Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Medgal07]

That was just so sad. That's a sweet way of honoring her Naughtyp!!! I coincidentally applied Fiver to my nails Friday night and was so disappointed. The formula was fine, the color divine, but the polish chipped on every single nail of my right hand. I was astounded and never had this happen to me before. The polish on my middle finger peeled off completely! It was the craziest thing. I had put BL Cotton Buds on my toes and I LOVE it. The formula was a tad thicker, it was opaque with one coat and I love that it's stark white!

Soooo many more colors to go!! lol

I got the E-mail from Enchanted and thought it was an absolutely beautiful gesture!

I guess this is payback for the chanel polish. But now I want all of these!!

I finally tried my MAC Marilyn "Rich,Rich,Rich". It has a very odd feel, almost sand!

 

[Medgal07]

Liz! It's majorly hot here too but I can't stand being in AC for too long....just something about that artificial cold that gets to me. I find myself going outside just to warm up!

Here's another picture that shows the colour better, this was taken with flash:

I haven' t been to the pool for aaaaaaages and have never had nail polishes on when I went there.
So I had no idea that it looks pretty

it does!!! lol. I love seeing my nails under water in the sun tho, I just zone out looking at it lol

Beautiful, Anneri

So I added some glitter to my orly-mani, sure helped Thanks ladies! Has any of you tried the Etude House icecream cone looking nailpolishes? The bottles make me go "NEEEED" but I dont know about the quality.

I have them all. If you go and look at my pics you'll find all but the yellow. The teal was great. Did not like the very light pink that much. The orange one is different, jelly. I think the formula is mostly ok, dries quick (quite possibly not free of anything).

Awesome, found your pics now! The teal looks lovely but that "nude-ish" light one didnt really float my boat! Those bottles are too cute.

Look what i found 

 Last friday i went on a family trip to the Netherlands and i managed to snag all 4 polish from the Glamazona collection, finally! Dirty Liana; I Got The Flower!; I'm A Survivor; Lime Heart Is Beating Like A Jungle Drum

Nice haul! Very summerly.

I got in my pre order for the Enchanted polish. Hope she does a full restock next Sunday! now just waiting to get my hares!

I got the E polish, too. But did not get any Hares. I don't have any urgent must-haves atm. Hope she restocks again.

Boo, specktra just ate my post! Boo! So again my newest mani: Essie's Rock the Boat. Like it very much. Because I don't have a pool (major envy here, Naughtyp!) I opted for a nice bath with loads of bubbles.

Lovely pic! A bubble mani

Lovely mani Anneri! 20 degrees would be so lovely, we had around that yesterday morning and it was so nice! Tomorrow's forecast is 33 degrees. Gulp! This is my mani, Marks & Spencer Rainbow, a pretty, fairly subtle silver holo. I believe it's been discontinued, but to be honest, there are better holos than this, although on the plus side its formula is really good and easy to apply, no bald spots or dragging. The picture below was taken at 8.30 pm in evening sunshine.

Now you remind me to wear holos in the summer. They look the best in the sun!

That's exactly our problem here as well, the walls and the ceiling are very poorly isulated. And the fact that we have a flat roof made of metal isn't helping either of course

I also have been making salads, and i cook hot meals at noon in the weekends. August has not even started yet, when i start to think about that i honestly feel like crying lol.


Yup, free sauna here lol. Atm it's 31°C in the bedroom and in the living room it's even warmer

We can trade if you want, i'd be so happy with 20°C

Oh you poor thing!

I can definitely relate - it's about the same in our flat. But I think soon the worst is over! And in the meantime, try Vichy's or Avene's Eau thermale! Spray in front of a ventilator - heaven!


A bit OT, but is any of you on Instagram? I started recently and am totally addicted already lol. Would love to follow anyone from here!

Wow, that is an awesome idea, Anneri

Ugh it's 31°C outside but my bedroom is the hottest room in the house, it's gotta be at least 35° in my room. :sigh: No AC, no ventilator.. And our shower gets fixed this wednesday, can't wait to use lots of cold water again.

Get a venilator ASAP, Corally! 35° - that's insane!


AAAAAND, another question: anybody know Lush Lacquer? Are they good? Bad? Boring? Exceptional? Any recs?

According to the weather forecast it will stay above 30°C here untill sunday

*Fingers crossed* it gets a bit colder after that. And yup, my Evian spray and i have been best friends lately

 

[Anitacska]

Thank you (and everyone else who's commented)!

It's very hot and humid here today, 32 C, house isn't much cooler, but at least the forecast for tomorrow is only 27 C and cloudy with showers.

I trully hate this hot weather. We're off to Spain on Saturday and I know it will be hot there, but our villa will have airconditioning and a pool to jump into.

Beautiful mani Anitacska!

We only have a portable airco at home but we never use it. It doesn't help that much really and it's noisy as hell

I much prefer a fan.
And thanks


Thanks MRV!

I've tried Picture Polish Revolution... and I don't like it. But I've only used it twice. The first time was user error. I just applied one coat like I usually do with base coats then went on with my polish. I saw no difference upon removal. It actually seemed a bit more work to remove because I had to keep going over my nail even after the glitter was gone to make sure I completely removed the base coat. It dries to a gluey texture that kept sticking to my nails.

I later found directions for it and saw that I was supposed to apply 2 coats and to make sure that it dries completely between coats and before applying polish. I used it again in my previous mani and made sure to follow the directions. No difference. I had the same issues as before upon removal. There was no improvement in removing the glitter and I had to spend extra time cleaning the base coat off my nails.

I'm not sure if it just doesn't work with my chemistry, my remover, the cotton pads I'm using or what, but it's not working how I hoped. Anitacska, what are you doing when you apply it? Maybe I'm still having user error.

With the mint mani I'm wearing now, I used Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter A-Peel. I think it works. It may actually work too well. I looked down at my hand yesterday to admire my mani and noticed that the glitter polish on one of my accents nails was completely gone! I was staring at my bare nail and it looked really smooth. It wasn't scratched up at all. I figure the glitter must've been removed after drying my hands or something. I later found it on the kitchen floor all in one solid piece. It didn't peel off into pieces. I'll be able to better judge Glitter A-Peel when I remove the glitter from my other nails.

Sorry to hear about the trouble with Fiver. I haven't worn mine yet. I'll know to look out for issues with it. Good to know there are no issues with Cotton Buds.
