Nail Polish Discussion Any Brand- MAC, OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Illamasqua, Butter London, Orly.... - Page 13

       YES. i just love how all hail the queen looks! you got an awesome friend too.

         oh dear i have to take the blame for all 3. cause i have been talking about them like crazy!. nice haul.

I think I know what this means.

How do you do your dry manicure?

im getting all my BL and DL polishes tomorrow!! im impressed nordstroms shipping usually takes a whole week. 

I blame the both of you for the purchases I just made. I take no responsibility. How can I possibly ignore an $18 polish for only $8?

• 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. 

LOL.  At the rate that I'm going I'll need a third wall rack for my nail polish!    

These are all really pretty!  I LOVE the glitter polishes but I find it hard to remove.  Do you have any secrets or tips for removing glitter polishes?

Oh another thing before I forget. Nordstrom constantly has sales on polish where there is a buy two get one free. I usually get my Deborah Lippmann or Butter London ones during this time. I will be sure to post the next time I hear about it coming back. For the ladies that into Butter London please please check out Fiddlesticks. It's a fuchsia glitter polish that's right on trend for the season. I bought mine when I grabbed Jack the Lad last month.

Elbow grease!

And a nail polish remover that isn't particularly gentle (the nourishing, conditioning etc. ones don't cut it). I know some people who like to use pure acetone but my fingers would drop off if I did the same. I just soak a cotton pad with remover, keep it on the nail for about 30 seconds and then start rubbing off the polish in circular movements. I find that it helps if there's something to look at on the telly or on the computer screen because it.... goes....on.....for.... a.....bit. Youtube comments are suitably mind numbing.

There's a method where people put remover soaked cotton pads on each nail, cover the fingertips with tinfoil and re-enact scenes from Nightmare on Elm Street for about 10 minutes. Having been drenched in remover, the glitter polish is removed in one swipe! Allegedly. Never tried it myself. Not a Freddy Kruger fan.

Just ordered Cleopatra in NY from Nelly.com. It was the only place I could find it (not counting the US-based outlets, obviously) and they had free shipping so I thought what the hell. AFAIK it's LE, and I'd be gutted if I missed it.

Job done. Hehe.

WHAT!? I have to pay 4 Euros for shipping within Scandinavia and they send to Central Europe for free??? Hallå!!! Eleven.se has a better selection of DL but their shipping is just insane considering. I think I'm going to have to order the Mermaid before it's gone. I've been waiting for a long time.

FYI,

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

It's so pretty! Mine should be here today can't wait to try it out. Too bad I just did a FULL mani yesterday with A Englands new polish :(

Which one? Holy Grail v2 or Beauty Never Dies?

Both are on my wishlist but I'm in no rush because they're perm.

Oh no! I'm off to look for some DL's!

If you like chunky, multicoloured glitters (aka psychedelic clown pukes) check out Candy Shop, Forget You and Let's Go Crazy

Gonna have to check those out! I love them but I hate the removal. I'm making a list now for my Lynnderella order on Friday

Beauty Never dies.. I received both in a Secret Santa exchange they are BEAUTIFUL!! I'm thinking of ordering Ophelia and Camelot since they are on sale right now and the free shipping is always nice.

Noone in a healthy state of mind would refuse a Deborah Lippmann polish for 8 quid. It would be churlish, rude and most antisocial. Those who do not buy Deborah Lippmann polishes for 8 quid when they've been given the chance to do so pose a serious danger to society and ought to be locked up.

Cleopatra & Zulu sounds like a winning combination btw!

Very similar to the dry pedicure but with products to treat the cuticles (especially in the winter) because I don't like to cut them.  I don't mind the pushing of the cuticles, but cutting is too risky.  I use softening creams and heat treatments for the hands, then prep the nails with alcohol before application of a base coat, two coats of polish and a drying top coat.

With all of this new nail polish I'll be doing polish changes between full manicures.  I just love the stuff!!!

Can someone recommend me a nice vampy red (creme)? Preferably High End, or brands that I can order online, like CG, Color Club, etc (not a fan of OPI, Essie). I know there are tons of these kind of shades out there, but I want one with a perfect formula. 

Your question made me realise that I have no vampy red cremes

The CG one looks really nice! Maybe a little darker than what I was looking for, but I really like it.

Jessica Cinnamon Kiss is amazing by the way, it's so rich and deep. Might also be similar to Malice, just a bit more of a warmer tone to it maybe. But the formula is divine. 

Oh, and don't google ''jessica double dip'' if safe search is off.
