My current mani, FNUG Futuristica. This one is hard work. I used Nfu Oh Aqua Base under it as I'd heard that it's a "dry" holo and it applied fine, opaque with 2 coats, but the brush is so small and only picks up very little polish at a time, so it took ages to cover one nail. I didn't put topcoat on, but then I noticed that it started fading on the tips and cracking on the uneven bits, so I added another coat plus topcoat. Luckily the holo effect remained the same with topcoat on. So excuse the slightly messy application, I took the pictures just after I'd added the extra coat and didn't manage to clean up properly (I normally use the "peeling the polish off the cuticles after shower the following morning" method
). Oh and pictures are a bit yellow due to taking them under a bright light indoors, there's no sunshine again today.

Not the whole store.Dying at that mani MRV, aengland is still impossible to get in Australia at the momentbut mei mei does have it and has a 20% off sale at the moment at they do have a-england.... and emily de molly, darling diva and so on. hope it helps someone! off to see if I can rustle up some $$ for a dance legends polish

It's Christmas in my house again!
My INP and DDP orders came this morning and they are all so pretty!
The photos don't do justice to the colours, they are so much more vibrant and the multichrome effects are amazeballs!

Yes! that does look similar, but Rusty is warmer toned and brighter/lighter. Toubkal kind of reminds me of the colour of red plum skin.Thanks, LC! You can also get A Englands from Llarowe, might be even cheaper.
Thanks, girl!
Where from did you get these again? I think me wants them!
Nice holo! I've read that FNUGs have a strong holo. Would you say so? Is it as strong as the CC holos? Or others?
You have a serious hole on your collection.
Thanks, CC! No sponges needed. I just put some polish on the upper line and spread it towards the center. Only SWIB performed too evenly, it's better if there's kind of "icicles".

This looks very christmassy, MRV! Lovely.And my mani! This is Elevation Toubkal (the formula was great, no sign of bubbling inspite of my tendency to put thicker layers & dried quickly) and AE She Walks in Beauty (not sure this is the best for gradients, it was a bit difficult to make it drag).

OK, I'll try it. I layered Femme Fatale Gilded Rose over my Congratulations mani last night, but only over accent nails. I'll try to do the gradient effect over the other nails.Thanks, LC! You can also get A Englands from Llarowe, might be even cheaper.
Thanks, girl!

Those EDM's are so pretty! Congratulations looks so pretty and so unique from anything I've seen.
Emily de Molly Femme Fatale: Galaxis Shards, Party Grenade, Tricky Treats, Ebon Roses, Gilded Rose, Sparkling Sands
My current mani. Enchanted Polish Congratulations
Now I see what all the fuss is about!
Congratulations is like a red toned neutral on my skin tone. I love it. It's cloudy, so I couldn't catch the red/orange/gold shift.

Thanks HOB! I thought it would be nice for the beginning of fall. I'll admit the only other topcoats I've tried are Diamont(shiny but my polish never completely dried) and Zoya's with the drying drops(also never completely dried) So just like if I didn't use any topcoats ... For some reason nail polish never dries fully on its own on me? No idea why... Too much nail moisture? The first time I used Wicked Fast I woke up the next day with no creases in my nail polish. It was a religious experience! LOL So all in all it's not too thin in texture, you can add more than one coat if you need more, if it gets old you can use regular Sally Beauty thinner in it and it goes right back to normal. It's played nice with all the polishes I've used it with, no strange reactions or anything. I like it!

I think it's just you!I want to see swatches of the I Love NP polishes! Do you also find the Darling Diva polishes to be dupes of the Enchanted Time to Pretend collection, or is it just me? I'd like to know if I should still get Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
We Are The Champions, Mean Mr Mustard, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hey Jude
Flash, I Am The Walrus, Killer Queen, Octopus's Garden
Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Across The Universe, We Will Rock You, Magical Mystery Tour
And again (without flash):

Yes, it's a nice strong holo, but it's quite a pain in the backside. I already have some serious chips having only done my nails last night and patched them up this morning (ie added an extra coat and topcoat). Meh.

No I haven't heard of this at all. But surely that can't be right, what about Sally Magpies for example?Nice! You have a good start.
The white texture is very ..eh.. textured! You could do some frosty tips with it or use (a few layers of) glitter food over it - but it's not sparkly, so I dunno.
Awesome.
Ok, thanks. So they are not the new-ist, but new-ish. I don't have those two you mention so I did not recocnize them. You NEED MORE!
Looks like RC does not have a lof of stuff (yet), so no worries. Sophie from Femme Fatale told me that she won't be with RC any more because there apparently is an EU law that prohibits to import makeup with intend to sell it in the EU! Have you heard of this before? I think this is the lowest of thelaws!!!
