Buick's back!
@ all of the Illamasquas.
Corally and Honey!
I know I'm late Corally. I was waiting until your actual birthday to say something. But then things got mixed up and now I'm late. So I'm telling you early Honey to not be late again.

Med, I can't quote you but I'm cracking up!
Naughty, you traveled to Dallas for nail polish? That can't be right.

I finished my Essie Going Incognito mani. The color is so sophisticated. I call it money green. Now all I need is for my palm to start itching and I'm good to go.

wait, how does this work?
I'm all over the Illamasquas! I tried the Butter London coupon earlier. It's a dud. I mean it works, but not how I thought it would. It only discounts one $15 amount from your oder, so it doesn't work on multiple sets of three. On top of that, you only get free shipping if you spend $50+. I'll do the price match at Nordstrom instead! Thanks again for that tip. I remember now that you mentioned that before. Does it work in store?

i wore snog last year in Miami. I love that color... on another note, I'm gonna cry, no Miami for me this yearI couldn't let it go and made a trip out to my Nordstom to get the Butter London polishes. I know I could've ordered them online, but I wanted to use my Nordstrom card to get the points. (I'm also trying to qualify for the Holiday party at the end of year.) I still only have my temp card because of a mix up with my address, and I can only use the temp card in store. It doesn't work online or over the phone.
Side note - I explained to my friend why I wanted to go to the store instead of ordering online. His response was, "So you're basically shopping so you can go to a party to do more shopping?" I'm like, "Yeah. You get 10 points when you normally only get 2!" I was met with a confused, blank stare.
Here's my Butter London haul:
Fiver
Kerfuffle
Molly Coddled
Slapper
Macbeth
Snog
I finally have Slapper and Macbeth. I really wanted Trout Pout, but they were sold out. I got Snog instead, but now I'm thinking I should've gotten Fruit Machine instead. I do plan to get the rest of the spring colors later. Lol, maybe like tomorrow while the sale is still going on. I can't resist a deal.

i went to sephora to return some foundation last night and looked at their polishes. which, a month ago I ignored. Friday I'm going back for the purple, blue, and maybe pink speckled Illamasqua, MILF Illamasqua, Dior and Gris Trianon. Nomad is on my list too. I didn't know it was so popular here. I have to green polish for the challenge. BUT, if I don't use these polishes, I'm not allowed to buy anything else.

It's funny, when I go look at polishes, I kinda just stare at them trying to figure out where to start and what to look at. LOL

You're on a mission Naughtyp...way to go!!! I'm going green just until March 21. Too many gorgeous spring colors to resist--obviously I can't.
I agree that Spectra is wonky today. They're either making an effort to enhance the system or its been hit by a virus. A more likely explanation is that I posted pics of myself in another thread and my face broke Specktra!

LSTB is going on my list CC! You may haul 1-3 NPs. Think Japan---think JapanI've been swatching my recently acquired polishes on my nails today. I already made nail stick swatches of them, but couldn't swatch them on my hands because of my mani. I removed it today for a polish change and decided to have a swatch fest. I love everything!
The Illamasqua speckled polishes are so dreamy. I see why so many people are doing skittle manis with them. It's hard to choose which one to wear. I'm definitely going back for the pink one. The Diors are so pretty and I'm starting to get used to the brush. I love Nirvana and the sheerness of Golden Light makes it so pretty. I can also really smell roses on my nail from Forget-Me-Not. It's neat, but weirds me out a little at the same time. You probably don't want to be caught with your fingers near your nose too often. People can get the wrong idea.
Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues is gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice. The Butter Londons and Essies are just as wonderful. I don't think I've actually worn an Essie yet, so I'm using Going Incognito for my next mani.
I think I feel another haul coming on after all this swatching.

< --- Is it weird that I really rock like that when I have attained PIP?
I think my issues are due to the Instant Artificials nail hardener I was using. I think it's responsible for staining my nails and just made them more brittle. But others have said it works great for them in reviews, so it just may not agree with my nails. My hands have also been drier because of the cold weather, so that may be a factor as well.
I'm thinking about investing in Dior Creme Abricot for my cuticles. They've been very dry even after moisturizing. I know the creme is expensive, but the reviews are great from what I've read. People also say it lasts a very long time, like up to a year. That'll make the cost more like $2/month. I think it's worth it.

Yup, I'm back! It's good to be home! Woooohoooo!
Geez peeps, you've been busy. I can't remember how many pages this thread had the last time I was here but it sure as heck wasn't 121!
That's my weekend plans sorted then: catching up on Specktra!
MRV - Great news about your Illamasquas! Mine still nowhere to be seen. I received my despatch e-mail on the 21st, so I should have received them by now. If they haven't arrived by the end of next week I'm going to send them an e-mail (to which they'll respond 3 days later with their generic "we are so sorry you haven't received your order boo hoo" message). I wasn't going to order the specklies before I got my first order but I panicked that they might sell out so I ordered them anyway. They were shipped on the 23rd. Fingers crossed...
