Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[CartoonChic]

I just got back from my local JC Penny Sephora. Epic fail. I was told that they only had 5 of the Illamasqua colors on sale and that they were already sold out. I asked her to price check one of the colors on Honey's list and it rang up a full price. Then I went to Ulta which is only across the street. I wanted to pick up another green polish that I saw when I got Going Incognito on Saturday. It was Pretty Edgy and it was sold out. In fact, a bunch of the Essie polishes I saw a few days ago were wiped out. I was so disappointed. I came back empty handed.

Awwwww the power of suggestion

Lol, I know. I guess I'm too impressionable. I'm curious to see your new goodies that were delivered and your ninja haul. I also don't know how I missed your Neely mani. Gorgeous.

Awwwww the power of suggestion

Heh, I brought it upon myself, didn't I?

No worries CC, I asked and am glad to receive honest answers!

I showed the mani to my bf when he came home and may have mentioned the word 'mould' and he just said "Halloween?"
So now at least I have already an inspiration for that.

But anyway, I've to don my yellow domestic goddess gloves tomorrow and clean the apartment, and that will be the natural end of this mani, I guess.

CC, that's just so sad. That's how I felt after my AE news. I was forced to lick my wounds with an alternative haul---couldn't shake that feeling of emptiness. That said, a stranger out side of this thread would think we were discussing the loss of a mate or something!

I still like it

I will not be swayed

I'm suffering from np overload. And so many pretty manis!
CC, such happy colours! Just great.
Medgal, love how Neely complements your skintone! Lovely!
Slimmycakes, love your colour choices! Those two really compliment each other. Bummer about the application tho.

I did a mani with one of the new Catrice polishes and a silver crackle. The Catrice is purple (though my camera doesn't want to show it as purple) and was a b§$%!&h to apply. The silver crackle was more difficult to apply than the mint one and I'm on the whole not so sure about the whole thing. Looks a bit like some fungus growing on my nails? So help me out with this, ladies: yay or nay?





I'm so jealous of all those great deals you ladies have in the US! Enjoy and remember: YOLO!

Yay to the purple and nay to the crackle. But then again I'm anti crackle so my opinion may not count lol

I have pictures and swatches of the new China Glaze holo polishes, all 12! The dark blue one is the broken one, that's why there's polish on another bottle too. Sadly it's one of the prettiest shade as well. Ho hum, I'm sure I'll get a replacement one soon (although I haven't heard back from Nail Polish Direct yet). I thought they didn't look very holo in some pictures I'd seen, but they are actually pretty decent. The pictures were taken in full early afternoon sunshine.








I'm wearing Color Club Cherubic on my nails for comparison.






I'll have a more detailed post on my blog later today.

Oh no! That sucks. Maybe I should call mine before I go.

[CartoonChic]

Those China Glaze holos are mesmerizing!

Oh no! That sucks. Maybe I should call mine before I go.

I would call. Please post what they say.


Those new sparkly Diors are showing up on Sephora.com, but they're not in stock yet. They're showing as $25. They are on Saks.com for $24. They were still preorder just yesterday, but now they're normal sale. One of the colors is already gone.

I still need to fill my polish void after my earlier failed attempts. I'm trying to decide between the Diors or the Butter Londons.

My current mani. Butter London Sprog..

 

[MRV]

Oh! They are looking better than we thought. What shades do you recommend color and holo wise?


Finally I got some Spring Butters! Above: Jasper, Kerfuffle, and Molly-Coddled. I wanted Fiver but they didn't have it, so I got Kerfuffle instead. Below: I also got Bumster (looking really brownish next to Jasper, both yellows!) and Primrose Hill Picnic which my mother brought from a trip.

Need this too!

 

[CartoonChic]

Nice! Squatter is an intense springy green. I have to wear it in March!

You should have said crackled ice!


Glad you'll get at least your money back. (and what are those Chanels & Diors?)

nice haul, i dont have any of those so i cant wait to see your pics and thought on them.

 

[Anitacska]

My personal favourites would be Infra Red, When Stars Collide (3rd and 4th from the left in the swatch pictures, the bright pink and burgundy coloured ones), Take A Trek, Strap On Your Moonboots and Galactic Gray (9th, 10th and 11th, medium blue, dark blue and dark grey ones). I like the lighter ones as well, but to me the darker ones are prettier.

I've written up my post now, the link is in my signature.

Wowza.

I just ordered Sprog....so glad I did.

It look awesome on you HOB!

I couldn't let it go and made a trip out to my Nordstom to get the Butter London polishes. I know I could've ordered them online, but I wanted to use my Nordstrom card to get the points. (I'm also trying to qualify for the Holiday party at the end of year.) I still only have my temp card because of a mix up with my address, and I can only use the temp card in store. It doesn't work online or over the phone.

Side note - I explained to my friend why I wanted to go to the store instead of ordering online. His response was, "So you're basically shopping so you can go to a party to do more shopping?" I'm like, "Yeah. You get 10 points when you normally only get 2!" I was met with a confused, blank stare.

Here's my Butter London haul:
Fiver
Kerfuffle
Molly Coddled
Slapper
Macbeth
Snog

I finally have Slapper and Macbeth. I really wanted Trout Pout, but they were sold out. I got Snog instead, but now I'm thinking I should've gotten Fruit Machine instead. I do plan to get the rest of the spring colors later. Lol, maybe like tomorrow while the sale is still going on. I can't resist a deal.
