Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

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.

These are so nice! I love the blue one best, I don't think I own anything on this post!

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.

More lovely manis, I adore them - especially the EdM!

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.

OK, I bought five of them, couldn't afford it but they're EPs and I liked them!!! I skipped the brown one, I seem to be in a minority there - it's the only one you all wanted! I thought I'd miss them as I was on the way home from work at launch time, but 20 minutes later when I got home they were all available. I thought I'd have to splash out with Pshiiit but no. I was going to skip the yellow and green but of course got carried away as usual. Budget = busted!

My last few manis:


Enchanted Polish Good Life


KBShimmer Leaf of Faith (I keep going back to this one!)


KBShimmer Rollin' With The Chromies


Glam Polish The Boy Who Lived - another stunner, love it!

 

[Anitacska]

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!

No Glams for me this month, I wasn't that keen on the Buffy ones, wanted 5 of the Beetlejuice ones (all but the green), so decided it wasn't worth ordering just 5. Also, I've spent so much on back to school stuff (uniforms, shoes and supplies), I really couldn't afford any more polishes.

These are from last month's haul:

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!

The Illyrians are all gorgeous. I also love Tonic and PfD at the moment. I've got 4 new Illyrians from Mei Mei as well, they are amazing too.

Lol, I knew you would. I'm actually surprised you didn't get all 6! Hope you like them when you receive them.

Glam Polish The Boy Who Lived - another stunner, love it!

Lovely manis. The Glam is very pretty.

I'll post my mani pictures later, but I want to go shopping today. First day without any children at home, my younger two had started already, but today's my eldest's first day in college. Freedom!

Ooooh, that Lacquester is so pretty in your photos. I was unimpressed when I looked up swatches online but now...
Also, I love that you aren't afraid to wear all different colors.

Thank you! Yes, it is very pretty. Definitely recommend it if you like purples.

I like mixing it up. I'd get bored with just a few colours. I'm wearing browns today!

Very chic - that Smitten/Dreamland is a beautiful shade, one I don't have sadly.

 

[PearlyQueen]

View attachment 61347

Those are really cool! I would never have thought of looking in Primark.

 

[PearlyQueen]

My new mani is GlitterDaze You're Like, Really Pretty:



It's not really my colour, very vibrant though. I have to say after 2 days the tipwear is noticeable.
I've been contemplating buying more from them, but I don't think I'll bother - too many better brands out there!

 

[Anitacska]

These are so stunning!!!

I still have the Illyrians sitting on my desk, I keep staring at them they are even more gorgeous in real life.

Really pretty! The OPI is very cute, and I love Lunar Lust and your stamping.

Thank you!

Thanks. I bought that in a destash as I joined HHC after they were released.

Those are really cool! I would never have thought of looking in Primark.

I believe they also have pink and blue, but my Primark didn't have those. I might go to Guildford sometime and check there.

This is pretty. I only have one of their polishes too, it was in one of the FTLOP boxes. I haven't tried it yet. But they're in HHC this month and also made a gorgeous custom for the Holomaniacs Facebook group, so I might order those. Tipwear after 2 days is actually great for me. If I don't have chipping after 2 days, that's amazing, so it wouldn't bother me.

 

[Anitacska]

Here are my latest manis: First is Bear Pawlish Oh, Edward! With Polished for Days Jingle Bells



Darling Diva Royale with Polished for Days Kayi



My current mani is Illyrian Polish Unicorn Spell with Fair Maiden Hemera. I really love this one. The Illyrian had been on my list to wear for a while, it's so pretty, and so is the Fair Maiden.



I've been really good, haven't bought anything lately. I have a good few polishes at Stackry and 12 Femme Fatales as part of the UK group buy, but those won't be here until next week. My credit card balance is humongous this month with my daughter's birthday, start of school and other necessary purchases (and my washing machine needed fixing).

I ordered about a dozen of them a couple of years ago, this is the second one I've worn! I don't recall the same tipwear with the other one, but it was a while ago. I'd go nuts if I had chipping after two days!!!
