Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Blah! Not a chance then! I was going to order only two because that's the max I can do (unless it's monthlies). Not going to pay import taxes. I missed out on the big new release Oct 1st.
On another note, can you recommend rose gold polishes ( that I might have )? I'm going to a grand gala this Saturday, and I have a rose gold clutch (otherwise I'm wearing intense red plum/mulberry).

I think Cirque Halcyon is rose gold, also ILNP Juliette if I remember correctly? I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Hey, sorry, I didn't get around to posting your package, but will definitely do it tomorrow. Hope that's not the clutch you were wanting to use!

 

[MRV]

Thanks! Unfortunately I have neither of them.

Oh no. I have a Ted Baker clutch. I pulled it out and it's actually more on the light copper side (a metallic, mirror like surface), so it seems EdM Fine Art or ILNP Iconic are closer to it. Essie Penny Talk or BL Champers are too light (and pink). Hmm, looks like I have BL Goss too, but I think it falls in the latter group.

No hurry!

 

[Anitacska]

Love your spiderwebs! And Pennywise is much nicer than I thought it would be - lovely manis!

Thank you!

My last manis are:

Depend 2032

F.U.N. Lacquer The Art of Sparkle

These are all pretty! I think I have the FUN, but maybe only the holo version.

So here's my stuff from Stackry. o_o I think I *may* have gone a bit overboard last month. But so many pretties! Btw, I didn't order Tonic Apotheke, they sent it by mistake instead of Uniporn. They're sending a replacement soon.



My last few manis, first up is Bear Pawlish Holiday on the Moon. This was the polish that made me want to join HHC. Very unique.



Femme Fatale Megara, a cool thermal. I'm trying to get through as many untried thermals as possible. Just ordered the 6 LLP exclusives o_o.



My current mani is also Femme Fatale: But a Dream with Femme Fatale Glass Carnival. But a Dream is very sheer, 4 coats and still VNL, and the thermal is more subtle, but still works (I think it was pretty subtle originally)

Holy amazing haul!!! I love the format you use to share your manis. It really helps us to see everything about the polishes.

Btw, what ever happened to Bear Pawlish? I'm new to the scene, so I have no clue. Also, I can't follow which person is behind which brand. Kills me when a maker will comment with their actual names on FB on a more general polish page.

Thank you!

Tennessee (the Bear Pawlish lady) has had some health issues, so she had to stop making polishes. She's lost her sense of smell and I think she's had some serious trouble with her sinuses. Apparently she's getting better, but wasn't sure if she will start making polish again.

I hadn't heard that, I just remember about a year ago she said she was closing till Xmas, and she never came back. That's such a shame, she made some lovely polishes. If you do hear she's back, please let us know.

Thank you! Yes, the Bear is pretty special.

Will do. I like her polishes too, it is a shame she's not able to make more.

Here are my latest manis:

First is Great Lakes Lacquer Coney Island Queen with Indigo Bananas Island Universe (holo)



Next is Zoya Daul (2012 untried) with Nails Inc Fleet Street. Meh. It was okay, but sheer, and I seemed to end up with huge amount of shrinkage. Actually that partly might be down to my topcoat. I've been using the Essence gel top coat for a while, but I seem to be getting more shrinkage than before. I have ordered a Tonic Topper from Femme Fatale, hopefully it'll be here soon and it'll work better.



My current mani is Vapid Lacquer Spellcaster with Powder Perfect Elysium



Wonder if EP will do a Black Friday sale? Probably not and if it's the current stock, I wouldn't bother anyway. I want a good few PfDs and I think Illyrian will have some exclusives too. I'd rather concentrate on those. And yay, I don't love the new Glams, so that's money saved. I do like the new Tonics though, but they're not LE.

These are cute, the first two look great together, and I love the Vapid!

I see there is an EP Black Friday event tonight. Mystery release (you know how we love those)... restock (one I like - Clockwork Castle - , but no)... 25% off "selected polishes", so not the one I want I guess!

I've already way overspent today...

I passed on the EP launch too. If the mystery is really pretty, perhaps I'll get it second hand. She must have made a lot as it was still available nearly 2 hours later. Or maybe people didn't have the money to spend.

What did you buy today? I ordered a good few PfDs and 3 Illyrians as well as some Girly Bits and a couple of CbLs (from Girly Bits). Thought about getting some KBShimmers and ILNPs, but Harlow didn't have everything I wanted in stock, so passed on those in the end.

Oh I had to stop myself, could happily have got more but I spent way over my budget:
Envy
Powder Perfect
Grace-full
Dreamland
Pahlish
Potion
Polished for Days

I was really close to buying from Anonymous, Girly Bits, Illyrian and a few others, but I had to give myself a good talking to! That's the problem when you've been skipping so many releases all year, when a decent discount comes along, you just want to grab everything.
Thankfully, the sales outside of the nail polish world were pretty much non-existent, I had loads of other things I had my eye on and not a single one was reduced, so I blew the money on more shiny flakey goodies!

Has anyone ordered from KL Polish? klpolish.com
Thoughts on their polishes?

They are having a huge birthday sale at the moment & an even bigger sale for Cyber Monday. Thinking of placing an order.

My latest mani is Pahlish Train Underwater:

I've been so busy with visitors this last week I've had no time to change it, so I've been living with tipwear! The good news is that this is stunning, so I didn't really mind.

Ooh what did you get from Pahlish? I saw they had some nice new polishes.

It's tough when you're on a tight budget. I have been buying lots as it is, but there's still so much I want, constantly. I was happy with how restrained I was yesterday though.

It looked like a lot of people had trouble with checking out on the EP site, there were a lot of annoyed people on the FB group. I'm glad I didn't even bother.

I only ordered some Christmas stuff for my daughter, nothing else.

I've also been very busy with trying to find a new car and going to concerts, on top of the everyday hectic life of a single mum with 3 children, a dog and 3 cats!

Ooh pretty!

I managed to put the first 3 items on the EP site into my basket easily, but I wasn't planning to shop, just curious! They're all sold out now. I guess it's just as well I didn't try to check out!
I'm glad someone was restrained yesterday, because I sure wasn't.
My Pahlish list:
The Mouse King
Borealis
Glittoris
Kyary
Don't Blink
Leda
Wavelength
Equinox
Four Calling Birds
Kawaii
Twelve Drummers Drumming
U-Pick
Seven Swans a Swimming
Nine Ladies Dancing
Tangled Tinsel

Two of them were free with purchase, everything was reduced and I got free UK shipping, so a decent deal if a bit expensive!

Ooh some great choices there! I'll be sure to make a note for our next swap!

Looking at the prices and free shipping, I think it's actually a great deal. Obviously not cheap on the whole, but cheap per polish, iyswim.
