I really like pics 4, 5 & 10

Thanks! I forgot to write the names - 5 is Models own Beach party and 10 is Dior Lady.

I have to admit I'm relieved that I already have the ones I like of those. I'm wearing Scintealliant right now and it's beautiful.

Can anyone tell me if there're more than subtle diffenrences between Lala land, Water for Elephants, Scintealliant and CBL Young Turks and NCLA Teal the End?

Lala has a subtle pinkish flash and is a tiny smidgen more tealish than WFU but the difference is not that big and rather subtle, they are quite similar. WFU and Lala are cream holos while Scintealliant has stronger holo, addtitonal blue/teal sparkly shimmer and a kind of a metallic-like finish (without the bubbling and stripes of metallics).

Young Turks and Scintealliant are different from each other and from WFU and Lala.

I don't know the NCLA and I won't look because I don't need to fall for yet another brand.

Quick, messy swatches on sticks. My cam and lighing are quite subpar, for example Scint isn't as dark as in the sunlight pic and it doesn't show the sparkles but it might serve as a small indicator to differences between them. From left to right: Scintealliant - Lala - WFU - Young Turks:

Thank you rekhyt - that was really helpful!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Oops, dupe post!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Love your purple franken!

 

[PearlyQueen]

I did a bit of pre-holiday shopping today (mostly for clothes) and ended up getting a few polishes from Urban Outfitters. The middle one, Prince is waaaay more purple than the picture shows.



Mystic River, Prince, Ariel

Otherwise, no new polishes or mani.

MeiMei has a 40% off sale for 24 hours only on selected brands with the code: RENO. Brands are Femme Fatale, Glam Polish, Sayuri, Arcane Lacquer, Emily de Molly.

Those are pretty!
Have a great holiday.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Those are very pretty!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Lucky you! Looks like you've had a great time.


Thanks! It is a very lovely green, you might have it. If not, do put it on you list!

Sorrry about MG!


Nice combo and love the ring!


Pretty haul, and congrats on your first EdMs! I also got Ariel's Realm, but that purple's looking good, too...


Thanks. Love the dress, here's a pic:




Just ordered 5!

That's a pretty consolation!


I used only one coat over the other one, it was ok. No major problems with the swatch stick either. The finish is kind of matte. I actually used a matte TC over it and it did not seem different from another nail without TC.


That's a nice polish, but difficult to wear as you say. The EPs are just glowing!


I don't think you can order from EdM directly .


Pretty haul, I love Love indeed and The Blessing the most.


Lovely holo!



Thank you so much for these pics! I have not ordered yet. I have the same polishes on my list as in your last pics (minus the multichrome). Very helpful - and pretty!


Venice? Interesting. Pretty frankens, Anneri!


That's all we need!


So springly indeed! Here the weather is more or less freezing . The sun - now that we finally have some - does not help.


Nice dusty pink, much easier to wear than lighter ones.


Very pretty haul!

I had a look at MeiMei yesterday but there was only a few not that interesting I did not already have so I passed.


Yes! Half the house is going to be renewed.


Looking pretty!


Bon voyage! Are you going to stay for long?


She has this insane value based shipping. I think Anitacska asked for a refund and got some back.

I was right, it is a pretty dress! Enjoy wearing it, hopefully with some sun and warmth!

Latest manis: Elevation Mill City Ruins. This is a shifter. I was away of the office all day (including some spa time) so I did not get good pics. The deco's from EdM.



And CbL Gingerbread Man (this felt so easy after some cremes!) with EdM I'm B-lind

These are both really pretty - love the decals particularly, and Gingerbread Man looks really yummy!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Pretty haulage, especially the Cirques/IB! And a bargain is always good!
Meimei's postage is a complete pain, it's seldom worth the effort. When I asked about it I did it before I ordered, so no chance of a refund!

Hello, ladies

I've been trying to go through the last 50 pages in the past few days but I'm making an order now and I have a question - can someone recommend a good opaque milky white nail polish? Preferably from OPI, China Glaze or Essie. Thank you in advance, I might post some pictures later, I loooove nail polishes

Sorry, can't help you there! I thought about trying to get one recently, but as a smoker whites don't work for me!

 

[PearlyQueen]

The pictures are from the last 2-3 years. I used to love long nails, then in the last maybe 4 years I've been keeping them short. Recently I started liking them longer again, I just need to change the shape a bit.

Some gorgeous looks there! My fave is the pink holo!

I was going to chip in but I only have Scintealliant and Young Turks and this post is much more helpful than I could have been!

Thank you! This is my absolute favourite nail polish! Whenever I wonder what to wear, I wear it and it never disappoints me. It's Orly Miss Conduct, unfortunately, I don't really have access to this brand - I found this one in a set in TK Maxx.

My new polishes this week are both lovely reds:


Bear Pawlish Sandy Claws and Glam Polish Coven
