It's mostly stuff bought from Wal-Mart, Target, or Sally Beauty Supply. Brushes(and more brushes), dotting tools, and striping tape. I've also occasionally cut shapes into scotch tape (but I've found that I have to tape two layers together or it sometimes tears when peeling off).
As for brands, it started with a crapload of Sinful Colors, but I've also used Kleancolor (metallic and neon), Sally Hansen (which I'm really liking for ease of use), as well as Fingerpaints (Chromatic Creation is my favorite and introduced me to the holo effect) and a few bottles of China Glaze. At this point I now have about 118 different bottles (I tend to dive into stuff).
I think /u/mewfasa should be gifted some nail polish because she lost web dev job and her two supposedly best friends as well.
If I can nominate more than one person, I also think /u/MeghanAM should be gifted because she didn't get the job, so nail polish might cheer her up as well.
Many of the bundle monster sets are available on Amazon, I'm a big fan of their polishes and plates. (The nature and horror sets are my favorites, the blogger collaborations are great as well)
For stampers, I'd recommend something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Transparent-Christmas-Template-Manicure-Accessories/dp/B01MDVI14A/
Or maybe a starter kit like this: https://www.amazon.com/BMC-Beginnings-Nail-Stamping-Starter/dp/B073XY7MFB/
I use a set like this for cleanup: https://www.amazon.com/Plaid-Learn-Natural-Bristle-10-Piece/dp/B00J8HCPC2/
For cheap polishes that stamp really well (that aren't technically stamping polishes) this set is one of my favorites. I don't recommend using them as a base polish, but they are great for nail art and stamping. https://www.amazon.com/Kleancolor-Nail-Polish-Metallic-Bodycare/dp/B00AVP37G8/
As already mentioned, Born Pretty sells a lot of their plate sets/stamping polishes on Amazon. I'm a big fan of those as well.
And this is not for stamping, but it might be something you want for a doticure! https://www.amazon.com/Dotting-Marbleizing-Manicure-Pedicure-Ounce/dp/B004OHQR1Q/
This is the latex I use, I just paint it on with a brush: https://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Latex-16-Fluid-Ounces/dp/B004WCMKA0/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1504549993&sr=8-3&keywords=liquid+latex
If you have Amazon Prime this is the best bang for your buck! 4 oz refill plus .5 oz bottle:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0027VCNGO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Nu8IDbTDMBMHF
I like this one but shipping is a bitch.
There is an indie polish maker in my country that will custom make any polish you describe to her for about 13-14$ including shipping within the country but that's not on amazon. But I guess I can get that myself in a few months when I have money for it in a few months(neon pink with neon blue hexes including massive ones YAY)
I need to search amazon more and finally find something decently priced + decent shipping for my own sake so I can buy stuff without eventually being 100% broke.
EDIT: ESSIE GLITTER neon peach CG
Meh not expecting to win but window shopping is somewhat entertaining haha.
My boyfriend bought me two of these I have decent counter space in the bathroom so that's where they are.
action shot! he only bought me one at first. He realized he had made a huge mistake when he tried to fit them all.
Unfortunately I've again run out of space..I think I'm going to invest in a wall hanging rack next. And then no more polish, I swear! ;)
Honestly, even though it's not designed for it, use makeup organizers. I use these two things mostly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I53EGGS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
and two of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W8XLAM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
My paint area is pretty organized with these, plus a few little other miscellaneous things.
I'm not the original person you were talking to but I wanted to share my base and top coat because I love their longevity.
These are my nails after 4 days wear.
I have done dishes and laundry every day, and my job is practically typing for 8 hours.
The picture is of my dominant hand, and I have not reapplied my top coat at all.
I swear by Orly's Bonder as a base coat and Poshe for my top coat. They're amazing and last so long I feel bad removing my manicures because they're still decent.
Poshe dries suuuuper fast too.
You can tell I've REALLY thought about this...
Name: Heirloom Cosmetics (Very vintage and Victorian looking packaging, lots of heirloom roses on the packaging as well, lots of beautiful looking things!)
Slogan: "Not your mamma's makeup."
Heirloom cosmetics has VERY bright colors and very pigmented cosmetics, all packaged in classy vintage holders!
Best Seller: The classic "Not Your Mamma's Palette". Half neutral shades (browns, tans, whites, blacks, etc) and half bright, beautiful neons and pastels.
Aaaand if I win... China Glaze's Sun of a Peach.
1: I had a little girl around 5 at my daycare named Lily who was just smart as a whip, and for some reason she just loved me. Since she was another workers child she would always be there early, so we would color together or play with playdough while we waited for others to arrive, and I imagine that had something to do with it.
Anyway, she was friends with my niece, and ended up coming to her birthday party at a nature park. One of the activities was a scavenger hunt when the children were supposed to pick an adult and go for a walk in the woods to collect various naturey things. When it came time to pick she immediately calls out "I pick miss Michelle!" and her mother just gives her just the saddest look. Lilly looks at her mother and says in an incredibly grown up and calming tone "Now just because I didn't pick you doesn't mean I don't love you, I just don't get to see miss Michelle as much." her mother nods, seemingly placated, and we totally nail the scavenger hunt ;)
2: Zoya Godiva is so demure and elegant, but still has some nice sparkle to it, so it is never boring. I also really love the Zoya Intimate collection, especially Jules and Dove.
3: I've never had to dress business casual before, but one thing I do know is the air conditioning will probably be up way too high most of the year, so cardigans are probably a good bet!
4: Mod lacquer Satire, I'm addicted to corals and jellies. For a non indie I've been lusting after Sparking Garbage for months now.
Good luck on and congratulations on your new job!
Just start painting your nails and you will figure out what works best for you eventually. I've compiled a list of helpful links/videos that I've found helpful for me.

The trick when you use stripping tape is to make sure your polish isn't old and too goopy, otherwise it will not be so crisp.

One of my friends is a nail fiend and swears by Seche Restore. I haven't used it personally so I can't speak for the results, but it's saved a few of her polishes.
Fairy Dust by China Glaze. If I wasn't sads about losing it, I would use it SO MUCH. OMG it is the PERFECT one for me.
And
I am DYING to get Harley and Ivy omg. Two reasons.
I am weird.
I found you :)

Just buy a shelf.
I use this on top of a book case for mine: http://i.imgur.com/A5VFaTu.jpg
The smaller rack to the right holds 24 of the small vials, and the larger rack has 5 shelves, able to hold god knows how many bottles. I haven't tried to fill it up yet.
Not only is it organized, but I can locate whatever I need with ease...

China Glaze ~ It's a Trap-eze Reminds me of birthday cake, it's nice!
China Glaze ~ Rendezvous With You Gorgeous purple with silver undertones, it applies really nice too.
I am a makeup lover, I only own about three shades of polish but would love to have more! Check out my wl I have both makeup & nail polish items. I have been wanting this polish so I can do riddler inspired nails.
You're amazing thank you for this contest & welcome to the sub.
Here's a link to it! :D
I've been using Orly Bonder base coat for months. MONTHS now. It's pretty fantastic and my manis last a while. Plus I've had no issues with staining.
For top coat I use Seche Vite. It honestly seems like most people like it but there's also a majority out there who prefer other coats. I tried going the cheap route for quick drying top coats and they all disappointed me. (Never have tried Out The Door though.)
I'm grateful for kind strangers. Whether they flash a smile, hold a door open, or gift people on the internet, the world needs more of them.
stitchinbitchinlovesme!
I actually love giving manicures to friends and family. My mom once brought me to her patient's house to paint the nails of 3 little girls. Cutest thing ever!
As for tips, some of it is really product quality/chemistry. I recommend two specific products: Orly Bonder as a base coat and Seche Vite as a topcoat.
The base coat prevents your nails from staining, and this one is rubberized (it feels sticky if you touch it), so polish adheres really well. This top coat dries your nails in about 60 seconds. I am an idiot and always have to pee right after I finish my nails. I can actually do that with SV. This combo has been able to make almost every nail polish I use last as long as I want it to last (for me, up to 7 days, but usually closer to 4).
To prevent chipping, it's important to use as few thin layers as possible. Thicker polish chips easier. The best polishes are ones that are heavily pigmented, but thin. I could probably suggest several based on your favorite colors. But my favorite brand is probably China Glaze. Oh! Also to prevent chipping and peeling, don't flood the cuticles. I leave a small amount of space as a border on my nail. You can see it pretty well here, especially on the thumb. I do this either by being sparing with my application or taking a paintbrush dipped in acetone and cleaning up the edges when I'm finished. It thins out the sides, making the polish less able to peel up from the edges.
Try Orly Bonder as your base coat. I could never get my nail polish to not chip after a day or two before this stuff. I once had a normal, non-gel mani last 13 days with this stuff.
I could definitely use this base coat, I'm totally out and my manis are chipping so quickly! I haven't used this one yet but Orly has great products so I figure it's gotta be at least ok :-D I'd prefer Orly Bonder but it's a bit over budget so it'll have to wait.
(On this wishlist <3)
Sparkles Orly bonder is my last hope for making my nail polish last more than a day.
broadway!
this seche restore is on my wishlist, 5.19 and free shipping :)
My favorite youtuber probably changes on a daily basis. Most recently i was digging on todrick hall and this video, Beauty and the Beat, starring such youtube sensations as GloZell and Antoine Dodson. Never gets old :)
Seche Vite is amazing!! When it gets low, it becomes a little hard to use, I highly recommend adding their Restore to your wishlist. It really helps extend the life of that bottle. Have fun!!
getchu some of dis
It's the Seche Vite! The acetone-cleaning should help, but using too thick of a layer of Seche makes this peeling happen, I think. Try going easier on the topcoat. If you've had it for a while, and it's getting a little goopy, I'd also invest in a bottle of Seche Restore thinner.
Also, I'm not sure, but is the topcoat peeling off in its own layer as well? Like, leaving the polish under it behind? Because this issue can also be solved by letting your nails dry less before you put the Seche on.
You need this
1 cent over... Damn
Hey! So a couple questions first:
So, if you do have Seche Vite (and not clear), I would try taking it back and saying you got a bad bottle. Try to return it and say that it's your first experience with it and you expected it to work "up to par," even though it was on sale. Stuff on sale should be there to save you money, not on sale because it's shitty, right? Maybe out of season, but not defective, unless there's some kind of warning on it. So yeah, I would try to return it.
I have gone through quite a few bottles of Seche Vite myself, and I find that buying Seche Restore is super helpful for when it starts to get goopy. It's a nail polish thinnner, designed to keep the same properties as SV (Restore can be used with any polish, but not any thinner can be used with Seche Vite- does that make sense?)
Anyway, this is one huge freakin wall of text, but I hope it helps! Let me know if you have more questions or if something I said isn't clear :)
I really hope you feel better
Thank you for the contest ; )

Requiem for a Dream!
It is truly a great film- amazing cinematography, haunting score, superb character development and connection. It definitely can be depressing, but I think the film's themes about loss, desperation, and unfulfilled dreams are just so poignant.
I really could go on and on and on about this film- and I actually have in other contests that ask about favorite movies, hehe. But I won't bore you this time! ;)
Seriously though, if you haven't seen this movie yet. Watch it. Watch it right now! =D
Here's my $5 item: some China Glaze nail polish
And here's my $20 item: These awesome reflectors! I'm a newbie photographer, and these reflectors would help me out so much with the work I'm trying to become skilled at. =D
Thank you so much for hosting this contest, by the way! As amazing as it would be to gift a $20 item to someone, I feel like it's really fun to spread the wealth! My vote is for four $5 gifts! Thanks again! =)
Congratulations! :)

Kleancolor Nail Polish. I've found that the metallics are especially opaque and cover in just one coat. And they're very inexpensive. Here's a link for a 12 bottle set of full sized bottles for $13.44 at Amazon. Free shipping for Prime members. Here is the link.
Yaaay I am so glad you are done! It's summertime!
I hope we get to play much Animal Crossing together!

Is it possible that you've only seen the red and gold because you haven't angled it enough? I can see all the colors easily just looking at my bottle, but on my nails I have to twist and turn them more to get the colors to change. I'm not sure what else it could be, because you're right, it really would be weird for them to make a fake of a cheap polish.
Does your polish smell worse than most polishes? Mine has a pretty strong, unpleasant scent. Maybe another clue.
Someone tape junigole's mouth shut!
It was a smaller incident with me but it was something that stuck with me since. I was a teen and known to have a foul mouth on my good days (still do) but when I was angry I got louder and fouler. So one day my Mom and I are arguing at her office - about what I have no idea, I was an unmedicated bipolar teen at the time and we didn't know - so I go into an office to grab something, continuing to say whatever I want to say to her, and as I walk out I start another tirade with full-on cussing. I'm looking down as I walk and talk and as I reach her I look up and see a client standing there with her and they both look at me with wide eyes like I have two heads.
I stop and stare for a minute and then mutter an apology and hide in the office for the rest of their meeting and the rest of the day. I apologized to my Mom and things smooth over, like they always did. Now I'm very aware of what I'm saying and around whom, even when I might be in the middle of a tirade. I have looser boundaries about what I can say where, and my mouth still bothers my Mom sometimes, but overall it made me a lot more aware of my surroundings and my mouth... especially around strangers.

My favorite that I own is Ruby Wing Electric Firefly. In the shade it's neon yellow with a blue shimmer. In the sun it's neon orange with the same shimmer (I have glitter over it in my photos). Two neons in one!!!

Welcome!!! I love baking too! This is an awesome idea for a contest, what are your answers to the questions?
I'm in school to be a vet tech and am also a shelter volunteer, so I know this problem too. My best advice is to keep everything moisturized, including the nails. Use a good cuticle cream (I like LUSH's lemony flutter or Burts Bees lemon cuticle balm). I've noticed that my nail polish lasts longer when I take care of that. I've also had good luck with a sticky base coat like ORLY Bonder. It's hard to find a combination that will stand up to this kind of wear, though. I usually have to redo my nails if I've been doing a lot of cleaning/sanitizing or wearing gloves for long periods, like in lab.
It's different for everyone cos we all have slightly different chemistry/oiliness/lengths/shapes.... For me, I use a ridge filling base coat, any colour polish (I don't think buying the more expensive ones is worth it unless they are unique colours) but I SWEAR by the Seche Vite topcoat because it dries so quickly and lasts better than most others I've tried. (I recommend the topcoat restorer too cos the top coat gets thick and clumpy in the bottle really quickly.)
Also: many thin coats is annoying, but works better than one thick coat
Restore?
Seche Vite! or Seche Restore
Honestly, I haven't done a thing and most of them just last. Some cheaper off-brand or drugstore brand ones that are like 15+ years old have dried but most do not. I have some that are easily 20 years old that my mom gave me and the formula is still perfect. You could also get some seche restore and I have been told it works wonders. I have never tried it personally, though.
Best thinner ever http://www.amazon.com/Seche-Restore-Laquer-Restoration-Thinner/dp/B0017ZDH52/ref=sr_1_3?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1346621429&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=seche+restore+2
Oh, you need Seche Restore! It's a thinner designed for SV and will get it right back to like it was when it was new.
They have it at Sallys! I bought mine from amazon! Not a bad price either :)
We can look like a Rockstar with essie Cute as a Button (It's 90c over D: ) or this Awesome stainless steel.
CG Fairy Dust has been a love of mine forever! It's just gorgeous(:
China Glaze Fairy Dust!
This CG Fairy Dust for $4.50 because it says it's discontinued, and I'll die if I don't get it before it's gone. Lol. And I clearly feeling very dramatic today.
some of my faves include:
China Glaze: Lorelei's Tiara
China Glaze: Ruby Pumps
OPI: I Have a Herring Problem
OPI: Blue My Mind
Essie: Stylenomics
Essie: Sugar Daddy
OPI: Hotter Than You Pink
thats what comes to mind at first. I'm also really into glitter toppers and stuff, Sinful Colors makes some awesome ones that are holiday themed (Halloween, Christmas etc) but amazon has slim pickings of those. if you have a Walgreen's or target near you, check there for those!
Thanks Santa for hosting this!
AAAHHHHH!!!! NEEEED!!!! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0026NR37W/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_1?colid=3PMQD8UH1GJDW&amp;coliid=I1D3NY4CJIH2S0&amp;vs=1

Is this what you got?
If you wanna buy Seche Vite I would buy it on Amazon. I've went though about 2 1/2 bottles since September. Its my go to since I do stamping. I can't get any of the other topcoats to not smudge my art. [Its a ton cheaper on Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Seche-Vite-Shine-Professional-Refill/dp/B0027VCNGO/ref=sr_1_4?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451488771&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=seche+vite)
I did indeed get it from Amazon! The giant Seche Vite was like $12, and the Restore was too! :)
Woof, that is WAY more expensive! I got a bottle of 4oz+a .05 seche bottle on amazon for $13. Eventually, I'll try getting a small bottle of HK to see if it's a huge fifference for me. For now I'm very happy with how seche looks and gpfeels as long as I dont use it on white polish. I use Out the Door with any designs that have white in them, usually.
I would say spring for the Seche restore, and if you are going though a bottle that often, order the professional Seche Vite kit from amazon. $15 for a 4pz bottle plus a .5oz vs $45 for that much if you buy it a small bottle at a time. You will want the restore if you go that route though, the instructions say to restore your little bottle with a few drops before filling it up. But just think, no more dealing with trying to reach far enough into the bottle! I picked up the kit this month and am super pleased with it so far.
I love this manicure!
This polish would be adorable on an eskimo :)
Thanks for this contest, all of these manicures are awesome!
I want this nail polish so much! Its such a pretty color! And I dont own anythin like it!

I feel like mine is pretty out of control, in that I only started a nail-specific wishlist about a week ago & it's already 4 pages long. I'm lusting over a whole host of Chanel colours, specifically Graphite & Black Pearl. But also Butter London's Gobsmacked & Tart with a Heart. And, I'm dying to get my hands on some Matte About You.
Realistically, my next purchase will likely be China Glaze's Some Like It Haute and/or Concrete Catwalk.

Good luck to everyone!
I thought so, too, as soon as I saw it on Amazon. ;)
I didn't discover Polish Gauntlet until the indie box was already under way. I am bummed to miss out on it :( Hopefully the next one!
I love pastel colors, so spring polishes are some of my favorites. I never took pictures of any manis I did until recently, so I don't have any manis that I've done, but I [saw so many cute ones on instagram] ( http://imgur.com/a/qUN0V) and I'm totally copying them.
[China Glaze Tart-t to the Party] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B3URSB0/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_2?colid=3IOW2XII259ED&amp;coliid=I16KY8W6TF03VR)

And [this polish from Superchic Lacquer] ( https://www.etsy.com/listing/214566731/cold-hands-warm-hugs-nail-polish-frozen?ref=hp_mod_rf) has captured my heart. I've never tried this brand, but this is so pretty!

SHIT IS INSANE. You're heart's going to explode soon if you don't slow down.
Did the daughter, car, check receipt drama ever steady it self? A vacations sounds nice at least, once you're there and all.
If I were to somehow be smiled down upon by the polish gods, I would ask for this. I just realized I don't have any toppers except for glitters!

Oh, and tomorrow (5/19) is my CAKE DAY!!! This would make such a great cake day present! And it would only come to about $4.88 so someone else could be polished as well :D
I have been getting into doing my own nails and nail art. Been doing gel regularly for about 8 months at home. Got my first stamping plate set and some new gel to try it out. Since this was my second time stamping i had the hang of it a bit better than the first time but still need practice. Any tips are welcome :). If anyone has any tips on how to shape my nails i would love to hear them. My nail beds are wide and sometimes fan out. I have been just trying to file the edges to make them skinny because I'm not sure what else to do.
Because 'shiny' . And yes, it's on my raoa wishlist too.
Brass players, cats, ravens, packrats, we all love random shiny things.

Haha I actually did my nails over the weekend at a place in Colorado (I live in California) for a friend's wedding, and I used their nail polish so I have no idea what it was. I like it though!

I saw it used in a design the other day and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. THIS POLISH HAUNTS MY DREAMS.
I think we NEED Essie Play Date. I mean come on, it is the perfect purple. It's in your wishlist too so you must agree :) Plus it's $5.95 with free shipping.
Though if you aren't in a purple mood, Sparkling Garbage is just $8 and also has free shipping. I've recently become convinced that everyone should have this polish so it's really also a polish we both need.
*edit because I forgot to tell you that you're a total rockstar! That was close haha
Orly Sparkling Garbage will cost $9.99 including shipping to Canada from Lovely Nails. I want it because holy crap it's beautiful and I have yet to try an Orly, which I think is a serious shame. Thank you so much for the contest! You're too sweet for spending your gift card on us. :D

This one holds 60, is fairly inexpensive and compact!
Also, when you make your move, be sure to wrap your bottles up in bubble wrap or newspaper or something. You don't want to go through the heartbreak of opening up your boxes to find broken glass and a puddle of sticky polish!

This is the one that I have, but yeah, it'd probably be better to wait until you're settled in your new place to invest in something like that.
