Hi everyone, was curious what your thoughts are on his nail polishes? Im thinking of picking up a few - would you say they are long lasting, worth it?
What are you favorite nail colors from his line le or regular line?

Thanks :D
​I love TF nail polishes. Of all the brands that I have in my collection, TF NP lasts the longest on me. I hope to purchase more of them!!!

Since I have over 200 bottles of nail polish, his on me rank really high. Depending on my job at the moment, usually in and out of water/ice. They last 3-4 days with no chipping. Louboutin, Dior and Cirque along with Mr. Ford work the best for me. If you like Vamp, his reds and purples are good. Today I am wearing In the Pink and Burnt Sugar. Have had on since Sat, no chips yet. I do use a good base coat and top with Veche speed dry top coat. He also has a nice selection of nudes and delicate pinks, vivid bright colors. They are all super.

! I think Tom Ford is creeping even deeper into my beauty preferences, first makeup and now polish. What is your favorite base coat/top coat combo with his polishes? I have trouble with seche for whatever reason :/ so if you have any other fav topcoats I'd love to know.
I've recently started using Deborah Lippmann's Addicted to Speed----quick drying top coat and it's been great,
but my experience is that any base or top coat that I use w/TF NP is practically irrelevant---the nail polish just
seems to last. It has incredible wear time!!!!

I was tempted to buy Velvet Violet (love that shade!) over the weekend to satisfy my TF urge. I'm going to try to hold off until the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so I can get triple points.
OMG it's a GREAT shade for you Meka. I can just imagine how pretty it'll look on you!!

I'm probably not going to make it to the Nordstrom sale.
I think you're absolutely right! The makeup heart wants what the makeup heart wants

Go for it Meka.

Furnace still on this morning in Chicago. The summer that never was??? Of course by the time the kiddies go back to school around 8/10, it should be hotter then the hinges of hell. Yes, around 8/10 is the start time for public schools out in the super burbs. So they have their semester finals just before Christmas(Winter) break. They get out BEFORE Memorial Day.....
Oye!!! This too shall pass---looking forward to warmer days for us all again soon!!!

BC. I hope you and your little ones are all doing well. YES! I happened to find Moroccan Rouge in a CCO on Sunday----it followed me home

​I think many of
the previously limited edition lippies are now coming back into the permanent range and there is some name reassignments going on along with the repromotions.

So the TF nail polishes are good... Then i might purchase one or two next time i go to the CCO, im in serious need of a good, long lasting nail polish, i like doing my own nails but hate when they start chipping the second day

​I'm sure all good things!!!!! When does your Velvet Violet arrived? I squealed when I saw that you ordered it too
pompom.gif
I ordered stuff before we left and wheel we were away---I timed the order so the package would arrive today and it did! I haven't yet opened it because I've been busy catching up here.

While away we went to a Christmas shop called the Christmas Mouse---I love this store and dropped hundreds on ornaments. I've collected ornaments for over 30 years and I just love adding to my collection.

Here's my rough draft of Deep Mink and Sable Smoke! im about an NC42 for reference (nars tahoe, med-drk complexion) I also threw in Pink Guilt and i must say...i am NOT a gloss gal at all but this is definitely a unique shade i've yet to come across and im sure will be the only gloss from TF i'll own lol. it's nice and thick yet not too tacky (like saaaay mac lipglass) where its still comfortable on the lips and with it being thick it helps my lips last longer!! i only apply gloss in the CENTER of my lips only and blend outwards with my finger (no rhyme or reason just habit i made up)


Deep Mink with Pink Guilt is the PERFECT combo!! i came across this from YT when i was lookin up which shades to grab and DM is my first TF lippie. i aint gonna lie...i felt dumb as shyt for splurging $47 for a freaking lipgloss but im glad i did becuz like i said its unique and as meddy says (dmn u for always being right) it's the perfect gloss to top off ANY nude/neutral lip.


Sable Smoke is my baaaaaaby!!! omg i done wore the TF off it already becuz i reach for it so much. it's a nude lip i cant explain and its like no other nude i have (no matter what dupes u might come across). it's so nice n creamy and i feel so grown n luscious when i wear it. i wear it alone and no gloss but here i paired it with PG at the bottom. I am quite sure i will finish this tube by the end of the year and repurchase all over again!!

So there's my shhhhpill on these 2!! i pair mac cork with SS and i like to do a chocolate liner with DM but mainly the outer corners of my lip cuz i dnt want it to ever take away from the gorgeous shade that DM is!! When i do a full look with these 2 again i'll post it in here or hopefully my blog should be up **crosses fingers** cuz im shooting for a deadline by the end of this month!! my next shades i wanna get is blush nude and what did i say...pink dusk, only becuz i know when folks searchin they go for the "safe" neutral colors to invest in first but huuuuntttty ooooh let me show yall when i wore FLAME this weekend....



any kind of red makes me feel grown women but its just somethin about TF lippies that screeeeeeam not just grown but sophisticated grown! it literally transforms my whole being lol and then i be feeling all above n bougie like when im out n about just thinkin "dmn my lipstick alone cost more than that shirt"
blah.gif
BUT YEA so im slowly but surely expanding my lippies and since im more for color than not this is my first colored TF!! i got MR on the way courtesy of Lisa..where u at giiiiirl
heart.gif
and lookin fwd to adding electric pink and black dahlila too!! For TF newbies...WE (cuz im still new) should invest in a good neutral, pinky and POP shade.

P.S. i'll leave yall wit a pic of mason too for yall viewing pleasure lol. we went to a mother/son dance and he STAYED on the dancefloor doin that whip n naenae dance hahaha!!
