Ugh, for some reason I can't quote half of your post? I had to copy and paste. Anyway, where did you get the Deborah Lippmann polishes from? So far I've only found them on eBay at ridiculous prices and from a german webshop for similarly ridiculous amount. We don't seem to get these LE/seasonal DL polishes in the UK for some reason. Thanks!
HOB, same about your mani, gorgeous green!
I've tried my first ever liquid sand (OPI) today, the purple one from the Mariah collection, I'm not too sure about it, it looks okay with a topcoat, but still not too great. Eh, I don't know.
Oh and my Lilypad package has finally arrived! Will take pictures tomorrow! Bizarrely I don't know if it's the original one or the second one as there's no date or watermark on the envelope. Weird, huh?
Monsy, I love your mani, that purple Zoya is gorgeous!Glitters please!
Awesome!I should so get Zoyas, too, but there are so many to get!
We don't have it either here. What are you hoping to get?
That's great news! The shipping is annoying but it's so nice to get a package.
Ok, haul pics. First the DL haul (forgot to include Mermeid's Kiss and Eyes):
And today's haul: Isadora Ocean Crush, Dior Rouge Garconne & Aloha.

Wait til you slap a top coat over it. My Confidential received the Poshe treatment when I got bored of it after 2 days but the mani was still as good as new so I didn't have the heart to remove it. Enter Poshe and BAM!And here's Alcatraz Rocks on my nails. The polish of the moment, it seems! There wasn't much sun when I took this so you don't get the full effect of the sparkles, but I love it. Got a compliment on this today too

Cadillacquer Masterpiece, 3 coats. I'm amazed at how vividly the red glitters show up in the jelly base.

I noticed that too! When she restocked the EdM polishes I thought about ordering some more, but once I went over 6, the shipping cost went through the roof, so I decided to stick with just 6. Now regretting not getting Monet's Garden, maybe I need to place another order....
Respect!
I hope I can snag Takko Nirvana the next Llarowe restock. Their own store doesn't offer international shipping.
Jessica has a set called Hologram Chic, which consists of a holo base coat and a silver holo polish. If the reviews are anything to go by the base coat is comparable to the NfuOh one. And the silver holo is very strong. I have no idea if this set is available at the other side of the pond but it might be worthwhile to check it out if you need (or want, but not need) a good silver holo as well as a holo base.
I'm very pleased with the new EdM glitters. I have no doubt you'll love them too
Which holos are you considering?
LOL at immortalising the box. You should have stuck it in a bucket of formaldehyde and preserved it for future generations.
I have a feeling I know where all those funds went
What didn't you like about Essie DJ? It looks good to me, with or without the holo top coat.
re: MeiMei - I paid SGD26 for 7 bottles of EDM. I have no idea how much she actually paid to ship them because the packet arrived when mum was staying at mine and she has a habit of binning things the moment she lays her hands on them.
MeiMei does indeed calculate shipping on the basis of value. Had I bought 8 bottles I'd be looking at SGD45 in shipping costs
I'm so happy your interview went well. Your MeiMei order couldn't have arrived at a better time.

OK, it's all y'all's fault.
I just placed my third order with Llarowe, my first with the new cart, with special tip o' the hat to kimibos for the discount code. And i got free 2nd day shipping, OMG! So i should have it Thursday, depending on when the order gets fullfilled. New mani here i come...
I ordered:
----- Cadillacquer Keep Breathing - light teal crelly with small lavender and violet hexes and white and green iridescent flakies (yeah, it's in the "Dexter" collection)
----- Cadillacquer Masterpiece - jade green crelly with multi-sized fresh blood red glitters and hexes (also in the "Dexter" collection)
----- Crows Toes Umm, No... He Went to the Pawn Shop - this topper has a clear base with copper, gold, teal, and iridescent multi-sized glitters (the name is a reference to advertisements for a mall jewelry chain, in which women show off their jewelry, cooing, "He went to Jared!")
----- Crows Toes Cheshire - a topper crammed with a multitude of shapes and sizes of violet, magenta, gold, and holo glitters, from huge hexes to small glitter.
----- Crows Toes Absolum/Your Potions Master - this topper, a salute to Alan Rickman, is jam packed with multi-sized hexes in silver, turquoise, green, and orange, as well as some black bars.
----- Glimmer by Erica Muy Caliente - clear base with red, orange, & yellow hexes of various sizes - can work alone or as a topper
----- Jindie Hex on the Beach - pale peach crelly with yellow, pink, red, bronze, and white glitter
----- Jindie Water 4 Elephants - medium gray crelly with multi-sized metallic and holographic hexes in blue, green, iridescent blue/green and square glitters and color shifting shimmering pigment. This didn't look exciting in thumbnail photos, but the close-ups convinced me, when i saw the iridescence!
----- Jindie Princess Consuela Bananahammock - yeah, it's yellow crelly with matte satin red, pink, and orange hexes and tiny red stars. So? Wanna make something of it? (the name is a reference to "Friends", a show i did not care for, since i don't like comedies - they make me tense)
So, 5 glitter polishes, 3 glitter toppers, and one that swings both ways.
The new cart was a bit frustrating... I was checking for close-ups of the polishes to help me make up my mind, then i finally decided, applied my discount code, checked off the box for shipping, clicked secure check out... and THEN my cart timed out. Grrrrrr. So i went back to do it all over again, but i kinda remembered what i'd picked, so it didn't take as long. And since i'd placed an order some months ago, my shipping and billing info was in the system. Whew!
Some are a bit atypical for me - pastels that aren't purple? pink? red? orange? yellow? - but i often try to break out of my ruts. I doubt i'll ever be caught wearing a plain red creme nail polish, but i've got polishes in my wish list which will be great toppers over the one red (free from sephora) in my stash.
And since i found my camera, i may even take a mani-pic.

I cant wait to wear this one ( AR)! I just wore Solitare last night , its so pretty!A mani and today's new arrival to share:
A-England Rose Bower. Sooo beautiful (much more gorgeous IRL) but it chipped quickly, which isn't my usual experience with AE.
OPI Alcatraz... Rocks
Several attempts at trying to capture it properly, at a glance it looks blue but close up it's full of purple and green sparkle. As the AE had to come off I've put this on already
Would you believe this is my first textured polish?! I'm not 100% convinced yet and might stick a topcoat over it after a couple of days, but we shall see.
The whole of the rest of this collection (except the other liquid sands) is on its way to me too!
I cant wait to wear RB either, I don't think I can wait till Christmas time to use it lol

CC, thank you so much!!!Naughty, I'm really sorry to hear that you're having such a rough time right now. My condolences to your mom and her boyfriend. It's great that you have nail polish to bring you some joy. I'm wishing you the very best and we're all here for you.
I love your mani pics! Very creative and fun to look at. Keep them coming.
Glad you got them! Now I want to see fun mani pics of you wearing them.
Im glad you all like my pics, I feel the pressure now lol . It means a lot to come here and feel the support from everyone!
I have to tell you , I worked 16 hours on Saturday and could not wait to get home and open my box!
I felt happier than a child on Christmas morning!!
I opened the box and unwrapped the polishes and stared at the boxes
I was breathless lol and the polishes are to die for!!
I loved your card and I have been waiting to have time to let you know how much I appreciate your services and I need to send you another list lol
You are truly the Queen of Specktra!

Hello all! I did haul today (no matter that I don't know if I get the job or not) - here's my np haul minus Chanel Elixir.
There's a new shopping mall with a Kiko store that opened last week, and they had nearly all nps on sale - for 1,50€! So I got the ones above plus I had some vouchers from a different store and got some Indulge and Chanel items. I also got Illamasqua Facet! That's a really beautiful and complex colour! Looking forward to use it!!!
