This is so pretty! Mr. Bubble is on my WL but TBH I dislike ordering from Lush Lacquers cause it takes forever and a day to get your stuff :P


Ohh I love it! Mmm Nerds is on my preorder :graucho:


Thank you madame!

This really makes me want Exotic Encounters! I love this!

Frakin' gorgeous! :love:

Ugh I want my freaking HAREs :pout:Still no status update on tracking today! This is so pretty as usual btw. Also I can't believe you are going to file your nails. Mine were so long and I broke the middle one and had to cut them all down. To say I'm devastated is an understatement of EPIC proportions :P

I love it hun! I feel like every time I see LC's SCP I want it! I need to just cave and pick it up :P


Great pairing! Oh Riva is a PIA to track down but there are several comparisons/dupes out there but none have quite "gotten it" down if that makes sense. I'd love a little Chanel Riva in my life too and not for springs but for another pairing ;)


This is stunning! I feel like WPT is one of the best glitter topcoats I own! I've never heard of Contrary polish though :smile:

Love it!

Thanks VSG!! Still no Hare for you? It's been almost 2 weeks?? Is it stuck somewhere here in California ???

Soooo I ended up with a case of NOTD ADD today, and had to swatch all of my Happy Hands polishes :lol:

1 coat Flowers on the Highway over 2 coats of a grey from Strangebeautiful Vol I

1 coat The Swamp over 2 coats of Julep - Georgia

aaaaand my favorite:
2 coats Springs over 2 coats Chanel - Riva(these two polishes are a match made in heaven. I only have a decant of Riva though, time to start ebay stalking or dupe hunting, hahahaha)

Riva + Springs are a perfect pairing! Love the others! Cheers bc now I will need the quad (Springs is on the way! Afternoon Thunderstorms I really want after seeing yours has more golden glow on it!)

Also Riva's dupes are Eyeko's Pastel Polish, Sephora Opi's Havana Dreams, China Glaze "Moody blues" :biggrin:

wohlgie said:
Ummm, I have both too. What does that say about me???? ;) :P :biggrin:

Says you have more NOTDs in the future :hugs: miss your nails!!

Sorry I had to take off my Hare coz I was pretty excited that I got the set of Contrary Polish.

Here's Purple Smoke - 2 coats ... wish it had a bit stronger shimmer but love the color !!

Topped with a coat of RH The Worst Possible Thing.

I love this combo more!!!!!

wohlgie said:
Vi, yet once again, this is stunning!!! Wow! I filed my nails down quite a bit this morning, I think that yours are longer than mine now. ;)

Vi - makes me miss mine ;)

Maxboomba said:
Thanks E!!! I need to file mine down tomorrow .. Just too long for me to be able to do anything !! :smile:

Awwwww :giggles: Can't wait til mine grows back!

StefaniNYC said:
Wow! That looks great on you! Is there anything that you don't make look good?:biggrin:

Oranges!!! I don't think Vi likes looking darker :giggles: I can pull off subtle corals though... We have similar tastes + skin tones ;)

Here is two coats of Irrestistibly Promise. Very pretty and subtle!

Yay! I do love the subtle milky ones ;)

What do you use to do gradients ? makeup sponges or just the nail polish ?

I use the polish brush and dab. But to make sure I pick up more in one swipe, turn bottle upside down, rub together in the palms for a 1 min or two. Turn it back up and use. Youll end up wirh more on the brush. Repeat steps to get more polish glitter in one swipe.

Then use toothpick to drag out some (while newly applied) to make it seem like it "rained" on the nails. Very useful for big ones like hearts or chunky hexes. Always start at the very end of tips, at the sides or at the bottom - ways to gradient are endless ;)


Here's my avatar pic - reposting! My fave gradient manicure :biggrin:

ASCALON + MALLARD

Also how I became friends with both Adina + Mel from CC = this manicure caused so many craves on their inboxes, twitter & facebook :giggles:

Those Contrary polishes look interesting! and I love The Worst Possible Thing. Even though I always get the name wrong (I call it the Worst Thing Possible). Can you tell I was never a MLP kid? :biggrin:

I'm really hanging out for this to arrive this week - it looks stunning! I have an outfit in mind for a friend's birthday this weekend which would look amazing with this mani.

2 coats of Happy Hands - Afternoon Thunderstorm over 1 coat of Essie - Chinchilly.

I swatched them all before deciding that I needed a full afternoon thunderstorms mani to match the current stormy weather outside, and they are alllll so amazing! Definitely recommend this brand if you've been debating them/unsure. (not affiliated, just a fan)

Thanks again to my anonymous polish fairy for Afternoon Thunderstorms and Springs! :heart:33 :love:

Love it!

Wow so many great manis!! I have SO much to catch up on! I hardly had anytime this weekend to check up on the tpf!

I wish I could individually quote everyone, but there's just too many!! I thought I had them all quoted, but then I missed a few and didn't want to leave anyone out! So....I want to say that you all have gorgeous nails!

Here's my indie NOTD!

China Glaze Exotic Encounters with CrowsToes Katnip glitter gradient! Hehe had to steal the idea from you Maxboomba :P

This is actually like my second attempt at a glitter gradient...still need a little more practice!

I love Katnip so much I cannot even begin to explain. And I don't even have it yet!
 
Here is two coats of Irrestistibly Promise. Very pretty and subtle!

Very pretty!

Jellybean with matte top coat!

I love this matte! I so wish that I could wear yellow - this is such a pretty polish on you.

Here is my NOTD, speaking of yellow. This is 2 coats of The Polish Bar - Citrus Squeeze over Gelish It's a Lily. The only way I can wear yellow or orange is to wear it over a base of pink or red! :biggrin:
