Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

My Hypnotic Polish order came, I love the new EdMs so much. Also PfD 2019 and Sparkler are so gorgeous too.



I also got this Bees Knees from a destash.



I don't have it yet, but I found EP Ocean Potion in another destash! Eeek! Sadly I missed out on December 2012, it sold really quickly. It was very affordable as well. Oh well, what can you do. But Ocean Potion! Yay!

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.

Lovely! I really like that first mani, I think I may even have that green polish. I think the topper is quite effective, but I'm thinking there must be an issue with them if you've complained about them more than once.

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.

These are nice too, that green combo is so fresh!

Stunning order, I love all of them! You had me googling that red EdM one, it's available in a couple of places - I may have to invest, though unexpected enormous bills have hit for this month again, so not right now.
That BK looks fantastic as well.
And yay!!!! Ocean Potion!!! You've wanted it for soooo long, I'm truly pleased for you. I hope it lives up to your expectations.

And here's what I've been wearing this week - Takko Lacquer Cactus Rose:


I was really disappointed when this arrived, all the pics I'd seen showed the shimmer, but the bottle was all about the green background. However, though it's not my favourite shade, it does suit my skintone - and the shimmer showed up on the nails prominently, so it was all good!

I don't know what it is, I just don't like them. They don't magnetise very well and I just feel very bleh about them. I think I will sell this one too.

These are nice too, that green combo is so fresh!

Thanks.

It's LE 143 and it is very pretty.

Thanks. I couldn't believe my luck. It didn't even cost that much.

Sorry about the enormous bills, I had a lot of expenses this month too and some more coming up next month. Meh.

Unfortunately I'm loving most of the Tonics that are being previewed. Also Tonic is the guest maker for the April FTLOP box. I'm trying to only focus on the very LE stuff coming out, I can't really afford to buy anything else.

On that note, what do you think of the new Glam collection? I really only like one polish, and I don't think I'll be buying.

It's an interesting colour, cool shimmer.

I'm not fussed on the new Glams either - I like one from the "moon" related collection, and there are a couple of the Fantastic Beasts ones I skipped previously that I kind of fancy getting, but I won't be splashing out this month - maybe next time I'm ordering, if they're still available. It's always quite nice when I don't like new Glams, saves me some money for other brands! Or dental bills...
Those Tonics are super bright and kinda cute, but again since I'm broke I won't be ordering.
However, Illyrian are doing more Realms polishes, and I think I'll be wanting at least some of those!

Yeah, I agree, I quite like it when I don't want anything from Glam. I'm pretty sure I got everything I wanted from the Fantastic Beats collection when it first came out.

Luckily the Tonics are being released in instalments, since she's bringing out about 28 new shades. Unfortunately I like about 25 of them. Oops.

I wish Illyrian kept things in stock for longer, they have 2 new store exclusives launching on the 5th and then the Realm 2 collestion on the 12th, but I bet they won't overlap. I don't want to pay shipping and consolidation fees twice within a week. Ugh.

 

[Anitacska]

Finally got my January-February Femme Fatale group buy polishes. Unfortunately DHL has flagged up the deliveries, so they're not marking them down anymore. Tax wasn't too bad, but I'll have to think about ordering much from them going forward.

 

[Anitacska]

Some recent manis, first is Emily de Molly Peer Pressure with Ever After The Pink Berets.



Next is Zoya Mimi (2012 untried) with Pahlish Rum Runner Hibiscus. Can't believe how similar these are, obviously the Pahlish has more and bigger flakies, but the colour is exactly the same.



My current mani is Enchanted Polish Kids with Different Dimension Lost Boy. Can't believe I've had Kids for 6 years and only just got around to wearing it, it's so pretty. Also really love Lost Boy.

I realised a few days ago I totally skipped the first Fantastic Beasts release because they all looked too transparent for me. These ones don't look like that and I like several of them - shame it's a "now or never" job from the UK importer as I really can't afford to buy this time. And I agree about Illyrian, they're becoming the EP for 2019!

I really like a few of those ones! What a pain with the import fees though, it's just annoying when a good source turns sour.

I love these! Especially the last one of course! I haven't worn Kids either - and the minute I got it I wanted to get it on my nails! (Along with a few others from the EP multichromes, none of which have been worn so far). I like the DD on the accents even more!

This week I've been wearing Pahlish Time Vortex:

I think I got 4 of them, but I wasn't overly impressed. I'm definitely skipping Glam this month. I'm skipping Femme Fatale too, get me!

Apparently Illyrian aren't launching the exclusives on the 5th, it'll be the birthday trio and some prototypes and everything is set to come back later, so I'm being strong and not ordering.

I really like them too, but luckily the last 2 collections, cotms and fotms just haven't appealed to me.

Nice one! I don't have this.

 

[Anitacska]

Have you seen the new FTLOP box? Such a pretty one this month, I'm definitely buying it. The other purchase I'm allowing myself is PPU, luckily I don't have a long list.
