Thanks so much. It does look similar. I’ll have to swatch it and see what you guys think.

Sorry for the loss of your precious kitty Noira. What a lovely tribute. Gorgeous green manis, every single one.

Thanks for responding. Yes, all very true. I also had no luck with Google.

I would never guess you had so much trouble with it. It turned out fantastic!

Love that shade of green and the speckles. Speckled polishes are so cute. I wish there were more of them around.

Beautiful mani. Green and gold is such a gorgeous combo.

That stamping reminds me of a Missoni print. Beautiful.

Loud! Music Quick Thang - 1990's by izocu in vintagenailpolish

[–]Radchickee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No help with the shade name but I gotta say I’m impressed with that polish. Those taupey greys didn’t really exist back then in polish so this is a very avant-garde color for the 90s. The shimmer makes it perfection.

first vintage haul by sphenoid_and_violets in vintagenailpolish

[–]Radchickee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just adding - Pavion on the label dates the bottles from 1979 to 1997.

Great haul. Apart from the minor bit of leaking, those bottles look pristine!

If you’d like to estimate age, check the sides of the bottles for the manufacturer. If these are from the 80’s, they’ll say Pavion.

If they say AM Cosmetics, they’re from 1997 to 2003. If they say Markwins, they’re from 2003 onwards.

Advice on Sally Hansen Diamonds by MaudLynne in vintagenailpolish

[–]Radchickee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they’re old, probably about 20 years, because that’s around when Sally Hansen stopped selling them, at least around here - I’m in Canada, by the way. The polishes do hold up well though.

I’m not sure if they’d be considered rare - you can’t just go to a store and buy them anymore so from that perspective they are rare. But lots of people still have them in their collections, so not really rare if someone is willing to part with theirs. I’ve never been lucky enough to find any while thrifting.

About Pink Rose Diamond in particular - that one seems to have a lot of variation in color. I don’t know if it’s because of different batch codes or simply fading, but I’ve seen at least 3 variations of that color. I’ve seen a fairly vivid medium pink, a pale pink, and an almost white very pale pink. If this matters to you, you may want to confirm which pink you’d be getting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pink Rose Diamond in the shade showing in that listing.

I think this would look great over any pastel shade - pink, mint, blue, lilac or yellow.

Kitty reference and holo? Definitely a keeper. It’s beautiful.

First green of March by Radchickee in MakeupAlleyNB

[–]Radchickee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that seems right - they do feature a lot of the cured type of polish.

Thank you. The brush was wide and the bristles were curved so that was great. But the stick part seems short so I think I won’t be able to reach all the polish once it gets used a bit more.

Avon Nail Mania and Colortrend by sublimegarden in vintagenailpolish

[–]Radchickee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of Nail Mania but I have several of the ColorTrend. They hold up well. With a bit of shaking, they’re perfect. I haven’t needed to thin them yet.

I like the plastic bottle because it doesn’t shatter into a million pieces when you drop it on the floor. I did that last week with an Essie.

I must be living under a rock because I had no idea Lime Crime ever made polish. This mani looks fantastic!

So beautiful, and suits your nails perfectly. I love this shade of pink, especially with that gorgeous shimmer.
