I wound up getting distracted from the search by the stormy iridescent nails but here's some being sold on Ebay.

Pretty! How are you finding the wear of this so far? I debated getting it a couple weeks ago.

After I saw the cool blue nail polish Beyonce was wearing in honor of her kid, I went kind of bonkers when the color, Baker Street, became available here. I ended up getting 5 bottles of Nails, Inc polish. I just tested them, and right now I'm wearing:

Baker Street
The Thames
Hampstead Gardens
Cadogan Square
Foubert's Place

Love them all except Hampstead Gardens. It's ok. Thought it would be more nude on me, but Cadogan Square is more of a true nude for me.These polishes have great coverage....one coat did it for me. Will probably wear Foubert's Place, Cadogan Square, and The Thames the most. LOVE this brand so far

The wear is nice so far (of course its only been like 2 hours).

I will have to get back to you in a couple of days. I have two nights of standing and running around at fro yo this weekend, so I should know how they stand up to use by Monday.

Yes, I plan to just take photos of all of these crazy-fun colors I'm wearing soon

It's a very true blue on me.

Nails Inc colors (No laughing at my paint job! It was done in haste, and then barely dried before I started typing a paper!):

http://i42.tinypic.com/5fovg9.jpg


And that ended up being more difficult than I thought (posting photos)! If you see any brick color around the perimeter, that's from me painting over I believe Zoya Marcella.

Searched some more for princessa....and came up with nothing. Well, I found one site that had one color, but it didn't have a picture of it. What good is that? gah!

Check out my post a few posts up. The best I could find was some ebay listings. There's some decent color selections though.

Unfortunately, no ingredients listed. But don't they look just like OPI bottles?!

thanks, it's actually just forever21 brand nail polish. it was about three bucks, and surprisingly good quality!

I really am liking this Spoiled brand. I couldn't resist trying out the pink sparkles. I'm in love. and my best friend got me SIX nail polishes for my birthday, all sparkles and glitters

Bare nails today. I made the Zoya Remove+ knockoff recipe Loodie loodie loodie posted on her blog. Of course I have nothing to compare it to but I probably will eventually because I want that big flipper bottle.

----------

Whoa! I just checked out the Kleancolor website and they have glitters with stars, hearts & moons in a few different colors! Has someone mentioned that? I vaguely remember someone mentioning stars or maybe hearts. Not sure.

I have the stars along with 30+ other bottles of their polish. Kinda went overboard. : ) Like other large size glitters you only get a few on each nail. I prefer the smaller glitters and micro glitters for more coverage but the shapes and big glitters are fun. The kleancolor metallics are especially nice.

It is much easier for me to (almost) paint within the lines. Pic of the brushes is Essie top coat brush vs Spoiled brush in Mind Your Own Beeswax.
I must agree with you totally. Last week I wore an Essie polish and did not like the brush when compared to China Glaze, OPI or Orly.

I remember your post about getting those and was sooo tempted to head over to ebay! My only big glitter is Essie Set in Stones and I agree a pain for coverage, I dab it on if I want more because it's so dang thick too. I'm more into metallics & glitters rather than creams so I just might have to check them out now.
