Formula X Extraordinary – iceberg grey
Nothing on fingernails. Toe nails are bare for a faint line of gold on one nail from a January pedicure.
Oh I love Mermaid’s Dream! I have OPI’s Aloha From OPI! on my toes, but nothing on my fingers either. I just took off Illamasqua Speckle the other day though.
Hi, Meghan,
my toes are also painted in Aloha from OPI. My fingernails wore the same a week ago, but since they are brittle, they only wear a clear coat now.
I just removed the polish from my fingernails last night, but only applied my nail treatment products and base coat. Left my toes alone, though. So they still have Orly Gumdrop with a transparent duochrome topper by Sally Hansen ( that bottle is about 10 years old, lol). Tomorrow I may just put neon purple on…or perhaps something Derek friendly? ?
Nothing! I’ve been bouldering for a while and no nail polish can survive the scratches form the wall 🙁
Nailhür square-shaped veneers in Galaxy on my fingernails; Zoya Remy on my toenails.
Zoya Pink from the Naked Manicure System.
Fingers – Essie hors d’oeuvres
Toes – OPI Linkin Park after dark
Butter London’s HRH, a lovely metallic purple. It was on sale in Ulta last week. Not sure if it still is.
My last day wearing/testing Sonia Kashuk’s Roll with the Punches which is a cobalt blue. Tomorrow I’m switching (to test) Sonia Kashuk’s On the Ropes.
Essie Taj-Mah-Haul
Picture Polish Wanderlust, described as a candy pink scattered holo with glass blue specks. It’s pretty, lol.
Illamasqua Venous on my toes. My fingernails are taking a break right now!
CrowsToes Huginn & Muninn
Nothing:(
My fingernails are bare right now.
Baroness X “Dark Forest”! Dark hunter green with holo. Spooky!
Fingers – Sonia Kashuk Rain Check and Deborah Lippmann Don’t Tell Mama on my ring fingers
Toes – L’Oreal Crazy for Chic and Maybelline Color Show Gilded Rose
I use my least favorite polishes and polishes that don’t work on my fingernails on my toes instead like the L’Oreal polishes I own (thankfully it’s only 2)
Nothing. In theory, I love nail polish. In practice, it lasts about two seconds on my nails, so I only polish my nails every once in a while.
ILNP Juliette on fingers and a color from the Sephora Aladdin set (a berry color) on toes. Changing tonight to get ready for vacation, though. Probably Orly Cabana Boy on both so I only need to take one color for touch-ups!
Illamasqua Radium, and I have worn this colour more than once. I have so much nail varnish, I have a lot I haven’t even tried them, but I love, love, love Illamasqua.
I forgot to mention my toes, I have Nails Inc, The New White, Lily Road, as a base and Nails Inc Alexa Lace on top, so it does have a red lace effect.
A sparkly red gel manicure. I love it but it’s past its best and needs to come off!
Funny I have DL’s Mermaids dreams on my nails with a Starrily turquoise glitter polish on the accent nail, and DL’s mermaids kiss on my toes!
Nothing
A classic combo of red and navy blue makes for a retro nautical look 🙂
Feet: OPI in “Love Is in my Cards”
Hands: Essence The Matt gel polish in 22 “I Love my Blue Jeans”
Zoya naked in the pinkish color
Wow! I’ve discovered dipping powder nail polish by SNS. My manicurist now carries it. If you haven’t seen/done it, it’s an incredible thing. Base goes on, then you dip in POWDER and it adheres like perfectly applied polish. Multiple coats and it’s like iron. This current manicure has lasted nearly three weeks, and it still looks fresh. I’m wearing the SNS color Drama Queen.
Also, so UV light to sure like gel polish, should that matter to you.
Scarlett O’Hara by Essie
One of the Zoya Pixie Dust polishes, the purple one, with a coat of top coat.
Nothing like everytime…i cant imagine if i start to wear nail polish where i gonna be? im sure that i can be able to buy like 100 of this babies! too much colors that you can love!!! more than lipsticks!! so…im pretty good like iam 🙂
Madam Glam Color Changing Soak off Gel polish in Dive and Dream on fingernails. (when cold dark turqoise, when warm seafoam)
Madam Glam Polish in Beyond Gorgeous on toenails. (Blue and Grey glitter)
Tom Ford Blackout baby!
Oh yeah, and China Glaze Liquid Leather on my toes. 🙂
Bio seaweed gel in the color toffee. I bought it from a stand in the Dragon convention. It’s a gel nail polish that can be cured with the uv lamps or SUNLIGHT! It takes about 1 minute and it’s set. Pretty expensive for 1 bottle, plus shipping, but it’s the same you would pay at the salon for the gel treatment on nails.
Rimmel’s out of the blue.
Harmony Gelish Don’t Be Such a Sourpuss
Zoya Neely, a minty green
Milani Pink Suede topped off with Sinful Colors Pinky Glitter. Very springy. I made a boo-boo on my base, covered it up with a pinky glitter (very subtle) and good to go.
Gosh – Oceanic.
Oddly enough, just yesterday I was looking into Mermaid’s Dreams dupes, as I’m in the mood for a seafoam green nail polish. Gosh’s Oceanic is the closest I could find in my collection.
GelInc bright pink base and top coats
Smith and Cult Suburban Warrior, Chanel Tutti Frutti on my toes!
China Glaze Tarty for the Party
Essie’s Summit of Style on my fingernails.. I’m in gold sparkly heaven 🙂
On my toenails, All Fired Up by Sally Hansen. The bottle is about 10 years old, still works amazingly well
Orly Wonder Woman on my nails (for Memorial Day).
Kind of of embarrassed to say Klyie Jenner sinfulcolors in Kameleon it is pretty I wound have gotten it even if her name wasn’t on there
Essie Marshmallow (my all time favorite classic color)
Had my nails done last Tuesday and I’m wearing Strawberry Fields by China Glaze.
OPI Nail Envy in Hawaiian Orchid
Nothing. It is a shame because I am a nail polish Junkie and have hundreds of nail polish.
But at the Moment I am soooo lazy. I Love painting my nails but I hate removing it. And because I like my nails very short I have to cut them very often and before I have to Take Off the nail polish. So I would have to Paint and take Off 2 Times a week.
But I have to get over this lazy time very soon because my nail polishes Are waiting.
By the way: I am looking for something to remove my cuticles without using this Wood thing. I don’t want to push them back. Maybe something to put on and wash off.
Morgan Taylor gel polish
Nothing – I have just cleaned off an OPI Copper colour.

OPI I’m Sooo Swamped! Such a beautiful green. ^-^
Essie Fringe Factor on my fingers, Essie Very Structured on my toes.
This is one of the very rare times I have polish on my fingernails, and that’s Deborah Lippmann’s Dream Weaver.
On my left foot I’m wearing “Rolling in the Deep,” and on my right “Mermaid’s Dream” — both also Deborah Lippmann.
Weird … I just reread this thread; how many people said they’re wearing Mermaids’s Dream? At least four, right?
OPI Strawberry Margarita love love love, my second bottle of this perfect bright pink
Nothing at the moment! But I just removed a rainbow mani for Pride.
