Lovely! I like it better on you than I do on me!!!
To be honest, I wasn't very keen on the colour on me either. Anyway, it's gone now (not the polish, just the mani) and I've just replaced it with CbL Gizmo which I do love on me. Pictures tomorrow.

Looks nice! I have not worn this one yet.


I'm thinking of getting this one, too!


EdM is great! Waiting for the restock...


Thanks, kimibos!

Hmm, it doesn't seem that special to me, now I'm pretty happy I didn't order it. Nice mani though, it's not your fault I'm not crazy about the polish.

Well, here are some of my recent manis:

Manhattan Emerald Green and Essence topcoat

Manhattan My Magnolia with Color Club Beyond

Hi Anneri!

Is the base clear or a very sheer black? It looks blackish in bottle pics but the glitter might be deceiving. If it's clear I'd probably go for it if she restocks it again. Ha, I always seem to grill you about your manis/polishes, I just really like your taste.

Beautiful, especially the sand manis. I'm not a fan of plain sand/texture polishes but the kind of matte ones with more or less subtle glitter look so pretty and classy.

Gute Besserung für Dein Knie!


Well, I wanted to use China Glaze - Riveting for my Halloween mani but it hasn't arrived yet. I ordered it at the very beginning of October from an ebay seller based in the USA and the tracking stille says "dispatched to sort facility", that can't be right? I'm aware sometimes it takes up to 4 weeks for stuff to arrive from the US but usually it's only 10-14 days and even if this order takes so long, shouldn't the tracking have updated to "processed through sort facility" and "depart from sort facility" a long time ago? Hm.

Aww, thank you, rekhyt! Well, the base is actually neither. The glitter is black holo I think, but the mani (it is 2 layers by itself, no base) looks more blurplish than black (I think EP has a dark base in their pic). It is probably better as a TC (I will combine it with Beat It later) than on it's own. The base is not clear but filled with pink-purplish micro shimmer/glitter. Against a strong light the base looks transparent in my mani though.

Are you sure the tracking works? If it's a letter, it's not working.

Lovely manis, Anneri! The sands especially. How do you like Beyond? I was trying to buy it, but for some reason this collection has been rather limited on eBay.

PS Do you still have living plants outside?


That's surprising!

It's pure holo glitter = Anitacska written all over it!

Thanks, MRV! No restock announced yet, so there's still time for me to make up my mind.

Ah well, regarding shipping speed, I'm probably spoiled by Llarowe. Today I got my order that was sent last friday.
icon_eek.gif
That's super fast.

I've got to say CbL turned into my favourite indie brand within weeks. Her colours and the quality of the polish are outstanding. Gunfighter and Twinkle, Twinkle.. look amazing in the bottles, can't wait to put these on.

I used her deep black holo for my Halloween mani... it's not only a one-coater but also black black, not the charcoal kind one usually gets with black holos.



Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a good time.

Nice! I'm thinking of those golden and blue Orlys. How do you like them? Which Wing Dust did you get?


Yes, I saw these last night. They look pretty nice. But

I have managed to buy only 2 KBShimmers so far. There's just too many brands, although I'm in a fairly good position with many.


Hope you got some sleep though end everything's fine. We did not get anything else than some rain and stormy wind here after all. It has not even rained today.

Yesterday I got my Hare and (first) CbL oders!

Thankfully the weather has been better, no more storm so far. Let's hope it will stay that way.


There are pics of the CG Spring and Summer collections:

Nothing exciting there for me. Only the nude from the spring one maybe.

Thanks for the getting well wishes, everyone! Yes indeed MRV, there're still living plants outside. Today in fact was the first day it was quite cold outside - I guess there'll be night frosts soon. But we had a nice warm autumn! Rekhyt, danke! I just love your manis! I'm absolutely rubbish at stamping - any advice? Here's my Halloween mani - Essie For the Twill of it with an additional bat!

I cannot wait for tomorrow! I want to order from INP and Harlow & Co (the new KBShimmer collection). I will probably blow my entire monthly budget just on them. I do have some stuff selling on eBay again, so it's not all bad, lol. I did also place an order with Rainbow Connection as they had a 13% off code just for today. But I don't care, I NEED more nail polish!!!

I don't hate it, I'm just relieved I don't love it as much as I thought I would since I skipped it. I'm sure I'd like it if I had it, but since I don't, I'm not that fussed. Love your Halloween mani! Here's mine (nothing special, no stamping or anything extra, just CbL Gizmo). Such great formula and a lovely finish, but sadly it did chip very quickly which I wasn't pleased about. I had a chip first thing in the morning, even though I only painted my nails last night, and then I'm sure the pumpkin carving didn't help either as now I have loads of chips. Poo. I wish my Llarowe orders arrived that quickly, they used to be quite quick, but now it's a minimum of 2 weeks. They send them off to a lady in the UK who then sorts them and sends them to me, so they don't get destroyed by the Royal Mail. So it takes absolutely forever to arrive. Nothing excites me, but thanks for the links, Naynadine! Lovely Halloween mani! And here's a cute kitten just for fun:
so cute!! I wish I could order the new I love np colors but I can't :/ I have to wait lol Are u gonna get all of them? Lol I like some of the KB shimmer colors too but I do t want more brands! :/ but ill prob cave eventually!

Those things taste like heaven. We don't have them here, too bad germans didn't get the memo yet that chocolate+peanut butter is the best taste combo since, I don't know... ever?!
That polish is very halloween-ish.

I love seeing all the Halloween manis.

Wut? no Reese's? That's nuts!

I went down and grabbed the mail a few minutes ago and somebody must have put out more candy in the lobby(there was some out on monday too) and I grabbed another Reese's cup and a little bag of reese's pieces. Why not take two and be a pig... everyone else is probably getting into bed anyway LOL
