Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Not so many as I would have expected! Well done so far.

I have used 57 of my 2012 untrieds since I started, still 79 left!

I'm not going to do it with the 2013 ones, there's too many and I'd be limited to certain brands. I am thinking of using the older ones from those brands though, but I also want to use my newer polishes. #firstworldproblems

My latest mani is Glam Polish House of 1000 Corpses:

Nice! This is very you!

 

[PearlyQueen]

My latest is Powder Perfect Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (I know, all you OCD ladies will have a fit!!!):


I was sad to find out PP are now defunct. I've been less impressed with them in recent times, but they used to be my absolute favourite brand, and I have some lovely things from them. Including this!

Yes, she had a third baby (god only knows why, lol), so she's closed the business. I have a few of her polishes, they're nice, but I'm not that fussed. She's really sweet though, I still follow her on Instagram as [MENTION=97521]Jacinta[/MENTION]_pierce.

Oh and you say that, my local Next already has a Christmas tree in their window!

Finally getting around to sharing a picture of my Stackry delivery. I'm pretty happy with everything.

 

[Anitacska]

Also here are some of my most recent manis. First is Enchanted Polish Hey Jude (2012 untried!) with Bow Polish Astral Holo (magnetic) over Zoya Willa. I struggled to make the magnetic work and it looks quite messy, but it was pretty nice in the end.



Next is Lilypad Lacquer Wine Me Up with Revlon Sparkling (2012 untried)



This is Fair Maiden Holomaniacs Custom #16 with Orly Sashay My Way (2012 untried - I'm chugging through them steadily!)

 

[Anitacska]

A couple more recent manis, first is Different Dimension Bo Peep with Ciate Antique Brooch.



My current mani is Vapid Catamaran with Illyrian Polish Mountain Sound.

Very nice, especially those Illyrians (love my decants, thank you!)

Love these! The magnetic combo looks gorgeous, and I love the last one - that red is stunning, and the glitters look fantastic in the close up.

These are lovely soft shades, very pretty.

My latest is Illyrian Last Phase:


This is so stuffed with flakies, stunning. Very glowy. The last pic was an attempt to capture the shifty blue greens I saw in my sunny living room on Sunday, but not very successful unfortunately. Should have taken the pic at the time, but I didn't realise how hard it would be to make it shift like that in other lighting!

Thanks. I also really like EP Fall Semester (top right).

Thanks. I didn't really like the red, it's more brown than it shows in the pictures. I think I'm going to sell it.

These are lovely soft shades, very pretty.

Thanks. Different Dimension never fails me. Also Vapid make some really nice shimmers.

Ooh lovely. I had to double check to see if I definitely owned it. Wish I had more fingers, so I could wear all my polishes.

This week I'm wearing Sally Hansen Mystical Mandarin topped with Maybelline Silver Tulle:


The topper killed the holo though. And I forgot this collection hates base coat, so it's a bit "bumpy" and uneven. Not my best. Quite a pretty combo though, apart from the issues!

What are you all eyeing for Black Friday sales or special releases? I have to admit I'm having a difficult time keeping up with everything these days. I'm in too many groups.

I'm trying to be good, so won't be ordering much, but I really want some Polished for Days and possibly Illyrians (depending on what they're releasing). Tonic won't have a BF release / deal, so I'm safe. I can't think of any other brand I want to buy from. Maybe Hypnotic Polish if they have some good deals. There are a few polishes I'd been wanting from them.

I was thinking Pahlish and Illyrian - but Pahlish have theirs up for preview, and I'm struggling to find enough I want to get to the free shipping threshold, so I think I'll be skipping it this year. Shame as I usually love BF on their site, but I'm not a massive fan of what's being released - I only love about three of them. I'm a bit gutted because I adore the free polishes. So I guess it's just a matter of finding out what Illyrian is putting out - I'm sure I've missed a few colours I loved from them this year, fingers crossed they bring them back for next week.
I do need a refill for my HK Girl, so I'll keep an eye out to see if I can get it cheap.

Now you've said that, I do have a couple of P4Ds on my wishlist, maybe I'll look at those too.

It looks pretty. I don't have either of these.

Aah, that's a shame about Pahlish. Maybe you'll be able to pick up the ones you like in a destash. I haven't really looked, I'm trying to be good and stick with just PfD, Illyrian, Glam and possibly Hypnotic Polish. On that note, did you see that EP is now stocked by Hypnotic? Their shipping is very reasonable even if you only buy a couple of polishes, not like Pshiiit's was. There's nothing I want, but they do have some of the latest collections and some older stuff too if you're interested.
