Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

This is my mani, China Glaze Infra Red holo polish. It's a really pretty colour and the holo is quite different from other polishes as it's very smooth, the whole things looks like it's metallic rather than holo, but the rainbow is definitely there, if this makes sense. The only problem is it looks terrible on my nails because it overemphasises every little ridge and imperfection (or in my case, every big imperfection). It looks better in person, but the pictures are not great. Try to focus on my ring and little fingers please (although it's also a pretty messy job, sorry).

i like it. i only see 1 line in you pointy finger, the rest look smooth to me. like i have ridges too. youll see them in my EP Im the W mani. anyways who cares!!! can you believe i havent used mine?. like i used one and it sucked so i got mad and put them in a box. i got the Nfu oh aqua base now maybe that helps. they are my only CG holos, i should give them a try again.

Okay, so I had a proper look at these Hares and turns out I do like a few of them after all.

How hard are they to get? I don't really want to place an order now, I've bought so much lately, will I still be able to buy them next week?

not hard at all. imo. i would recommend all hares cause im a hare NUT (except Electric Flame, i hate that one on me

). i find that only the new ones are kind of hard to get, especially at the Etsy Store where i have been cart jacked several times. but at LLa is easy to get them.
i dont think they are going to be available next week at the Etsy store, but LLa is going to be having a restock and the launch of the new collection. Nikole is probably going to restock in 3-4 weeks. which ones do you like so far??

I love those SO MUCH. Wow. I am the Walrus is gorgeous. Hare A+ Reminds me a little of the Girly Bits Cranberry that I have been considering? and Dirty Paws is already on my wishlist I think, but that just bumped it up a bit. Mayoegg really does look like such a fun polish. Not a dud in the bunch!

Went back (accidentally!) to Sephora, and discovered the have Deborah Lipmen, Ciate (Although picked over) Nails Inc among others. I was good though, saving for the Emily De Molly restock.

I like this, it is super cute! Thanks for the tips, I have not tried glitter yet.

Thanks hun. nice that you can get Orly where you are. i was going to ask you if you use Seche vite? its a fast drying top coat. thanks to seche i do my mani almost everyday

they have it at sallys.
i dont have any Girly bits. but if i recommend a brand more than any other that is Hare. im a hare whore. i have most of their polishes and i luv them.
Happy hands is at H&co just in case you want to give them a try later on. Mayoegg was my 1st polish from them, so far im happy with the brand.
Nice that sephora now has DL and others. i have some DL but to be honest im not that crazy about them, i think Indie glitter polishes are more unique and cheaper than a $19usd bottle of DL. they do have some nice ones, but then Revlon dupes them alot. which i kind of love.

Good luck in the Emily de Molly Restock!!!!!! ( i still havent jumped into that wagon!

Did you see the CG Halloween collection? they have some gorgeous glitters in there, Orly just keeps getting better and better too.

China Glaze has seriously been stepping it up in the past year - the formulas are better and the colors are richer and they've been coming up with some cool ideas in the textured polish arena, too. I can't wait for the white, snow textured polish they're doing in their Holiday collection and then there's that freaky top coat that seems like it's supposed to do a multi chrome transformation on whatever you are wearing underneath. I'm not always into Halloween collections but I will be getting that black texture for sure - the CG texture effect is very unique - looks like a 60's cottage cheese ceiling texture, but semi-gloss. They're doing some weird collection in Nov. called Crinkled Chrome which is some sort of wrinkled effect chrome metallic - all in pale pastels, on top of it all.

Orly has been one of those secret stealth innovators for years - remember when they did that Cosmic FX collection back around when MAC Disney Villains came out. That collection was before its time. They've been consistently bucking the trends since then. This year's been better than ever - Hope & Freedom Fest had so many beautiful polishes that weren't cookie cutter, same with Mash Up. The Mega Pixels are some of my favorite sand textures (OPI is totally copying the best colors of that collection in the Mariah holiday sands) and let us not even talk about the craziness in the Surreal collection, which I just went ahead and ordered in full.

These are pretty much my favorite brands right now!

I Am The Walrus looks amazing.

I haven't worn any of the Imagine or Time to Pretend polishes yet. I've just been working my way through the "plain" Enchanted holos so far. I really like that Happy Hands polish. I saw them at Harlow & Co and the bottles look cute, too. I can't get sucked into another brand.

The November crinkled chrome sounds interesting! I have been surprised their stuff has been so innovative recently. I do like China Glaze, my most used go to polish is Golden Meringue by China Glaze. I will have to keep a closer eye on Orly it appears.. they have been somewhat under my radar.

Missed a package today, and I am pretty sure it was my parcel from Nailpolishcanada. Now it will have to wait until Saturday likely. Grrr..

Discussion point: Aside from topcoats, what is your most used go-to nail polish? It may or may not be your favourite, but the one you wear most often.

As mentioned in my previous post, mine is China Glaze Golden Meringue.
