Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

Here are my latest polish purchases:

3 for 2 offer in Superdrug:



From a destash:



My combined Glam order:



The Tonic from a destash and my Girly Bits order:



My 2 monthly Femme Fatale group buy:

 

[Anitacska]

Here are my most recent manis. First is ILNP Cameo with Tonic Polish Better on Top over Zoya Willa. I couldn't get the magnetic effect to show up properly, I have actually sold the Tonic since (and also the other one I used a while back).



Next is Lilypad Lacquer Rose Gold with Milani Digital (2012 untried)



This is Emily de Molly Water Balance with FUN Lacquer Legend



Next is Dollish Polish NY State of Mind with Different Dimension Juliet. The Dollish is supposed to be close to their old amazing and very rare Toxic Avenger (I have a 5 ml bottle), but it's not really. Quite nice though.



First thermal of the season, Femme Fatale Venusville. Trying to get through some more thermals this autumn/winter.



My current mani (about to be removed) is Emily de Molly Path of Travel with Girly Bits Hat-a-tude

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.

Yes, I spotted the Hypnotic announcement - I was thinking if they have a discount code I'll pick up that red I wanted with my HK Girl refill. If not, maybe next month and get the refill direct.

Well, thanks for that - where was it announced? I keep an eye on FB and Instagram, but I hadn't seen the list.
So I had a good google, and ruled out loads, plus losing the ones I already own has cut it significantly too. Quite a few I can't find (I presume the prototypes are new ones along with BF releases), so I'll have to take a look once they release. I don't think any of them are the ones I've missed and been hoping for though - hopefully these will be even nicer! The list seems very heavy on the pale and neutral shades, so I'm hoping the ones I don't know will be more vibrant.

Lovely! I adore some of those, really nice colours, especially the EdMs. I've been skipping those, maybe unjustly if that pic is anything to go by!

These are lovely. Cameo is stunning, I should dig out my ILNP multichromes, I love them and they've been sadly neglected. Shame about the Tonic, hope your others work better.
The EdM/FUN mani is lovely too - I do love a strong colour more than a pastel!

It was posted in the Illyrian group. Yes, the protos and BF exclusives are new and there's been no swatches yet. I don't think I want anything from the older ones, there's one store exclusive I'm missing (Sanguine I think it's called), but that's not there. So we'll see.

Thank you. I love EdM and always try to get a few from each collection. I'm a bit behind right now, but she said she'd be doing a Boxing Day sale, so will save up my list until then.

Thanks. Yes, ILNP multichromes are great. I've pretty much gone off the brand lately as they haven't come out with anything very exciting (which is fine as it saves me money), but I do love my old multichromes. Same with FUN, I find them meh and overpriced, but the old stuff is nice.

Sanguine is the only one on my "missed" list that I know the name of! I skipped when it first released, then the re-release came while I was waiting for an order to ship, I emailed to ask if I could combine but got no response (she's rubbish with emails), so I wasn't going to pay double UK shipping for one polish. I definitely hoped it would be on this release list. I really like one of the ones on site at the moment, but it will probably be gone when the BF stuff goes live

Hopefully it will come back. They don't combine shipping anyway, so can't blame you for not ordering just one polish! I've bought both that are on the site (not the mystery bag), so let me know which one it is and we can add it to our next swap.

Good to know they don't combine, guess that's why I never got an answer!
It's gone now, so I've forgotten the name of course... I'm sure it had something to do with Veins ...!
I'll bear it in mind for next time!

This week's mani is Pahlish Nine Ladies Dancing:

 

[Anitacska]

FYI: EP has a 25% sale with code: THANKYOU and a new mystery polish Unicornicopia, but the discount doesn't apply to that. I would've got it with the discount, but I won't buy it full price. Hope it's ugly, lol.

In My Veins Yep, ordered that. Will need to keep a list of what we want from each other, lol.

 

[Anitacska]

Anyone bought anything from the sales? I've done a lot of damage already, but I'm only buying a few Illyrians now and that's it. Well, until the Tonic launch anyway.

I've bought from Cupcake, Hypnotic Polish, Glam, PfD, Fair Maiden and ILNP.

I hit up PfD, Great Lakes, Lollipop Posse and Illyrian (only for Aw Shift). Will check out CbL later today.

I just got Aw Shift, the pink exclusive and 3 protos from Illyrian. That's it. Not looking at anything else now.

I'm still tempted to pick up that red - but it is just another red holo, I've resisted so far. The name of the mystery feels like I'd love it, but I'm not doing mysteries really, and I didn't realise no discount on it, so I will pass.
