Essie has a very special place in my heart.  Which ones are on your list?

I change my NP quite frequently and I prefer pure acetone.  I've never noticed any issues.  I'll have to see, however because I'm using more glitter NPs and it takes much more product to get it off.

I didn't realize so many people were hanging out in this thread! 

 

When it comes to nail polish, I'm a big fan of China Glaze, now even more than ever - they've really been stepping it up and doing much more rich and unusual colors since last year in particular. Really giving the high end brands a run for their money. 

 

Anyhow I'm all excited because I just found out about their summer collection that features neon jellies!!! Those are going to be ridiculous.

 

http://www.everything2k.com/2012/10/china-glaze-neons-on-shore-collection.html

 

I'm going to wind up getting the sets, because there are literally only 2 colors in the whole thing I'm not crazy about. 

 

I can't wait for the holographic collection either!

 

I'm sure a bunch of you bought plenty from On Safari and New Bohemian. Which ones did you wear the most? For me, it was a tie between Man Hunt (the rich blue from Safari) and Deviantly Daring (the blue/emerald from Boho), followed by Elephant Walk, and I also had Adventure Red-y on a lot more than expected. I kept wanting to wear Desert Sun, but usually grabbed something else because I always wanted LOUDER!

I got an iphone just so i can get the Juicy Couture cases and the Victorias secret PINK ones lol. My brother was like " you are NOT getting a phone just for the cases?!? i told him uh ya....lol i am! i have around 10.

 

Still waiting for my A englands!!! =( im all the way in CALI tho so i know it will take awhile.

 

Im wearing the purple opi sand poilish its so pretty! i  love all of the ones i have tried, (blue, black, and purple) i dont know which one i will end up with a full bottle of yet.

 

I need to try a Zoya pixie polish cuz it seems like the opi sand ones and i like it, so.... lol

 

I heard Victorias Secre twas coming out with a polish line, i dunno when it comes out tho.

by the way i recommend you the non acetone remover from sallys i like it alot. it removes polish ok. 


LOL! Now I know I've been inhaling too many fumes. I thought for sure Remove+ was a non-acetone remover. Thanks for setting me straight. bangin.gif

I'm slightly disappointed about the lack of airbourne plastic cups though. Surely they are the life and soul of any social gathering?

 

I have no idea if we have events here. I'll ask the peeps at the counter when I go to Rotterdam on Friday. I don't think counters do events though. It's probably stores only. Whatever, I'll ask anyway lol.gif

That's an interesting issue that you raise...I've never seen events like this at MAC counters, unless it's a store-exclusive product...like MAC Illustrated that was a Nordstrom exclusive.   icon_eek.gif

wavey.gifHi There Liba!  You just got here and you're already enabling!!  I LOVE YOU!  I don't think I have anything from On Safari/New Bohemian.  These folks have FORCED me into some new brands like A England, and I'm loving it.  I suspect I have some catching up to do.  I have some of the prior China Glaze sets...I think a holiday one and a spring & summer set.  I don't always like every color in the sets but usually it's no more than one, so it's worth the purchase.

Oh I love it.  How on earth did you find that?  I'm getting one for my iPhone. I have a boring clear cover.  My hubby will die--he already thinks I've gone of the way deep end--not just the deep end, but the way deep end.

In other news, my OPIs arrived finally. Already did a mani with one of the liquid sands - strange but fun and different.

Would like to see strange but fun and different!    grouphug2.gif

I do that all the time! Except for the iphone 5 there were no phone cases out for a while.

That's correct!  I was nervous while waiting to get an accurately sized case for my iPhone 5.  Totally afraid I'd do something to destroy it!    icon_eek.gif

Too much time on teh interwebs... tumbleweed.gif

 

 

HI LIBA! th_partytime.gif Nice to see you in here!

And no doubt I'll end up with both the mint and turquoise CGs from the link you posted. Though I'm not as bad with mint polishes as kimibos! lol

For reasons now unknown to me, I skipped both the Safari and Bohemian editions. Strange. I'll pop over to my usual stores and see if its still there, because I remember that I liked the Safari one a lot!

I recently tried the foil method for the first time and I used non-acetone.  Worked just fine.

Here's another video that uses little nail soak containers instead of foil.

I'm not sure about using pure acetone, though. I don't think my nails could handle it.

You know, I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one. I don't need a smartphone at all (my old faithful Nokia is still going strong) and I very rarely get the urge to buy one but that NP case is just too much!

I thought it would be too yellow for my skin tone and wouldn't look right. I was so wrong. It's a very pretty sheer gold. I still had on my messed up Lady Muck mani and layered Gold Fingers over it. It made me think of Versailles. I'm going to do a real manicure with that combination soon. Inattendu and Quartz are also colors I thought I wouldn't like. Quartz is like a nude color on me but with something special. I think it's because of the shimmer in it. I was expecting Inattendu to be an ugly beige that would clash with my skin tone, but it's really a pretty peach. Beige Petal is basically a clear polish, but I knew that when I purchased it.

 

Has anyone in the US received their A-England orders yet? I know the shipping will be longer and that Adina is also behind because of the surge during the sale. I'm just trying to judge how much longer the wait will be. I'm so impatient and excited for these polishes!

I haven't received mine yet either.

lolz.gif  I was a tad skeptical initially because I thought it would get dirty from handling and makeup...not so.  I use an earpiece and never hold it against my face/ear.

You can wipe it if it gets a bit grubby right? And surely every iPhone deserves a bit of lippie on it every now and again? I reckon Moxie or any of the MM reds would look most fetching on a white iPhone.

My wait is partially over--the last three of my Butter London Sweetie Shop collection arrived today.  Makes me long for spring even more--especially since it's going down to 5 degrees tonight.  May the pastels warm me!!

Wow....I love all these polishes, Medgal!

 

It is very cold here too and I should use my pastels to warm me as well.

Illamasqua is coming out with a 'speckled' np too. Didn't know that before, I thought DL would be the first to release them. Did anyone get their Raindrops polish this time around? I wanted to, but those dratted shipping fees got in the way. US ladies, can you get Illamasqua in store? And if yes, where?

 

Here is the new collection with pics of the nps: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/01/illamasqua-imperfection.html
