GORGEOUS haul CC!Some haul pics!
Colors by Llarowe: (Row 1) Runt; Beam Me Up Scotty; Unzipped; Monkey See, Monkey Do; Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star; (Row 2) Leather & Lace; Coconut; Tequila IV; Licorice; Root Beer; Bubs Don't Make Bubbas
I finally have Runt! I'm so hooked on Colors by Llarowe polishes. I ordered during the latest pre-order and got 20 of the 25 new Holiday/Winter colors. I'm going back for the remaining 5 when they're restocked in December.
Dollish Polish: (Row 1) Welcome To Camp Crystal Lake; 1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You; What An Excellent Day For An Exorcism; They're Coming To Get You Barbara; The Curse Of Michael Myers; Redrum; (Row 2) I'm the ghost with the most, babe; I wanna do bad things with you; Sugar Plum Fairy; Gym, Tan, Laundry
These are 2 different Dollish Polish orders combined. I grabbed the Halloween colors when she did a sale for them at the end of October. I modified my Dollish bottles by pulling off the square tops like Illamasqua. They're not meant to come off, but they can come off... with some work. Some of the square caps were very stubborn and didn't want to budge, but they eventually saw things my way. I like the bottles better with the square caps off because I can see the colors in my storage drawer without having to pull them out.
Hare Polish: Rise; & (Ampersand); Shine; Anemone Gardens
Zoya: (Row 1) Dhara; Sunshine; Tomoko; (Row 2) Ziv; Giovanna; Raven
I ordered these during Zoya's Team Spirit sale. They came in a nice little black box. I won't keep my polishes in the boxes, though. I'm thinking about buying other Zoya colors to put in them and giving them away as gifts.
INP: (Row 1) Cygnus Loop; Birefringence;Mutagen;My Little Glacier; (Row 2) Washing Ashore; Purgatory; Absolute Zero; Grape Alicious; Contraband
I got sucked into another brand and bought some INP polishes! I ordered during the pre-order period and got Absolute Zero for free. But I didn't order as soon as the pre-order launched and didn't have to go through the queue system. I was just able to order everything immediately. I decided not to get the holo version of the ultra chromes. I'll wait for comparison swatches, or will just add a holo top coat if I want. I swatched them on my nails when I got them and wasn't blown away. But I swatched them at night with my horrible lighting. I'm hoping that my face will melt when I try them in the sunlight. Of course, after I thought I finally had all of my polishes organized and sorted, I now need to buy a 5th storage drawer to accommodate this new brand.

Very pretty mani. Your nails do look strong & healthy.Almost forgot to post this, my current mani, Butter London Lovely Jubbly over Zoya Mason.
Also, note how good my nails are looking! Since I started using the Sally Hansen Maximum Growth cuticle pen and base coat, they have stopped pealing almost completely and they actually look okay without nail polish on, whereas before they looked terrible. Very pleased!

I think it's called Maximum Growth nail and cuticle treatment. It's a click pen so you can brush it on your nails and cuticles. It's more of an oil than a cream.
Thanks!
Yrs, I use it as base coat every other day.I know!! I headed out in a short sleaved blouse and jacket/gloves/head scarf and it was COLD coming home. Winter jacket time! Downtown was just covered in ice, it was scary walking. Great pictures! I appreciate the time you took to label everything too!
Thank you!

I actually don't wear green polish, but I feel drawn to dark greens during this time of the year...

I like this one a lot! I think you could have a lot of fun striping that one with gold or bronze polishes as well.MRV, Naughtyp, and Pinkdollface: Great manis!

1920's nails:
So from what I (and you guys!) could put together from the internet: Reds, pinks, plums
The style: Leave the half moon at the base blank, and also a little at either side (So sort of a curved stripe down the middle).
Dear lord why?: Nail polish was expensive, and it showed that you had someone to do you nails for you, because the look 'was impossible to get at home'.
How hard can it be?
&*^*&^*(&(&
Tip 1: When buying paper whole protectors to cut in half to use to keep the tips of your nails clear from polish NEVER ever buy those new fangled clear ones. They don't stick worth beans. Get the old fashioned white ones. Also, you lose them everywhere.
I wound up noticing them pulling up when I was half way through, and had to go through (with wet nails!!) and tape all them down. Not soon enough, as a lot of q-tip cleanup was required after.
Also, why did I pick a jelly red for this? Because it is my favourite red I suppose. Pick something nice and easy, preferably a one-coat wonder. This one seemed to take forever to dry.
The result was a hot mess. A hot mess of stickies, tape, q-tips etc. A hot mess involving red nail polish.
End result: I don't even particularly like it. Somehow the style wound up making my tips look a lot more yellow than they are (even in comparison to the clear sides). Now I have to go buy more cotton balls so I can put on real polish before work on Monday.
I created this look with Revlon Glimmer Gloss in Cherry Fizz which I can honestly say is one of my few non-topper polishes that is now half used up.

Some October hauls that I haven't posted.
Picture Polish: Siren Song; Jasmine; Imperial
Takko Lacquer: Va Va Voom; Opium; Muse
The Takko website is having a restock tomorrow, by the way. The colors currently on the site may not all be available tomorrow. The selection usually changes shortly before the restock. I'm hoping Bright Young Things will be restocked because it's the only color that I'm missing with the new bottle design.
Colors by Llarowe: Precious Metal; Gunfighter; Sizzlin' Liz; Voodoo; Mustang Sally
Enchanted Polish: All Love Garden; September 2013; To Die For; Vampire's Suck
I just recently made the connection that All Love Garden = Olive Garden.
Hare Polish:
I also found two haul pics from September that I think I forgot to post.
Emily de Molly: Abstract Canvas; Bo Peep; Regal beginnings;
Femme Fatale Cosmetics: A Tisket, A Tasket; Lime Thief; Stonemother's Kiss; Burning Blossom; Picture Polish:
