LOVE the new Enchanted polishes!

Recently through craiglist I managed to bag two polishes, a Happy Hands and my first Hare!!






The hare is Twilights Savings and the Happy Hands is Afternoon Thunderstorms.

Some pretty ugliness... I decided to try out my flower glitter too and combined Richmond and Hampstead Gardens!

I also had a sudden peak of enthusiasm and painted my toes with Illa Nomad (very appropriate for feet) the bottle of which broke earlier this year but I got a new one from London.

Hello! Been having a hell of a week again, mainly due to my daughter.

Plus it's very hot here, 32 C!

Had a massive thunderstorm last night, but it's even hotter than it was yesterday.

Anyway, went shopping today and picked up Kiko 488 and 498 which are said to be dupes for EP Shrimp Cocktail and Lobster Roll (with holo added on top). £2.50 each, so happy with that. Also got a few polishes in Superdrug.





My current mani (ditched the blue theme) is CbL Final Fantasy. Really love this, reminds me of Dollish Polish Toxic Avenger. Not going to swatch them next to each other because I only have a 5ml bottle of TA, but I've dug out a picture to compare.




Toxic Avenger:



I think TA was over black whereas the CbL is 2 coats on its own. TA is slightly more sparkly and duochrome, but not too far off, don't you think?

It was pretty crazy! More to come tonight I think. Our house heats up so much, it's about 30 C inside and it won't cool down until it's properly cool outside too.

Yes, there's a new(ish) Kiko shop in the Friary in Guildford (first floor).

Not fan of the base colour, but I like the glitters. Love the green toes though!

Has anyone ordered from Beauty So Fly? They are a Singapore based online shop and have a few exclusive Lilypads, plus will be restocking and adding some new shades soon. Shipping is only $15 (Singapore dollars) for up to 10 bottles, much cheaper than MeiMei.
Me for lilypad restock (I already have exclusive)

She received the sending and announces the sale on Monday or Tuesday

Thank you! Oh what I would give for a frosty morning right now! Okay, maybe not frosty, but 20 degrees cooler?

Gorgeous! You're making me want it now.

Thanks! I tried to take another photo in the "sunlight" when it was in the right direction but it was so hazy it just did not come out any better lol

Thanks!

I like the glitter, I don't think I have a flower glitter.

and great pedi! ...I wish my toes weren't so busted lol

ugh that's so hot, I will be feeling your pain in a few days when it gets back up to that temperature here!

nice haul and they look pretty close to me!

Oh no, sorry to hear about your Grandma. Mine died nearly 10 years ago now. It's very sad when they get ill.

My Mum is now 66 and I've lost my Dad 15 years ago, so I'm very aware of time passing and people getting older. Anyway, really hope she gets better soon. xxx

Okay, I have some haul pictures to show you. My ILNP order came today as well as my Color4Nails order. Some of the ILNP polishes aren't as holo as I'd have liked, but they are all pretty nice. The Zoyas are gorgeous. Still I haven't worn any of the Zoya Pixie Dust polishes! Naughty me.

Your daughter sounds like a handful! I have cats instead... Hope you have a better week next time.
Nice results from your shopping trip - the Barry M is particularly pretty.
Final fantasy was on my CbL list last restock, but finances didn't allow me to buy it - but your pics have ensured it stays on my wishlist! Just stunning, and I don't have TA!

Thanks Anitacska & PearlyQueen
Unfortunately she passed away last night, I think all her sons were able to get there though, so that was nice. She was in her 80s and she had been unwell since December with a myriad of things going wrong it wasn't so much of a shock, but still sad.
