Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

That's pretty!

I can't post mani pictures right now as we're in Hungary this week, staying at my mum's. I will post them next week.

A friend of mine visited us today and brought me a nice polish, it's a blue-green multichrome. Some unknown brand, but it's nice.

Hope you had a lovely time!
Nice to get a good unknown polish as a gift!

Sakes, here we go again. Ordering the Enchanted mysteries on Sunday.

I know this was mentioned not too long ago, but what is the new name for Mentality Polish, so I can make a mental note?

I busted my budget for them - and got stuff I'm not fussed about. I hope this year picks up soon, another neutral and a pink holo are not gaps in my collection that needed filling

 

[PearlyQueen]

I was just coming here to say remember the Enchanted pre-order on Sunday! Hope this time they're going to be really amazing.

I thought it was still Mentality? But maybe I'm wrong. I think @Anneri posted about it.

There are so many new releases I'd like, including Glam, KBShimmer, Femme Fatale, I'll be in trouble next month. Luckily my Mum gave me some money, so I can buy a bit more polish this month. I'll also buy a telly for my bedroom that I've been putting off for months. Yay!

I'm really looking forward to the new Glam Slayer collection, I need to hold off till then with any other shopping. Was planning to refill my HK Girl bling bottle this month, but it will need to wait!
Yay for mums, and yay for a new telly!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Finally I have a bit of time to sit down and post some mani pictures. It's been manic here since we got back from Hungary on Sunday evening. My eldest went on a 5-day residential trip on Tuesday, so I had to wash everything quickly and pack up his stuff. I also had a ton of shopping to do and just generally lots of things to sort out. I should really be cleaning right now, but that can wait.

Anyway, here are my manis:

Different Dimension Gemini with Indigo Bananas Hay Ride (holo)

Right, that's all. No haul pictures as I've not received anything in ages. My Stackry box is being emptied soon though. And there are 16 polishes in the Femme Fatale group buy (FF and EdM) that I'm hoping to pick up on Friday.

Did anyone order the EP mysteries. I did. Hoping for something very nice this time.

Lovely manis - loads I don't have! My fave is Believe, which I do have! And I love the red/pink combo of course!

 

[PearlyQueen]

Yeah, I'm really quite fed up with them now. Although I have just received May and June and June is actually pretty nice. But I want more than just "pretty nice". I also got my Tonics, Illyrians and Polished for Days and I can't stop staring them, they're all so pretty!

Oo, piccies if you can! They're three of my fave brands at the moment, but I'm still trying to stay on budget so not buying all the cool goodies I lust after.

 

[PearlyQueen]

EP is having a sale! Everything in the shop will be $12! I have literally never seen an EP sale! Things can't be selling very well, I guess it's the combination of high prices and so many amazing brands. I don't want anything as I literally own everything I've ever wanted from her shop, but wow!

So weird, I wondered if she was closing down, never seen her have a sale before. In the olden days I'd have bought back-ups of all the oldies, but I just don't have the funds these days. And I had almost everything I wanted, so resisted fairly easily.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Hi Anita and other girls! A very long time no see. As I already told Anita, I'm ok but I was unknowingly close to what happened here last night. A raving lunatic stabbed 10 persons, two of them died. He attacked random women injuring also two men who came to help the victims. At the time of the first stabbings I was at work (100 meters from the scene, a corner of the matket place), leaving home. I headed half way towards the scene to a shop. After 10 minutes or so I went - noticing nothing - a short passage to the opposite direction to a department store which was later evaquated. At this time I already knew that some one was stabbed and had died because a coworker called me and told that she had seen a body bag. I was able to go safely home. - The scary part was that had I had any cash on me I would have headed a few minutes earlier to the very spot as I did 24 hours before. Also, had the perp run to the opposite direction he did (stabbing 7 people on his way), we would have come across, or at least I would have seen something.
They are now considering it a terrorist attack. We have never seen this kind of violence at peace time. Very, very sad.

Oh how awful, must have been really scary for you. I'm so glad you're OK. Sad times indeed.

 

[PearlyQueen]

I also have manis - sorry I've been a bit awol recently, life keeps interrupting my fun times
(Nothing serious, mostly just really busy with work)
Glam Polish GEE!

Really pretty, I wish I'd got the whole trio, but I just bought half a bottle of this in a blog sale.

Perfect H1

This is really cool too! I wasn't really looking forward to it, it's old school have to shake the holo pigment through it, and it's been sitting in a drawer for years unloved, but I was seriously impressed - shook it up, and it mixed brilliantly, and every application was even. I have most of the collection unworn, I may have to try the others soon!

Darling Diva Game Over, Man

Really pretty too, very vibrant, but I soon got used to it!

Ugh, totally. I'm quite happy about Disco Barbie, but I already have BRBM and it's grey anyway.

Yay for mums, and yay for a new telly!

I'm not really sure about that collection. I do quite like the look of the Beetlejuice one. But I need to see more swatches first. I really loved last month's collection at first sight, but ended up only ordering 4 of them. So I may not actually want many this month either.

Lovely manis - loads I don't have! My fave is Believe, which I do have! And I love the red/pink combo of course!

It seems she still has loads of stock left, not many shades sold out during the sale either. To be fair, some of those are 4-5 years old, so most people would have them already anyway. I didn't get anything, wasn't even tempted. I do wonder if there'll be some new polishes soon though, she's not released much lately other than the monthlies.

Here you go!





I also really love these 3 brands at the moment, I've ordered more Illyrians already and some Tonics too.

This is my FF two monthly group buy haul that I received earlier this month. It includes the new Beauty So Fly exclusive and the replacement for their previous exclusive (Insidious) that they had a faulty batch of. Well, not really faulty, it was missing some extra pigments and they were told they shouldn't sell those, but they did anyway, so now they had to replace them. Oh well, free polish.

Nice manis! I only own Gee of them (and luckily the whole trio), but I do like the others too. Will post some manis a bit later too.

 

[Anitacska]

Alright, here's a few manis from the past 2 weeks or so.

Emily de Molly Crystal Cavern (from my favourites list) with Urban Outfitters Mermaid on the accents. The UO doesn't show up much and it bubbled up as well, so it was a bit meh. It would be better over dark colours.



Barry M 333 Black Multi Glitter (2012 untried) with Indigo Bananas Mul-TI-Pass. Like the IB, but the Barry M was meh.



Colors by Llarowe A Lot More Help Sucking Up with Dance Legend Beautiful Lie. I loved this combo.



Great Lakes Lacquer The Center Cannot Hold with Powder Perfect Unobtanium. This mani was just amazing. Gah!



I have to take the dog to the vets for his booster jab. Will post more mani pictures later.

 

[Anitacska]

More manis:

ILNP Rehab with Glam Polish Batch #10 on the accent (they're very similar!)



Darling Diva You Bought & Paid For That One with Indigo Bananas Watercolor Memories (holo)



Emily de Molly LE20 (from my favourites list)



Nails Inc New King's Road (2012 untried) with Femme Fatale Bottle of Infinite Stars



My current mani, ILNP Chocolate Slate with FUN Lacquer Superhero Landing (from my favourites list). I really like these browns, a little bit purple-y. Very very similar too, just a bit more glitter in the FUN.

 

[Anitacska]

New EP fall collection. Launch info coming soon. There's also a video on the EP Facebook page.

 

[Anitacska]

So has anyone ordered any EPs? I've skipped. Everything. I know right? I just didn't find any of them unique or interesting enough. I quite like Rainbow Relish and Magic Mushroom, but not enough to bother.

I have a feeling others had the same thoughts as they're all still available.

Exactly, same here. Rainbow Relish and Magic Mushroom are unique, but they are the types of colors for me that I like to look at and respect but not wear.

 

[Anneri]

Haha, me three! I kinda liked Crushed Cherries and the Mushroom, but the whole collection is so boring! Some holos, scattered holos and a duochrome, how unimaginative! I want to say "groundbreaking" in Meryl Streep's voice...

Yeah, very boring. Just how many more dark blues, reds and purples do we need? She's going to have to up her game if she wants my money in the future.

I bought my Glams, ended up blowing more than I could afford but I got the Slayer collection and a few extras. Skipped Beeteljuice, though I was definitely tempted by a few - maybe next time!

Oh these are soooo pretty, I want loads of them! The Illyrians stand out, I haven't had many of those for a while, just no funds to spare. I think I might need some soon though!
