Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Okay, so the details. My mani is Bells Kandi I've Got the Bluey Blues... It's a very see through jelly (4 coats!) thermal. Unfortunately in the warm state my stained nails show through too much. Even when it's cold you can see the staining a bit. On the upside it dried quickly despite needing so many coats. But it has also chipped already. A week or so ago I tried another thermal from BK called Wisteria, it was a very pale lilac and even when cold it wasn't much darker, nothing like the pictures I've seen. Not impressed with the brand at all.

My haul, as you can see PP Pandora and Fool's Gold, plus F.U.N Lacquer Pay Day (H). It's a silver foil glitter with lots of holo sparkles. Plus I got 5 sheets of holographic water decals. Looking forward to trying them out soon.

I guess if I have to buy on eBay it'll cost twice as much for the monthlies - but at least I can skip any that don't appeal I suppose.
That's a really cute mani too, I've never worn my Fantasy Fire but that's what I hope it will look like! I have to say, the new Cirque Burlesque collection does have pretty colours, I've been drooling over them. Maybe at a later date...

I'm not buying these on eBay, refuse to.

Luckily the Burlesque collection isn't calling my name at all. Just as well, since I've still got that massive wishlist from Darling Diva...

Anyone bought any of the CbL Halloween polishes? I didn't, wasn't interested in the colours. I'm not a massive fan of oranges and browns.

Sorry, that polish looks a bit too sheer for my liking, add in easy chipping and I'm not impressed at all. Sounds like a brand to avoid. I must admit, I bought some thermals from eBay years ago and none of them changed at all, which put me right off the idea. They were Special FX ones (they called them Fickles), and I'd seen them demo'd on QVC and was blown away by the idea, but they had gone bust by the time I wanted them, hence eBay. I was so disappointed that they did nothing on me - it's only recently that I've found out that the thermal effect stops working on old polishes, which no doubt explains why mine didn't perform! I still have some of them and use them as plain colours.
Nice haul - would you believe, I was looking at exactly those decals a few days ago, we're like nail twins! I've never used nail decals before though, so I bottled out as I could see them being a bit too fiddly for me. I did buy some vinyl stickers instead though to try. Do let me know how you get on with them. The other reason I backed away was that the pics I saw were so tiny, you couldn't tell what the decals really looked like, so I look forward to seeing them in a bit more detail on you. Have fun with them!

Welcome back Jenny! Lovely manis!


Thanks.

Pretty mani. Really like the accents. I love Fantasy Fire, such a cool polish.


It is indeed. She is not very keen on providing good customer service, doesn't seem to care, her polishes sell out fast anyway.

I skipped the CbLs, quite apart from being broke I didn't really like any of them. There are a couple from the new collection that went on my "must have" list though...

Hi all! Eek I've been gone a long time. I've been trying to buy less and go out and do more things- how well that's working I don't know LOL Been pretty busy with appointments and working on my condo as I finally got to ordering a sofa! Yay ompom: Here it is:

it arrived on Tuesday. I'll have to get some cases for the pillows because they really don't go at all in person. All the manis in here look great! For a bit off and on I didn't do a lot of manis because the humidity was just too much but here are a few: China Glaze Dandy Lyin' Around

Zoya Zuza

OPI Muir Muir on the Wall (on the elusive right hand because I wrecked the polish on the left)

CbL Runt

This is just the wrongest wrongity wrong colour on me- it reminds me of having blood under a nail :yuck: I was good and only bought 2 polishes: MAC Bad Fairy and Joe Fresh Kaleidoscope which is kind of a green-gold-pink flakie-ish thing

That was a lot of pics I should come by more often :haha:

That sofa is GORGEOUS!! You have exceptional taste.

Thank you

I got it at Leon's. I had a coupon lol

 

[Anitacska]

My EdMs arrived from Llarowe yesterday, completely unexpectedly. I don't remember when I placed the order, but it wasn't at all long ago. Not complaining, just (pleasantly) surprised. They're all so pretty.





And here's my mani, CbL Woodstock with Topshop Hat Trick on accents. I actually put the Topshop polish between two layers of Woodstock, so it doesn't show up that well, but you still get the sparkles and the holo on top. Like it.

There's a couple I quite like, but still not sure.

Those EdMs look so cute all lined up! I want more...!
That's a hard colour to pull off, but it looks great on you, congratulations!

Two lovely polishes! The Uptown was in and out of my basket so many times, but the only CC polish I've worn chipped in just one day, so I've dropped them from my shopping list. This makes me think again! Fabulous mani.

These look really classy, lovely.

Those look really cute, I like them both. Maybe I need a quick visit to Boots...

Just moved into our new house month n half ago
And my husband and I are slowley putting things together for my vanity soace in my bedroom I haven't got no more space unfortuntly and we have just put the polish racks up at weekend and where I had them before at old house on floor OMG they look so much better on wall) couldn't put them on wall before as didn't want big holes left
Anyhow I have put some of my favs up there I haven't finished yet as you can see
But I have just been plodding along yesterday putting some in my alexes tall one and my wide one which you can see in this picture
My hubby came up with this idea
As I can still fit a chair there
It's just so we have space the other side of our room now as it's starting to get abit cramped which we don't like

And hubby has just put up our massive tv in bedroom too which is taking up room on my malm and cannot put nothing on there now

my hubby didn't put the swivel bracket up high enough ( but he did say when we manage to get a smaller tv 32 inch I should be ok to put my things bk on the malm ) so great
I have items in about 15 boxes still for my bedroom
He cannot believe I have accumulated all my stuff within two / three years
Also my make up which I have loads more to do to put away
And he said you have over a grands worth of polish from just the rack alone lol that's without counting what I have in my drawers oh well lol !!!!!!!!!

Would love to see your storage ladies of your polishes

)))))
I'm still trying to organise mine. I'm going to leave them in drawers till hubby does me my custom shelves if he ever does where they can fit on my other wall!!!!

Congrats on getting your nail polish set up! My stuff is all over the place, I will have to start doing a vanity at some point. I really need somewhere to do my hair better, my bathroom doesn't have an electric outlet and standing in front of my dresser isn't so good with lighting. And having half my eyeshadow under the bed in a small Rubbermaid container isn't really helpful either lol
