Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

[Anitacska]

A small haul from Rainbow Connection:



I'm trying to be good this month, so that's all I've got last week, as well as the new Femme Fatale collection and COTM, but obviously that hasn't arrived yet. I really want the new FTLOP box, but that's all I'm allowing myself now.

A few manis, first one is Femme Fatale Hypernova with Emily de Molly Pink/Orange stamping polish:



Next one is Lilypad Lacquer Magic in the Air with butterfly decals over Barry M White:



Darling Diva Prototype #2 with little fox decals using Nails Inc Portobello. I stuck the decals on upside down, so cue stupid hand poses. Also the DD polish was awful, very gritty, pulled when applied and chipped within 24 hours. Did love the fox though!



Finally, my current mani is Glam Polish Down That Rabbit Hole with Grace-full Polish Here's to More Years and snowdrop decals:



Since it's the school holidays and we don't have much on, I'm trying to do some more interesting manis. I have so many untried stamping plates and vinyls anyway, and it's fun to try and create different designs.

No, sorry. But if you're on Facebook, you could try looking for it in nail polish groups like NNR or the Lilypad group. I can give you links if you like. Btw, I do have this polish and it's very pretty (sorry, not much help I know).

Thank you. If you don't know of a dupe, then one doesn't exist! I sent a request to join NNR, but nothing yet. Is there a special fan group for Lilypad?

Hahaha, I don't know about that!

This is the Lilypad group I know of: Welcome to Facebook

Also you could ask in the nail polish dupes group about it.

Thank you for the link! And for informing me about the dupe group. I am slowly learning about these FB polish groups.

You're welcome. However I take no responsibility if you get sucked in! These groups are very dangerous.

Do any of you ladies know a dupe for Lilypad Lacquer's Peacock Flower? Sadly I'm in the US, so no ordering from Rainbow Connection.

Sorry, I'm afraid not.

Sweet haul! I always want all the Illyrians, they're on my ever-growing list.
Love your manis - Hypernova's awesome, adore the upside down foxes, and the tulips are really pretty too.

So here are my last two manis:
WingDust Collections Once In A Blue Moon -



Painted Polish - First Frost:

Thank you! Yeah, the Illyrians are always very pretty. I've just ordered the newest FTLOP box and the Illyrian in that is gorgeous too. My favourite this month is the Girly Bits though.

Thank you. No manis from you? I haven't seen any new ones in a while.

Other than the FTLOP box I also ordered 3 from the Polish Pickup shop. I hate it that there's always new LE stuff coming out! I am being pretty good this month though, really don't have money to spend on polish right now. So no new haul pictures, the few polishes I've ordered are going to Stackry or not here yet (Femme Fatales).

I have been churning out manis, although I didn't have much time / inspiration to do anything fancy in the last few days.

First one is ILNP Interstellar with Powder Perfect Never Grow Up. Not sure why I ended up with such noticeable tipwear, but the ILNP was very sheer, so maybe that's why. Weirdly the ILNP was one of my must-wear-soon polishes, but I wasn't that bowled over by it. I did love the PP so much though!



My current mani (about to come off) is CbL Courage, Brains, Heart with Nails Inc Princes Arcade (2012 untried) on the accents. The CbL is really amazing and it's so bright and holo, it freaked my camera out!



Last night I did my toes since it was 25 degrees here! Only 15 today, but I thought I might as well. I used Different Dimension Numinous.

Crossed posts! Nice manis!

Who wants to see pictures of the EP mysteries?



March isn't green! People in the FB group reckon it's a blue version of Spinkled. April is possibly Pixie Dust, but I don't know that one. I'm pretty happy with these myself. Mine have arrived at Stackry, will probably have everything sent over sometime next week.

I'll probably keep March and pass along April.

 

[Anitacska]

I'll probably keep March and pass along April.

Yeah, April is a lot less unique and I'm sure we've had a few very similar colours from EP lately.

 

[Anneri]

Argh, would've loved March.

 

[Anitacska]

Argh, would've loved March.

Yeah, it's very unique. I don't own Spinkled and never felt the urge to track it down, but this blue version is pretty cool.

 

[PearlyQueen]

Pshiiit has Pandore back in stock!

 

[Anitacska]

Happy Easter Ladies!



I did this using 5 Liquid Sky Lacquer polishes (Wisteria, Daffodil, Sugar Snap Pea, Ambridge Rose and Morning Glory). It took a while, but for a change I had some time to experiment.

 

[Anitacska]

Here's a couple other manis. First one is Anonymous Lacquer Realm of the Fae Polished for Days Sophrosyne with bonus kitty picture (that's Paws).



Also Lilypad Lacquer Pixie Potion with Femme Fatale Edge of the Cosmos. Weird thing happened when I applied topcoat onto the Lilypad, it lost all its holo and changed colour. I included one picture without topcoat on my index finger, but irl the difference was even more noticeable.



I'm just waiting for one last package to arrive at Stackry, and then I'll be sending over my stuff, there are 31 polishes in there. Just as well, as I really won't be able to buy much this month. I've looked at my finances and with loads of outgoings this past month (car mot, house insurance, children's activities - all have to be paid in advance), I really can't afford to spend hundreds on nail polish. Oh well, I'll live.

 

[Anitacska]

EP restock tomorrow evening!

 

[Anneri]

Guys, can you believe it? Mentality has returned. Go and read that obnoxious update on their site (or not, because ).

Thankfully I don't need anything from EP, but then, of course, I'm not on a plane when it goes up.
