Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anneri]

Hope you'll get your polishes soon, Anitacska!

From FF I got Pince de Crabe, La Sirene, Ray of Sunshine, After Dark, Red Sundown and Glamour Shots. I also got some Cbls from MeiMei, mostly from her last collection (the Depression one). I haven't bought Cbls in ages!

I BET we'll have an EP restock this weekend - I'm away, and will also spend a shitload of money with (theoretically) no funds to spend on more polish! MAC Holiday, ColourPop Hello Kitty, and a visit to Sephora in Singapore... Sigh! Why does everything has to come out at once?!

Thanks, I already have! They came yesterday finally. It's ridiculous though that they only took 3 days to arrive in the UK (Heathrow) from the West Coast and 5 days to be delivered. I'm about 20 minutes' drive from Heathrow! Anyway, here it is:

I love the Darling Diva and Different Dimension Polish Con exclusives and the Femme Fatale exclusives very much. The Cadillacquer is a bit of a disappointment, I'm usually disappointed in their polishes, I don't know why I keep buying them. That said, I'm wearing one today and it is quite nice.

I also got my replacement Lotus from CbL as the original has faded. I can't remember if I posted about it here, but if yours is faded, message them directly for a replacement. The faded one is on the left.

My current mani is Cadillacquer Redwood with Urban Nail Art Dreaming over black on the accents. I love the accents, the photos don't do the polish justice, it has a gorgeous inner glow and lots of glitter.

My other, and really quite disastrous mani was Sally Hansen Cinnabar (2011 untried) with Girly Bits A Mother's Love on the accents. The SH was sheer and failed to harden properly, so ended up with lots of dents in it. Meh.



I fear you might be right about the EP restock happening this weekend. I also think she'll do the pre-order for October and November, although I don't care about the mysteries. I've been good and haven't ordered anything for about a week, so I have funds for the EPs, but I don't think I can also buy any Glams. I'm feeling a bit annoyed with Glam nowadays, she's bringing out so many polishes every month. It's 14 this month and I would like at least 9 of them. Ugh. I will probably leave them this month though as I also want the FFs, and the group exclusives will be LE. I'm still waiting for my Harlow & Co package, hopefully that will come this week.

You pretty much went for the FFs I didn't get, lol. I don't buy a lot of CbLs nowadays either, I think I've bought around 15 in the past 6 months or so (which isn't a lot for me, lol). I do like the new charity one and the December COTM, and I think there's one of the holiday ones I quite fancy, but that's it. I used to buy almost all her polishes, but not anymore.

That's a nice haul - sorry to hear they took so long to arrive though.
Nice manis too, I like the Cadillacquer, I've been tempted by that one a few times, but I haven't got it.
EP seems to be just the monthlies this weekend, so still waiting for the Opals I want. I'm coming around to maybe skipping the Glams too, I like them but I can't buy everything...

My latest mani is Esmaltes da Kelly Carina:

Thank you!

I'm glad EP didn't restock the opals and co this weekend, I won't mind having a bit of a break from EP launches, they're getting very expensive! I did skip the Glams and there are only 2 FFs I want, so yay! I will buy a few Pahlishes though as they have a free polish offer on later for Halloween.

Both manis are very nice and blingy!

My Harlow & Co order came, 8 polishes for just over 100 CAD and free shipping isn't too bad.

View attachment 57204

My two recent Halloween-y manis, first is Cupcake Elizabeth with Zoya Lisa (2011 untried) and KBShimmer Clown Puke. Please ignore the yucky plaster, I tore my finger open a few days ago, so needed to cover it somehow.

View attachment 57206

Current mani is CbL Intrigue with CrowsToes Abracadabra (HHC custom) and stamped with Color Club Harp On It. Apparently I don't own any Halloween stamping plates, so the "spiderweb" is from the Pueen Marble Paradise 01 plate.

 

[Anitacska]

My two newest manis, current one is Femme Fatale Cracks on Ganymede. I thought about stamping over it, but never got around to it. Not great with my skintone, but it's a very pretty polish regardless.



My previous mani was EP October 2013 with Girly Bits Smurf Dance on the accents.

Not much else to report here, have ordered a few things, but nothing's due to arrive anytime soon.

Ha, yes I couldn't resist the Pahlishes either - gotta love a freebie!
That's a pretty haul - love the top row!
And your manis are really pretty - I especially love your blood drips, gorgeous polishes and a great design.

Nice! The GB looks especially good!

Sorry, my camera couldn't focus very well, I think it's just too blingy!!!

Very pretty. I don't have this one.

My current mani is Emily de Molly Still Waters with Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe (2011 untried). The flakies don't show up very well in the EdM, but they're more visible irl. The holo is insane though.

View attachment 57332

My previous mani was Glam Polish Scorpio, Loud As The Hell You Want and The Internet Is For Pourn with some homemade decals. I was pleased with this one, sadly didn't have much sun to bring out the bling!

I'm once again left very indifferent about the EP monthlies, October is quite nice, but not enough to bother. Apparently the new collections are restocking very soon, there will be a newsletter about it. Knowing my luck it'll be Saturday as I'll be going to a Europe concert in London. Oh well, I'd still rather see Europe than buy EPs.

 

[Anitacska]

Just a quick heads up that EP is restocking the latest 6 polishes and launching 3 new Opals tomorrow at 8 pm UK time. I highly doubt I'll be able to buy all 7 I want, seeing that last time I only got 2, but we shall see.

 

[Anneri]

She wants to kill me. 12 PST?!???!??!?? That's 3am for me.

Yeah, it sucks big time. It also sucks that it's once again not a preorder, so I have no chance in hell to get everything I wanted. I think I won't bother with the new ones today as they'll probably be restocked anyway, will try for the 4 I missed last time first.

 

[Anneri]

Urgh, no luck today...

 

[Anitacska]

Urgh, no luck today...

You stayed up?! Wow! Sorry you didn't succeed.

I got 3 I missed out on last time, didn't manage Opal Nectar, it's still in stock, but i'm giving up now. I didn't even try for the 3 new ones. Oh well.

 

[Anitacska]

She's doing a preorder for all 6 Opals from 1 - 5 am UK time tonight. It's sort of good, but doing it as a pre-order in the first place would've been better. We'll see if I stay awake long enough or wake up before the preorder ends. Yawn.

 

[Anneri]

Christ, why didn't she do that in the first place?! I didn't stay up but set my alarm clock. I managed to get one of the blue opals straight away but everything else was already in carts. I waited 20 mins for a cart drop, but no luck. So abanded my single opal and went back to sleep. Couldn't get back to sleep because I was fuming then. Woke up to your post Anita and nearly jumped out of bed and hurried to the PC. Preordered. Done. What a night!!! And everything for nailpolish. We really are mad.

I know, we are crazy! I woke up at 1.50 am and bought the 4 Opals I missed out on, then went back to bed. But she could've saved me 35 minutes of refreshing last night. I got Opal Lagoon, Apple Cider and Prismatic Static into my cart straight away, but then couldn't get Opal Nectar in a cart drop. I checked out with the 3 and then gave up eventually. I don't understand why she plays these stupid games!
