Nail Polish Discussion Any Brand- MAC, OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Illamasqua, Butter London, Orly.... - Page 90

Boom chicka wah wah...

I love this topic!  Here's the deal....he was imagining those well manicured nails/hands on him---the lovely color etc was just frosting on the cake 

Right now the RM tracking site says "Your item, posted on 15/01/13 with reference RQ398399486GB was delivered in BOW PDO on 04/02/13. Thank you for using this service." The devil only knows what BOW PDO is. And Illamasqua CS is one big pile of steaming turd!  You should see their FB page. People are going nuts!

re: Cult - hehe. I placed an order for Iconic, Manipulative and My Kind of Kool-Aid first thing this morning. I'm going to place another but I need to decide on which three (I can get 3 max in one order because of customs). I'm currently looking at Crusin Nude, Devious Nature, Deal With It, Power Thief, Happy Ending and Tulum. Hope they stick around until I make up my mind.

Are you getting anything?

Rawr! 

I checked mine again, but no change. My order was shipped two days later though, and they must have a pile.

I already did! I got Flushed, Deal With It and Feelin' Froggy. Can't get more atm, and I have the customs breathing down my neck, too. They cut the limit in half this year! It used to be about 44, but it's down to 22 now. Although nothing has been cought yet. Knockin' on wood !

Buick, I'm jealous you got the 3 MUFE from Black Tango! I've wanted those for so long, but when I found out they weren't coming to the states, I was so sad :( It was a big disappointment, much like the smokey eye palette.

They're a mix of LE and perm. I usually try to get the LE shades first when then come out and then go back and get perm colors in between collections. But lately I've been making impromptu purchases whenever I see older or discontinued shades pop up at Neimans.com or Saks.com. I grabbed 7 colors in that last round because I didn't know if I would have the chance to buy them again. But I'm cutting back in overall makeup purchases, so it balances out.

You're a nut, CC!

Really, don't be. They look super cute in their little bottles but you probably have very similar colours already if you like your blackened vampies

Nice one! Good call re: DCd shades - If you're a collector (which you quite obviously are) snapping them up when the opportunity arises is a great move. Otherwise its skippers remorse and eBay.

Great to have you back btw!

Whoa! You used to have a EUR44 limit for non-EU merchandise? Here it's been 22 for a long time. Gifts are still 45 though.

re: Cult - great picks! I went on a rampage after my last post and placed 2 more orders. So the final damage is:

- Iconic, Manipulative, My Kind of Kool-Aid (order 1)

- Deal With It, I Got Distracted, Captivated (order 2)

- Cruisin Nude, Happy Ending, Tulum (order 3)

I'd happily get some more but I really really really shouldn't

Yep, with the vat rates 22% and 23% the rule was "if the amount of the tax is more than 10 Euros, you have to pay it", but now the taxed limit is just 22+ Euros. And 24% .

Wowza!  You are really stocking up on those Cults (don't forget to post pics!). Not that I can blame you. I did the same thing with BL in January - more than septubled them! Been on a YOLO mood, you know. I really should take a brake but it's difficult: like today I checked the "other" store again and now they had the G Turandot for 30.45 Euros (and the rest of the Liu Collection minus ballz). Suits me just fine!

You should get Feel Me Up from Cult.

Thanks! Work has been getting in the way of my daily Specktra fix. I need to do something about that.

I got my Essies from Beauty.com yesterday. The colors are very pretty. They make me think of candy. I'm hooked. But I'm having an OCD situation. The Essie bottle I got from Ulta has the color label on the bottom of the bottle and there's no white logo on it. Only the glass imprinted logo. The Essies I got from Beauty.com have both a white logo and the glass imprinted logo. The color label is also stuck on the the top of the brush. I like Ulta's packaging better. What's the most current design? I want them to look the same.

I mentioned in the Archie's thread that I got a Nordstrom card yesterday so I can start getting Nordstrom Notes. My spending has increased at that store quite a bit, so I want to start getting something back for my purchases. It'll be great for the buy 2/get 1 free polish hauls. (I'm still holding out hope that another sale will happen this month.) Plus I always see some of you say how you used a note to get free stuff. I know the enabling in this thread is insane, but something may be wrong if the enabling has moved beyond nail polish to iPhones and now store/credit cards. We've created an Enable Monster!

So I get a $20 note if I make $100 purchase on the same day I open the card. Naturally I had to take advantage. I was going to get some stuff from Archie's, but I wasn't able to complete the purchase with my temp card online. I got some Chanel stuff instead by calling the store. Do you see where I'm going with this? I finally got Black Satin and Vamp nail polishes, and the Prelude quad. Those have been on my to-buy list forever.

Dollars to donuts you will  

ChG When Stars Collide swatch on The Cheryl Flavour:

http://thecherylflavour.blogspot.sg/2013/01/swatch-china-glaze-when-stars-collide.html

She has swatches of the other NPs in the Hologlam collection too (links at the end of the post).

I'm underwhelmed by this collection . I was hoping for another DV8 but it wasn't to be. 

This is kind of off topic, but not.  I had a first date with a guy the other night and wore Zoya's Aurora from their Ornate collection.  That collection has been my favorite of any in a long time!  The complexity of the hologlitter looks almost 3-D.  Anyway, he noticed the color on my nails and took my hands... to look at the color more closely ... and he was entranced!  Held my hands for a while, too!  Just goes to show that Steve Harvey is right:  men DO notice painted hands and feet and like it!  I so want for Zoya to do an extension of the Ornate collection with more colors!

Ladies, I went to the Archie's Girls event tonight.  I tried to take pic w/my iPhone & iPad but both were disabled!  When I go out of the event I was able to snap away.  How about them apples!

I only got two NPs from the collection.

omg i have missed soo much. well i just went to walgreens and got essie butler please finally. @ cartoon chic. - the essie i just got has the sticker and the name on top but the one i got wheres my chauffeur? doesnt. i also got some at tjmaxx like months ago and they dont have stickers. i see that the essies i have picked up at the drugstores are with stickers like 3 from cvs on sale and turquiose and caicos plus BP at Walgreens. i have no idea which one is the new design. 

i want beauty.com to have a sale or something so i can get all the other essies i want :( 

have you guys seen the new pics for the orly polishes!? im soo sad why why why would they change them. i think the new packaging looks cheap. idk 

** wearing zoya pippa- i love it. way way better by itself than on a white base like neons. 

Yay Yay Yay---so glad you got Prelude!!!!  I love Nordies too.  How do you like your iPhone?  You must download Shazam--it's free.  I can tell you're not a tech virgin--in fact, you're quite good with this stuff, so have at it CC.  BTW---you're a damn FUN monster !  Oh, and I have Essie bottles in both iterations and never understood why.  Have you visited their web site? Go there with caution!

Nope!  LOL   all I need to do is go over to CC's house.  She could give me one from each row and wouldn't even miss them.  ;-)    

really?  didn't know that.   ~still not going to get hooked~ Nope, not gonna do it. LOL   but these holographic polishes are pulling me in...   That collex was beautiful.  I want the black, red, and purple.  

Ok ladies...  give me a list of brands to start researching. 

chanel

dior

YSL

Zoya

Butter London

China Glaze 

Essie 

OPI

Nordies does this?  
I usually buy all of my Makeup from Nordies b/c of those points.  I made it to level 3 and felt bad.  That means I've spent a lot of money on makeup.  SMH...  LOL   It's so sad...

....this is an adorable color, honey on boost

It's the same "other" department store from where I got G Ballz, Chanel Excessive, and the EL & Chanel NPs earlier this year, and now the Dior&Chanel 30-70% off.

TY! I was actually wearing the palette today with Hot Chocolate. I liked it! It has a nice sheen to it. I was a little afraid that it would be too red for me, but it was ok.

Oh, this is a lovely colour. Now I have to avoid the YSL stands!

This was an awesome choice!

Beautiful! I didn't think I would like the larger brush at first, but I love it. I plan to get Bronze Pyrite and Premiere Neige top coat next. I wish the color wee at Sephora so I could get a discount. Isn't Sephora having some sort of sale in April? Does anyone know what it is?

Lovely polishes MRV, and a great deal!

Glad you got your A-Englands, linaino. You'll get yours soon Medgal.

Isn't Jade Imperial just the best ever!  It looks really good on you.  CC and I were wondering why we haven't been more attentive to YSL.   

I think that will change very quickly.

Nope. None what so ever.

I have not been able make up my mind about the OPI Euro Centrale. Budapest & Czechbook? I'm starting to have déjà-vus... I think I'll wait until I can see them IRL.

BUT Cult is having a sale!

awesome haul! Aren't the quads adorable?

Thank you! :))

How cute.. It's funny how guys like nail polish. They always compare it to car colors lol

Thank you! So do I.. I don't need another favorite high end polish brand on my list.

I really like the brush because it reminds me of the Dior brush.  Shows how much I know I always thought sephora carried them. Or do they only get limited colors? I remember seeing them in Sephora in Paris but they also sell Chanel.

I'm going to see the Euro Centrale this weekend.. I hope I don't like everything.
