Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[BuickMackane]

I just noticed Illamasqua's added a whole bunch of new items to the sale line. One of them is Poke n/p. I hope they're not DCing it. It's one of my favourites.

I placed Zoya order(s).. I never tried them before.. they better be good because my marriage is down the line between all Mac collections and nail polishes now

LOL..I never heard of A-England polishes.. where are you buying them from (US)? I would love to know!

Thank you! Silly question since I never ordered from the sites based outside US.. do we get charged currency exchange fee from CC company? I always wanted to order from Illamasqua online but never knew if I will get charged for the currency exchange.. Sorry if I don't make sense lol

I don't think so. I always use Paypal and I haven't noticed any weird commissions or additional fees (I have a Euro bank account). I have no reason to think there would be any for those of you who had USD accounts, but I think it would be best if fellow NP freaks confirmed this.

Ah, you mean the rubber finish ones? They look lovely but there's no point in me buying them because I always use a top coat. My mani feels incomplete if I don't. Bloody OCD!!!

Depends on how you have your paypal acount set up. I have it set so it bills my CC in the currency on the invoice (in this case GBP). My CC doesn't charge international currency conversion fees, but most do. You'd need to check with your bank. You can also set your paypal account to bill your CC in USD, in which case Paypal will charge your card in USD using their own rotten conversion rate - less than the official rate - so you end up paying a "hidden" conversion fee eg if the official currency conversion from GBP to USD is 1 GBP = 0.66 USD, the rate Paypal uses may be 1 GBP = 0.63 USD, so your 20 GBP order will cost you $31.75 USD instead of $30.30 USD using the official rate (which your CC would presumable use, but then they may charge a currency conversion fee on top of that).

Hope that helps

So pretty! Even your nails have halos!!!

Thanks for the compliments!

@ kimibos - Lillibet is LE, so you may want to get it now if you can. Beauty.com still has it. It's disappeared from Ulta, Nordstrom and even Butter London's own website.

@ honey on boost - I was able to still find Koliary at Saks.

@ Medgal Lol!

This is my first time ordering from A England as well, so I don't have an answer. I figure I'll know soon enough when my items ship. I'm thinking it may depend on your credit card company, though.

Alright, alright. I get it! I'm not going to be the odd-NPA-out. I'll be placing an order before the end of the day.

Damn enablers. I love you all! YOLO

Peer pressure! Oh, I like the new rainbow YOLO !

And that's a lovely haul! Those Diors.

I don't have any creme Lippmann's yet. I only have chunky glitters. Lol, can anyone tell that I like saying "chunky glitters?" Something about it just makes me laugh. Thanks for the term, Buick.

Dorian Gray (Pewter Grey)
Guinevere (Antique Pale Mauve)
Iseult (Pink w/Opalescent Pearly Reflection)
Lancelot (Black Red Garnet)
Morgan Le Fay (Luminescent White Silver)
Perceval (Red)
The Knight (Base coat)
The Shield (Topcoat)

YOLO

Thanks, CC! I'll probably try to place a small order using paypal.. please keep me posted with your experience as far as any unusual charges! I might even call my credit card company and confirm.

Here are a few of my recent mani's from the past two weeks..

Dior - Poison from Les Violets collection



I forget the name to this one but I'll just call it Paris. It was given to me as a gift from a very sweet friend!

And Jack the Pulpit from Rescue Beauty's GOMM collection

 

[Medgal07]

Nope, there should have been at least 20. And where's the green Estee Lauder? Tsk tsk.

C-

Oh you're shameless. Well it's more than 20 now because I ordered 10 from A England.

 

[Medgal07]

I love them all!!! Very pretty, and the colors suit the shape & length of your nails. VERY NICE!
