Next is Glam Polish Fixer Upper with Indigo Bananas Hyperborea (holo). Fixer Upper was one of my first Glam Polishes I bought (about 5 years ago?).

Oo these are nice, the Zoya is a really pretty colour!

More mani pictures. This is CrowsToes Indian Summer with Tonic Polish Spellbound. I found the Tonic less sparkly than I had hoped, so added China Glaze Golden Enchantement on top. The shifts are gorgeous, the CrowsToes is particularly amazing.

Sorry about all the photos, I got overexcited, lol.

Next up is Femme Fatale Who Is Fairest Of Them All.

Indian Summer looks stunning, I do own it but haven't worn it yet.

I am loyal to the traditional French manicure, they are never out of trend! I haven't done it in ages, so I need more practice!!!

Polishes I used: KL Polish Pinky & Paper Snow

Very classy!

The last of my recent manis. First is Nails Inc New Burlington Place (2012 untried) with Pahlish The Ghost of Banquo stamped with Colour Alike Venus. The last picture is before clean up and stamping to show what the Pahlish looks like. I wasn't keen on it, hence the stamping.

My current mani (about to come off) is Femme Fatale Lace Masquerade. Not a big fan of this to be honest.

My package is finally moving. Hoping it will get here by Monday.

Stunning! I love New Burlington Place, I've worn mine!

Merry Christmas! My package finally arrived yesterday, although I've been way too busy to properly look.

Yay, that's what I call a Christmas present! Looking forward to seeing your goodies!

I snapped some pictures quickly when I was unpacking them the other night. I'll try to post pictures if my Mum decides to not sit behind me when I'm at the computer.

Oh I forgot to say, one of my PfDs (Phoenix) arrived broken. I've managed to save a little, but hopefully I can get a replacement bottle. It's so pretty.

Oh my word, what a stunning haul! I'm particularly taken with the PFD order, and super excited to see mine. Wishing I'd gone for the prototypes now, they are much nicer than the ones I got a couple of years ago. You KNOW that red one is going on "the list"!
Enjoy wearing all of them (eventually lol!). Love these, I'm living vicariously through your hauls these days...

Oh no, how annoying. I've bought that one, I really liked the look of it.

 

[PearlyQueen]

I don't know what's happened to my phone camera - there's a great big mark on it, and I seem to have made the lens all fuzzy while trying (unsuccessfully) to remove the mark.
Pictures are rubbish, but this week I'm wearing Takko Lacquer Queen of Hearts:

Hahaha, of course! I liked my protos from 2 years ago, but her polishes are even more gorgeous now, so these are definitely better.

I'm not going to be hauling much in the new year, really need to save some money. Luckily I don't really like anything from PPU or the new Glams, so that's good.

Oh no, isn't that a new phone? My ex has just got a new phone on his contract and also 2 more free ones (Motorola smart phone) and has offered me one, but EE really messed up his SIM card, he ended up having to go to another town to get it sorted and wasn't able to use his phone for 2 days, so I've declined. Unless my phone dies, I'll stick with it for the time being.

Here are some of my latest manis. I didn't have time/energy to do a Christmas mani, been having a lot of trouble with my younger 2 children. I even had naked nails on Christmas Day!

First is Butter London Knackered (2012 untried) with Indigo Bananas Eye of the Cyclone (holo) over black



Next is Emily de Molly The Heart of the Ship. It's such a cool thermal.



This is Darling Diva Oh No! She Didn't! (2012 untried) with Girly Bits Daddy's Little Girl (my oldest untried Girly Bits polish)



My current mani is Lilypad Lacquer Ruby Slippers (one of my oldest untried Lilypads) with Barry M 338 Silver Multi Glitter (2012 untried). This is as close as I got to Christmas mani. The Barry M has some pinky red microglitter that doesn't show.

 

[Anitacska]

Has anyone bought the New Year EP duo? I've passed. I like the blurple, but not the black. Meh.

I'm also passing on the Glam collection and PPU! Having said that, I'm tempted to buy from PfD (10% sale and new NY duo) and Tonic. And a few Femme Fatales (I've got a 10% off code).

After that I'm really going to try hard to be good.

I agree, these are gorgeous!
I've skipped Glam and PPU too, I only liked the PfD from PPU and the Glams will have to wait. I'm anxiously waiting for my Illyrians to ship so I can empty my Stackry box, and I know it's going to cost a fortune to ship because I bought loads including more handbags. I hate that Illyrian are so uncontactable, I've emailed and put a query on FB but no response. I'm going into storage fees in a few days, sooo annoying. I even requested to join the FB group yesterday to see if I could get a response there, but I haven't had clearance to join either, it's like information blackout!

I know, I'm at a loss how to fix it. I might have to buy a camera, maybe a second hand one, but as ever I'm broke.

Argh, your kids are a proper saga, so sorry it's all going off again. Naked nails at Xmas is just wrong (naked nails at any time are wrong!).
Nice manis, love the blue and that's a really nice thermal.

I didn't realise it was a duo, looked at the pic from RC, liked the purple, not the black, decided not to bother. Now I know it's a duo I'm glad I decided against the purple, I'd have been really disappointed I had to buy both!

This week's fuzzy pictures of my mani (Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal by Powder Perfect):

I still love the tones of colour she used to choose, such a pretty burgundy shade.
