Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

My latest mani is Smitten Polish Aqua Opal:


It's even brighter in the flesh!

 

[Anitacska]

Congrats on the divorce!
I'll be interested in how your new forwarding service goes, let us know! - lol, just saw you've posted about it, I may be interested soon, but I have preorders going to Stackry for now, so maybe next time! I'll contact you when I want to use it. Glad it worked out though!

Thank you!

Yeah, definitely let me know, it's so much cheaper than Stackry.

Gorgeous haul, lovely manis!
Your watermarbling isn't that bad!

Thank you. The other hand definitely looked worse. Oh well.

Cute haul, I specially like the look of your Bears! What's the Dreamland one?

Thank you! The Dreamland was a HHC exclusive, its called Dancing in the Sky.

My latest mani is Smitten Polish Aqua Opal:

It's even brighter in the flesh!

Very nice, bright, summery colour!

I've finally got around to posting my manis, there's been a few and even a pedi!

First one is an oldie, Sally Hansen Coral Amber with Lilypad Rainbows Rule on the accents. The SH was surprisingly nice, very pretty colour and a nice holo.



Second mani is EP June 2015 with Nude Mood on the accents, then I added some decals I made last weekend (EP June 2015, Monsters Ink and Dope Jam). I actually really like Nude Mood, it's quite grey, so works well on me (warm nudes don't). Doesn't really show under the decals, maybe I'll use it again in a different mani soon.



As you can see, I'd trimmed down my nails, I broke my right middle finger nail, so decided to trim the others down too (although nowhere near as short as that one fingernail is).

Current mani is Femme Fatale Sorrow Wing. I like this, but don't love it.



Finally my pedi, Zoya Kimmy (2011 untried):

Thanks! Grrr, another FB group cutom thing I've missed! Just as well I have a few others!
Your decals look great, and some pretty manis - and I think my fave of all the ones you've used is Kimmi - looks stunning with your "fierce" sandals!

New mani - Darling Diva, Don't Call Me I'll Call You:

 

[Anneri]

Thanks Anneri. Yeah, I wouldn't stay up until 1 am on a Sunday night / school night. Oh well, like you said, it's only a polish and someone will probably come out with something similar soon. Every maker is doing flakies at the moment, someone posted a Frenzy polish on the FB group that looks similar (although that was a FB group custom).

Thank you. The water here is very hard and I did boil it, also maybe it was down to the polishes too, but most likely my skills, hahaha.

How exciting! How long are you going for? I have 38 polishes coming from the US, it'll be like Christmas for me when they arrive. I've been sending pretty much everything there.

Honestly I'm quite over flakies - if there're only flakies and not something more complex. I had a look at her other flakies like Mermaid etc. and I was so bored! I'm getting a bit jaded!

This is my last week at language school and there'll be finals at the end of the week. I'll be dancing on the table Friday afternoon, because this was/is incredibly hard. We're going home at the end of the month for three weeks, and I can't wait!!! So looking forward to seeing my friends, getting my goodies, eat some bread and cheese and so on.

Oh, and congrats on the divorce!

Hey, girls! Looong time no see!

I've been very busy with work, it starts to slow down a bit, but I'm in charge of - surprise, surprise - a major renovation project! So I have lot of things to do before July and the holidays.

Need to catch up! Hope you're all doing fine.

Plus, I don't know what's with my Insta. When I try to post, it kicks me out!?

Anyways, I also managed to grab that LE EP - it must have lasted seconds! I also got Fairy that I missed out on earlier, and the TC in my cart but I did not bother with that one.

Hey MRV! Missed you! We can do it - July is quite soon!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Ohmygosh, that's so pretty!!!!! Gorgous colour, and I like the shape and length of your nails right now very much!


Did you all see the new ILNP shades? I HAVE to get Interstellar. I didn't manage to snag Neptune, and this looks even better!
I also rather liked the new exclusive FFs, but a higher price and shipping fees? Hell no.

You need to get yourself a FB account! This month's HHC makers are EdM and Chaos & Crocodiles. I've already ordered the EdMs, plus got 10% off the new collection as well.

Thank you. Lol at the fierce sandals.

I think Dragon Egg is flakies and holo in a jelly polish. I like it, but probably could've lived without it. I know what you mean though, just got really excited by the new Darling Divas, but once I looked properly, they were either the same as others I have or just meh.

Yay for the end of term and spending time at home!

Thank you. It doesn't really change anything seeing that we've been living separately for nearly 7 months now, and neither of us wants to get married again, but it's nice to know he doesn't have any rights to me anymore, lol.

Lol, my sandals are children's Skechers sandals and not at all fierce irl. But they are very comfortable, I've had them for years. These are them:



I ordered all 4 of the new FFs, they go to my US postbox, so free shipping, but the $13.50 price is annoying. And some of the new ILNPs look very pretty, I second Interstellar.

Current mani is Models Own Emerald Black with Nails Inc Fernshaw Road on the accents over the MO, but it's actually very opaque. Not the best mani, but I did just spend half an hour scrubbing the area around my cooker and my nails are chipped already, so I'll change it tomorrow. Too tired now to bother. The Nails Inc is more green than blue as well, well it's duochrome, but from that angle it's definitely more green.

 

[Anitacska]

In case anyone didn't get the e-mail, it's the launch of June and July mysteries and restock of Dope Jam, Reign Beau, Disco H2O and 7NA at 6 pm (UK time) today. But she also posted on IG to say maybe a couple of surprise colours. Whether that means the mysteries or not, I don't know, but I'll be keeping an eye on the website.

 

[Anneri]

Wah, I'm so indecisive if I should stay up or not! If I stay I up I bet she just releases some other stupid topcoat or some cremes!

I'm also tired as hell - but I passed my exam, ladies, and am now so proud owner of a certificate that proves that I did the first level Mandarin. From time to time I also manage to understand a word or two in real life.

Well done! That's quite an achievement!

I'm glad it's Saturday instead of Sunday, so I don't have to worry about cooking and feeding my children (they're going to their dad's). But whether it'll be worth waiting for, I don't know. I won't bother if it's creme, shimmer or topper (unless it's really amazing).

Aw, thanks Anneri! I've loved wearing this one.
Hope your finals went well!
I love a few of the ILNPs, but I really need to start cutting back, so many polishes, so few manis! A few may make their way to me mind you!

Pretty mani! I have both of these unworn! I'm surprised the Nails Inc is opaque, I was very disappointed when I looked closely at it, and I definitely had it down as being a topper, because it looked very sheer. I guess I need to re-think!

Oh poo, guess I'll have to look now in case I'm missing something! The last set of shimmers was as unimpressive as the first lot, so I'm glad I've opted out of those. I have all the others except Dope Jam, which somehow doesn't appeal to me (not sure why, but I've skipped it more than once).

Oh congrats, well done you - that must have been really hard work! Sorry, didn't see you'd posted when I answered your earlier message above!

 

[Anitacska]

The new surprise colours are up! Moon Water and Lost Boy.

 

[Anneri]

Meh. Skipped. Going to bed now...

 

[PearlyQueen]

I tried but failed to get either. Tbh, not so fussed, it was that gene again!

 

[Anitacska]

Aah, sorry to hear you didn't get them PearlyQueen. I was lucky enough to get them, I was there at launch time and scored both. Makes a change, lol. Hope the grey one is nicer than it looks. The green is pretty, I like bright greens.

Yay, well done, can I have first refusal on the grey if you don't like it? It was the one I was really trying for!

Lol, you can, but knowing myself, I'll probably keep it, because it's EP. I'll let you know anyway.

lol wouldn't expect anything else!
Still, worth asking just in case!
