I didn't buy this - are you getting sorted out? Looks like you've got a dodgy one to me.

Both manis are very pretty and who doesn't love a bargain?
Good choices! Did you see the Valentine trio and the Mei Mei exclusive duo?
Thanks.
No, there was an e-mail about the launch from RC, it wasn't secret or anything. They're showing as coming soon, so I'm sure there'll be another restock soon.
Thank you!
Yes, she's refunded me already. It's really pretty as it is actually, but if there's refund on offer, I'd be mad not to take it. I'll probably buy the new version too at some point.
Thank you!

Having a bit of a crappy time at the moment, so when I managed to get away for a bit of retail therapy yesterday, I went a bit crazy. But in my defence, most of them were very very cheap.
The bottom two sets were £9.99 each in TKMaxx, but annoyingly I later found the CG set in Sally's for 2 quid cheaper. Eh. This was inside them:
Also picked up a few Kikos (£2.50 each), Morgan Taylor from Sally's (£3-ish) and a Topshop polish:
I also had a small haul from Harlow & Co arrive last week:
Two recent manis, first is Glam Polish Moana with Glam Whiteout on the accents.
Second and current mani is one of the new Kikos (the one on the left, no. 504) with an old flakie polish Lorena Cinderella (it was a freebie from Llarowe once):
Incredibly annoying polish, it's not coral and it's not as light as the second picture shows. It's a medium coral pink with glitters, very pretty irl, but my camera said no.

What a lovely polish! Beautiful!
I like the coppery mani! I also want some of the OPI HK polishes, and I'm ashamed to say it's just for the HK bottles.
Before Christmas I went through my stash of makeup and nailpolish and through out a lot of the older stuff and gave them to the local refugee center, so I don't have any really old untrieds! I think my oldest ones are from 2014 and are Kiko polishes.
Super pretty manis! I just got my first YSL polish over the weekend, the new one from the Spring Collection, Green Peace. Looks a bit like EDM Copper Patina. Haven't tried it yet though.
I'm wearing a lot of my older favourite nailpolishes atm, and botching nail art attempts, lol! Also ripped off some nails, argh. Not a great year's beginning for polished nails!
Hey, I got mine mainly for the bottle, too. I'm not a fan and it's just a sleeve, so it's just
! That's really nice to donate. I have not heard that you could do so here, they are mainly in need of men's clothes in which I'm no help.Thanks and congrats on you first YSL! GP looks really nice and springy. Hope you're nails are healed for it already!
'Thank you.
Very cold here as well, it was -4 C at night. I know it's not very cold per se, but it is for the south of England. We even had a bit of snow on Sunday!
No, we don't go to Hungary very often at all. Last time we went was June 2014. We were going to go this summer, but I don't have a budget for two holidays, so I've decided not to. Never go in the winter now, I think we last went about 9 years ago. Too cold and my Mum's place is too small for 7 (or now only 6, but still). It's okay in the spring/summer, when you can go outside.
I'd love to do more city holidays, but with 3 children in tow it's not ideal. Would love to go to Iceland one day, and hoping to go back to Finland and Sweden soon too. A beach holiday however is much easier with children.
Yes, apparently EP put $24 for 3 polishes. It's still borderline and would worry me, but I might try it next time, especially if I have nothing else going to Stackry.
All my old polishes work fine, well, except maybe a handful, I did throw out a couple of dried in ones, and that Color Club faded massively, but 99% is still fine.
The Fun mani is gorgeous!
Ouch! Sorry about your nails!
Nothing to be ashamed about, HK is cute. I have some HK socks and both my daughters think I'm weird, lol. They used to love HK, but are obviously too cool for it now.
Thank you. Zoya does make some pretty polishes. Probably my favourite mainstream brand, also doesn't chip on me too quickly unlike CG.
Well done on donating some of your stuff! I donate clothes and toys all the time, but didn't think about np/mu.
Hope you can travel around here and to Iceland one day. That's one country I have not been to either. Luckily it's more reasonnable these days.
Thanks!
Pretty combo and I like the name of the Smitten!
I remebered to check out mine yesterday. It's from batch 2. Have to
her now. Speaking of FF - she's not putting out a new collection for Feb - only two old ones?Yes, very sparkly and pretty!
Thanks, AWC!

Nice finds! I should have bought that CC bottle green OPI, too, but it was not urgent. Buuut, I actually got lucky when I bought a bunch of those discounted polishes the other day: I spotted one orange OPI and got it. When I checked it out, it was the orange from the ColaCola Collection I had wanted to buy but it was not released in the US (there it was a glitter not a creme) but did not want to pay almost 20 Euros for it here.
Love the first mani! Sorry about the Lorena one, maybe it was not popular for a reason and hence a freebie.

Thanks. It wasn't the Lorena that gave me trouble, it was the Kiko. Perfectly nice polish and very pretty colour, but just would not photograph well.
I think FF is putting out a new collection in Feb, but it won't be until the 8th. I'm really excited about the COTM because she chose my inspiration picture for it. It was this picture:
Edit:You're right, no new collections in February. Now I have to figure out how to buy the COTM. Hope stockists get it.

First mani is so elegant, and what a great combo for the second one. Would never have thought about layering IP over BGL, but it works.

Current mani is Glam Polish Deceptive Practice and the brown polish is from the Andrea Fulerton duo Petrol in the Water (2011 untried). It comes with a blue to pink duochrome topcoat, but decided not to use that. Instead popped some stamping on using my trusty YSL Yellow Gold polish. I'm very pleased with this mani if I may say so myself.

Well, I reckon they didn't 'need' my makeup and polishes - but one of my friends teaches German there, and she told me that it was a big hit with the women and girls and provided a bit of much needed lightheartedness - which made me glad.
It actually convinced me to urge all my makeup addict real life friends to do something similar, because we all have stuff that just lies around somewhere, and if it gives someone joy in a bleak world, then it's well-done! (I'll step down from the soapbox now. I don't want to come across as some kind of weird missionary here, it just gave me joy that my old stuff could make someone really happy.)
Go to Iceland, you two! As soon as possible! It was one of the best vacations I've ever been on and one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to (next to Hawaii).

I wish I could, but not possible right now. Maybe one day. Hawaii would also be nice (dream on....).
Thank you. Well, she didn't choose it strictly, it was voted for by the group, but still, it's my picture the COTM will be based on.
Thanks.
To be honest, I think the whole collection is great, so hard to choose badly, lol.
I got both the duo and the trio, the duo arrived today, will show you later.
Apparently Beauty So Fly will have 2 new FF exclusives next month as well.
Thanks.
Thanks. Things are still no better, but I'm managing okay. Going to London to meet a friend on Sunday should help a bit.
Thank you. Moana is really beautiful.
Thank you. It was voted for by others, but still, it's my choice, so yay! Can't wait to see what she comes up with.

New Enchanted Polishes coming soon (no date yet). Hope it's a pre-order, I'm tired of fighting for her polishes.
Glam Polish duo from Mei Mei:
I can see these may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the mauve colour is especially very pretty. It has gold microflakies as well. The peach one has silver ones I think.
My current mani, Dance Legend Termo Shine 182. It's mostly a dark purple on me because I'm cold, but it changes to a nice fuchsia in warm water.
I wanted to wait until all my nails are nice and long before I use this, but that's never going to happen. The nails on my right hand are all quite short actually, so when I take this off, I'll be trimming my nails on my left hand down.

Oops, I need at least three of those EPs!
Still not envious of the Glams, not saying they're not pretty, but they're not for me I think.
Pretty thermo though, it's nice when they "perform"!

They are very pretty. I might get them all, except maybe the nude one, and the silver one depending on what it's like up close. Some swatches would be helpful.
No, I totally understand that. Just saying that the mauve one looks a lot prettier irl. But I know you prefer brighter colours. I have a feeling there'll be plenty of those in the upcoming collection and trio. (There was a post on them on FB, but no pictures/swatches yet.)
Thanks. Yeah, I like this one.
