Hello all!

Been busy with work, took quite a bit to catch up on the thread. In the end I skimmed the pictures, great manis!

I did have time to participate in the Nail Polish Canada Emily de Molly restock. Thank goodness the other site was restocking on Saturday too. I managed to snag all my lemmings, 6 polishes and a zoya to boot!

I got:

Emily de Molly:
Pyrite (Put that on just now, will try to get a picture tomorrow)
Cosmic Forces
Fashion Victim
Black Forest
Dark Depths
Blue Prediction (new)

Zoya: Payton

I am keeping an eye out for the Enchanted restock, was very sad to hear they are not getting Hot Chocolate in.

After that, if I can behave until the new year will place an order for some BkShimmers from Harllowe.
Nice haul! How do you like Pyrite? I might get it at some point.

Thanks, Med!


Oh no, did you manage to get it at the end?

They are from Beauty So Fly. Many of the new ones are already SO, even I did not get all I wanted because I was not able to order earlier. Here's my mani with Abuse the Ooze (over Orly Fresh):




Yes, Christmas needs glitter! I think I'm going to have a glitter party in December (too

).


Thanks, Fuzzy!


Oh, nice! You got the snowflakie ones! My order was shipped only yesterday.


Awesome hauls! Which Zoyas did you get?

Talking about sands - I was wondering why some of the Essie bottles don't have any 'warnings'. There's no mention of sand/texture on the blue sand or especially Belugaria - now that will be a surprise to someone!

Haha that's what I was thinking and seriously her only 3 posts are all adds! I love your mani, it's such a beautiful green colour! I love the other mani's too, but it's too much to quote. I'm not posting as much anymore as I did in the past, so it might seem like I'm not reading, but I do! I love seeing the manis and the haul pics too.
Ow and after I got the 2 Deborah Lippmann polishes and the 5 OPI Mariah Carey's I also got another Mariah polish, the Pure Top Coat, and two OPI DS polishes in Pewter and Lapis (my first OPI DS polishes!). I ordered them on Ebay yesterday, so it'll take some time until I can try them, but I order the 5 Mariah's on November 1st and according to tracking they already arrived the 5th

I'm staying with my parents and let it ship to my dorm, so I can't check it yet but that would be the fastest ever! Maybe the others will arrive fast too.
I've already worn the DL polishes and I'm in love with them! My bf thought the combination was beautiful as well. It's Rolling In The Deep with Va Va Voom on top.

Sorry for the chip on the middle finger. I've had this polish on since I believe saturday and I think it hold up quite well for 5 days including some cleaning.

Gorgeous mani PDF, and excellent wear-time. I'm lucky if I get two-three days wear out of anything!!!

I wish my manis looked this good after 5 days. No actually, scrap that, if that was the case, I'd be too lazy to change them and would never ever got through even half of my untrieds. Not that I'm going to anyway...

I went shopping today and picked up these:



At least they were cheap (there was a 3 for 2 offer on the Maybellines). I have also finally ordered some China Glaze polishes from Autumn Nights and Holiglaze. Not too many actually, only 8 altogether. Surprised myself in the end. I'm gonna order the Zoya autumn pixies and 3 of the new Essies and 3 of the holiday Zoyas in a minute, then go to bed.

Yes, I got Indian Summer at the last restock. Leah Ann phoned the Crowstoes lady and asked her to send some more, so she was able to release more. I stayed up until 11.30 pm in the end! Nutter....

I'm glad you got yourself a bottle Indian Summer!

I don't think I've seen those Maybellines here...


Wow a lot of things shipped for me today... Llarowe order, NPB order, that flouride treatment my dentist said to buy... really bad that I bought a bag of Haribo Goldbears to go with that LOL

Okay ladies I have been following this thread for a while but just now starting to do some manis on myself. How do you hear about all these indi brand polish makers? I have never heard of most of them. Even better, maybe I can solicit some recommendations. What are your top 5 or 10 brands?

I first heard about the indie polishes by coming here, lol. So beware! My top 10 brands are Enchanted Polish (although I have a love and hate relationship with them, they are gorgeous, but so hard to come by), Darling Diva Polish, Colors by Llarowe, Lilypad Lacquer, I Love Nail Polish, Femme Fatale, Emily de Molly, Ozotic, Picture Polish, Girly Bits, HITS, Layla, Glitter Gal, Naild It, Crowstoes, Cirque... Sorry that's more than 10 isn'it it?
girlhaha.gif
Anyway, I think they are all worth checking out. And the new KBShimmer collection, although I haven't received them so I can't comment on how good they actually are, but they sure look very pretty!

I have not tried hairy nails yet. I got one of those from SH.


Here's my current mani: Cbl Beat It with EP To Die For. I think they are a perfect match, like 1+1=3, not just 2.

Thanks, PDF! I was thinking of Pure TC, too (I don't have any of those previous, similar ones). Please report back!

That DL combo looks lovely! I have not tired Va Va Voom yet, just the blue one.


That's well done. 11.30 pm? My normal bedtime!
girlhaha.gif


Nice glitters, I don't think I have seen anything like them here either.


Thanks, Fuzzy!


There's also Elevation Polish, Arcane Lacquer, and many more. One can find most if you visit Llarowe or Harlow or follow nail bloggers.

I liked the one KBShimmer I have tried. The quality was good.

I have The Man With The Golden Gun top coat as well as Gilt-y Pleasure from Wing Dust (this is a silver and gold flakie). I first expected the Pure top coat to be like Gilt-y Pleasure, but later on I found out it had white gold instead of regular gold, so I wanted that one too. I haven't worn the Gilt-y Pleasure polish though I have to confess, but I love TMWTGG, so I'm sure I'll love GP as well as the Pure top coat too. I think all of these are great and the finish is different from any other polishes. I think they fit the holiday season very well.
Today I finally tried Seven Nation Army from Enchanted Polish. I applied it over Pelican Grey from China Glaze.

The formula is very nice and the glitter is easy to spread. I think it looks very pretty. In the picture it looks a bit less dimensional as it does IRL.

MRV, this mani is unbelievably lovely! Stunning. Martiangurrl, if you're new to indies, have a look at Meimeisignatures (online store for indie polishes), she has a nice offer going on for those new to indies. I, like Anitacska, learned about indies in this thread (and on various blogs), so beware lol!

It looks lovely. I haven't yet tried Seven Nation Army yet. Thinking I might do and accent with it over Water for Unicorns.

Nice haul!

Well, finally my Dance Legend polishes have arrived. Turns out they were actually posted on the 23rd October and not the 23rd September as I thought (that's when I placed my order). A whole month with no explanation, no apology, nothing. The polishes look lovely, but I will never buy from them again, their customer service is non-existent and I'm really appalled by how they treated me. But for now I shall enjoy my polishes. They really are gorgeous, especially the multichromes. And luckily I didn't get charged any customs fees, so that's good.





I also got the Nails Inc Knightsbridge Road Galaxy polish I bought on eBay, It's much more sparkly IRL than the picture shows.



Finally, my mani, Lilypad Lacquer Purple People Eater with Jindie Nails Sparkle on the Vine. It's a lovely red purple with subtle holo. My camera refused to pick up the exact colour, so I used my phone instead, but the last picture was taken with my camera to show the accent nail on my right hand (can't operate the phone camera with the left hand) as that one has one of the large circle glitters on it.

Nice mani! Yeah, 11.30 isn't that late by my standards either, but I was very tired and just wanted to go to bed. But hey, I got Indian Summer, so yay!

Just dying over that first lot of Dance Legend Anitascka. Just stunning but what a pity they have terrible service :(



This is my manicure from Beyonce last night. It's Essence Icy Princess with a top coat of Ulta3 Showstopper. I figured Beyonce called for bling!
