Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Remember, it's only nail polish!


Thank you! Love your manis. I saw the Kiko one on Instagram, it's so cool!

I have a mani to show you as well, Girly Bits Hiss & Lear. It's a nice multichrome, although it's only the greens that show up probably, but there's blue and purple at extreme angles too.





I then did some stamping on it, inspired by MRV's stamping. I used the EdM peacock plate.





I tried ordering from Llarowe but got cart jacked even though there's supposed to be cart hold. They said if I e-mail them what I wanted to get, they'll send a Paypal invoice. Let's hope so. I also placed an order with Rainbow Connection yesterday and got 15% off.
Ha ha, feel I should point out it's not ONLY nail polish, it's EP! You know how that plays mind games with the sanest of women, let alone what it does to the crazier element!
Your Hiss & Lear looks nice, another I have but haven't yet worn! Nice stamping - I decided I might give it a go eventually, so I splashed out a whole pound on one of the Poundland sets, to see what I think and how I get on. Not a patch on your lovely peacocks mind you, but as much as I wanted to invest in something so alien to me!
I got cartjacked at Llarowe too, but when I emailed about it they just said it was in Beta testing with no guarantees! I got the two I lost at the second restock fortunately.

I'm so excited, I just managed to snare some of the Illamasqua UV polishes from myer (which is a bit department store here), for $5 each! They have been such a pain to get since the Royal Mail shipping got so strict.
Nice, that's a brand that always looks lovely on others, I did for a while have a real hankering after Viridian, but I never got any in the end. And I've been sidetracked by Indies for the last year!

Hi there, I'm so far behind that I won't even try to quote each individual post! Anitacska and Fuzzy, get well soon! I hope you'll get your front door back again soon Fuzzy! Anitacska, AWESOME haul! *insert drooling smiley here* I like your short nails a lot, kimibos! Your stamping looks good to me, MRV! Have a nice Easter, everyone! I was away on a short trip and will be away again after Easter (Dublin, yay!). Here're some of my manis:

Two of the new 'denim' finish polishes by Kiko - they kind of have a satin/rubber finish and I got them for 1,90€ in Italy. And that's Aurora. I like it much more than Borealis. In both this and the Kiko mani I used nail vinyls for the first time. A bit fiddly, but a lot of fun!

Thanks, Anneri! Lovely manis and I'm glad you liked Aurora. Have a nice trip to Dublin!

I try my best not to! :) You did so much better with the stamping! BTW How do you clean up the plate in between? I'm lazy and use a different image each time.

Nice catch! I have them too but have not used any yet.

That's a great idea! Love the mani!

Happy Easter lovely ladies! :flower:  Hope you have a nice, chocolate filled day! :heart:

Really? They invoiced me for the polishes I wanted. Maybe that's because I've spent a small fortune at Llarowe's over the last couple of years, lol.

Very nice mani! I'm still wearing my peacock mani, but will change it tonight.

I just wipe the plate with a cotton wool pad soaked in nail polish remover. I do find that after a couple of stamping the image isn't as clear with the built up polish on it. I also wipe the stamper clean in between stamping.

I have got to try salmiakki icecream next time I'm in Finland. Forgot to look out for it in Sweden, mind you it was the beginning of March, so not really icecream season (although I was lucky with the weather, it was very mild).

Ok, here is my last mani and my current mani:



Revlon wintermint. Was surprisingly impressed. I mean its no Essi, but if it goes on sale I will be buying a plain creme to try out. For the price it is very good.

Current mani: Colour club in Theory, Wups I mean Lancome 134B a nice coraly for spring:




Thinkig of putting a holo top coat on the ring finger nail, we shall see.

Maybe it's a longevity thing - I've only spent a small fortune in the last year!
I'd never heard of salmiakki till I read this thread. I looked it up - I think I'll pass thanks!

I really like the Revlon, a lovely delicate shade! And by the way, you can never go wrong with adding holo!

I have a No 7 polish (Boots's own brand) that is identical to the Revlon, so I skipped the Revlon, I don't like scented polishes anyway.

My current mani, Butter London Bluecoat with BL Leccy on the accent fingers/thumbs which is a flaky. Bluecoat looked slightly duochrome in the bottle, but it's not on the nails. Chipped already as well, so not too impressed.

Very nice and summery!

I love this mani, it's not a brand I've tried but I've been tempted! So sorry to hear it chipped so quickly - I suspect that's decided me against the ones I've been looking at, I can't be bothered with a brand that doesn't last at least 3 days before chipping!

To be fair, hardly any polish lasts on me for 3 days without chipping, I have thin, bendy nails, so don't let that put you off.

Very nice! I don't think I received any polish this week, although I have placed a few orders. I'm expecting at least two deliveries tomorrow.

I feel better and then I go to Easter dinner yesterday at my Aunt's and eat and drink too much wine and now I feel not so hot lol My Easter mani: Different Dimension ... Ugh ... The name... 'Sparkles like Edward' :fluffy: Regardless of the name it is a pretty polish, but it has kind of a strange texture.
