I was just about to change mine but I can't decide what color to put on =/ I'm currently wearing Casino Royale from the Skyfall collection.

That is such a gorgeous shade! I'll probably need to pick it up at some point.

My ChG haul still hasn't arrived. Booo! :(

You sure do!  (My turn to enable now ). And if you haven't checked out "Butler Please" (same collection), please do. It's super gorgeous as well  I don't have it yet but i will go back for that one most likely tomorrow. And i hope you'll receive your China Glaze polishes really soon, how long does it usually take?

Ps.: I think they're both awesome for layering "The Man With The Golden Gun" over it, so bonus

I didn't get anything. Apparently, I got lucky when the SA applied my coupon. Butter London is considered a "prestige brand" at Ulta, and normal coupons like the one I had are technically excluded. I'm just going to wait for the Nordstrom Black Friday deal. I do plan to pick up more BL at Ulta when they have a sale or when I get the special coupons that can be applied.

I'm planning to do mine today before I leave out to make the Thanksgiving rounds. I picked up a bottle of the OPI drying drops last night. I'm going to try out all of the new polishing tips to see how fast I can finish.

Oh i see, you're indeed better off waiting then  Have fun shopping on Black Friday btw ;) I sooo wish Belgium had special shopping days like this one as well

I did my nails before leaving out. All of your tips worked! Thank you so much!

I used Chanel Delight and finished in less than hour. For me, that's a miracle compared to the several hours it usually takes me to polish my nails. It probably would've taken less time if I didn't have to redo a nail after nicking it somehow. I'm so excited about this. Polishing my nails is one of the luxurious I enjoy doing for myself. It's great that it no longer has to be a long, arduous process.

honeyonboost, I just love the OPI dry drops. Thanks for mentioning them. They're a life saver! I feel like I can quickly get back to real life instead of having to sit frozen like a statue waiting for my nails to dry.

I received loads of nail polishes today)) now I have a lot to try)) I'm starting with Kiko 243..)) btw Dominique thanks for introducing this brand.. their eyeshadows are amazing.. I hope nail polishes will be good in wear too.. the application was a bit messy to be honest but with 2 layers I got an opaque colour)) I hope it will last too..))

It depends, really. But it's usually 1-2 weeks, provided the seller doesn't need to wait for a certain item to be restocked. The order appears to have been shipped on the 14th, so I have no reason to panic yet

Looks like you're set for the holidays  Such beautiful shades .. I'm glad i ordered 4 of them and am trying to resist buying more of them  Enjoy your polishes! :)

I ordered Trustafarian, Bossy Boots and Two Fingered Salute through Nordstrom's sale. I noticed after the fact that they're all light green colors. I now have 4 Butter London polishes counting Victoriana. I haven't decided if I'm ordering another batch during the sale. My funds are being tempted by other Black Friday deals.

Your're welcome. I don't know if Kiko polishes are really long wearing, with a good top coat it's normally ok but their eyeshadows are fantastic, as I said high end quality. Their quads but also the Aqua formula which is very good. Here a new Kiko shop opens in 5 days ( I'll be the first to go to Kiko's I think lol it's going be a pretty haul !!! )

I'm still into the 'FALL' product challenge so I wore MAC's Styleseeker since it's very orange & festive.

I already have Trustafarian & I've never even worn it.  I did take advantage of the Nordstrom sale...I ordered Bossy Boots, Gobsmacked & Lillibet's Jubilee.  I now must order yet another N/P wall rack to handle the over flow that I have sitting in a decorative box.  It's a shame that if they're not out where I can see them, I tend not to use them.

I'll have to try the OPI drying drops!  I've been using Sally Hansen but if I can have dry nails in less than 15 minutes then I'll try anything.  I'm a base coat, 2 nail polish 1 drying top coat kinda girl, so I need a product that will really get it done.  I trust your recommendation.  I'm on it ladies!

I know those drying drop thingies have a lot of fans, but they didn't work for me. The polish didn't dry for aeons and it lost its shine. I love the idea, but I'm sticking to my fast dry top coat.

I'm probably in the minority here though. I'm sure you'll be just fine :)

Which one do you use?  I really like the Sally Hansen one.  It works for me but I thought if there's something better, I'd like to try it.  I just ordered the OPI one so I guess we'll see soon enough.

That's a great haul. I was still debating another order with Nordstrom. I put the polishes in my cart, then took a nap to think about it. The colors I wanted sold out by the time I woke up. I'm not upset about it. I'll get them and more colors later during another promotion/sale. I'm sure there will be something else happening in December.

Great haul indeed! You'll love Mermaid's Dream! I know I do. Hehe. 

re: Cleopatra - it's been released very recently so I'm sure Beauty.com will have it soon. None of the EU online stores I buy Lippmanns from have it yet either. I was hoping to get it from Beautybay because they had 20% off everything yesterday, but no luck.
