Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Anitacska said:

It must be very tough. I can't imagine they make a huge amount of money anyway, and especially when they both depend on the business, and have to worry about their baby's health.



Thank you!



I do wonder how many people have been put off by her last email and general attitude of late.



Very nice! You do like your KBShimmers, don't you?

I do feel the EP bubble burst some time ago.
I've been on a KBShimmer mission - this was the last of them, I've now worn all of the ones I have!
I actually can't believe how long it took, though they have not been the only brand I've been wearing of course.

Wow, that's dedication! There's only a very few brands that I've used all the polishes from, only those I've had for 6-7 years and only have a few polishes from. The brands I have loads from I've only used 20-30% of, if even that much. I've been trying to use my polishes equally, but use more of those I have most of or I have used least of. I have a whole system, lol.

I've found pictures of the EP mystery and I'm very happy I passed on it. Also there are some swatches of the other 3 too. Really don't feel like I've missed out.

I don't have many! I'm aiming for another brand next, probably Glam, but I may never finish that one...
Not fussed on any of those EPs, not horrible, but nothing special IMO. The mystery is really dull, so glad I skipped it too.

Ha! I have almost 400 Glams, I'd have to wear only Glams for a year and change my mani every day before I used them all!

I agree about the EPs, they look okay (except the creme, that's quite bleugh), but nothing special. Oh well, money saved.

My recent manis, first is ILNP My Little Glacier with Indigo Bananas Event Horizon (holo). That was one of my first ILNPs, it's really unique, but the Indigo Bananas matches it perfectly.

My current mani features another couple of oldies, Enchanted Polish Green Goblin (2012 untried) with Hare Polish Lost on Abalone Shores. I don't think I've worn any Hares in about 3 years, and I'd been wanting to wear this one for ages. Green Goblin is really cool, so holo. I know a lot of people really wanted this to come back, I'm glad it didn't as a mystery, but if she brought it back now, that would be nice for them.

So did anyone buy the mysteries? I passed. Especially as even the finishes were mysteries, and I definitely didn't want to pay $16 for a creme or shimmer! Meh.

I'm not far behind you on Glams, and I only do my nails weekly, so I expect I'll have grown bored with the attempt long before I get to the end!
Lovely manis, I don't think I own any Hares. I think I nearly bought one once, but dumped it in the end. I don't have GG, but it's a lovely vibrant green.

Here's a few recent manis. First is Girly Bits Bird is the Word with Girly Bits Budget? Fuggedaboutit!

Next is a Tonic prototype I won a while ago. It's really pretty, it has a lot going on.

Next is Femme Fatale Whispers of Velvet (thermal). This is quite old, but still works fine. Not very keen on the colour in its cold state, but the pink is pretty.

My current mani is Dance Legend Boggs with Indigo Bananas Cloudwalker (holo). I love this. Boggs is gorgeous and the IB is amazing.

It's so cold, we've even had some snow today. I'm going to put on another FF thermal. Trying to use as many as possible before the weather gets too warm for them.

These are all so nice! I love the colours you've been using recently. And Boggs is one of my all-time favourites, I'd forgotten how much I liked it till I saw your pics here.

This is fabulous, and much nicer than I expected, though it suffered from tipwear really quickly.

EP mysteries, the green is January, the purple is February. They look nice, but I don't regret not ordering.
