Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[MissTT]

Just popping in to say hello. Jealous of all your manis as usual. I absolutely stink at painting my nails and they always look sloppy. My long nails have all broken off and I think it's due to me taking someone's advice to use acetone to remove my glitter polishes. Any easy ways to remoisturize my nails? Any less harsh removers to get rid of stubborn glitter?

Last night I was working the cash register and cute young lady was telling me she was a bit of a nail polish fanatic. I asked her what other brands she liked besides Formula X and she mentioned Dior and some UK brand I forget now. I said, "So you like indie brands? Like Enchanted?" Ha ha blew her socks off! We talked crazy restocks and stalking. I asked what was on her nails and guessed Seven Nation Army. She about fell out. (This will likely be the only time in my life I can identify somebody's nail polish.) She said we were nerds. I never thought I'd be talking Enchanted and Emily de Molly with a person who owned the polishes. It was a cute and silly interaction.

That's such a cute story! Glitter polishes are hard to remove, but when I use tin foil to wrap the cotton swap that has remover on it around my nail it gets a bit easier. I let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes and most of the polish comes off.

I got some nail mail today, too. WFU arrived from Pshiiit, still waiting for Magical Mystery Tour. WFU leaked a bit but there doesn't seem to be a crack, so I hope the the lid just wasn't screwed on tight enough. I had Yesterday, too, but unfortunately it was oversold and she had to refund the money.

Also, All Love Garden and Kids (both from Mei Mei's restock) and the Takkos arrived.






I love All Love Garden, it's a goldish dark green with intense linear holo.






Btw, there will be Multichromes from Liquid Sky Lacquer soon! I really love their quality and formula, so I might buy a couple. I have some thermal holos from LSL and they are fantastic, the best thermals I've had so far and the scattered holo is strrrrrong. This is Wine and Roses:

Transition, daylight:



Warm (a dusty rose), sunlight:


Cold (a beautiful plum shade, reminds me of Sleeping Palace from A England):

This is some serious nail porn. That plum is to die for! I love the polish bottles too!

GREAT story MissTT!!!!! an an awesome way to relate to a customer! I'm sure she loved it!!!

I love the look of glitter, but other than for an accent nail or two I avoid it because I don't want to spend an hour trying to get it off. Perhaps a brief break form NP other than some nail strengtheners that can be polished on may help. I'm sure some of our NP PROs here can give you some good ones, by name.

I used peel off base coats for glitters but I find tip wear is a lot worse with them. I love them, but don't love the removal. I also have lots of breakages, I have been swimming lots and getting kids in and out wet swimming costimes = lots of broken nails.

This is Emily De Molly Majestic Flight. It's so nice and bright, perfect for the warmer weather.

Have you seen the new Llarowe A Box Indied? It's launching today. I really like all the polishes in it, so I might get it. Also Harlow & Co are launching 6 new Femme Fatale holos today! So much for not buying more nail polish...

Seriously. I was all "enough for now..." after my big CbL/Dance Legend order but I've made the mistake to look at some of the FF holos... Void Shatter and Deepstone in particular... ah well.

Will there be another Enchanted restock soon? Chelsea has added the Imagine and the TTP collections as well as the toppers to her site again. No "Ocotber 2013" in sight yet, though.


Aaaand since Vampires Suck arrived and I have some days off and the sun is shining:

indoors:

outdoors:

I really like it, a dark reddish brown, opaque in two easy coats.

Additional pic with my dog Roxy in the background who always patiently waits when I'm taking pics of my nails in the middle of the woods <3

 

[Anitacska]

This is beautiful!

I second that!


Waaah, now I need these both.

I'm sorry about your nails, that blows. I have heard very good things about Essie's Millionails nail care basecoat, although I haven't tried it myself. Maybe that one would be something to repair and pamper your nails? Considering removing glitters, I always use the method Pinkdollface mentioned, it would work with acetone free remover, too, I guess.

CRAP!!! now i feel bad about not catching Autumn! all your new EP look amazing! Moth :eyelove: huh idk about Djinn now. maybe the cbl lace one maybe better. i dont want one that is going to change the color.  Very Pretty PDF! i want this one.  Beautiful manis! i really like warm, i need to get some color changing polishes!  nice nail mail!! EP kids is just one of my fave ones.      :eyelove:        im waiting for my hares too. they say oct 30th but i want them before that!    i didnt haul from the cbl pre-order. she got me reallll broke this time hahaha  i didnt get a takko restock alert but like i say im broke so ill stick to real tortilla tacos made at home    sorry about your card. i hope you can get the new one soon. 

my hares are out for delivery! Originally it said the 29th so maybe urs will come sooner too! my card should be here next week... I wanted more CBLs but I can wait. She has been busy making MORE new colors according 2 her fb. I can't ever catch up! Gosh lol

nope i think they are all new. about pony, i think its just the formula, or my bases, or idk my bad luck, maybe i just got a sucky one. i luv the rest of my crowstoes tho.  do the EP Afternoon delight.  im wearing hare dead man's bones since u mentioned getting it. 

I ended up getting home really late and I just used crowstoes storms need last over pony. It was gorgeous but my pics didn't capture it well. I will use afternoon delight after Halloween lol. I'm using as many dark colors as I can this week! I wanna see bones on ya!

That's a lovely mani for the season! :eyelove: Awesome polishes and manis you've got there, Naughtyp! Thanks, kimibos! You can put them both on your list...:lol: If you just put a thin layer, it won't change it, but it looks like this (my previous mani): Today's mani is also very season appropriate: Isadora Wine Crush (awesome again!) and Zoya Dhara I got three of the new Isadora sands last week. I think I was the first one to grab them because the display was full. They look really beautiful in the bottle but they were impossible to photograph.

Thank you! I love those sands! Very halloweenish! and that blue looks like water for unicorns! I like djinn I think it looks best over light or right colors. Darker colors make the silver stand out too much. I want the llarowe one too, so I don't use up all my djinn lol The sands are hard to capture ( my opi and zoyas at least) sometimes pictures do not do a polish justice they must be worn to be appreciated

I used EP Time to Pretend last night, have taken pictures, but they're on the other computer, will upload them a little later. It's very pretty.

I have to say, as much as the whole EP business annoys me, I still really love the polishes, especially the multichrome holos. I received my Pshiiit Boutique order yesterday and while Mr Burgundy is nice, it's not that special. BRBMoth is quite unique, but for me it's the Time to Pretend and Beatles polishes that are the biggest stars.

Vampire suck is so pretty! I need to try it this weekend. Btw how did you do that accent nail? Its amazing!

I can't buy anything until nov 1st (ipad's fault). But anything after that is fair game, hopefully I dun missed out too much

 

[rekhyt]

If anyone is interested in the new Femme Fatale holos and the Birthstone holo collection of Lacquer Lust, they're up on Harlow & Co. now.

Anitacska, josephine, it's Cirque: Cypress and French Roast. They are both scented, that's definitely something I have to get used to, ha. French Roast is a clear base with tons of brown glitter and copper, gold and brown shimmer... I can't take an accurate pic of it because all the bling freaks out my camera.

 

[josephine90]

Thanks rekhyt! I ll get those next month if i could find them I probably would not be able to create such a pretty accent like you, my skills are limited to painting one shade LOL

 

[rekhyt]

josephine, it's the easiest accent nail to create.

I'm too clumsy and lazy for a real colour gradient (the clean up for those look like a pita, ugh) and a glitter gradient is fast and simple, try it!
