Nice! TK Maxx is my downfall, I can't not go in if I'm out shopping and always pick up some nail polish (and occasionally some make up). I've bought so much there, including about 3 or 4 Color Club sets, loads of Nails Inc, OPI, just recently even found some Orly polishes! Gotta love it! :)


Where did you get Paradise from? I've been wanting to get it from Llarowe, but it's always sold out, also on Sally Magpies. :( It's so gorgeous!


Bad day for me today, ended up ordering 10 holo polishes from Etsy (2 different sellers). Must. Stop. Buying. Nail. Polish.

i get you.
10 Holos------that's awesome Anitacska. You're gaining olympic status here! Look, when we're all broke and can't buy anything we'll just sit and use all of this damn nail polish we've been buying---that's not so bad is it?

I love all of them but I have to say that Paradise is one of the most beautiful polishes I've ever laid eyes on. I haven't seen anything like it. Oh, and Majesty looks kinda meh in these pics but it's anything but.

Mallard and Cosmos were out of stock when these pretties were sent to me but they will be shipped early next week. Wooohooo!

They're quite unique---even the one with the cap that Buick chewed

Hehe. I don't just wear nail polish darling. I live and breathe nail polish. And eat the bottle caps.

In my defence, the bloody thing got stuck and the Color Cubes' design doesn't allow one to grip and twist the bottle caps properly. I will hold my hand up and admit having tried opening it with my teeth. But then I figured no nail polish in the world is worth damaging ones gnashers. So I had to use a small pair of pliers to open it. And this, dear reader, is the story of the chewed up cap.


Kimibos, here are some pics of the four PPs I posted earlier. Christ on a bike, they were a pain to photograph! There are plenty of very good swatches around, so if you're interested in Paradise they'll give you a much better idea of how it looks on the nail. This goes for the other shades too.

First up, lousy lighting, no flash. This one's not colour accurate, but shows the different coloured glitter and the slight duochrome in Paradise quite well. The flakies in Pshiiiit are kind of visible too.



Not as lousy lighting, no flash. This one's pretty colour accurate.



And with flash:

The tragedy was that I really, really liked Jack the Lad and had to remove it because it was wearing off.

I'll wear it again sometime if I ever make it through all of the NP that I've not yet worn!

LOvely newbies Buick. I like the names(especially the second one)---did you have any part in that?

Can't wait to see your manis using these!
Jack the Lad has a loooooong wait ahead of him

I got it from Prettypolish.nl. They do ship outside the NL and Belgium but you'd need to e-mail them for a shipping quote (at least that's what they say on the website). They restocked some PPs yesterday and Paradise is one of them :)

I hope Sally Magpies starts shipping overseas again. I want some Cirques (by which I mean quite a few Cirques) and it'll be so much more convenient to get the lot from her instead of placing god knows how many smaller orders from Cirque's own website in order to avoid customs.

OK, one more pic post before I call it a night.

I've been seeing a line of polishes called Only You at ICIParisXL for quite some time now. As far as I know it's their own brand NP (fellow Dutchies, please correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, they'd never been on my radar until last week when I dropped by ICIParisXL to see if EL Absinthe was in yet (no it wasn't). They were EUR10 for 3 bottles so I thought I might give them a shot. Turns out they're quite allright. More than quite allright, actually. They're pretty damn good!

Free & Easy - Mystery Girl - Never on Sunday

So far I only wore Never on Sunday as a full mani. It was a bit on the thick side for my liking, so I'm going to use a few drops of thinner the next time I use it. It lasted 2 days without chipping and probably would have survived 1-2 more days had it not met its maker in the form of a cotton pad doused in remover.

Verdict - Bueno!

Very nice! I love Free And Easy and Mystery Girl :eyelove: And yep, it's their own line of NP. :nods: I haven't tried it out though and I'm trying to stay away from it because I always have the ''gotta catch 'em all'' feeling when I like something, that's why I only want to buy from a few brands (a decision I made about a month ago lol). Oh who am I kidding, I have a €5 voucher so I'll probably try a few. :p

I'm happy to do a CP for you if you like, although we're not supposed to send nail polish abroad, I'm sure can sneak them out for you. ;)
