My new mani is Glitter Gal Furnace Glow:








Anyone else thinking Tequila Sunrise? It was much more opaque and brighter than I expected, and the duochrome works beautifully.

This is really nice.

My current mani is Zoya Charla (for another 5 minutes when I'll take it off and replace with EdM Fashion Victim). I always knew it was very pretty, but I never realised that it was also duochrome, Green with gold shimmer with blue duochrome!

Then last night I wanted to try out my new OPI Mariah Carey 18k White Gold topcoat (that I bought when searching for Don't Speak on eBay - which I still haven't bought...).



The colours are really off (phone camera), but I really like the topcoat.

No other purchases to show you, but I am expecting two packages tomorrow or Thursday.

Oh and guess what, I have finished a whole bottle of nail polish! And it's not topcoat or base coat either! Okay, it's only a black polish that I used under other colours, so probably doesn't really count, but still. It was Nails Inc Black Taxi.

Whaaaaat???

How is that possible? Must rectify it asap!

Lol, Untried Mountain is a place of many wonders...
Love that Zoya, just the kind of colour I go nuts for - beautiful.
Black Taxi doesn't count, it's just a base coat for you! Keep trying!

Oh, that looks really pretty, too! And I like that OPI TC. Should wear it again.
I'm wearing AE Crown of Thistles

You can only see a glimpse of it here.

Lovely manis! My Crown of Thistles has arrived too!

Yes, no wonder, hahaha!

I've had a busy week with my eldest at home with shingles, so saved up all my new polishes to take pictures of them today, she's gone on an overnight trip with school (she's fine now).

My new CbL's:



New A-England and EdM. Ignore the one on the right, RC sent me the wrong polish, so it's going back next week.



New LE Glam Polish multichrome holos. They are probably dupes of other polishes I already have, but they are so pretty!







New Picture Polishes:



Zoya Prim, Imogen, Essence Gold Fingers, Hidden Garden, OPI Mariah Cary 18k topcoat



Orly holiday minis:





Phew!

My current mani is EdM Fashion Victim. I was going to take it off last night, but I was too tired.

Crown of Thistles is stunning on you. I haven't been able to decide whether to go for it or not, but your pic makes it look gorgeous. Nice stamping too!

Wow, some seriously stunning haulage there! And you got Shimmer Me Timbers, I've had it in baskets twice but with my no-buy going on I had to resist. Of course, now it's gone I'm really regretting that! I've been looking at those Glam Polishes too - I'm sure I'll be getting at least a couple soon.

The CbLs are actually much nicer irl than I thought. They all have something extra, either shimmer or flakies or duochrome. Very glad I got them. And the Glam Polishes are just gorgeous....

My current mani Dance Legend Bianco:



No sunshine today, so had to take pictures indoors hence the weird colour. Not sure if you can see it, but it also has scattered holo glitter. Pretty.

 

[Anneri]

Thanks! And thanks, I'm feeling better. I've been cleaning all day - vacuuming - dangerous but also good excercise! Hope you're feeling better, too. I'm not really into silver either but holos are diifferent. Ooh. It could be doable if you use leds (you don't want to heat up the polish) but getting those bottles could be quite expensive if you don't already have a bunch. How are your ribs? Thanks! Pretties!! I like October, and August, too. :cheer: Thanks, it's a love lovely purple. And BO, too! oke: Love the polish and Ozzy's sooo cute! Nice manis and haul! I should check those out... I got them all but skipped the ILNPs for now. I think I want to see more swatches, too, so I can pick out the best. I like it, too. But I don't think she has put out much greens this year so I'm glad to see them.

Thanks for asking, MRV! They're now better, but that took quite some time during that I couldn't move properly and lived on painkillers. It's funny that such a small thing like hurt ribs have the power to disturb everything you do. Last week they begun to get a lot better, but then I was quite busy with a project and after those Ten days of not moving around and doing nothing the flat was such a mess! I didn't do my mu for about two weeks and also neglected my nails quite a bit because I was neither in the mood or was busy.

Must be. And it surely is a bigger figure than when she just has a release. I had a mani night last night, too. I put on DD Space Beetle (reminds me of Lilypad Pearls) and some green stamping which does not show in the pic because it's a bit transparent.

Oh that's such a lovely mani!

Nice!  Space Beetle was one of my early Indies too - but I still haven't worn it!  I really like it with the green over it.

My new mani is Glitter Gal Furnace Glow: Anyone else thinking Tequila Sunrise?  It was much more opaque and brighter than I expected, and the duochrome works beautifully.

Totally Tequila Sunrise or Campari Orange! Looks great on you and I love Ozzy!

Love the blue and the duochrome effect and the topcoat!

Lol, Untried Mountain is a place of many wonders... Love that Zoya, just the kind of colour I go nuts for - beautiful. Black Taxi doesn't count, it's just a base coat for you!  Keep trying!

Hahaha! This comment wins the thread!! Lol!

Ah, I'm really beating myself that I didn't Order this one with Virgin Queen! Looks gorgeous!

That's a nice ILNP!

Oh that's such a lovely mani!

That's a nice ILNP!

Thanks, Anneri! Nice to hear you're doing better.

Maybe you can get CoT later - BTW did you get any of those Elevation Hawaiian polishes? I ordered all but the darkest one and managed to grab one of the small batch prototypes (first time for me). Unfortunately the samples were not available any more. The collection is still in stock though.


ATM I'm wearing FF Dark Angel (as Anitacska said, very pretty, kind of blurple with multicolored holo and pinkish shimmer) and some HK stickers (I have never had anything to do with HK except for some Mac HK items and now these that I got with an Etsy order).

 

[Anitacska]

Thanks, Anitacska!


Great hauls! I got a few new PPs (none of yours) but I might need Paris at some point, too.

Cute mani. I don't have this one.


Thanks! It's lighter, more pink purple irl. I love pink purples so it's def. on top of my purples!

Oh that is really pretty. So sad now I can't get it.

Bianco is silver holo with small holographic "shards" like the new PP polishes. I've found a better photo to show the true colour:

 

[Anitacska]

Here's my current mani, CbL Voodoo. It's a nice dusty purple with colour changing shimmer. Reminds me of a subdued version of Fantasy Fire, but this is opaque in 2-3 coats.

 

[Anneri]

Thank you. Where are those manis??? :bangin: Oh that is really pretty. So sad now I can't get it.  Bianco is silver holo with small holographic "shards" like the new PP polishes. I've found a better photo to show the true colour:

Here they are! )

Really liked this mani, that's the reason why I'm posting that many pics of it! Digital Nails Pandorica as a base (awesome black holo, plus the name!!!) and accent nail is Essence Caught in the Middle which is similar to Belugaria, but instead of glitters it has flakies. I did the waterspotted accents on the other nails with ILNP Bottle Service. I actually love those accents, especially on the pinky where it looks like lace! Here's El Corazon Kryptonite. Very pretty green scattered holo.

Virgin Queen

CBL The way you make me feel - blue-grey with pink glitters

MRV, total nail envy at your Hello Kitty nails! Major love! I love HK and I love FF, so that's totally right up my alley! I didn't get the Elevations yet. I hope they'll stick around for a while because now I'll have to do my Christmas shopping first!

 

[Anitacska]

Very pretty manis as usual, Anneri! How do you do the waterspotting? Looks really great!

Thank you Anita! The waterspotting is a bit like watermarbelling, but easier. You drop one or more drops of polish into water and then spray it with some alcohol - the polish gets some 'holes' then and you can dip your nail into it and clean it up. And here're some nail art attempts I did lately: A negative space mani with a new fave polish that looks like lapis.

And a 'blobbicure' with two of the Fall LE Essies:

Nice! I like the glow in it.

Pretty manis! The first one is really interesting. I was thinking of trying out water marbling. I saw Pshiiit had some product that protects your skin around nails and you can just peel it off after finishing your mani.

Thanks! Glad you like it. Yes, I think they'll stick around for some time!

Love the last one especially! How did you do it?


New mani's CbL Midnight in Montana and KBS Hexy Bikini (one could think I don't have other glitters...but now it's "used"!

). I was not really able to get the multichrome to show up, much less capture it, but it is quite intense green teal-blue-purple at least. - Oh, and first time trying out vinyls. They worked great.
