Hey there, hope you're all recovering from your mishaps! Did you get your FFs today, Anitacsks? 
I love mine, will have to order some more when there's a restock on Hypnotic Polish.
Did you see that there's going to be a pre-order at Takko Polish for a new collection? So far I've seen swatches for three new polishes, but nothing has tickled my fancy yet. Has anybody ever ordered at her store directly? Is she better than Chelsea from EP?
Saw earlier that EDM will not longer sold at Meimei and got some that I always meant to buy with a 25% discount. Copper Patina, the holo version of it, The Pretender and Maddie's Magenta.
Otherwise I got a cold that has been kicking my butt, and right when I felt first the container with all our things arrived and it was a total pandemonium. Happily I'm reunited with all of my mu and polishes, and everything survived! Yay! But with everything, I wasn't in the mood at all to do my nails. Ugh. Will post a mani later!

Sorry to hear you have a cold. But glad all your stuff had arrived safely!
No, my Femme Fatales haven't come yet, the tracking still shows the package departed Hong Kong at 3 am, so it probably won't come today. Ah well, tomorrow's another day.
My C4N package hasn't come yet either, tracking stopped 6 days ago in LA. I don't know what it is with LA, tracking often doesn't update until after I receive my packages. Oh well, it's only been 8 days, so not worried yet.
I've never ordered from Takko, apparently the restocks are crazy, but the pre-order sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately the time is usually stupid o'clock here in the UK, I think it's 1.30 am this time, so I won't be ordering. I like the polishes I have, but I'm not crazy enough for them to stay up late. Also I believe she doesn't ship internationally, although that wouldn't be a problem for me.
I've seen on FB that the EP mysteries have started shipping already, so I have my money on a restock this weekend. Still not sure if I should get Alicorn, I like it better in some pictures than others.
Managed to snap a few pictures of my current mani before it started raining again, we've had 2 days of rain so far, and before then it was 26 degrees at the weekend. Crazy weather. Have a massive headache as a result, it's so humid.
Mani is Naild' It Aurora's Grape Escape and Elevation Echinops.

I'm going to spam you with loads of nail polish porn today, got 3 packages this week, from Color4Nails, Femme Fatale and Stackry! Plus a few bits from friends on Facebook.

The FFs are all oops colours except the 3 on the right in the top row. The purple in the middle is the COTM, the two on the right are the FB group exclusives.
I also got these 3 polishes from a friend and EP June 2013 (woohoo!) from someone on Facebook.
My current mani is Lilypad Lacquer Singapore Skyline with OPI Don't Speak 18k Gold topper on the accents.

Hmmm. I've never ordered direct from Takko as I never know about it and even if I did it's always at stupid o'clock. I like the look of a couple of these, and 1:30 am at the weekend is do-able, I may have to try it!
Yay for a discount, the only one of those I have is the magenta, and it's awesome! I think I got my first EdMs at MeiMei, shame they've gone their separate ways.
Boo to a cold, yay to your stuff, boo to pandemonium, yay to survival, boo for no mani moods...

Thank you! Haha, yes, I thought I'd make the most of my wisteria.
Thank you. There are definitely some pretties there. Well, I like them all, lol.
Pretty mani.
Here are my two recent manis. First is Lilypad Lacquer Pink Pennies with Alchemy Lacquers Spessartite of Time on the accents. Both duochrome, so took a few photos.
Current mani is Mac Jade Dragon (2011 untried) with Femme Fatale Jewels from the Deep. Stamped with CbL High School was Rough Man, but it didn't come out too well. Also my camera thinks the FF is blue, but it's much more green (although does have a blue duochrome to it).
My PTR box is due to arrive today, although I'm only keeping the FF and Danglefoot, I've managed to find buyers for the CbL and Bear. They're nice too, but I have enough hot pink holos and reds.

Did someone manage to get the exclusive EPs at LiveLove? Meh, I'd really loved the green one with the flakies!
Yeah, I got all 3 and PQ got 2. I did text you, but I'm guessing you might not be using your old number anymore. Plus I guess you were asleep at the time. It was 10 pm here.

Yes, it was 5am! (I still have the old number, but sometimes messages are delayed. I got it after I posted here this morning.)
How did you both do it - use Stackry? Because I guess for me it wouldn't be really smart to let it ship to Germany with her shipping fees!
I guess another restock is in store for us at Pshiiit because of the new shade the French Iger posted, which means it'll be an epic clusterf**** again. I'll see if I even try to get one, because last time, I think I stalked for three days but got nothing... But the shade is really pretty...
But I guess my new favourite polish line is FF anyways!

I'm sorry you missed them, but LLP said they might be restocked. Hopefully it'll be announced this time. I just happened to see their post go up on IG, so jumped on it immediately, must have been one of the first orders placed. Even on the FB site nobody knew until I posted.
Yes, I did have mine sent to the US, not Stackry actually, I'm trying out another forwarder that doesn't have consolidation fees or hazmat fees, fingers crossed they'll be okay. Others I know use them for shipping nail polish, so hopefully it's going to be fine. They use DHL same as Stackry.
Apparently Dragon Egg won't be a French exclusive, this is according to the swatcher. We shall see. It's very pretty and I would love to get it.
For those who haven't seen it, this is Dragon Egg:
I totally agree about FF, I've been buying everything she's brought out lately. That and Glam Polish. Their next two collections are based on Alice in Wonderland (what a surprise) and Cry Baby (the Johnny Depp film). Haven't seen pictures, but the Alice one will probably have some gorgeous bright colours.

Midnight for me. Bloody hell. Also, I was kinda cranky today and the last sentence annoyed the sh** out of me. 'And maybe something new'?! Argh!
Anitacska

I'd rather it was midnight than 6 pm to be honest, I have to cook, feed children, wash up, send children up for bath and getting ready for bed - just the worst time. Oh well.
The "maybe something new" is sure to be Dragon Egg. But again, only one IGer posted about it, no mention on the EP IG feed. I don't get her at all.

Quick question - can someone run me through the process of ordering directly at FF? I think you all have done so in the past, right? Does she send to Europe and how much is shipping? Cost-wise, is it better to do that or wait for European stockists to get the collections?
I just saw that FF will release a Tolkien collection, and that was (and is) still a fandom that my heart belongs to (I mean, even my screen name is Elvish!). So I guess that I'll need the whole thing... (Will be skipping EP for that.)

The new collection does look like it's going to be beautiful! This time I'm not sure if I'll order directly, but not because I don't think it's a good idea, I'm just fed up with having to wait in for DHL all the time. Easier to get it from Rainbow Connection or C4N.
If you do want to order directly, you need a 10 bottle minimum in your order, but it doesn't have to be FF only. She has some nice exclusives and some other brands I like, so usually it's easy to get 10 bottles together. Plus I guess there'll be a COTM again, so that's 9 FFs already. Costwise, it's 47 AUD shipping to the UK, probably the same to all of Europe. The polishes however are MUCH cheaper than at the stockists, so if you order 10 bottles, you're breaking even, more and you're laughing. Would you send them to China or Germany? I think the biggest advantage of ordering directly is that you get them much more quickly than the stockist. Also if she does group exclusives or opps/samples, then that's the only way anyway.
Hope this helps.
