Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

I've got a few pictures to share with you today, first up my Rainbow Connection haul:







And now my current mani. It's Butter London Fishwife topped with my own franken glitter topcoat on 2 fingers. I used a slightly shimmery topcoat from Andrea Fullerton and added some cheap glitter I got in TKMaxx and Primark, small round glitter, stars and moons. I think it looks as good as the Lynnderella topcoat I used a while ago, if not better.

Great haul, I really like your franken glitter topcoat!

Great haul. Your glitter franken is so cute!

Aaw, thank you, Anneri!

Sorry to hear you had a fight with hubby, yes, you should've come shopping with us instead! Maybe next time!?

No, I've never heard of that brand, but the polishes look good! I'm really into the spacey kind of polishes at the moment, bought lots with stars, moons and those planet looking big circles. Will eventually do a cool space themed mani with them.

I have a few haul pictures to share with you all, my Mei Mei order and my ILNP Absolute Zero came today, plus my Sally Magpies order and Illamasqua Perseid polish from Debenhams arrived yesterday. Oh and I picked up an OPI set with a base coat and a liquid sand polish in TKMaxx.









I went crazy hauling yesterday, ordered 13 KBShimmers and 2 Picture Polishes from Harlow & Co. (only missing Snow Much Fun now, but she said there'll be another restock in December, so fingers crossed), 6 of the new Liquid Sky Lacquers and another 2 random polishes from MeiMei and some more Liquid Sky Lacquers and Ethereal Lacquers from Rainbow Connection. Oh and on Tuesday I also ordered some Femme Fatales, Emily de Molly and Girly Bits polishes from Mei Mei. Eek!

There's a few more Christmas polishes left that I want to get and then I will STOP buying polish for a while, and only allow myself maybe 5 new ones a month. I have so many now, I need to enjoy using them instead of always lusting for new ones.

On that note, here's my current mani, Rimmel Gold Save The Queen with Emily de Molly Hardware on the accent finger:

I can't believe it Anitacska---my last mani was gold (MAC Rich, Rich, Rich/Marilyn collection) and gold accent nail w/OPI (Only Gold for Me)! Both my husband and daughter complimented it. I love your mani so much but I'm more amazed that we did the same thing, just w/ different NPs. I wish I had time for a pic but so busy w/Thanksgiving & Hanukkah. I've actually moved onto a blue mani for Hanukkah.

Awesome haul...love the green!!!

Beautiful blue mani!!! I'm wearing blue NP for Hanukkah...trying a different untried blue for the remainder of the holiday. Today I'm wearing Dior's Electric Blue with Hare's Mad Chill on top. That's a huge deal for me...I usually only allow myself an accent nail, but I love the Hare polish so much. Hopefully I'll post pictures soon.

Not you CC---you are SOOOOOOOO good at this! I just sit back and watch your tenacity with utter admiration. Lady you're a PRO!!!

My Wing Dust polishes came from Rainbow Connection today. I'd really wanted Steel Town Girl for a while which is the grey one, it's holo with flakies.



I bought these BL polishes in Harvey Nichols yesterday when I was in London. Petrol is really pretty. I also got the purple mascara, but haven't tried it yet.



Today's mani is Sally Hansen Purple Diamond. It's a grey/purple holo, pretty nice, but it's extremely slow drying and ended up getting messed up at night even though I waited about 3 hours after painting before I went to bed. Not cool. The holo's nice though.

Nice haul! That last NP reminds me of Hare's Mad Chill. I have that BL Double Take too---have you tried it? I might go for it tomorrow. I also got the other DT w/Brass Monkey & Rebel Fox, which I'll hopefully try after Hanukkah!

 

[Anneri]

Honi, love the mani. How did you manage to place the glitter pieces on your nails? Great hauls CC and Anitacska!!! I hope everybody had a relaxed Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I got too much stuff, but I enjoyed it. ) I only came home when Llarowe was back again and the 20% code was working and got three nps, very disappointed that the 20% didn't even cover shipping! Very stupid move to release a 30% code so early in the game, it was quite obvious that the site would crash, wasn't it? Oh well. Maybe one of us is one of the lucky ones who will get a CBL polish for free? Fingers crossed! Not nailpolish, but a haul: Everything I got in London!

And here's something special - my first hand-made polish!!!!! I love it to bits. The left pic shows it in natural daylight, the right one in direct sunlight to show the holo glitters that appear like coloured glitter:

 

[Honi]

I dipped some out of the bottle on a paper and placed them on my nails with a dotting tool Super easy since they already have the polish on them that will make them stick to the nails!

I received half of my Colors by Llarowe pre-order. I made 2 separate orders for the Holiday and Winter collections because the site was having so many issues at the time of the pre-order. I tried to make tings a little easier on myself and just ordered the entire set of the Xmas/Hanukkah 2013 collection in my 1st order. I ordered polishes from the Winter 2013 collection for my 2nd order and it should be delivered this week.




Colors by Llarowe: (Row 1) Coal in My Stocking; Come Dance the Hora; Silver; Gold; (Row 2) Oh Christmas Tree; Holly; The Man in the Red Suit; Rudy; Xmas 2013


My favorites are Come Dance the Hora and Rudy. However, I don't like the way Gold looks with my skin tone. Yellow golds tend to look weird on me.

 

[CartoonChic]

Your London haul looks like you had a lot of fun. OMG I love your polish! Fantastic job!

 

[CartoonChic]

Not you CC---you are SOOOOOOOO good at this! I just sit back and watch your tenacity with utter admiration. Lady you're a PRO!!!

Lol! You always know how to put a smile on my face.

Fuzzy, love the red mani!

Honi, beautiful black nails!

Anitacska, Anneri, CartoonChic: great hauls everyone!




Manhattan - Berlin Bling

It's a bit weird wearing something that puts you out of your comfort zone. But I'm starting to like it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, But there was a massive oversell at the Enchanted restock last week. Some polishes are going to get refunded. All shipping and refunds should be finished by December 14th. Some people are saying that they have already started to receive refund notices. I hope all of us get our full orders.

Also, Llarowe says the next Colors by Llarowe restock is December 10th. There's going to be a special New Year's Eve color added to the restock in honor of her son's birthday.

Awesome haul & very impressive HMP....it's just beautiful Anneri!
