Looks like your holo mani disappeared in my previous post Anitacska. You're making me want to wear more holos.


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


AAAAAND, another question: anybody know Lush Lacquer? Are they good? Bad? Boring? Exceptional? Any recs?
I'm not on Instagram. Lush Lacquer has been on my radar, but I haven't purchased any. I love the bright neon colors, but still trying to hold off on new brands. I don't have enough room to store what I already have.

I hauled polish over the weekend and managed to squeeze in celebrating my son's 18th birthday amid the hauls.

From Llarowe:

Picture Polish

  • Mellow Yellow

Scofflaw Nail Varnish

  • Sturm Und Drang

Emily de Molly

  • A Certain Shade of Green
  • Monet's Garden
  • Stuck on Blue
  • Dark Forces
  • Block Party


From Jindie Nails:

  • Sour Skittle LE
  • Don't Get it Citrus Twisted
  • Hex on the Beach
  • That Purple Ish
  • Silent Night
  • Nude Beach


From Enchanted Polish:

  • A Little Fishy Told Me


From Hare Polish:

  • The Monster
  • Dead Man's Bones
  • Midsummer's Midnight
  • Supernova Springs
  • Dog Day Dream


I'm still good with my mission to "slow down" even after these hauls. I was hoping Scofflaw Underripe and
Love Letter to Bea Arthur
would've been included in the restock. Those are the last 2 shades I need to complete my Scofflaw list. I guess I still have to wait. I also wanted to get more Hares because it was a good sale, but I couldn't. I need to save some money for a few more Jindies later this week and the upcoming Enchanted restock. Since she only launched one color yesterday, the next one has to be very soon.

I just wanted to say that although I hate the heat, at least we'll have aircon and pool there, unlike this blooming house that heats up like crazy. It's currently 29 degrees upstairs, same as outside.

I totally agree with Anneri, you should really get a ventilator. at least it will help a little bit. And sorry to hear about your shower, must be really hard being without cold water

Hoping it'll be wednesday soon

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.gif
No AC, no ventilator.. And our shower gets fixed this wednesday, can't wait to use lots of cold water again.

It's 35 ° here too, a ventilator is an option I agree with everyone, and a thermal water spray is another, drink a lot of water ( 2 l at least/per day ) and get a water spray.

Oh, no, sorry it's not worked for you. I just apply it once, then apply the glitter polish, and that's all. I don't wait long for it to dry, just until I get through all my 10 fingers (always start with left thumb through to right little finger) and then start applying the glitter polish (or sometimes base polish and then glitter on top). I wouldn't say it makes removal super easy, but certainly a lot easier for me. I also have the gluey texture left behind sometimes, but it comes off easily enough. I use Sally Hansen Strengthening Polish Remover fyi (the pink one).

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.

Hahaha, yes this is what slowing down looks like for me too!

Although I haven't bought any nail polish for 4 days now (shock horror!) and am still waiting for my Lilypad Laqcuers.

By the way, I'm really pleased with this M&S holo polish. May not be the strongest holo, but the formula's really nice and it's barely chipped on me even after 48 hours. Considering that holos tend to chip pretty quickly, that's a great achievement!

Wow, gorgeous!

Here's my NOTD!

I've just had an e-mail from Lilypad Laqcuers that my order has been shipped, tbh I was expecting it to arrive already, but I guess it won't now for a while.
ssad.gif
Oh well, I'll have something to look forward to when we come back from Spain. In the meantime I might order a few from Sally Magpies, but sadly she doesn't stock Pinky Promise for some reason.

I have Green Genie (you can find it among my pics), a teal similar one and possibly a third one but I'm not with my stash atm. GG was ok but I don't think I will be hauling anything from them soon. Too much TCs and neon for me.
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. :happydance: 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. :rasta:
Hope you'll have a cool vacation!

Beautiful! Love the gradient. Looks like it's time for a Pitter Patter mani! I think I will do it on Sunday when I have more time.

Thank you!

I've made my first franken polish! Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but basically I had this bottle of UD Woodstock polish (bright neon pink) that I got in a set and it had leaked and dried up somewhat, so I added some polish thinner and some of the M&S silver holo polish and made a very slightly holo neon pink.

The pictures don't really do it justice, it's much brighter neon IRL, but there you go.

@honi: great mani! Where do you get your striping tape? @CC: *drops dead* Awesome haul. A-W-E! @MRV: thanks for the feedback! I think I'll pass then and concentrate on other indies! @Anitacska: looking good! Frankening is such fun, isn't it? Here's my new mani: I put two coats of KBshimmer Black to Business over my essie mani from a few days ago. I let it dry, started to prepare my salad for lunch - and noticed that big chunks of my mani were missing! In the end, I could peel off my whole mani. Really strange. I guess the different polishes didn't want to play with each other!
