Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[boschicka]

I didn't. I don't have money to buy unseen polishes anymore.

I've been burned by other brands before, but I figured Illyrian in autumn was a safe bet. I went for 3 instead of committing to 5. Figured I could trade if I was in love with the 2 I didn't get. Package should be delivered today. I'll post pics if anyone cares.

Yes, please do!

Ooh I would definitely like Dark Kiss and probably a few Pahlishes. Let me have a think and a Google and I'll get back to you soon. Also let me know what you'd be interested in mostly, I have some newer Illyrians coming soon and I have a few PfDs from PPU/FTLOP box too.

Cool, let me know which Illyrians/PfDs you've had recently!
If you're in the market for Pahlishes, this was the order before last:

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

There are some cool ones there too!

Like Anita, I don't have spare cash for mysteries any more, but I'd love to see what you get. I was tempted...!

They look nice. Do you like them?

Yes, but haven't swatched them yet. They are all very pretty. Moon Howls (right) looks like the most beautiful navy with gorgeous gold flakes. And of course the middle purple color is a hit. Love purple.
Ghoulish (left) is so different each time I look at it, that I'm excited to try it out on the nail.

Wow, those are shifty - I thought there were 9 polishes for a minute! Lovely, especially the middle one. Well done, enjoy wearing them.

These are very nice! I especially like the Pahlish. (I don't have either.)

 

[Anitacska]

Here are some of my recent manis. First is Femme Fatale Hallow's Mischief with OPI Servin' Up Sparkle (2012 untried).



Next is Glam Polish The Big Sky with Glam Polish You Spin Me Round



This is OPI Grape Set Match (2012 untried) with Lilypad Lacquer Dreamer of the Night



Next is Emily de Molly Over Drive (the stamping is Emily de Molly Pink/Orange over Urban Decay Perversion)

 

[Anitacska]

A few more manis. First is Girly Bits Chicago Fair-ever. I really liked this one.



Next is Barry M You Go Girl with Femme Fatale Pearl Droplets. The Barry M was very disappointing, I think it took 4 coats and it was still quite sheer.



This is Model's Own Copper Pot (2012 untried) with Tonic Here Comes the Sun over Zoya Willa. I'm not a big fan of the Tonic, only managed to get one nail properly magnetised and it doesn't look that great overall. Meh.



Next one is Femme Fatale Sunrise Funfair with Different Dimension …Dream Within a Dream



My current mani is Nails Inc Palace Street with Glam Polish Doin' Time for Bein' Young. Not fan of the Nails Inc, took 3 coats and it's very gritty even after 2 coats of topcoat.

 

[Anitacska]

By the way, these are my remaining 2012 untrieds. I was hoping to go through them all by the end of the year, but I don't think it's going to happen now.

These are nice! Overdrive is so pretty, but I especially like the OPI/Lilypad combo.

Also very pretty - I like the pink one, even if it's neither my usual pick nor a good polish!
