I haven't seen anyone post about this before so I thought I'd post some pics. The nail polish company China Glaze released a bunch of MLP themed nail polish recently. I picked up some last night and the lady working at the store said they'd been super popular. I couldn't find some of the shades I was looking for. :( If you're looking to get some, I'd recommend going sooner rather than later.
Here's China Glaze's official site promo of the colors. (http://chinaglaze.com/mlp/) They're a little more accurate than my photos. :lol:
On to the pictures! First up is the whole haul. One Polished Pony set comes with some nail decals and the Songbird Serenade set comes with two Best Friends rings. The black polish in the Songbird Serenade set has a beautiful blue/purple shimmer to it. The blue polish in the One Polished Pony set has a lovely, soft blue/white shimmer to it. It's more of a sky blue than my photo shows.

Next is a close up of Where's The Party Cannon At? BTW, glitter nail polish is reeeeeeally hard to capture accurately in a photo. This polish has big, multi-color sparkles in it. Lot's of fun to look at it in the light.

And this is a close up of Let Your Twilight Sparkle. Again, glitter is hard to photograph. This color shifts from blue to purple and has subtle sparkles of blue and purple glittter in it.

China Glaze is carried in Sally Beauty and Ulta stores. Although Ulta is dicey about carrying the limited edition sets. I've heard China Glaze can be found in the UK too, but I can't confirm that. If you know where else you can find the brand, please post!

Cool! I might pick up a few :biggrin: What do the nail decals look like? Thanks for sharing, I had no idea that MLP nail colors are being sold!

How lovely! I'm not one for painting my nails, but this is an interesting tidbit. If you use some of them, be sure to share pictures! I really like the sound of them. So...much...glitter... *fiants*

Thanks for posting this. I just ran to Sally's and got a lot of different colors. The Sally's I went to didn't have the Songbird Serenade set with the rings. Here's mine. I only got the minis.

I love these polishes! I'm wearing the Twilight Sparkle one now. It's probably my favorite, since it sort of changes between blue and purple depending on the angle and light. It's sooo pretty!
-
One of my clients works at Sally's and surprised me with these! I was so excited!

The decals have 2 rows of the main characters heads, 2 rows of the elements of harmony, and then a bunch of single rows of hearts, butterflies, rainbows, and stars. And I can't find instructions for them, but I think they're water slide decals... I'll probably paint my nails soon so I'll try them out and report back. :D
-
One of my coworkers sent me a picture of these at our local JCPenney salon. I want a few of them. What's the price point on these?
-
I checked a different Sally's today and found the Songbird Serenade set but didn't find the full size bottles of polish I wanted. The Sally's I checked today was almost out of the minis and the full size ones but had several of the two polish sets.
I think the prices are
Minis $1.79 although some I bought yesterday rang up for $1.29
Full size $7.49
Two bottles of polish with extras $9.99 per set
At least at Sally's I haven't checked Ulta or JCPenny's yet to compare.

Wow, looks really cute actually. :)

I tried out the nail decals. Here's a closeup.

And here's a shot of a decal on my thumb. So the polish I'm wearing is one coat of Let Your Twilight Sparkle over a dark blue/purple polish (Fingerpaint's Art of Theft), and the dots were made with One Polished Pony and She's A Mane-Iac. This photo was taken in the shade.

So the nail decals are water slide which means you have to cut them out and dip them into water for a bit. Eventually the decal should slide off the backing paper and you'll be left with a semi-transparent decal.... Except that didn't happen. I cut the decal out as neatly as I could, but the backing paper just didn't want to come off. That's why there's still a white border around Twilight's head. I don't know if I got a bad batch or what, but these decals were awful to use. :( I wouldn't recommend getting the set just for the decals. The nail polish in the set is fantastic though. :heart:
-
Ohhhh I want this set! Where did you get it?
-
I'm sorry to hear the decals don't work. They're so cute. I just painted my nails with Let Your Twilight Sparkle. Sometimes my polish seemed too thin when I got it out of the bottle and sometimes it was so thick I could hardly move it with the brush. This is my first time using China Glaze.

Wow what an awesome idea. I would love to try some of those. I don't think we have a Sally beauty store, at least not nearby. There's an ulta but I think it's too far away. I wonder if CVS would carry anything like that since they sell nail polish.
-
Majesty do you have a JC Penny's with a Sephora inside? I think the MLP nail polish is also available there. :)
Ponyfan
-
Oh, how cute! Will have to keep an eye out for these..
-
I checked Walgreens today, they don't have them. I haven't had a chance to get to JCP or Sally Beauty to check them out.

Is anyone else having trouble with the MLP polish not lasting or chipping?

Are you using a base coat and/or a top coat? I used Gelous for a base coat and Out The Door for a top coat. I painted my nails on Friday and as of Tuesday night, they still look perfect.

I'm not using a base coat but I am using China Glaze Fast Forward top coat for the top coat. I thought I put the polish on too thick yesterday so I took off and had two coats of MLP polish and a top coat of Fast Forward. After a couple of hours the top coat weakened and started to flake off in large pieces taking the nail color underneath with it, Maybe I'm using the wrong type of top coat?

Weird! I've never used that top coat before so I can't say for sure if that's the issue. I've used China Glaze polishes for several years now without any problem though. I actually own around 50 bottles. lol I guess I'd try using a basecoat and a different brand of top coat next time to see if that makes any difference. Humidity might also be a factor.
-
I love some of the MLP colors so much. I was sad when it started chipping off so easily. I will keep trying. :) This is the first time I've used that top coat also.

Oooooh! I love the nail polish!

I finally found a double display of the MLP polish at JCPenny's. It was upstairs in the Children's section. I would have never thought to look there. I picked up 3 more bottle today.

For those suggesting Sephora, they do not carry China Glaze(neither does CVS but Walgreens does). If you can't buy the polishes in person, Sally Beauty does sell online. NailPolishCanada is another place that carries them.
For the polish issues...(for reference, nails are a hobby of mine. I am a polish maker) It may be the top coat doesn't work for your body chemistry. It happens some times. Or your nails may have a lot of natural oils. Try wiping nails with alchohol before applying polish if you're not already doing it. Some folks need to use a "sticky" type of basecoat to keep their nail polish on for more than a day. Apply polish so each coat isn't thick.
Some other top coats that are great: Seche Vite, Out the Door, even NYC's Grand Central does a good job.

Thanks FiddlePhan I didn't know Sephora didn't carry China Glaze. I'm usually not a nail polish person but I love most of the MLP colors.
The MLP nail polishes are featured in the new Ulta catalog. I picked up 3 more colors today. They also have the two polishes that were in the Songbird set available separately now.
