I find I'm tempted by this month's FTLOP...
I like the Pahlish and the Dreamland is quite nice, but I'm not that keen on that blue PfD. I think I'll pass.

What do you think of the new Glams? I like a few, 3 or 4 of the holos with flakies (not the green or the light blue for sure, not sure about the champagne one yet) and the dark blue (Sir Lancelot) from the other collection.

Yes, the PfD is the weakest link for me too, I'm not decided yet, will wait for more swatches!
New Glams are not tempting me much, but as I have an open order I will probably get the one I like, which is Journey to the Past, it's just that greeny blue shade I love, if not unique.

I've gone off the idea of FTLOP now I've seen more swatches. I'm not seeing much on PPU either this month - a few quite nice but not sure I like anything enough to buy. I am fancying a few of the next Wildflower release though, probably go for those.

I was just looking at the PPU website and other than the PfD, I'm not really interested in anything. Question is, do I want to pay postage for just one polish?

I also had a look at HHC and liked a few polishes, so l'll probably order from there.

My Stackry box will need emptying soon. I wanted to wait for Christmas to be over as I didn't want it to get caught up in the pre-Christmas traffic, but l'll empty it in the next few days. I don't have anything en route anyway.

I decided to be very good and only buy the PfD from PPU. I figured I'll still pay the same amount of postage if I buy more, but will be spending more money on polishes I don't actually want that much. Look at me being sensible, lol!

Still not sure if I want 4 or 5 from Glam, that's less sensible, but I do like those polishes a lot. PPU just failed to wow me this month.

Well done! (What have you done with the real Anita???) You inspired me, I was mooning over 5 or 6 PPU polishes, cut it down to two instead. (Paint It Pretty and Phoenix). Still just planning on one Glam, nice they've hit your buy button though, it's good when you just know you like something and are happy to go for it.

I just tried to check out on Glam and can't find the box for the discount code anywhere on the UK site :( I've emailed about it (it's worth pennies but it's the principle!).
Anita - can you see where it goes? I was sure it was on the checkout page where you put the address, then you get the summary at the bottom and normally a box for the discount code...
(If it comes up after you've paid I'll feel a bit silly!)

I can't see it either, but isn't the launch supposed to be tomorrow?

Oh that makes sense, maybe it will pop up then, never even considered that! Thanks for looking, I generally buy on Thursdays when it appears on the UK site but maybe I've just forgotten to add the code before!

I didn't even realise the site went up on Thursday. You had me panicking, thinking I'd forgotten to order!

Sadly I really don't have the funds right now to be spending frivolously. Also, I feel like most of the polishes on offer are similar to what I have, or just not that interesting. I'm still in a polish rut, just can't be bothered to match up polishes, look through my swatchsticks, pull out bottles, etc. I still haven't put away my new Femme Fatales (admittedly, I'm not sure where to put them as my second FF drawer is full) and I have a bag full of used polishes I still need to put away. And then there's all the admin...

You were right about the code box!
And yeah, organisation = admin, it's a pain.
Maybe you're now officially in recovery?
Which ones did you get? I got Journey to the Past.

I was just coming to ask if you got your Glam! Glad the box appeared!

I got Sir Lancelot, and 4 from the other collection, basically all but the light blue and light green.

Maybe I'm in recovery, who knows, or just a bit depressed and lazy...

I've consolidated and paid for my Stackry shipment. Oof, so much money. I chose FedEx Economy, because it was quite a bit cheaper, so it's expected to arrive next Tuesday (although could be earlier than that, they're usually quite fast).

I was going to order from HHC, but I don't think I will. I'm still in debt and I seriously need to limit using my Stackry box anyway. I might get the Femme Fatale as they sell it directly too. I also like the Pahlish, but it's not extremely unique, I'm sure I've got similar polishes already.

On the upside, I'm looking forward to receiving my new EdMs and PfDs. On that note, did you order the FTLOP box in the end?

I know, it's such a pain when consolidation time comes, mine is also due in the next day or two, don't know why I'm putting it off as nothing else is due! It will be expensive I think there are about 70 polishes this time, my Black Friday haulage was massive! I looked again at HHC and there wasn't anything I liked enough to order. I didn't go for FTLOP. I did get my Wildflowers, but it was a pain sorting out, went on their site to Stackry it with some last of stock items, but they'd all sold out when I got to checkout. So I went to Harlow instead, and it was saying some of the new ones were out of stock, so I ordered from Hypnotic - not enough for free shipping though. Then I noticed that the Harlow error message must have been some sort of glitch because they were all still in stock, really irritating as it would have been cheaper and I could also have used my points, but it was too late, order was made already. Oh well. Wildflower limited runs are crazy popular these days, I never seem to get them when I try.
I had two shipping notices, on 4th Jan for a small RC order (irritatingly one of my items was out of stock though, the main one I wanted as well :( ) and my PPU order on 6th, but neither has turned up yet.
I meant to tell you about my lovely BF Nailed It! delivery - it was such a nice little package! I ordered four polishes, all discounted. It arrived with a free polish, a keyring, a holo sticker, a candy cane, a sachet of hot chocolate and a big silver snowflake tree decoration - as well as a thank you card. Just lovely, and all that having just had a baby in the middle of the pre-order. I wouldn't have got any of that if I'd ordered from RC, including two of the polishes which were store exclusives. I should remember to order direct in future if I have an open box!

Oh that's really lovely of her. Is she a superwoman?

This just reminded me, I saw a while ago that the owner of Quixotic has pretty much disappeared. There have been a couple of posts in the fan group about how she's struggling, etc., but I'm skeptical. She hasn't been shipping since September, but she'd been active on other platforms up until November (can't remember what it was, like Mercari). Nobody knows (or is willing to say) what's going on with her, and apparently she's unable to communicate on social media/ in emails. She also left her shop open, so she was still taking orders until a few days ago, but not shipping and she's not issued any refunds. I'm just a bit wary of these things now, we've seen it all so many times, excuses after excuses, makers disappearing with customers' money. She must have someone to help her out with refunds if she really can't ship, and the shop should've been closed ages ago. It's all very odd.

I think she might be!
Thanks for the heads-up on Quixotic, it's odd how many polish people seem to do this.
I had noticed no Black Friday stuff or new releases for a while, a brand I only buy occasionally so I won't really miss them if they don't come back.
Still nothing from Great Lakes, I hope they return as I do like their polishes.
