It's very pretty though! But yes, Secret Sauce isn't really that great, I've only tried it once, but it didn't do anything to me.I'm trying to comment later in the evening (a busy day ahead), but here's my new mani with FF Deepstone and EP Secret Sauce (ring finger). SS does not seem to do much on Deepstone (even though I put 2 layers), there's only a reddish cast that sometimes shifts to green or golden. Aaand Deepstone chipped already! Well that is a first.
I wore EP Water for Unicorns for 3 days and I was very happy with it. Not only it's a very unique colour, it didn't chip on me for 2 whole days and only started chipping when I was scrubbing the oven for an hour!

Do you think The Uptown is also similar to Fantasy Fire? I was so tempted to order it, but I've got FF and the flakey tc I'm wearing in the picture above. Here's today's haul.This is quite funny, I've just painted my nails with OPI Plum and Get It topped with Color Club The Uptown, so my nails look very similar to the first picture!

I received my other OPI polishes (DS Lapis, DS Pewter and the Pure top coat). I just did my nails with DS Lapis and OMG it's stunning
It's super easy to apply and it completely covers the nails in one coat, I still applied two, because that's what I like to do. I think it gives it just a bit more depth. It dries matte, but I applied a top coat to make it shiny and sparkly. It looks very glittery, but it doesn't feel like glitter on your nails at all.
Edit: I just realized I wrote "my other OPI polishes", but I can't remember posting I received the first package. I also got the package with the 5 Mariah Carey polishes I ordered. I'm really amazed how fast all the packages arrived.

I am a bit behind on my photos, here are my two recent (Emily de Molly) manis:
First is Pyrite, which is so much more stunning than it has any right to be. If I didn't have other colours to try I would go right back to this one:
Current Mani is Emily de Molly Blue Prediction, one of her new ones. You do need to turn the bottle upside down for a bit to get the larger glitters mixed in, but even without them (I didn't have time!) this mani is very pretty. Keep in mind I took the photos today, and put the polish on Sunday night:

No, Fantasy Fire hasn't got the flakies The Uptown has. But it's similar to those Kleancolor flakies, with the exception of having a tinted base. I did actually use it over purple, but I have seen the swatches saying it's pretty opaque in 3 coats. It's very pretty. I will upload my mani pictures later.

I'm gonna try these Reece's stuff soon! There's an American candy shop in a nearby big town where I'm going tomorrow, hope they stock them there.
There's also a website you can order them from plus some Salmiakki (Finnish liquorice). Om nom nom!
Here's my mani with Color Club The Uptown (over a purple OPI polish):
It looks like it's glowing and the colour change is really gorgeous. Imo it's nothing like Fantasy Fire, but it is similar to the Kleancolor flakies.
My Harlow & Co order has arrived as well as a small order from Rainbow Connection:
I love them all, but especially Toast-ess With The Mostest (second picture, far left). It is just gorgeous!
Llarowe has been posting swatches of her new polishes on Facebook and oh my! I can see another big haul coming up!

Thanks Naynadine! I really did hit the puppy jackpot. I met Abby's sister on Monday. A friend of mine purchased Abby's sister. We live a state apart some we found aAw, more Reese's... the torture!
What a cutie! She looks so sweet, Medgal.
place to meet that was somewhere in the middle. It turned out to be a pet-friendly winery. We had a fab day, the sister pups were reunited and my friend and I did some
wine tasting!!!

I had a long day shopping and came home to find 2 packages with my missing polishes! Turns out I miscounted and was only missing 3 polishes from my Llarowe order, but still, that package took a whole week to arrive whereas the other 2 took just 2 days! WTF Royal Mail?
I also got my Tongue & Chic that was left out of my Nail Polish Direct order. Yay!
Hare Dancing Bird of Paradise, CbL Sizzlin' Liz, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, CG Tongue & Chic
I also went shopping and bought this lot:
Westminster Bridge Road, Buckingham Court
Just Be-Claws, Santa Red My List, Put a Bow On It, Be Merry Be Bright
And look what else I got!

I didn't get any Salmiakki since I went to the American candy shop, but I actually still have some left from my trip to Sweden in June.Salmiakki!I need to get The Uptown, it looks lovely. Awesome haul, you got most of the KBS collection.
GREENS!!!I'm ready!
And sadly so true!
Sadly I didn't get the snowflake glitters and Green Hex and Glam from KBShimmer, but Harlow & Co will be restocking soon I believe, so hopefully I can.
It's funny, since I've seen a lot more of the Llarowe collection I'm actually quite surprised how little I want. Also, Darling Diva has a new holo collection out on Saturday, but I think I might just be all holo'd out!
