Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

To me they look like little bits of hair (of the non-head variety). I love glitter polishes but I simply can't like bar glitter because I can't get over that imagery!

I think I need help

I received Tutu yesterday (along with the Rose Charmeuse Quint).Actually, I thought I' d be done with this collection.
But seeing the pretty mani with Gris Trianon makes me debating on getting this one too.

I can't wait to get my first Diors next month. I'm planning to get all three colors from the Cherie Bow collection.

Buick, that poor cat!

There hasn't been much mention of YSL polishes in this thread. I only have one, Violet Baroque. I was going to exchange it because I thought it was too similar to Chanel Provocation, but decided to keep it. I like the larger brush and the formula. Now I have Jade Impériale from the Arty Stone collection (such a weird name) on the way. I'm going to get Bronze Pyrite from the same collection next month. That one is LE. They have more colors I'd like to get.

Does anyone else like YSL polish?

I do only have 4 YSL polishes and I really like them.They are all easy to apply and stay on my nails several days without chipping.

I haven't tried YSL anything yet, but may change lol some of the lipsticks look so pretty! and I eyed that Jade polish for awhile but never got it. post a pic when u wear it... ;) sadly I think I'm going to skip the Archie's np. I really Wanted Betty's coral and Veronica's berry np but I want the other items more. if the np is available after I get paid on the 20th I will get them. I gotta have one for each girl lol so hopefully I will be able to order them. I saw some promos for the new illamasqua speckles they look pretty cool. I want the purple (of course!!!) and the green it reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream ( my fav). but I'm not sure cuz u like the DL green one too.... I know I don't need both! well.... maybe I do if one is more green and the other is more teal.... lol

I remember when you all started this thread.... 73 pages already? Y'all don't waste time!! LOL

I'm sooo drooling over the polishes I've seen on the last few pages... Like I said, I don't wear polish, or change it on my own... but I'm so tempted...

~runs and hides~

Okay, but don't judge. I did this on a whim and the pic isn't that great because you can see light reflecting in some of the nails. I was so excited that I snapped it as soon as they were dry enough, paying very little attention to photographic technique and detail. Here goes

Alright, I'm in.(medgal's pastel butters did it) What are your favorite tools I'll need to get started. You know cuticle cream, gel, clippers, file, base coat, top coat, strengtheners and etc...

Also, what are some of the brand names acronyms. I'm guessing DL is Deborah Lippman. What is BL? Is A England a brand?

No, it's another one. Although, I'm hovering at Stockmann hearly every day for Mac and other food.

I wish I could limit, but I have some things on my list until I can go back to more occational buys.


Today I'm wearing Heroine on lips and Nubar Pasadena Purple on nails. It's the bomb! My favourite purple shade. I can't believe I kept this one in the bottle for years. Mac cannot top this!


(Sorry, the top coat messed up the edges.)

And yes, if you don't have Reclaim yet, you need it!!! CC, look at this!




I'm going to get at least one Betty polish, and BB's mint and periwinkle are on my mind, too!
OHhhhh can I still get those colors?

Can you do that with cats? I've seen some dogs with dyed fur but doing the same with a cat might prove dangerous. Most cats I know would claw your eyes out!

edit - actually, there was a news story several years ago about woman who dyed her cat pink. The poor thing doesn't look too chuffed about its new fur-do.

OT but...

Sure you can. As long as you take your cat to a creative groomer who specializes in color and uses a safe way to dye pets. Those colors are usually odorless and non-toxic (hair dye for humans should not be used on pets!). It's really imperative to use colors that are safe for pets as they obviously lick their fur and nails.

I'm not a cat person, so I don't have any personal experience with them, but my puppy usually gets a new color (and nail design) once a month. Occasionally, I see a cat get a new hair do/dye there as well. It's fun and my puppy loves the attention he gets when I take him for a walk. :)

I have been into Dior for only a few years and do only have the "new style quints".

Thank you for the description and the link, Buick.That is very interesting

You're not the only one. I remember some very angry cat lovers saying all sorts of nice things about the owner when the story came out. It didn't explode as much as the cat bin lady story though, probably because there wasn't footage of it actually happening.


I only have an old one called Mystic Wine (nr.28). It's a very nice red but nothing you can't find a much cheaper dupe for. I haven't worn it for a very long time but I the application and longevity was pretty much on par with the likes of ChG and OPI IIRC.


I really liked that format. They palettes were a bit skinnier and I liked how they sort of rounded towards the edges. There was an even older format, like so: http://www.makeupalley.com/account/pic.asp/f=2264391

Way to show my age!

I love the colour on the first cat!

The groomers probably have to be experts at dealing with disgruntled cats too. They can get quite vicious. By which I mean the cats. Dunno about the groomers.

Of course your puppy likes post-groomer walkies! He wants to show off
lol.gif
. What colours has he tried so far?
