Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

New Orly polishes from eBay and my two Rainbow-Connection orders (all arrived today):





The Lacquer Lust holos look quite dull, not the holo, but the colours, it'll be interesting to see how they look on.

Any of my UK girls that wants a 10 pound gift voucher to Models Own website? 10 wont even cover the shippnig here to denmark (which is 15 freaking pounds) so I wont use it. Anitacska maybe?

If you do want to use it, I'd be happy to order stuff for you and send it. Nail polish is a bit risky, but make up should be fine and it shouldn't cost too much. If not, I guess I can always take it off your hands...

Any tips for speedy removal? I was planning on doing the foil removal like I do with my glitters.

Hi there HOB. I hope you're having a blast! i wish I could help but I've never had the gel manicure. I might have read somewhere that soaking them in acetone is effective.

It seems to have gone past, a tree on our street has fallen down and we lost electricity for about 20 minutes but nothing severe thank goodness. Now hoping everyone in Sweden is safe aswell since it is quite bad there aswell.

Glad you Ladies are okay...stay safe!!!!

Here's my latest mani, Faisal from Make Up store!

I'm in the midst of a hurricane that has pulled in over Denmark a few hours ago and its getting kinda creepy, there are trees all over the road and one of those huge construction-structures in metal that you use outside houses has fallen over a mainstreet in the middle of the city. Starting to think that electricity will go out if this continues to become worse, fingers crossed.

So very pretty!!!!

^^Sand in my Stocking looks just like KK Fireworks

Hey girls, hope everyone stays safe from the storms.
I can't sleep at all at night, I'm scared a tree will fall on my house. My bedroom is on the 1st floor and there's a forest directly next to my house, so I'm lying in bed like this ---->

staring at the trees shaking in the wind through my roof window, lol.

Oh poor you. I'm sure it will be fine though. We were woken up at 6.20 am by the wind, my husband went outside and moved our cars off the drive onto the road as we have a big oak tree next to us and we were afraid a brand would fall onto one of the cars.

Sand in my Stocking also has some gold stars though!

Waaayyy too many posts to catch up on. My laptop died last week and I had to make up work from the lost time. I needed to stay away from distractions, so no Specktra. I think I'm caught up enough now to come out to play. I'll try to summarize my responses.
Thanks for all the compliments about my manis and hauls. I've seen some really gorgeous mani pics since my last post.

I received a bunch of my orders last week. I'll post pics soon. I managed to order from the Colors by llarowe restock last Tuesday. It was very difficult. I would've just waited had I known that there would be another easier restock on Wednesday. I could've avoided a huge headache. The bright side is that since I ordered from the Tuesday restock, my orders have already shipped. Tracking hasn't updated, but I think I'll get them this week. I know the Wednesday restock has a wait of up to 6 weeks to ship.

Med, your puppy is too cute for words. Your cat looks very cuddly, Anitacska. One of my cats was diagnosed with diabetes. I took him to the vet today and we got his prescription for insulin. I need to go back to the vet so he can take additional tests and so they can show me how to give the shots. This should be interesting. This cat squirms and wiggles a lot. It takes two of us just to trim his claws. But he's a trooper and I know he'll be fine.

I'm glad I didn't get the chance to order from I Love NP yet. I think I'll wait to preorder the Ultra Chrome holos so I can get the free LE polish. I also can't wait for the next Enchanted restock. Congrats to those who ordered from Norway Nails! I'm glad that the system worked out and you were all able to get something. I like the new Enchanted silver holo. It reminds me a lot of Chanel Holographic. I also love the Halloween polishes and their black boxes! I think Vampires Suck is a black cherry color.

Lol! I think I may be rambling at this point. I'm glad everyone dealing with the storm is safe!

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.

This is such a cute story. I mainly wear glitter on accent nails because I can't stand the process of removing it. However, I really like Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter A-Peel. It's a peel away base coat. It really works, but I found that sometimes it will peel off unexpectedly. I would look down at my hands and notice my polish was missing. I did some experimenting and found a solution that has been working for me. I first apply Glitter A-Peel to the nails I plan to accent with glitter. Then I apply Glisten & Glow Stuck on Blu! base coat on top of the Glitter A-Peel. The sticky base coat seems to stop the Glitter A-Peel from randomly peeling away.

At first I tried applying Stuck on Blu! to the nail first, then Glitter A-Peel on top of it. My thinking was that the sticky base coat would act as a glue to stop the Glitter A-Peel from rubbing off unexpectedly. MISTAKE! It did work and the Glitter A-Peel stayed in place. The problem occurred when I tried to remove the polish. The Glitter A-Peel did peel off like it's supposed to, but the surface of my nail was also peeling away since Stuck on Blu! was applied to my nail first.

I decided to keep experimenting anyway and tried applying Stuck on Blu! over Glitter A-Peel. I didn't expect it to work. The whole point of me using Stuck on Blu! in the first place was so it would provide a sticky surface to make Glitter A-Peel stay on. If I'm applying it on top of Glitter A-Peel, I'm defeating the purpose. I'm happy to report that it does work. Glitter A-Peel doesn't rub off anymore and I'm able to peel away the polish without damaging my nails. I've used this method for my last 4 manis and glitter removal has been a breeze! I'm going to continue to monitor my nails to make sure there's no damage occurring. As of right now, I'm extremely happy with the results.
