Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

My current mani, Hits Mari Moon Space Grunge. Pretty, but it took 3 coats to be this opaque and took forever to dry. Hope it won't chip too quickly at least.

I missed it slightly! I kind of knew it would happen today but I promised to go to this work seminar and was there most of the day. Had I come straight to my desk (no, I was at coffee room) I would have gotten some because I had left a 30 min auto refresh on and when I openen my screen about 13.45 UK time the polishes were on, but all sold out when I refreshed!

Either she only had a few bottles of each polish or some people were stalking like crazy if they went so quickly! Oh well, not that fussed. I'm beginning to get too fed up with EP now, the polishes are lovely, but this craze is beginning to get to me...

To all the nail art lovers out here (and there's a lot, I'm sure), have any of you tried or have used the nail art tricks that were posted on the Specktra Facebook page and Twitter feed? I want to try a few but I'd love to know if you've tried some yourselves. Thanks!

That glitter advice isn't brill, you actually need solvent resistant glitter or it'll bleed. I have done tape manicures though.

Do we know when they went up? Did you get anything CC?

I got All Love Garden and Flamingo Freckles for myself, and a few other colors for clients. I'm thinking it went up around 8am EST. I casually checked the site around 8:30 just out of habit. Wasn't expecting to see anything at all, then was shocked when I did. I kind of froze for a few seconds while my brain processed what I was looking at. Some colors were already sold out when I checked like Mr. Burgundy and Shrimp Cocktail.

Totally missed it! Saw cc's post and raced to the site but was too late, guess i ll try my luck with the enchanted site!

 

[Anitacska]

Any news on the EP restock yet on her site?

Well done CC. Can I please send you my list for the next restock?

By the time I checked out, which had to be less than a minute, there were only a few colors left.

Damm, All Olive Garden looked cute :/

Thanks! And of course. Just send me a PM. No news on her restock yet. I guessed it would happen yesterday, but was wrong. I still think it's going to happen soon, though. Maybe this week.

Are they going to restock several times? Or was it someone else? Congratulations, CC!

I'm curious. How did you know Mei Mei's would restock today? It was by chance that I managed to catch it.

Thanks! I don't know if Mei Mei's is going to restock again. I hope so. This one was so random, especially since she has exclusive colors. We're just waiting for Enchanted's site to restock now. It's October, so I'm wondering if she's going to come out with a Halloween collection like she did last year.

I haven't tried any of those tips, but I have seen some of them mentioned before. I don't really do nail art because of the extra work involved, but I really like the lace one. I also like the sponge idea for removing polish. It may work really well with glitter.

I really hope that Macy's get the FNO colors I want the black one :/

I think Macy's will get it. Teger's info is always correct. Chanel.com should have the FNO polishes too according to Teger. I'm just being impatient and wanted them now.

That sounds like a pretty good haul, congrats!
I got All Love Garden, too, and Kids, just couldn't get past that one after seeing Kimibos pics. I had the website up and was casually checking from time to time when I had a free second and I so feel you about the freezing, lol. I went for Water for Unicorns, too, but I lost it from the cart. I will aim for that one next time.

Trying some of the Isadora China Nail art polishes today. I'm not sure about these, String glitter can go either way for me.. Really depends on the way you match them. The one on my thumb/ringfinger is my fav though.

Oh, that would be nice. Which shades were they?

 

[MRV]

Here's my EdM mani: CC&C and Stuck on Blue. I got both last week and had to combo them asap. (Plus had to reshape my nails I had just prepared my nails for this mani and then lost the pinky!)

Another victim!

Love that EP! it's a flaky holo? Will get if I can!


No holo flakes, to me it's seems to be a slightly linear and also scattered holo with a lot of small gold (sometimes slightly greenish) flecks, if this makes sense. It's definitely worth stalking Enchanted's shop and the retailers, though.

Ah, so pretty! Stuck on Blue is retired now, isn't it?


Mei Mei posted there will be 1 or 2 more unannounced restocks at different times during the next couple of days. Good luck to everyone!

Quote from Mei Mei's Facebook: Updates: As mentioned last week, EP will be restocked anytime from now and date/time will not be disclosed to avoid massive traffic jam on website which may lead to disadvantages to everyone. I will conduct multiple launching and this prevents overselling as well. Please bear in mind the website does not has cart hold function, I will be right in front of PC to monitor the situation and keep you posted as soon as I could, just in case. As usual, it will be 1 bottle per color per customer. Open to international on first come first serve basis. There will be multiple launching at different timing. The first round of silent launch/restock has just over. It was very successful. Thank you!

TY for the clarification. It is lovely either way.

Edit: Thanks, yes it is d/c.
RErestocks!? YESSSSSSSSSSS
