Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

My ES/EP order has finally arrived at Stackry. Took about a week, very slow, not sure why. Still a month until I ship them though, so won't see them soon.

I have a few manis to share, I even did some nail art at the weekend! (And ordered some new stamping plates from Whatsup Nails as they had a 20% off sale going on.)

First mani is Femme Fatale Aurora Borealis (thermal)

Next is Cupcake Polish Field of Flowers with Glam Polish Lunar Eclipsed. The Cupcake is so pretty, but it started chipping on me very quickly. Such a shame.

Next one is Femme Fatale Kida (thermal) with decals made with Glitter Gal Marine Blue (2012 untried) and Bondi Blue. Probably the last time I've worn a thermal this spring as it's supposed to be 22-24 C degrees from tomorrow.

My current mani is Colors by Llarowe Rockin' My Juju with Glam Polish The Wars to Come

View attachment 63790 View attachment 63791 View attachment 63792 View attachment 63793

Mine only arrived yesterday (just after I'd emptied it of course...). Ridiculously slow shipping, though I'm usually in no rush!
Nice manis - your decals look pretty, and the CbL is much nicer than I expected.

My latest mani is Dandy Nails Hands of Time.


And I wore Leaf of Faith again


So better pictures, but too small - I'll try again next time!
The DN is cute, none of the pics picked up the little green glitters though.
And I'm now officially over LoF, I'm putting it away for a while and picking something else to wear to death!

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, I've never been that excited about the UPs, I have several but don't feel the urge for more. But I do love a good red!
I've really cut back on EdM, just the odd one here and there these days. I'm sure I saw one I fancied in the new collection though (is there a pink/red flakie?).

Have you seen the new Glam shades? 4 HP ones + 2 HP group exclusives. I really like a few of them. Also there'll be a May 4th trio (that I haven't seen yet).

I think that's the magnetic one. I really like EdM, consistently excellent quality and I love her creativity.

Thank you! Yes, the CbL was very nice. I don't buy much from her nowadays, but I do like my existing CbLs.

The blue is very pretty. You are funny with that KBShimmer. I really don't think I could wear a polish more than twice, I have so many I want to get through and so little time.

I have a few manis to share, I made decals again! Ooh get me!

First is Anonymous Lacquer Get Up Stand Up with Grace-full Polish Lilac Light



Next is Pretty Jelly Hestia with ILNP Glory



I also did my toe nails seeing that it was 30 degrees last week, it's Glam Polish Cosmic Shower



My current mani is Cupcake Polish You Are My Jewel with FUN Lacquer TGIF and decals made with the Cupcake. I did a slightly different design on my right hand, but I'm really rubbish with my left hand, so can't even clean it up properly let alone apply polish neatly, so excuse the mess please.

 

[Anitacska]

There was a secret EP restock last night with 2 new polishes (shimmers) in case anyone's interested. I missed it (I think it was around 1 am), but I wouldn't have ordered anyway.

 

[Anitacska]

Also new monthly mysteries launching on Sunday. It's a pass for me.

These are all really pretty - especially your Cupcake and decals mani!

Glad I'm not bothered, I guess this is the way her secret launches are going to be going forward, thankfully I wouldn't have bought these anyway.

I'm not bothered about these, but I'm worried I might miss out on something I'd really like, eg. Ocean Potion if she keeps doing these unannounced, middle of the night restocks.

This week I'm wearing Esmaltes da Kelly - Belle:


Not really my kind of gold. And my husband (who never notices my nails) was motivated without prompting to tell me it is horrible!

Oh no! That's terrible and hilarious.

Lol, it's not that bad! Admittedly, I don't really like this kind of gold on me either.

My first order from Nail Artisan, I'd been eyeing up these NeverMind polishes for ages, but never got around to ordering them from the maker directly. Plus black Hit the Bottle stamping polish (mostly for the free delivery).



Here are my most recent manis, first up a failed attempt at decal making. The blobs were supposed to be pineapples, lol. This is Glisten & Glow Great Barrier Reef Plate Corals with Zoya Ray on the accents under the blobs.



Next is ILNP Hi-Fi with Bear Pawlish Curiosity. My camera did not like the colours, the ILNP is showing correctly, but the Bear Pawlish was more purple. The last picture shows the true colour of the BP, but of course it makes the ILNP look much warmer than it is.



Since the weather turned back to winter, I managed to squeeze in one last thermal mani. This is Femme Fatale Euna with Femme Fatale We're All Just Stardust.



And finally, a successful decal making session! This is Emily de Molly Sleep Walking with Femme Fatale Morning Glory.

Those look nice, I don't know Nevermind at all - and haven't yet tried Nail Artisan, though I've looked a few times! How was the process?
Love your manis, though your pineapples aren't the best! I think you have a problem with yellow things, the last issue was with daffodils wasn't it? Love your purple mani, especially the Bear. And your second decals are lovely.

Sold out when I looked, but I only liked one of the two so I wouldn't have bought anyway.

This week I'm wearing Lilypad Lacquer Raining Fire:


Much nicer than I expected - and I checked with hubby, he likes this one!

It was fine. Very quick shipping, no problems at all.

Thank you! I think I need to use black or white for the outlines or they blur too much otherwise. Had to trim down my thumb nail due to a side break, but will make a new set of decals this weekend again.

I could've bought them, but only liked the blue and even that I'm not sure I would've bought without swatches. Meh.

Surprisingly I don't have this Lilypad. It's pretty!

Have you seen the March/April EP mysteries? The April one is quite nice, but it reminds me of Tonic One Million Flowers.

Glad I didn't buy those EP mysteries, I don't especially like either of them.
