Nail polish threads.

lulu2 — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 14:45:37 GMT

For a long time we had a thread where ladies posted the color polishes they were wearing. One poster in particular changed color on a daily basis.

We also had Lola's NOTW thread with personal comments to all responders.

I am a polish addict and miss these threads tremendously. I cannot be the only one here.

Generally I am not a red girl, but this week went with DL's Just Walk Away Renee, (I loved that song way back when) on both my fingers and toes. I like it. My girl uses my Vinylux top coat and I'm set for the week.

Anyone else care to share.

I am sporting OPI Extravagance, a gorgeous deep magenta with a bit of sparkle dust in it, just a tiny bit of it. This is one of their specialty polishes that comes with a silver top. This goes on very smooth and has lasting power.

Right now I'm wearing CND's Masquerade, a red-brown shade on my fingers. My toes are an OPI shade, Shimmery Chic

every week for my nails. If im wearing my real diamonds it is always OPI Slippers, and if i wear my paste it is A line called Lippman in a Sheer Oyster.

I wore more deeps in my 60 's and enjoyed but I feel free with paler shades

Very pretty Shel. I knew I could count on you to contribute.

I'm wearing Sephora's Formula X Brushed Metallics in Prophecy.

You can see swatches of the entire Brushed Metallics collection in this review on the I'm a Beauty Geek blog.

I have not seen these Formula X polishes. In the past I have not had a lot of luck with matte polishes because they suggested no top coat. (I do have an Essie matter top coat but it didn't work well over already matte polish)

Thanks for responding. When I wear sheer, I feel nekkid so end up with 3 coats.

I am personally against pink-washing things for BCA. I find the whole idea of companies selling pink items just to be linked with a good cause to be very upsetting, especially companies that have anti-woman policies (NFL) or make or use products linked to cancer or other health risks (pink fracking drills, Susan Komen KFC buckets of chicken). I would rather use my words to talk to people about it that wear or purchase anything pink.

I am familiar with both those shades and think they are very pretty.

I have 1 cocker!

You can never go wrong with "Waitress". I believe it is the most popular shade of red.

OT: lulu2, I've loved cockers since the early 50's The elderly couple next door had Penny, so sweet and cuddly. My 2 are partis, red-white and dark brown-white.

I wear my new Kate Spade pink handbag and pink shoes. Nailpolish varies based on my mood. To day I had orange red, but bag is still pink!

Hi lulu, thanks for the shout out! I thought I might post a NOTW tomorrow.

One thing I like about not posting a new mani every week is having the freedom to repeat favorites, and I like it so much, I've been wearing the one I'll show tomorrow for almost a month!

Hope you've been well, I too am a survivor and just try to endure all the October hype. Oct. 9th was my 14th anniversary, and I consider it a good thing that it passed this year without my even thinking of it!

"See you" tomorrow -- everyone is welcome!

i have been in a nail polish rut. i discovered a polish made by finger paints and i fell in love with it. the color is pass the picasso( its a greyish-purple) and i have been wearing it for months on end. i cannot seem to tire of it, and i get so many compliments on it that i KNOW it will become my signature polish. this week, however, i stepped out of the box and tried (eeeeek) something different. i am wearing a light color; sally hansen 'boardwalk'. it has been on my hands for two days, and i betcha that i have pass the picasso back on my nails before monday.

thanks for the thread, lulu!
