Oh, you got an uber mat! Where did you order?
Your butterfly wings look so pretty!

Also, those CC holos look delicious. How different are the three to the right?

SOME indie polish makers could use a course in marketing and PR 101!!!
Thank you. I bought mine from She Sells Sea Shells, they are the UK stockists.

Quite different. Once has green sheen, one pink and one champagne. The closest 2 are the one on the left and the one on the right.

They really should!

Also people are complaining that the indie polish industry is suffering because of the Mentality fiasco, but this isn't the way to keep people happy.

She has some nice stuff! I could do an Uber Mat, too. I need a surface to work on and protect my living room table. However, I just read from somewhere that the Uber Mat makes you feel only 20% more chic. So I dunno.

Pretty manis! Love the green one. I think I prefer cooler mid greens over warmer ones. I don't like Xmas green polishes. I will keep the box in my mind, though my list to buy is way too long now, and this past month was so bad.

I also have a gap in my swatch sticks. :( Uh, and thank you for reminding - I'm also running out of them! *adding to list

Good choices! The Red Sea one is very pretty. Hope you will get them before you leave. Thank you for tagging me, I finally ordered a few from the MP Collection and added one of the SBPs with them. Looks like the SBPs were easy to get now. I've managed only once (and with one) before. Although, I have not really tried. I'm not getting up in the middle of the night on the 7th, and the 22nd has always had less stuff I think. The one I got seems to be the most unpopular one - it's still available

, but I did not really fancy the others.

Hope you will have a wonderful time in Sicily!


Yeah, I know.

I got my EPs yesterday. No problems. Mine also says 8, and 27 has been the figure for 3. She seems to put half the price or so, but didn't the price just go up. I have not revceived any answer from her. :( But she was actually rather nice once - when I had to cancel my CC and was not able to wire money to my Paypal. I think I got my other CC working in time, so I did not have to negotiate with her in the end.

Thanks! Musroom Clound is very nice - an unusual combo amongst thermals. I think I've worn it, too.


Pretty hauls. But thumbs down to that woman!

Love the mani! The accents are very pretty.


I got two of the lighter ones (wearing one of them atm). They have different casts but I don't think the difference is great. The polish looks quite silvery and the cast is very sublte on the nail.

I think the Ubet Mat is quite cool and it wasn't too expensive, I really wanted it for making decals, but yes, it's good to protect the table too.

Very cool mani!

Well guess what came in the post today? Both my C4N packages! No idea why they took 4 weeks to arrive, but luckily everything was intact, so I'm very relieved. All of the polishes are either C4N exclusives or LE, so didn't really fancy losing them. Still not sure if I order from here again, her attitude sucks. I also hate that bloody FB group, the admins are really rude and nasty. And Sisi is mostly just useless.









I was really happy with how quickly my dappen dishes arrived, so went ahead and ordered the CC Oil Slick collection from her too.

Still not heard back from Different Dimension. I'll give her until Friday then go through Paypal for a refund. I hate this attitude. Your polish isn't as described, give refund or replace it. Grrr!

Absolutely! Are the CCs kind of holo with a shift?

Multithanks MRV! I don't have any hope right now, the post office holds packages just for seven work days, and will then send it back. I can't just send a friend to the PO for me because it requieres my signature so they won't give it to her. Total crap. I would be happier if she had just send it out earlier- I ordered on the 7th and she send it on the 12th. Sigh.

Wohoo! Was your tracking ever updated or did it still show that it's in LA? My last package from Llarowe just took 8 days to arrive - I was really pleased with that!

Aah, love these! Gonna get all of them. FF is producing really unique and pretty polishes nowadays. Between them, Glam and Lilypad I've bought so many. Note that they're all Australian as well. Must be something in the water over there, lol!

Just seen on FB that Danny Dannels, the owner of Mentality has published a book. Too funny. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015P8H2KM Also I didn't know this, but they live in a mobile home in a caravan park (like gypsies) and that's where they make their nail polish too. They store the ingredients outside and mix the polish in plastic bottles! OMG! I am definitely never using my Mentality polishes again. Even if the base is fine, it sounds like they're just using whatever they can find in the trash to mix the polishes. Oh and I'm thinking they live in this mobile home with 4 children plus she's pregnant and they make the polish there?! Those poor children have no chance...

Thanks, Anitacska!


Nice mani (love SYMM)! Pretty Glams, and those EdMs and FFs =

. I did receive a notice about my FFs on Friday, but I have to wait until payday to declear them. How do you like the EdMs? I will be getting a few.


Multithanks, PQ!


Thanks, Fuzzy! You know, there's a new song (in my language) which is called Kitty Videos - "come to my place to watch kitty vids with me".


Very pretty!


Buon viaggio! Where are you going there?


I complained to her. I hate stalking FB. I don't really have one (just for getting np info). Sometimes they just say "it's up now", no notice beforehand.

No, I have not receive any answer from her!


New mani's FUN Storm with some FF Lion's Breath and FF High Distinction.

Oo, that's nice! Storm looks cool.

We're going to Sicily, and I really hope I get my Elevations before we leave! Tracking shows that the parcel has been in Chicago for the last 5 days, hope Anitacska is right and it's actually already farther than that!
I wasn't even vaguely tempted by this box, but I like both your manis, especially the Black Cat.
Hope your Elevations turn up - I was tempted to try at the restock a couple of days ago, but I forgot (probably for the best!).

That's really pretty! Don't have this one. Having said that, I should really wear some of my Glams, I have bought so many lately and haven't worn them. But then again, I have so many other untrieds. I checked my spreadsheet and I have tried about 750 of my 3000+ polishes. Terrible.


Thanks. That's really cool! I love the bit about how she never understood why Ariel would want to swap her fishtail for legs, but now she does, she must have been exhausted all the time!
lol.gif



I have just had a large Glam order sent to my Stackry box. Figured I can't get the batches otherwise, so threw in the two new collections as well, seeing that shipping with Fedex will be around $50 anyway.


Weird about your C4N package too. I just want to know where mine are, it's the not knowing that I hate.

I've just received my second lot of EPs. Hope yours arrives soon too. Weird though, I've just noticed, she now puts $8 per polish on the customs form, what's the betting if I order 3 next, she'll put the value up to the dreaded $27 for 3?!

Yes, those were for the UK CbL group, but I think they are now available on the other one too.

I need my husband to move out so I can get myself some Helmers! Still no moving date yet.



Thanks. The new EdMs are really pretty too.

Looks like DD is another maker I might not be dealing with again.

And good for you for e-mailing EP. Not that I think she gives a shit about her customers sadly.

Nice mani!

Here's my mani, FF Mushroom Cloud, the thermal change is pretty good, even on the fake nail which I wasn't sure would work.





My other 2 EPs:



RC Glam exclusive. I also ordered an older colour, but she sent me the wrong one, so that's going back.

Sorry to hear DD haven't helped out with your issue, too many sellers think they are more important than their customers.
My untrieds are ridiculous too, but with my severe cutting down on shopping, hopefully I'll work my way through them eventually!
Mushroom Cloud is lovely, especially when it's purple! I still won't buy a thermal, I want something that still works by the time I get round to wearing it!
Love your new polishes too!

My dappen dishes have arrived!
girlhaha.gif
So glad I cancelled my C4N pre-order for these.



I also received my Bear Pawlish order. I'm actually really peed off with the BP woman. I forgot to enter the discount code when I ordered, but e-mailed her straight away to ask if she could apply the discount anyway, she never even bothered to reply. Thanks a lot.



And this is my mani. CbL Concrete Jungle with some decals I made with my new UberChic mat. They turned out okay, and I've learned from my mistakes. I added EP Djinn in a Bottle on everything, CJ is yet another holo that's not very holo. Hmm.





Still no C4N orders, but the other UK lady who ordered hers at the same time as my second package, received hers today even though her tracking also stopped on the 28th August, so I'm a bit more hopeful now. Maybe tomorrow....
Love your CCs, especially the red one of course! I haven't seen them on sale anywhere, not even on their own website.
Your Bears look sooo pretty too, I have some of those of course! How annoying about the discount though. I must admit, now that they're being sold at RC, I don't know if I'd go direct again, she is a complete pain to try to contact (depends on the pricing of course, these days I have to think about that above convenience).
Wow, making your own decals? Interesting, looks good! Shame about the CJ lacking oomph, thank heavens for toppers!

At last she's brought out a collection that I can skip most of - they're really pretty, but mostly need undies which I can't be bothered with, and a couple are way too pale for me, so I'll probably just want the green/blue one.

They'll also have 15 limited edition batches in their shop. I feel another order coming on in October. Thank goodness Stackry are now shipping nail polish. I know it's expensive, but the last order I placed with Glam will cost less than £10 per polish, including their and Stackry's shipping, so it's not too bad if you buy in bulk.
