Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

I love this mani. Makes me want to do an immediate polish change to Estee Lauder's Teal Topaz, the closest NP that I have to that color. Stunning!!!

Just sharing my current mani. Koh Empowered.. I picked this up in Amsterdam during our trip last year. I love love love this color.

This is the tiniest nudge that I needed and I took advantage to the nth degree. Last night, I was gifted the following order.

• U - Guinevere, Ascalon, Iseult
• T - And The Moonbeams..., Camelot
• K - Princess Sabra, Tess D'Urbervilles
• Lady of the Lake

Then I got an email from Neiman's in the wee hours of the morning saying that the Chanel Imperial I ordered was cancelled.

They didn't have it in stock to fulfill. I wasn't worried about it getting cancelled since my last order with Diabolic went through, but I should've waited to make sure that it shipped before getting excited. After my initial disappointment, I did the only thing I could think of: order more nail polish! I now had about $30 of reclaimed money since Imperial was cancelled. The only logical thing to do was to place another A-England order.

• O - Saint George, Excalibur, Tristam
• Avalon
• Holy Grail LE - I wanted it before it was gone.

I'm hoping to exchange Saint George for Galahad since I previously ordered Saint George in my very first order. MAC has programmed me to snatch up LE items before they disappear, so I also wanted to get the old Holy Grail before it's gone. I'll get the new version later. No regrets! I checked the website just now and the THANKYOU sale is over. I placed three orders since the promotion began and hauled a total of 19 polishes. I think I managed to get all of their purple and green colors. I'm done [with A-England] until the next sale.

YOLO !

My Zoyas were also delivered yesterday. They arrived a day early. I wasn't wowed by them, but I'm still happy I got them. They're all very pretty colors. I swatched them after removing my mani with my newly delivered bottle of Remove+. There wasn't enough remover left in my old bottle to finish the job. (Walking around with partially removed nail polish is not a good look.) I really like Wednesday, and Zuza reminds me of a turquoise Victoriana.

I'm glad that Kara is different from my other corals. Neeka is a nice dusty eggplant purple, but it's not metallic like it's listed on the website. It's really a shimmer polish. Purity makes me feel like I'm wearing White Out on my nails. It's stark white. I got it mainly to pair with glitter polishes, so it should work well for that purpose. I'm putting together my next Zoya wishlist. I still need Neely! But I'm not going to pull the trigger on it until February or March.

Oh no. I need you to be wowed! Should I be lowering my expectations before my Zoya order arrives? I also got Purity because I like how my toes look with stark white polish and black strapy Manolo sandals. I was eagerly awaiting Zoya's Blu because it swatched so beautifully! I ordered Neely, so I'll let you know what's it's like before dust off the gun to pull the trigger. I like your 'makeup' hauls...what happens when you have a cancellation. You manage to find the best replacement items! Great haulage!!!

Those are great Zoya colors, kimibos. Medgal, you're right. I am noticing more yellows. I wasn't interested in OPI's sand polishes, but I'm intrigued by the Zoya version and I'm not sure why. I think I'll pick up one to try it. Surprisingly, the nude one appeals to me the most.

Yep, but the colours are prettier!

Can anybody tell me how long the DL LEs are hanging around in the US normally? Can I still expect to get them in April?

I'm not sure. I having been buying Lippmanns for very long. However, Ray of Light and Sweet Dreams are summer LEs and they still seem to be available.

Poshe, The Shield (A-England) and Wicked Fast (Cult Nails) are my favourites.

I've been using my first bottle of Sally Hansen Insta Dri for the past 1.5 weeks and I'm really liking it so far. Two thumbs up for Sally!

Tee hee...somehow you have some colors in your cart that you hand't seen before??? Sounds like someone fell off the wagon. I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I need more happy yellow in my life (because the numerous yellow accents throughout our home are not enough) and I want it on my nails. In yet another slip of judgement I ordered Butter London's Jasper. It's not just the color. I happen to kinda like that name...it also reminds me of the unsavory character (cheater) in the movie, 'The Holiday.'

I've been using SH Insta Dri for a few years now - it dries my polish really quickly.

When I was in the US a few months ago I picked up a few top coats we can't get here - Seche, Poshe, Essie Good To Go - but I haven't tried them yet.

I like all of these but I have so many dupes that I will have to pass. I love nudes. In fact, I'm wearing DL's No More Drama, which is a nude for me w/just a hint of shimmer. LOVE!
