llarowe: (Row 1) Angels Sing; Melon Wine; Strega; The Devil Wears Polish; Rednecks & Rubies; Sparkles are a Girl's Best Friend; (Row 2) Unorthodox Annie; Bad; Purple Rain; Her Eyes Shined; Gizzards & Lizards; That's a Fact, Jack!; All Bidness
This has also been a very busy restock week!

Enchanted Polish

• September 2013
• Vampires Suck
• To Die For

Takko Lacquer

• Muse
• Opium
• Va Va Voom

Picture Polish

• Imperial
• Jasmine
• Siren Song

Hare Polish

• Afterglow
• Rusty Hearts
• Ancient Affairs

I'm so glad I was wrong about Hare's price increase. I still prefer buying Hare's directly from the Etsy store, so I'm happy more older colors were restocked today. I've been waiting for those shades to restock together for quite some time. And that bunny gif is too much!

I'm a big fan of cart hold since my brain (or fingers, ha) seems to freeze with shock for a couple of seconds once I've hit the "add to cart" button and notice, omg I actually have it in my card, lol!






My october haul, so far. I'm wearing Deal with it from Cult Nails (upper left corner) as a halloween mani and that colour is something else.

Still waiting for China Glaze - Riveting, Takkos (Nirvana, To Infinity and Beyond, Opium), Pretty Serious - Haddonfield, EP (Kids, All Love Garden, Vampires Suck) and Polished by KPT (Nostalgia, Nightcrawler).

I also had a moment of extra-crazy-for-polish and requested a custom colour from Lllarowe. It's finished now and I can't wait for it to arrive.

 

[Anitacska]

It seems Pshiiit Boutique had an EP restock, but everything is sold out now, only the Youth is available if anyone's interested. The rest of my Llarowe polishes have arrived! Weirdly they were all posted on the same day, but that's the Royal Mail for you.

I'm off to take pictures now.

 

[Anitacska]

Oh, sorry, the bottom picture. It looks like someting rosey/goldish from Femme Fatale or EdM?

You have magic polish powers, very impressive haul, congrats!

Thanks for the info, it's gorgeous, I just looked at swatches. Another polish on my neverending wishlist....

I want a burned orange jelly with goldish glitter and a bit of red shimmer, very autumny.

This is Deal With It, first pic in the sun and second pic in normal daylight, aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I wore this at work yesterday... I am so glad we don't have any rules about nail polish.
