I didn't know we had Color Club polishes here! I ran into them today while shopping and I went home with Warhol (it's neon!) from Poptastic Collection-first from left. It's like pink highlighter.

Ok, I've never been into nail polishes (I only had a black, a regular red, and a dark plum) but this thread has made me want to try more colours and brands . I thought Rimmel was a good brand to start with,
two coats of Rimmel's Coralicious:

Excuse the messiness, I'm a nail polish virgin.

it's better than i do it, and i am most definitely not a np virgin lol. lovely colour, goes well on you.

 

[FleurDeLys]

Oh, good then.
I like it, but now that I have it on, it's a little too bright for me. Maybe it's better for toe nails...

mmm, yeah, i'm a lot braver with bright colours on my fingers, that aren't pink. instance, i bought OPI, Feelin Hot Hot Hot, i wore it once and had to go home to take it off, i felt really ... i can't explain it lol. lovely toenail colour

 

[FleurDeLys]

What a fierce colour, I understand that you weren't comfortable wearing it in public .
But I've decided I'm not going to take it off, I'm wearing it tomorrow . I hope I won't have the urge to go home.

Everybody here has such pretty nails!

I just painted mine Totally 80s by Milani. It's a neon, but I only put on two coats (it's pretty thin). The effect is that it actually looks like a neutral, like a khaki or olive would. It's a freakin' neon green neutral! I love it. I need to buy this whole range ASAP.

Are Essie polishes widely available in Paris, and if so where? I'm visiting in a couple of weeks and thought that there was no point ordering online if I can just pick it up there

 

[Diorette]

^ I don't think they are.
I've never even heard of Essie nail polish.

I started wearing it because I wanted to follow the trend of matching lipstick / nail colour (I wear Chanel Coco Cambon). The salesperson at Sephora recommanded OPI Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot! and it is indeed quite flashy but after feeling uncomfortable the first few days, it's really growing on me!

Sephora, maybe?

FleurDeLys A really great color!

I just got Blue My Mind from H&M...LOVE it! I've been wanting it for so long. I think it's really similar to Lapis of Luxury, though a bit brighter.

I was wondering if anyone has compared the two Essie nailpolishes Mademoiselle and Hi Maintenance ?
Given the rave about Essie I'm a bit surprised that we don't have a seperate thread for Essie..

 

[Hanne]

^or how Sugar Daddy compares for that matter..
