Oh my goodness! I got on a mini vacation to Puerto Rico for the weekend and I'm so many freakin pages behind. You girls are fast :haha: I love all your mani's and hauls! I was trying to comment on each one until I realized it'll take me about an hour lol. Before I left I was bored at home and started browing Sephora when I noticed a new brand called Jin Soon. Then I saw Alllacqueredup's swatches and had to order at least one to try out the formula. Man am I in love! The color is gorgeous. Now I'll be picking up the rest of the fall collection. Has anyone tried this brand?

Wasn't there a mac collaberation with Jin Soon a few years ago? Iirc she's an artist with her own salon in nyc. I had such a day! Completely exasparated. I had a small cycling accident and spent my day nearly completely at the Hospital - first doctor couldn't decide if I needed stitches or not, so I had to wait for ages to see the specialist who just had a glance and decided blithely that no, I wouldn't need them. Well thank you, I just spent three hours waiting to hear that! I was so exasparated with everything that I dropped into Mango on my way home and got two trousers, a shirt and a sweater and got a coveted pair of Nikes and another sweater at Asos when I came home. I failed quite spectacularly in my plan to save money!

Thanks Naughtyp. I was wearing BL's Royal Navy w/Hare Star Tropics for one accent nail on each hand. It was beautiful but I didn't have time to take a pic.
Four days later when I wanted a polish change the blue polish had stained my nails. I became a Smurf--it took two days to get rid of the blue. I don't recall that this
ever happened to me before.

Finally, my Colors by Llarowe order has arrived! I actually asked her on FB why it took 20 days for it to come and apparently this was a pre-order and wasn't supposed to be shipping until the 29th. I totally didn't remember that. I'm sure some of you received you CbL polishes before then, no? Oh well. The other thing is, apparently the Royal Mail is now destroying all incoming parcels with nail polish in them and that's why they'd not sent the orders I placed on the 26th and 29th August. Apparently they are going to ship as hazardous cargo into the UK and then distributed over here by someone else. What's weird is, I have received every package with nail polish in it so far except for one, but in all honesty that seller never even bothered to reply to my questions, so I'm a bit dubious about that one anyway. Oh yes, and the first Lilypad order disappeared, but then again, the second one turned up fine. I don't know...

Anyway, here's a rather crappy picture of my Color by Llarowe order, I sneakily took this with my phone in the bathroom since it's Saturday and my husband is home. Some of the colours look a bit samey, although they are all pretty, I am feeling a bit of buyer's remorse. Maybe I really didn't need to order 11 of them in one go.



The colours are: Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, True Colors, Good Fortune, Sparkles Are A Girl's Best Friend, Tank Tops and Flip Flops,
bottom row: This Girl Is On Fire! Help!, Rare Bear, Trouble, Thriller, Gizmo

Oh and actually I have just checked and the CbL pre-order was on the 24th and i ordered on the 18th, when she launched the MJ collection, so BIG FAT LIAR on that one! I feel like they're giving priority to US customers over international ones. Right now I'm feeling like I can't be bothered to order from her again. Bring on Rainbow Connection!

Oh my! I just bought two of these (Bluemarks and Clearly Spotted) and now I want a third.. will wait until they go on sale though.
(Edit: This should be a reply to the Speckled Pink manicure.. how do I get it to show the pictures with the reply?)

Just joined, after reading this thread for a few days and being so impressed with the polishes and manis! Just starting to get back into nail polish, and just starting to get into indie polish.

Spent the summer in Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) and bought a bunch of Mrs. P's Nail Potions, and recently ordered a set of minis from Starrily.. Nail Polish Canada is offering free shipping right now (And a contest with daily prizes!) and I ordered my first Models Own polish: Red Sea.

Waiting for a good Llarlowe sale/free Canada shipping now. I made up a wishlist twice, and twice it disappeared! Wrote them about it and we shall see what happens.. anybody else have problems forming an account with them with a Yahoo address?

Glad to have found a group of nail polishers to chat with. :)

I was thinking about a white with gold pearl, a 'warm' white but I'm not sure something like that exists. Some kind of abricot shade would maybe work too?

Yes! Were you thinking something on a lighter side? What about Chanel Island? It's light but not a cream--a bit pearlized. Illamasqua Purity is peach cream, but light.

Good to see you posting again, Med! Thank you for the recommodations! I've to look at swatches of those. There were a lot of great nps that were recommended to me. Right now I'm completely enarmoured with CC's rec - Milquetoast. Such a beautiful polish! I had a look at my polishes that could work:

Seeing the nailsticks I like Chips no Potatoes best, but last time I wore it I didn't like it much. So the hunt continues!!!

Thanks for all your well wishes! I am back into my Llarlowe account, so all is well there (Aside from the too large wishlist of course :p).




Not that great at mani photos yet (Tips appreciated). Here is my current mani in outdoor light. China glaze Re-fresh Mint and Starrily Sand art on top on the pinkie (Pink and yellow and glitters).

If anyone's interested, there are a few Enchanteds available on the Norway Nails website. I have them all, but they have a few of the Beatles ones and Electric Feel as well as the two Castles.

Norway Nails posted this on Facebook about Emily de Molly:

I just had an e-mail from Emily de Molly saying that the following colors will be discontinued - I still have the possibility of ordering in these for one last time. Some of these colors have really been best sellers and some are nearly sold out. If you not have managed to get these in the past and are interested please comment or send me a message so I can make sure everyone hopefully get them before they are gone:

Split personality
Its complicated
Majestic flight
Its just a phase
My bleeding heart
Ego friendly
Warrior princess
Regal beginnings
Somber party
Rose gold
Stuck on blue
Bright young things

Very sorry to see that Majestic Flight and Ego Friendly are going - but it's to make room for new releases so it's exiting too.

I'm pretty sure that I have every shade I really wanted out of these.
