Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

My current mani (although I'm just about to change it) Hits Mari Moon Sweet Dreams which is a dupe for EP Octopus's Garden. There was no sun that day, so I took a few pictures indoors under a bright light.













I also did my pedi (which I only do every 4 weeks or so) with Color Club Cold Metal. It's such a great foil finish and beautiful colour!



And finally, my small Friday haul. Finally we have Essence in the UK and I've managed to pick up the polish I left behind when we were in Hungary and really regretted it. I thought I'd had something similar, but I don't. Luckily Essence is now available in Wilkinson stores, so yay! I also got some nail stickers and some Topshop glitter polish.



Gorgeous mani and pedi! I bought those Mari Moons soooo long ago and they're still untouched!

Oh that's very shifty! Really nice! I also love your sandals!
I was only buying a couple of polishes, shipping to UK was $16! Since my PO box has already got some goodies in it, I figured I'd save some postal cash!
Sounds like you got two of the three IBs I'm after, well done!

Here are some manis I wore during the last week:

The galaxy nails I wanted to do with some holo polishes for a long time. Here's what I used:

Kiko and Essence polishes. I liked the contrast between the textured polish and the glossy one.

Sally Hansen and Bourjois water decals with dotticure. Quite retro which I liked. And the first one of my new IBs:

Here it is in the shade:

It also has some holo glitter in it but I wasn't able to capture it. It's a lovely and quite complex unusual polish!

Thank you. I love the Hits polishes, they are great dupes for EP and much cheaper.

Thank you! The sandals are Skechers children's wedge sandals, lol, but they are really nice and comfortable! They look like this:





Sadly, it's not.

Thank you Anita!
I'm searching for comfy black sandals, so I'm going to look into Sketchers!
Do you get your Hits from Llarowe?

I guess everybody has seen the new Llarowe polishes, but I'll post the reviews nevertheless. :D

Current mani, HITS Mari Moon Suspiro. Sadly I'd already had a small chip on my pinkie, but it's a nice polish.

Some from Llarowe and some from Sally Magpies.

Yes, I've seen the new Llarowe polishes and I'm a bit underwhelmed. The duochromes are nice, but no different to another brands' duochromes. I'll probably pick up a couple of the Emily ones, I like the grey/purple one and the purple flakie one, maybe the cranberry holo too.

Recent manis: Elevation The Med 2 & Catch a Wave (liked the glitter a lot, it was very reflective)

OPI Coca-Cola Red (nice, brighter than I expected) and Cadillacquer We'll Meet Again (love this one!) with related bottles!

I also made a third pair of earrings with PP Aurora. There's some shift but not nearly as much as on nails.

Hmmm, couple of interesting ones, but I think I might pass on these. None of them are really singing to me. Please note, all such declarations are subject to amendment at a later date!

Valid for the next 14 hours (till 4pm Arizona time) - Nailnation3000 40% off everything with code BIG40 (on Storenvy)
Thanks. I've never used this brand, is it any good? I have to say though, having looked at the website, it is pretty expensive, so I probably won't bother.

On another note, has anyone received their shipping notification from EP yet?

I haven't tried them either - but I will be soon.... I've had some in my basket for ages waiting for the right time, and 40% off seems like the time is right! I'm sending them to my PO box in the US as the UK shipping is expensive, so I won't be seeing them for a while.
No EP notification, I think she's now late as she said three weeks and I think that expired on Sunday.

Some people on the FB group have started receiving theirs, so hopefully won't be long now.

How much is UK shipping for a few (3-4 bottles), do you know?

Is it pink/purple week then?
girlhaha.gif
I only have one of these I think. Nice colours!

It's blue mani week for me, I'm currently wearing Sinful Colors Cinderella (light blue with pink sparkles, very apt name) with Nails Inc Floral in Queensgate Gardens. It was a pain, at first the flower glitters wouldn't come out at all, then when I just wanted some of the blue glitter, I couldn't stop them from coming out! They also don't lie flat, but with a coat of NPB Glitter Food they're okay.

Looks like it's $30.49 for either 3 or 4 bottles, was showing at about $3 more for around 10 bottles.
