No, it's one of the Luxeffect, called Jazzy Jubilant. It's not available here in the UK, so I got it on eBay together with the other two.

HOB, nice to see you again, sorry about the office fire though, how awful.

I saw Buick over on the UK thread, she says she's not been hauling np, so that's why she's not been here. I miss her witty comments.

I had a hideously busy day today, but did manage to take pictures of my mani which I'll post tomorrow. I'll take pictures of my ILNP haul tomorrow. Just made my Llarowe wishlist... Oh dear.

I'm off to bed now though, I'm knackered.

Tell Buick she should come over and chat! It's not about hauling np, it's about LOVING np!

We should start a book thread! How do you find Allegiant? I've read some bad reviews and hold back buying it for now.

Phew, that was a lot of quotes. I hope I didn't forget anybody who commented on the pics and will say 'Thank you!!!' just in case.

I'm quite excited right now because we'll leave for a short trip to London on Friday morning. Besides doing a lot of cultural stuff, shopping and watching the Doctor Who Anniversary at the cinema (yay!!!) I'll do a makeup class at Illamasqua. Very very excited!

I hear you! I love books. WHen I moved I had to get rid of almost 10 boxes of them, it broke my heart :( Reading Snow Falling on Cedars right now, you?

I wonder if there is a book thread on this board :p

In terms of Rose Gold polishes, I am not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but Stella by Cirque looks very nice.

about your books! You can do a search on the forum for a book thread. I'm currently reading 'Me Before You,' which is really pretty good. Did you read 'The Book Thief' ? I see they've made it into a movie that will be coming out soon. That was a very good book too.

I'll add that one to my list, thanks. I just googled it----the micro glitter is rose gold and the base looks tangerine. I'm actually hoping she'll like the DL polish. It's very pretty. I'm still waiting for the EL one to arrive. Apparently the EL polish is very popular. I had a hard time finding it. EL didn't even have it on their own web site!
I must have missed it - which DL polish did you get her?


Thank you.

My browser isn't playing ball so I can't quote properly, will try and remember everyone! Anneri, thanks for sharing the wedding pictures, you look beautiful and very happy. So pleased the day went well. (((Hugs))) to everyone who is struggling for any reason. I too love that we are such a supportive group, and that with all the differences between our lives we have one thing in common that brings us together - love of NP! My ILNP haul arrived - I have so many haul and mani photos to share but every time I think about it I'm away from home/wifi access. When I finally post them all I will spam the whole thread LOL! Re the Dior holiday polishes, I got Minuit (with the help of a little enabling from my husband). Looks so pretty. Quote:Originally Posted by Anneri

Ooh great! How long are you staying? Wave hello if you're anywhere near the Guildhall teehee ;)

I also have some manis to share! I use a lot of drugstore polishes lately, because I've no money and they're easily available (for little money lol) and I quite like the results. They really have become a lot better, with striking textures and even nice holos! That's the first Maybelline Brocade np I tried, Woven Skyline.

A slightly more expensive drugstore polish I've never tried before. This held up greatly - no chips or tipwear for three days which is phenomenal for me. BeYu in Champagne Illusion

Aaaand a 1,50€ polish (Rival de Loop in Perfect Rainbow) over a black base. I was debating over getting the Artdeco ones, but this is just as nice for the fraction of the price imo. I got another one I'll have to try soon.

Hey ladies! I just posted in the Traincase section where I show my new storage for nailpolish, figured some of you might be interested so just a heads up :)

I got some manis to show aswell!!


OPI Ski Slope Sweetie, didnt like this one. Looks terribly old fashioned.


OPI All sparkly and gold, really liked this one! Super dense and glittery goodness.


OPI Dont burst my bubble (Base) And Maybelline colorama Winter Baby


China Glaze Gossip over Gimlets, lovely polish!


OPI Silent Stars go by, a little too brown in some lights but inside and in the shade it looks lovely.

The Llarowe website is completely dead. Ugh, this is fun. I might try my luck at the next restock, this is too much aggro.

Thank you Med!


Thank you Bcteagirl! I didn't want to go all white and fluffy - after all, I'm not in my twenties any longer and it *was* November - and was really happy about everything turned out.


That's so sweet, Fuzzy! I was aiming for that classic retro look - I wish I could wear my hair like this every day, but alas, to have the hairdresser come to my house in the morning would get very expensive very soon!


Thanks MRV! I think we both were happy that everything was over, we both were incredibly nervous before. The best part was when everybody left and we could spend the time with each other!


Naughtyp, I'm so sorry. I hope you feel slightly better now? I hope you weren't hurt at the accident!
Take care dear!


Thank you Naynadine!
I've to admit that I started to feel slightly guilty after I posted the pics - here was I, in my happiness, and so many ladies are unhappy right now. I can absolutely relate - I was single and lonely for so long, and then I met my husband at the most unlikely time. I had a very fulfilling job then - now I'm unemployed. I've come to the opinion that there's always something in your life that works, and something that needs work. YKWIM? But astonishing things can turn up. They truly can.

I'm so sorry, Med. I'm truly happy that your life changed again after this tragedy and you met another good man.

LOVE this comment!


Hi HOB! Good to see you! Omg, the fire sounds scary. I can imagine that it's a huge inconvenience to work in a different location. I hope your files/PC etc could be saved!



Awwwwwwwww. That's so sweet. When I was at home the cats always came over when I polished my nails, but I was always afraid that their hair cought on the wet polish!


Tell Buick she should come over and chat! It's not about hauling np, it's about LOVING np!

My Grandma had to always do her hair because her's was poker straight and that was not in style at the time! She still goes to get her hair permed... And complains that her sister had naturally curly hair LOL She had one of those high-neck, long-sleeved wedding dresses with a million buttons up the back.

I love the big rollers in your new profile pic.

I may be alone, but that just means I can have spring rolls and chocolate chip cookies for breakfast and nobody can tell me that it's wrong!

There are so many really nice drugstore polishes than there were just a few years ago. I haven't seen those Maybelline brocades around here yet, but I'm keeping an eye out for them!




Ooo my Enchanted Polish is downstairs... off I go!

Hi Jenny! I take it you live in London then?

It's just a short getaway of four days - Friday to Monday. It's been nearly two years since I was in London, so I'm really looking forward to it!

I don't actually, just work here :) I escape at evenings and weekends lol. The problem with that is that I'm often lazy about making the most of what's on offer in London - the last thing I want to do most weekends is travel in when I don't have to! But when I do get out and about I still love it, it's an awesome city. Hope you have a great time!

I was quite happy with my list until I just noticed that she has added more shades and I want one of them. I can only get 7 this time, and now I have to skip one that was originally on my list.

Speaking of Llarowe...I got not one, but two packages from them today!!

I tried to capture the few sun rays we had but it was still difficult to photograph some of them:



That's a fact Jack, All Bidness, Unorthodox Annie, Smooth Criminal, Monkey see Monkey Do, Precious Metal



Chasing Rainbows, Ground Control, Hardware/Hardware

(awesome 'tangerine' metallic holo glitter!), Belissima, Blue Prediction

Finally a quick mani I did late last night: Hare Dead Man's Bones.

Awesome NP haulage MRV....and very pretty mani!

You are right, Naynadine. Luckily, I know nothing about those other ones!


Nice that they are sending you another one. What is a mini can of Batiste with polish points?


I'm sorry to hear that, I did not know about CC, too. Unfortunately, I've kind of been there too as my mother was not even 40 when my father died.


Yes, that's the point. I just can't (under)stand people who come to you and judge your life and say you're better off, even though they know nothing about it, complaning about things they have. Things the other one has never had/will never have or has not had in years.

At least we have the NPs, regardless of the situation! I see you got some of the Essies! But the one on the right is not Belugaria, no? Yes, the CbL restock is tomorrow. Check out the times on FB.


We had them in the 70's!


Thanks, Bcteagirl!


Nice to see you, Honey! Oh, a fire, that's a terrible thing to happen. Good to hear no one was hurt and I hope you did not get big damages.

I'm thinking of Minuit, too.

Thanks! It's much darker than I expected (looks just emerald glitter in the bottle with a slight duochrome shift which does not show up on the nail though) and more matte than the previous Isadora sands I've worn.
Do get Minuit! It's solo pretty!

I know what you mean, we all have our own problems. Enjoy every minute of your happiness!

I need to vent real quick... peeps on evilbay drive me nuts! Accusing me of selling used makeup as new, on top of other problems like one buyer not accepting her package and not picking it up from the post office either, wich today returned to me. I rarely put something on ebay, now I know why... I've really had enough of peoples' shenanigans the last couple of days, the ebay stuff is just the icing on the cake. I just had to let that out.

Oh no Naynadine!!! I think they're lying to try to get out of paying....that's just wrong. Maybe it's time to step away from EBay. What about Amazon. Have you tried
selling there? I don't have any experience selling on either but it might be worth a try. So sorry you have to deal with this crap!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I'll be in London on Sunday! Oxford Street mainly. Maybe if you're around we can meet up just to say hello. Don't worry if you can't / don't want to. Just an idea. And I'm really excited about the new Doctor Who too!

I must have missed it - which DL polish did you get her?


Thank you.
I got DL's Glamorous Life...it came up when I googled Rose Gold nail polish. It does look slightly but I think it could have had more rose in it. I'll have to wait to see what my daughter thinks.

Just ordered Jazzy Jubilant from Essie from eBay today, woopies. Looking forward to getting it :D

On another note, I've been wanting a large single palette (THose for refills) from Mac for the past.. two months. But its sold out and continues to be so, how annoying is that!
