Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[PearlyQueen]

This week I'm wearing Takko Queen of Hearts (again, but it's retiring for a while now!):

 

[Anitacska]

That's kind Anita, but I'll leave it thanks, I've overspent for a change... and the one I was most interested in has sold out since last night.

Thanks for being the voice of reason. I decided not to order in the end. A couple of things I wanted have sold out too anyway.

You must really like this polish! I usually only wear something twice when I get mixed up and forget that I've worn it before, hahaha.

My Stackry package actually came 2 days earlier than expected! So I'm happy with FedEx. Took me a while to unpack and take photos, but here they are now.

These EdMs (but 4) are from the Boxing Day sale. I now have over 300. :O



Tonics (one on the right is from the Road to Polish Con).



Road to Polish Con, HHC, Holo Hookup, FTLOP box plus the replacement Phoenix from PfD.



February PPU



Illyrians



My Girly Bits freebie plus other COTM

These are lovely! I'm drawn to the Tonics and Illyrians, of course! Which of the two did you name? I like them!
Is EdM the brand you have most of? I think it's Glam for me, I only have about 70 EdMs I think, they're nice but I hardly ever buy from them since my attempt to cut back on brands. Every time there's a new collection I nearly crumble...

I named the green one. It's called Things Get Better With Sage.

No, I also have the most Glams, closely followed by Femme Fatale. I have over 400 of both. Then EdM, Lilypad and Colors by Llarowe. I have hardly bought any polish from those two though lately, I think I bought one or two from PPU and maybe a COTM or two from CbL from Hypnotic. Lilypad charges a lot now through PPU and I don't think she releases other polishes (other than through HHC) and now CbL has stopped as well, but I'd kind of gone off her polishes anyway.

I do love EdM very much and I think she's been coming out with even more interesting colours lately. Plus her polishes are still on the cheaper side.

Are you in the Tonic group? Lindsey posted a picture of all the new polishes they're taking to Polish Con and they look so gorgeous. Se said they'll be available online over the course of the summer and autumn, which is just as well as there are 28 of them, so there is no way I could afford to buy them through a fairy.

EP has posted a sneak peek of the spring collection, but I'm underwhelmed once again.

And here's this week's mani - Glam Polish Nightmare on Elm Street:

This is nice. I don't think I have it.

 

[Anitacska]

Here are my most recent manis. First up is Femme Fatale Dawn of the Day.



Next is Primark Gold (2012 untried) with Emily de Molly Insipid.



This is Nails Inc Piccadilly Circus with Polished for Days Maera.



Next is Color Club Lavendarling with Topshop Firework, both are 2012 untried.



This is Cupcake Polish New York with Mavala Sparkling Blue (2012 untried).



My current mani is Nails Inc Franklins Row (2012 untried) with Glam Polish Scream Queen.

 

[Anitacska]

Have you seen the new Illyrian prototypes? Will you be buying any? I'm undecided. Quite like them, but also want to save money for polishes that I really want and not just buying because they're only available once. Same goes with EPs, I quite like 2 of them, but $16 for one polish? Meh.

Interesting! 400+ on some brands is awesome! I didn't know Lilypad had retreated from releasing these days, you prompted me to look at their site - so sad, even though I stopped buying a while ago, I hadn't written them off. I agree, they are expensive on PPU, it's put me off some of them.
I'm not in the Tonic group, but I look forward to seeing what's coming up - I suspect I may want some of those!
I like California Raisin from EP, but not buying it just at the moment. Other expenses, sadly.

I love these! I think that gold combo is really lovely, and that last one is just WOW! I have both of those polishes - and I've even worn Franklin's Row when it was new!

I got all the Illyrians except Kong, including the mystery bag - I'm such a sucker for flakies...

Well done! I didn't order. Actually forgot about it, but I wasn't going to anyway. I liked a few, so maybe add them to the swap list. I'll be interested to see what the mysteries look like.

Here are the upcoming Tonics. No more details, but I'm already eyeing up about 20 of them!



I also like California Raisin and the grey one with the flakies, but I'm not buying them. $35 shipped for 2 is just too much. They're not that special.

Wow, that looks stunning! I suspect a few of those might be mine once I see them properly!
I might get CR at a later time from a stockist closer to home along with some other stuff. What do you think of the new P4Ds? I love a couple, but not the whole collection this time. I also like some of the EdM multichromes in the new collection, though I suspect they're dupes for what I already have.

I keep staring at this picture, there are so many gorgeous shimmers! Other than the oranges, maybe the yellow and the green, I'll probably want them all.

I like the PfDs, no all, but about 4 of the garden collection, plus 2 of the toppers. I won't be buying them for a while though. I've got 5 from the holiday/new year polishes coming from Hypnotic, so I'm pretty much up to date and can't really afford these new ones right now. The new EdMs look nice too, but need to see swatches first. Again, won't be buying for a while, I have 7 from the February release coming from Hypnotic.

 

[Anitacska]

Tonic spring collection. I really like them (maybe not the orange one so much).

 

[Anitacska]

Here are my most recent manis. First is Models Own Peacock Green with Tonic Polish Mirabilis. I'm really not sure about these magnetic Tonic toppers.



My next mani is Femme Fatale Midnight Sun with Claire's Velour.



This is Urban Outfitters Copper Holo with Emily de Molly LE 73.

 

[Anitacska]

This is Polished by KPT Belle Ami with Polish Me Silly Party Hearty. The Polished by KPT is a very very subtle thermal. But I do like the colour a lot.



My current mani is Femme Fatale Wicked Witch of the West with Tonic Polish Uba Tuba.
