Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Fuzzy]

I hear you, Toronto is so much more expensive than other cities as well! Great haul! Sorry a bottle leaked on you, glad you are getting a new one. Great now me too. We had our first 'snow' (Blowing snow/ice that did not keep on the ground) here... so I celebrated with a pine scented candle and a cup of hot chocolate!

It's very expensive in Toronto- even Markham has better prices lol Likely due to the property costs. It snowed? I must have been sleeping!

Nice that they are sending you another one. What is a mini can of Batiste with polish points?

This little can of dry shampoo

NailPolishCanada gives points on purchases that let you get things from the rewards 'catalogue' they have.

Just a quick question, those who ordered from the ILNP pre-order, did you get your free Absolute Zero polish? I've just received mine, but no Absolute Zero. Was I supposed to add that to the order or was it automatically sent to everyone who ordered?

 

[LastContrast]

Hmm well I didn't mention it specifically so I sure hope it arrives.

couple of recent manis - illamasqua throb - true red creme


essence - just in case, sort of a light bronze

Throb looks nice! I think I have avoided all reds from them though (but have a ton of others).

Lovely manis!

I am having such a hard time not patching up any little chips on my nails.. but since I am still comparing top coats I need to leave them. Grr.. just a couple more days. Good thing I went with such a neutral colour.

I received my order and Absolute Zero was included. I did not add it to the order. You may want to contact her.

Thanks. I have contacted her. I've also checked and the e-mail about the order being shipped shows Absolute Zero, so I guess it was automatically added. Hope they still have some, or failing that, at least she'll offer to send me another polish. Fingers crossed.

I have 3 kids. I regularly get questioned about how much food we buy in the supermarkets - but even though the boys are small they are are really healthy and growing (and slim in spite of how much they eat!!) and teenage girls are HUNGRY when they get back from school. We go through about 10litres of milk a week, 3-4 loaves of bread, 4-5 kgs of fruit etc etc We mainly eat at home as it's not really worth taking everyone out to eat most of the time - its easier to cook something quick at home.

I'm quite lucky with my husband, we are still quite in love after all this time. But we have a blended family and it's rarely smooth or easy. My husband works a lot and feels pulled in every direction and kids, well, they respond to stress. And I'm the ultimate introvert and seem to struggle to find a corner to myself many days (or a finally sink into one and someone stick their head around the corner to tell me about the funniest thing that happened today). I use painting my nails as a breather sometimes ('no mummy has wet nail someone else will have to pull your lego apart') but even then I get aksed to do the kids nails!! I have the only preschooler with skittle glitter nails in his class.

Glad to hear about your love for your husband. I share those sentiments about mine. Marriage is work---but then so is anything worth having. You can't just set-it & forget-it---you have to tend to it, and it sounds like you already do that.

I love that makeup and NP are my drugs of choice. I polished my nails last night with my pup curled on my lap. She wants to be held constantly, so there she sat the entire time...even as they dried and I didn't get a single smudge.

 

[Medgal07]

Thank you! And Emerald crush looks great on you!
I hear you, Toronto is so much more expensive than other cities as well!

Great haul! Sorry a bottle leaked on you, glad you are getting a new one.

Fabulous polishes!

And I agree, we have a great group of charming, witty and fun women here!


ALL OF THEM.



Great now me too. We had our first 'snow' (Blowing snow/ice that did not keep on the ground) here... so I celebrated with a pine scented candle and a cup of hot chocolate!

Current mani is Deborah Lippman Satin Doll, a much tamer hue than I usually wear, but I like it! I have Nails Inc gell effects on half the nails, and forgetting about Seche Vite I put the Julep Freedom (Gel like) top coat on the other half. 24 hours, and I am not noticing a difference so far. I like Seche vite better than both I think.

Bcteagirl...you are indeed a girl after my own heart. I love hot chocolate (sometimes with a touch of Rumplemintz) or hot cider and burning candles. I find that the best
way for me to relax on a cold night....oh and a soft throw & a good book.

Barbra from ILNP has replied already and is sending me a bottle of Absolute Zero. Now that's what I call customer service!

 

[Anitacska]

At least we have the NPs, regardless of the situation! I see you got some of the Essies! But the one on the right is not Belugaria, no? Yes, the CbL restock is tomorrow. Check out the times on FB.


Nice to see you, Honey! Oh, a fire, that's a terrible thing to happen. Good to hear no one was hurt and I hope you did not get big damages.

No, it's one of the Luxeffect, called Jazzy Jubilant. It's not available here in the UK, so I got it on eBay together with the other two.

HOB, nice to see you again, sorry about the office fire though, how awful.

I saw Buick over on the UK thread, she says she's not been hauling np, so that's why she's not been here. I miss her witty comments.

I had a hideously busy day today, but did manage to take pictures of my mani which I'll post tomorrow. I'll take pictures of my ILNP haul tomorrow. Just made my Llarowe wishlist... Oh dear.

I'm off to bed now though, I'm knackered.

That's awesome!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Anneri, you look so beautiful and happy!!!

I have been lurking the past week or so. Just my luck we had an office fire (everyone is ok) but we had to move out of our office into a temporary location. The last week has been horrible.

I miss CC too!

I'm tempted to get Minuit every swatch I've seen is so pretty!


So sorry to hear about your car and relationship. Best advice I can give is to keep busy! That's the only way I was able to keep my mind off things most of them time. The gym really helped too..




Love those Zoyas!

I was sooo tempted by the rbl sale but I sat it out. Well, let me rephrase that. I went to her site and it was down so I took that as a sign that I didn't need anything lol



Emerald crush is gorgeous!! Love how rich the color is and that added sparkle

Thanks medgal!! Now I'm craving oreos and milk

My three Dior holiday NPs arrived today and Minuit is my favorite of the three. I'll take pics in the daylight tomorrow. I hope it looks as pretty on my nails as it does in the bottle

I hear you! I love books. WHen I moved I had to get rid of almost 10 boxes of them, it broke my heart Reading Snow Falling on Cedars right now, you?

I wonder if there is a book thread on this board

In terms of Rose Gold polishes, I am not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but Stella by Cirque looks very nice.

about your books! You can do a search on the forum for a book thread. I'm currently reading 'Me Before You,' which is really pretty good. Did you read 'The Book Thief' ? I see they've made it into a movie that will be coming out soon. That was a very good book too.

I'll add that one to my list, thanks. I just googled it----the micro glitter is rose gold and the base looks tangerine. I'm actually hoping she'll like the DL polish. It's very pretty. I'm still waiting for the EL one to arrive. Apparently the EL polish is very popular. I had a hard time finding it. EL didn't even have it on their own web site!

I was quite happy with my list until I just noticed that she has added more shades and I want one of them. I can only get 7 this time, and now I have to skip one that was originally on my list.

Speaking of Llarowe...I got not one, but two packages from them today!!

I tried to capture the few sun rays we had but it was still difficult to photograph some of them:



That's a fact Jack, All Bidness, Unorthodox Annie, Smooth Criminal, Monkey see Monkey Do, Precious Metal



Chasing Rainbows, Ground Control, Hardware/Hardware

(awesome 'tangerine' metallic holo glitter!), Belissima, Blue Prediction

Finally a quick mani I did late last night: Hare Dead Man's Bones.

 

[Bcteagirl]

Ok wow, I need to own that Hare's polish. Actually I need to own any Hare's polish.

Hare, KBShimmer and cadillaquer are on my list for 'polishes to buy next year'.

Lovely! I'm still waiting for mine. I have loads of EdMs, 5 CrowsToes and the Box Indied hopefully arriving soon, and I'm still waiting for my Hares (fall 2012 ones) to be shipped. It's going to feel like Christmas when everything arrives!

Which CbLs are on your list? I have 12 at the moment, mostly holos, but also some of the glitters! Getting excited! Going to ask them to merge my order with the Lilypad/Jindie Nails restock tomorrow, really want the Llarowe Xoxo polish plus a few others. Sadly not all colours will be restocked.
