I'm just going to wait for the Nordstrom Black Friday deal. I do plan to pick up more BL at Ulta when they have a sale or when I get the special coupons that can be applied.

    i want to try some drops too but now i dont know. i luv seche, (which by the way i cant find right now). buick do you use seche?? or another brand?

I'm probably in the minority here though. I'm sure you'll be just fine :)

       how do you like the butter london topcoat?? is it fast drying as seche but less thick?? ill try the drops from drugstore.com thanks.

Really? That's strange my nails dry quicker than the fast dry top coat alone and they always shine the same as without. Which drops did you try?

I found this on the Internet, THE perfect manicure.....

All Hail The Queen (kimibos enable)

 

BuickMackane has also enabled me with Deborah Lippmann. I'm lemming Mermaid's Dream and Cleopatra in New York. I have a Beauty.com coupon burning a hole in my pocket. Now I know what to use it on.

I recall Tom Bachik mentioning a dry manicure in the BellaSugar video. I was happy that I actually already know and practice a lot of the tips that he says in the video. It seems that mainly my polishing technique is outdated. However, I think I'm also going to start doing dry mani/pedis. Does anyone else do dry mani/pedis and how do you like them? Do you see a difference?

                                    All Hail the Queen (Beige) (kimibos enable)

                                    Black Knight, The (Black with Glitter)

                                    Come to Bed Red (Sexy Red) (Someone on this thread enable)

                                    Cream Tea (Pale Cream)

                                    Jack the Lad (Moss Green w/Shimmer)

                                    Knackered (Blue Oyster Sparkle)

                                    Scuppered (Copper Shimmer)

                                    Trout Pout (Cantaloupe)

                                    Wallis (Metallic Olive Gold) (Someone on this thread enable)

 

There's an awful lot of enabling on this site & thread.  I totally LOVE it.  

 

I have a NP wish list, which heretofore did not exist.  I left my doctor appointment this afternoon and executed a celebratory nail polish haul at Rite Aid that continued online at Ulta.  Mind you, I don't need much convincing.  The cliff was there...and I jumped...rather, I leaped....head first.

Job done. Hehe.

It really should be permanent though. The Lippmann chunky glitters are the bees knees!

www.HSN.com is offering free shipping and $10 off your first purchase of that site!! No minimum purchase.

I FINALLY scored a Deborah Lippman nail polish for only $8!

 

Code is 126362 for anyone wondering and goes till Dec. 31 I believe

HSN

• Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream (everybody enable)

 

Beauty.com

• Deborah Lippmann Cleopatra in New York (BuickMackane enable)
• NARS Zulu
• Butter London Fishwife (kimibos enable)
• Butter London No More Waity Katie
• Butter London Jaffa

 

 

I got an email from Beauty.com with a new discount right after I read BuickMackane's post saying Cleopatra in New York is LE. Then they got Fishwife back in stock today. It was all over after that. Too many things aligned for me not to place an order. I also took the opportunity to get No More Waity Katie since I can't find it at Nordstrom, Ulta or Sephora, and I only see Jaffa at Nordstrom. I've wanted NARS Zulu since I learned about the color and plan to layer Cleopatra in NY over it.

 

I'm not even going to bother saying I'm done after that haul because we all know that probably isn't true.
