Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[CartoonChic]

Hey ladies! I missed everyone. You all have been busy!
It's too much to respond to individually, but I love all of the manis and hauls. Good to hear that your procedure went well kimibos. I'm so happy that you enjoyed your special day Med.

Life has kept me busy. I'm on the hunt for a new job. I still have pics of some previous hauls and manis to post. Amazingly, I haven't hauled any new polish since the Dior Nordstrom Sparkling Set from last week. I didn't even order from the Femme Fatale restock last week. That's all going to change this week, though. I have some hauls in my future.

Dominique!

good luck with your job hunt cartoon chickabowow

Thanks!

I'm looking to transition into a new position within the same industry. In the meantime, I'm thinking about starting a little side job. I want to offer a personal shopper service for LE and hard to find nail polish and beauty items. I've been thinking about the idea for months, but seeing what's happened with the last Enchanted Polish restock and the Disney Ariel collection at Sephora has made me see that there could be a real need for the service.

Lol! I just got what you did with my name. I thought it was a typo at first.

It should have been chickachickabowow but I brain froze Put me down for gondola and kaleidoscope please. That is the awesome wine and holographic silver right?

 

[MACina]

Wow, that is cool

And both polishes look very pretty

Odd things happen. Yesterday I received a package from Llarowe, and one of the polishes was Bubble Time by Darling Diva. I remember looking at the polishes and wondering a bit but did not check anything. Then today I receive a package from Darling Diva

. I was thinking no, no, I have not ordered anything from them, did not push the button on their page?? The package contained a Bubble Time polish, a mini holo TC (Seduction), a pack of bubblegum, and a card saying "sorry, the BT you received is defected". Looks like the polish I received yesterday has a light blue base, and it should be white. I think I'm bubbled over now!

I don't know. Looks like some can disappear quite fast, like Chocoholic. It was available only once at Llarowe (did not get it of course) and it's marked as discontinued on FF's page and from the same Easter collection as Spring Fling!

has anyone seen a review on the Ariel polishes yet? lol

....awesome haul, honey on boost

My recent haul, a sweet friend offered to CP a few kikos for me. Excited to try the Sugar ones.

kimibos, I am so glad that your colonoscopy was good so far....not happy about your sigmoid and the flaring up
colitis, though

Hopefully it is not too painful

And fingers crossed that you won' t need cortisone!


OMG....yes, I know this feeling!
Every time I come out of the hospital I feel like I need a little haul

Hi girls! i just got home couple of hours ago. the colonoscopy was good. everything went as planned and i got a 6 out 9 in the prep.
i have no polyps, no internal hemorroids, and no ulcers! (as of now)

it turns out my colitis is kind of silently flaring up. my sigmoid colon is the only thing looking pretty bad right now.
i havent talked with my doc. but the recommendations int the paper say to continue my current MTX shot and that we'll talk about a change or an escalation in medication.
that sounds good to me.

i cant say im happy. i didnt expect it to be my colitis. i actually have no regular colitis symptoms. so i guess i got different ones in this flare. so yeah overall i feel good but huh my sigmoid doesnt! LOL

im very dissapointed, but ill do my nails in a sec.
i feel like going to Walgreens and get a polish fix. but i came out of the hospital looking like i needed to be admitted into rehab asap.

too much anesthesia and hunger!!!!

If your'e on the hunt for a new job, well good luck !!! Fingers crossed !

Some hauls in the future ? GREAT !

 

[MACerette]

Kimibos, I hope you'll feel better soon. :bouquet: CartoonChic, that's a wonderful idea, good luck! :winkiss: Yesterday I scored A Unicorn Farted In My Polish from Dollish Polish. I limited myself to that one, because we had some repairs done to the car which added up and some other expenses, so I try to be good, for now....

I fooled around with the Nordstrom Dior Sparkling Set last night.

The packing is very sophisticated and classy. The set comes in a black box. It really is a numbered limited edition set. A slip of paper is included with your number, and the directions for use are printed on the other side. I have number 4404. It doesn't say out of how many made. The Fixing base is a full size bottle and the powder bottles are minis.

I haven't had any prior experience with caviar manis, so this was my first attempt. The powders are basically fine dust. I made such a mess. I used the gold powder first without anything underneath to catch fall out. I tried picking up the excess to put back in the bottle. That was a futile attempt. I tried the black powder next. This time I applied the powder over a a sheet of paper. I used the paper to try to funnel the excess powder back into the bottle and still failed. I used sticky tape to clean up the mess. The powders have a "brush" that's more like a brush without the bristles. It just seemed like the hard stick part of the brush to me.

It was messy and somewhat of a hassle to do, but I will say that the effect is stunning. The powder has this celebrity-esque, diva like sparkle, especially in the light. Think of a sequined dress with a spotlight shining on it. The sparkle is insane. After being hypnotized by the sparkle, I became concerned that the powder would rub off in my sleep. It's basically a fine dust. I then applied a top coat to try to fix the dust in place. That ruined it. The sparkle vanished. The black powder now looks semi matte and grainy. I can also see my nail showing through the powder after applying the top coat.

This set is good if you want a really dazzling mani, but expect to only wear it for a night out. I don't think it will last the next day after going to sleep. I kept tapping my finger nails with my finger tip before applying the top coat, and powder always transferred off the nail. I'll post pics later.

I'm still going to keep the set. You all know I'm a sucker for LE things. I'll use it for special occasion manis, even if that special occasion could be me just going out to buy a fancy donut. Lol, wait. That's probably not a good idea. The sparkling powder may mix with the donut powder while I'm eating it.

I'm sorry to hear the Dior Sparkling Set is such a hassle to apply and that the powder keeps transferring

That would really annoy me as well. But when i read how you describe the effect i'm still very curious to see a pic, it really sounds stunning

I took a bunch of pics for everyone. I'm a little exhausted, so I probably won't upload until later tonight. I need a break.

By the way, did anyone order Enchanteds from Mei's Meis today? I ordered 5 polishes. The 3 remaining Love-A-Lot of Glitters, Shrimp Cocktail, and Up In Smoke. One of my polishes oversold. I was worried it was Up In Smoke, but it was Shrimp Cocktail. Whew! I do want Shrimp Cocktail, but I have a feeling I still may be able to get that color later.
