Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[LoriQ]

Hi NaughtyP!

It's weird about how Specktra works fine for some poeple and not so well for others. I've had absolutely no issues with it.

About the CbL FB group. I know it's a closed group, but do you have to be invited or can you just ask to join? I've asked, but haven't been approved. Don't suppose you could invite me please? You know who I am on Facebook.

I'm still waiting for my Enchanteds, my Black Friday Llarowe order, my Darling Diva and Liquid Sky orders from Cyber Monday. Really bored of waiting now.


Yuck, that doesn't sound good. I hate freezing rain, snow and generally everything cold. It was raining here all day yesterday, but luckily it's sunny this morning. Much nicer.

Yeah I don't have any problems on this site whatsoever. Sometimes I use Internet Explorer and sometimes I use Chrome and no problems

I also use Chrome, but it works fine on my phone too (a cheap Android phone).

On the seventh day of Christmas, llarowe gave to me...the flu (thanks Julie)...for me...and a coupon code for you. Take 45% off of Gloss N Sparkle, Hare Polish and Jindie Nails with the following code at checkout in the coupon code section:

Seventh Day

Ps. It's Leah Ann that's got the flu, not me, lol.

I'll try to check back later.

We're good here in Waterloo. Lots of rain but so far we still have power and the roads are okay.

 

[Anitacska]

I'll try to check back later.

Hope you're okay Fuzzy!

Hey, power is still out. I have running water and my building is apparently really good at staying warm. 3G has been spotty most of day. The tree that was in the photo broke from the ice after 8:30am. I'll check back later.

Christmas mani time! Liquid Sky Lacquer Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins over Zoya Holly. For someone who has 1600+ polishes it was really difficult to find a matching base for this colour. I guess I don't normally wear greens much...



You mani looks like a Christmas tree! Red ornaments and a star!

I also did a quick mani with Nail Pattern Boldness Allons-y. (Above)

Oh, nice. Which polish is that blue one in the middle? And more French names - I might get tempted. Great mani!

Hope you're doing ok there. I just hear on the news this morning that a huge number of people are without power out there, and they might not get them back before a day or two. There's also centimetes of ice on trees so no wonder they break. We also had a storm again (small compared to yours), and some people are without power but lucklily we don't have any ice or snow, just water. Stay safe everyone!

TY for the link! Yes, I think I need swatches to decide. I have already skipped a few 'regular polish' collections this fall - I'm spoled by indies like Anneri!

Hope you'll get your tooth fixed. Nice to hear you got lucky and won a polish!

Yeah, it's been quiet around here without all the girls.

Hope we'll se them again soon.



That AE mani looks lovely - soft with studs

. I actually got a few studs with some order, too. I have a tool for placing Swarovski rhinestones which I think could work also with the studs. Did you place them under or over the TC?

Nice haul and love you franken! You always do them well.

Naughtyp! Yeah, looks like the girls have had a bit too fun

. I don't drink either, but only because I don't want to and these days I'm not even able to.

TY for reminding me of custom CbLs. I totally forgot to gift myself one. Maybe after the Holidays. Does she even take orders in now?

I still have not received my EPs - but I did get 20 new ones last week so can't complain. Please post pics!

Congrats on winning the Artdeco polish! Yay!
Don't worry too much about the tooth, I did something similar a few years ago and it wasn't bad at all when they fixed it.

I won a set by Smashbox a few days ago! Online Advent calenders ftw!

The Essies look a bit boring? I guess I'm spoiled by all the indies.


Anitacska, congrats on getting your car back!!! Enjoy!
All your polishes look awesome. Did you contact LLarowe because of the wonky looking one? No idea how they seperate like that, even my own homemade ones have never done that!

Here's a-england Her Rose Adagio. I used studs like this for the first time, it really is incredibly easy.



Speaking of studs (

) I want to use Crows Toes Hellhound with an Dalek accent nail like this one here for christmas: http://globeandnail.blogspot.ch/2013/12/guest-post-at-accio-lacquer.html
Sorry about mentioning Doctor Who again!

Here's my little haul from Edgy Polish:

IndigoBananas Anansi and With a Spoon in It, Different Dimension Slow Invasion (Doctor Who again - I can't help it, I'm a fangirl), Different Dimension Laissez le Bon Temps Rouler (GWP) and CrowsToes Hellhound.




And here's something special. A new polish I made on my own. It's a nude base with small red and gold holo glitters and larger hex glitters in rosegold and caramel. I really love it because it's not an in-your-face-polish, elegant, but not boring at all. (left - direct sunlight, right - in the shade)

Oh, yayy! Congrats on the Smashbox set! Was that on Magimania? I entered there too The number of advent calenders I enter everyday would be too embarrassing to admit, lol. I've turned it into a sport. Haven't had as much success as I hoped so far.

I wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Hi Everybody

I still didn't have power so I'm at my Grandma's house tonight. I emptied out my fridge before I left - total carnage as you can imagine. More of the power was on in the area so I'll have to check back tomorrow. Food's ready so I'll be back later.

 

[Anneri]

Just popping in to wish all you ladies a very merry Christmas! And if you don't celebrate Christmas, have a good time and a few nice days nevertheless! Fuzzy, stay safe!!!

 

[Anitacska]

Merry Christmas to you all!

My children are all very excited now, can't wait for tomorrow morning to open all their presents! My Christmas present came early, both my Enchanted and Darling Diva orders arrived in the post! I got a free polish from DD (Shake Your Pom Poms - which I always wanted to get but never got around to it) and some wintery/Christmassy glitters.











I have to say, I'm rather underwhelmed by the Enchanted polishes. The only one that's at all interesting is the holiday polish. The rest are nice, Presto Magic is a gorgeous blue, but not that special. I'm glad I got them, but I'm also glad I didn't try to buy them on eBay or something stupid, because they are certainly not worth more than retail.

Once again, hope you all have a lovely time at Christmas. I'll be around, will post my Christmas Day mani tomorrow.

 

[MRV]

I don't seem to be able to multiquote on my mobile now but lovely manis lyseD and Anitacska! I was just staring at my holo tips in the dim lightning of Xmas sauna! Also awesome hauls Anitacska! We are about to open our few presents. I don't expect to get any np though! Merry Christmas and/or Holidays to you all!

 

[Anitacska]

Merry Christmas and/or Holidays to you all!

Thanks.

We used to do presents on Christmas Eve in Hungary (and in fact they still do), but here Santa comes at night. Much easier logistically as well, lol. We've had our Hungarian Christmas Eve dinner though (fish) and will have turkey tomorrow as per British Christmas.

Hi all! merry xmas!


Tuesday morning I called my building manager to check on the power(no dice.) and she had managed to get a generator for the building to run the boiler and pump so we could have heat and hot water because draining the building is so difficult and it was getting very, very cold. She said it was heating up again. So I decided to go back after getting another flashlight and some batteries and washing my hair in my grandma's kitchen sink LOL. And when I we were coming up on the set of traffic lights that had been out just near my building they were back on and next door had power too and....... so did we- in the units anyway! the halls are still dark, but I can live with that!

Never been so happy to see you, kitchen light!

 

[Anneri]

Hello Ladies! Great christmas manis all around! Anitacska, those Enchanteds look nice. Glad you got them for retail price! Naynadine, it was at the Douglas fb page of all things! MRV, those studs are really easy to handle. I put them on the still tacky nailpolish, waited a bit and carefully put a layer of topcoat on them. You didn't even recognise that there was some topcoat over the design! Fuzzy, I saw Toronto on the news and thought of you. Glad that you've power again! My christmas mani ist Doctor Who themed. Looking forward to the Christmas episode tonight!!! That's CrowsToes Hellhound and the golden polish is Chanel's Delight. I put some studs and striping tape on top of that to mimick the look of a Dalek, the baddies in the series. It came out a bit wonky, but I like it for a first attempt!

We celebrate Christmas at Christmas Eve, so I already got my gifts and ate the Christmas dinner. I was absolutely spoiled - my hubby gave me a trenchcoat and my parents got me a silk scarf when they recently went to Paris. I hope everybody has a great day! For me it's a day at my in-laws which means lots and lots of food!

 

[Pinkdollface]

Merry Christmas everyone! This is my Christmas mani. It's OPI All Sparkly and Gold. Sorry for the crappy quality. The iPad air needs better light to take nice pics.
