Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Naughtyp]

Wow! This is insanely beautiful! I have both polishes and should try it too.


Love the look of the new purple Zoya Pixie Dust polish! Still yet to try the formula, I have all 6 of the summer one, but haven't used them yet. So many polishes, so little time...

I totally understand, people ask me everyday "you changed colors again?" lol I have to that's the only way ill ever try all of them!

 

[Naughtyp]

Thanks Naughtyp! I love crayons---not just as a kid---I keep a large box on hand---what can I tell you---they make me
happy

Imagine that, at my age.

Re: Cake-hole. I did skip that one since I already have have it. I thought they arrived today, but the box contained something else that I'd ordered. The BLs from the fall collection will arrive this Thursday.
Thanks MACina! You're always so sweet

I keep crayons in the house too lol

 

[Naughtyp]

[Naughtyp]

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 want one no matter the quality lol

[MACina]

Awesome, Naughtyp! Cannot wait to see them!!!!

I use nailtiques formula 2, it lets me peel my polish off easily without stripping the nail, I love it1 and it makes my nails stronger, smoother and shiny, I never even use a topcoat anymore!

A bubble bath sounds nice right now! I love this color too, I haven't wore mine yet tho....too many left to go!
ooooh your talking me into cotton buds!i only have one white polish so far ( sally Hansen, it onlt took two coats!) that sux about Fiver tho =/ I have that one and cg refresh mint left out of my mint polishes. Ill see if fiver is the same way for me......
lol! You shoulda seen the evil look the UPS guy gave me today when he delivered 3 boxes! hahah one contained my Dior Delice (finally got that one, now I just need Princess and im set. its not my fav shade of pink, but come on. its called PRINCESS!!) lol I have to own it
That's the one I was gonna get buy I ended up getting Stage Red instead =/
I do the same thing once im frozen lol then the heat doesn't feel so bad lol!
It really does lol I try n take pics of my nails under the water but pics don't do it justice!

I almost always apply nail polish onto clean nails, I usually remove my n/p, wash my hands and start painting, so I don't think my nails are oily, etc. It's those chunky glittery polishes from CG and CC I usually have peeling issues with, not others.

I have no problems with CG but I am going to pop in and say that after I remove polish and do all the cuticle stuff I clean my nails with rubbing alcohol. I would think using a polish remover before applying polish would be like wearing a garlic necklace out on a date with a vampire.

OK I am feeling silly but yes I was once told to use rubbing alcohol instead of remover for final nail cleanse because remover would degrade the polish.

I believe Rescue Beauty Lounge is only available from their website and their salon in NYC. Their polishes are @$20/each plus shipping. I am actually upset with RBL because I ordered 6 polishes at once and did not get free shipping despite the over $100 {for free shipping} that I spent. On me they are very thin and feel weird. I like my polish to be creamier and theirs feel watery to me. Many people say it is opaque in 1 coat and I have to put on at least 3. Others say that once you learn how to apply it it is wonderful. I don't think there should be a trick to applying a brand of polish~ oh sure for glitter bombs or frosts and such might need different application methods but a special method for an entire brand? Come On. I have purchased over a dozen of their polishes and don't wear any of them. I have sold most of them off and kept the others because I really like the color but not enough to actually apply them

HOWEVER I am totally tempted by this particular color and Scrangie 2.0 Like the last 2 collections I am sitting there weighing the price vs my dislike of the formula vs the color love.

In other news I went to Nordstroms yesterday and grabbed Destin and Mystic off the shelves {there was no staff behind counter} and went to Chanel counter to check out. I put on Destin and LOVE it. It is rich and creamy and the brush is just wide enough to cover almost my entire nail in one stroke. Fully opaque with one coat {i hate when peeps say that but it is trueeeeee} I was just planning on putting it on to check color so no base or top coat. This stuff dries like woah fast. Super super fast. Like within minutes fast. I will try and take a picture tomorrow although I am getting minor tip wear {not chips} but I blame it on the mass cleaning I did these past 2 days and lack of base/top coat. I used Butter London's Fairy Cake on top for my accent nail.

The color of Destin is a greigey lavender. Maybe even mauveish. There is a reason I do not blog colors. It is indescribably and so beautiful. It totally reminds me of the colors I wore in the mid 80's back when Princess Marcella Borghesa did colors. I totally dug those really rich classy colors that brand put out. Now it is but a sad shadow of what it used to be.

Your experience w/RBL sounds pretty annoying!
I agree with you on Destin. It's way prettier than the photos would suggest. Mine arrived on Monday but I have not yet worn it or Galaxie which was released along with Destin.

Very colorful!!! Have you ordered anything yet? I liked the looks of the blushes but I just went a little nuts w/the Chanel creme blushes---I purchased 6 of them, so I guess I won't be trying the BL ones for quite some time.

I had the same thing happen with only one BL NP. Like you Anitacska, I wash my hands before polishing my nails, but I also wipe my nail with isopropyl alcohol. Go figure

So here's the conclusion of my NP haulage for July. The Dior Sparkling Powders set were intriguing and CC promised to help me through the process when I get around to wearing them. They are extremely sparkling IRL. I love the two new Diors, Destin & Galaxie. My Sak's SA says some new Dior nail care products will soon be released. The BLs here are Champers, Fairy Cake & Bobby Dazzler which have been on my list for a while, so it was time to finally get them!
