I had a good NP day today :)

First, I ordered some of the nail sticks someone posted about here, and they arrived earlier in the week, so today I set to swatching all my polishes. I'll share a pic of the full collection tomorrow when I have daylight! Things I discovered - considering how rarely I do (or am likely to do) a French manicure, I have way too many French polishes. Need to thin those out a bit. Nudes generally are my biggest category in fact, which is weird 'cos they're what I wear least. Also, I have barely any cream polishes - almost everything is shimmery. Not a single proper coral in my collection, and I have surprisingly few purples or blues either.

Second, I got my A England shipping notice this morning (actually arrived in my inbox at about midnight) which made me happy, I was even happier when the polishes themselves turned up

Here's my haul:



L-R: Tess D'Urbervilles, Saint George, Tristam
Princess Sabra, Excalibur, Bridal Veil

I was most excited for Saint George and in the flesh - having swatched all these instantly of course - it is insanely gorgeous. As is Tristam, and the holo in Princess Sabra is amazing. I can't wait to wear these. I discovered that I have a near-identical dupe for Excalibur already - L'Oreal Chrome Shine 342, which I'm pretty sure has been discontinued for years LOL. When swatching, Saint George even seemed like it will be a proper one-coater. I am instantly in love with this brand, and I went straight back to the site to place another order! I now have Holy Grail (limited edition version) and Dragon on their way to me. More will follow for sure! I was also surprised to discover that they're based right around the corner from where I worked for 5 years, nothing like supporting local companies

This is what I've had on my nails this week:



Estee Lauder Dressed to Kill. I love the colour, but I do find the formula a touch thick/difficult to work with so this isn't my neatest mani ever - don't look too closely! It's coming off tomorrow - I'm serving on a jury for the next couple of weeks, so time to get conservative and crack out some of those nudes.

Nice pics!! I just got my first Estee Lauder np a couple weeks ago! =)
I think my A england was delivered already! i had a post it in my mail box that i had a package in the managers office.
ANd guess what else was in my mailbox?! My zoyas, they are so beeautiful, i can not wait to wear all these colors!
My moms boyfriend gave her this really nice round , sort of hat box thing and i said oooh i can put my np in there! so she gave it to me, ill post a pic later lol. I think i need to avoid this thread for the next few weeks. I just went to get an oil change today and i ended up having to get 2 new tires + an alignment! ther e goes 4 bills! ughhh. i need my w2 already so i can do my tax return! and instead of using it to pay bill, im just going to buy more stuff. and keep paying my bills....

I did a Deborah Lippman mani the other night. I'm officially hooked! Time to get some more..

Let's go crazy over Zoya Pinta

Oh my gosh I am lusting after Let's Go Crazy so much. I might have to snag a bottle from the Bay of Evil!

Thank you so much for all the welcomes everyone!

Naughtyp I adore Butter London too. I only have a handful of them though because the NZ retail price is $30.90

My biggest stash is China Glaze, closely followed by Kleancolor & Color Club. I wouldn't say Kleancolor are my favourite, but they are so cheap and have so many unique colours (mostly the glitters)!

Buickmackane - that is a pretty sweet avatar you have there :)

Cute mani medgal! Looking forward to meeting Cartoon Chic. Dragon has been a lemming of mine for so long. I can only conclude we all have amazing taste!

Here is my current mani - sorry for the spam, it's hard to narrow down the photos with colour shifting glitter!

Hits Phenomena Moonbow, 2 coats over black.

Dunno about the fluffy Ghostbusters character, but I noticed the puking emoticon in my crap mani post was a bit static for a while. It just sat there looking all green and uncomfortable. Then it went back to its usual vomity self.

Like littlepickle and honey on boost I had the urge for something sparkly and something dark, and so this mani came to life:



Sorry for the pic spam, I just love it so much!

A lady of good taste, I see? I PMd you my number. We should meet up for a Scotch.

Awesome mani btw. I didn't pick up Moonbow because I have Ozotic 528 which I think is super close. I do have Borealis though. Love it! I use it very sparingly because the bottle's so bloody tiny.


Honey on boost - gorgeous as ever!

Seeing your nails sometimes makes me wonder why I even bother

Anneri - such a lovely combo! Do you plan on mattifying it? I love me a mattified flakie!

Oh holy hell, I have to stop hanging out on this thread! Went shopping this afternoon as I wanted to check out the new Dior collection. Came home with rather more than that:



L-R Dior Gris Trianon, Essie Butler Please & Where's My Chauffeur, Models Own Indian Ocean (icy blue with pink shimmer
eyelove.gif
), NYC Lavender Cupcake.

I'm passing on Rosy Bow and Tutu - Tutu is too pale, and Rosy Bow too sugary sweet for my taste.
