Will do. I think she said up to 4 weeks, so it may be a while yet. I'm curious too, hope they're nice and preferably not a dupe for something I already own.

I did so well all week not buying anything and then I tripped up magnificently! 
I ordered 15 of the new CrowsToes polishes, 10 of the new multichromes (got standard and linear versions, except Indian Summer and Huginn & Munnin because I already have the original versions) and a few others I'd been eyeing up for a while. I'm not even sorry, lol.
I'm planning on buying a few Tonics and some other bits and bobs from RC next week as well as possibly a few of the new Glams, then I need to cool it again until mid-March. Luckily there's no big Femme Fatale collection coming out this month.
I did buy a few Vapids off someone in one of the Facebook groups, and there is a restock next week and I'm really torn whether I want Birthday Bitch, but it's the only polish I'd want, so I think I won't bother. With the shipping and consolidation fee added, it wouldn't be worth it. Anyway, here are the ones I bought:
I have a couple of manis to post as well. First one is Emily de Molly Reset Button with Emily de Molly Showdown. Love them both, but especially Reset Button. Reminds me of EP Monsters Ink, but I don't know how close they actually are. Both of these were on my must wear soon list.
My current mani is Lilypad Lacquer I Only Want What's Lime with decals.
Oh and have you seen the new ILNPs? Once again I don't really care for them, I like one of them (Yours Truly I think it's called, the purple one). Oh well, more money for other brands.

Thank you!!!
OMG I adore Love the Way You Lilac, it's one I hope she will be duping in this year's mysteries! It's gorgeous on you!
No EP Shipping Notice yet for me either.

If you're not sorry then it's a good day's shopping - looking forward to seeing them!
I'm undecided about the new Glams - when I saw the first bottle shots I was sure I would buy most of them but since seeing some of the swatches, I'm less sure (some pics look awesome, some seem insipid).
I haven't see all the ILNPs, but I'm not overly inspired by those I have seen so far.
Lovely manis - I think my fave is Reset Button, but I don't think I bought it. EdM has been a casualty of my cutting down attempts...

Thank you! That's funny actually because I'm really not bowled over by LTWYL. It's pretty, but not that special imo. So I really wouldn't mind not having a dupe for it, hahaha. Tell you what though, if she doesn't re-release it, I'll give you a decant from mine.
Well, I did feel guilty for placing a £150 order, but I've been pretty good this month otherwise and I know I'd want all the polishes eventually, so decided to go for it. Got free shipping, so that helped too.
I think I like 3 or 4 of the new Glams. Even the group exclusives don't appeal to either.
Thank you! Reset Button is gorgeous. I couldn't cut down on EdM, it's easily one of my favourite brands.
This is really cool.
My current mani is Dior Merveille with Mavala Sparkling Red on the accents. Both from my 2012 untried list. The Dior is more red less pink irl, in the bottle it also has a lot of gold shimmer that doesn't translate onto the nails.
I'm going to pick up my Femme Fatales later today. Was going to get them yesterday, but my daughter had to be picked up early from school, so I couldn't. Grrr!
Very inconsiderate of her to feel unwell, hahaha! She's alright though and has gone to school today.

Yes, me! At least there's something good today. And finally back in Germany, yay! You wouldn't believe how annoyed and pissed I was at everything in China lately. Of course, what happenend today at the airport was the cherry on top. I wanted to bring back some older FFs to sell them here, and some polishes I wanted to gift to some friends. When I checked in my bags I was told that they had to be checked in person in the back, and the woman there was a total b*. It was like arguing with a stone wall. I was told that nailpolishes are not allowed in baggage and I had to hand them over. I asked about ten times why that is so and if there're some regulations without any answers, and when I asked if I could pick them up when I come back to Shanghai I didn't get an answer the first five times either. And then it was a simple no. And "thank you for your cooperation". I was so angry I could have murdered her.
Oh well. Beautysofly will get the latest Femmes soon and also a gorgeous new collab (oops, I don't think I was supposed to tell that) and I'll get so much from The Little Mermaid.

That's just awful!
They just don't know what these polishes mean to us. But also, when was the last time a plane blew up because of some polishes on board? Idiots.Hope you receive the EPs while you're still in Germany.
And thanks for the heads up about the BSF exclusive, it seems all the stockists are getting some: RC, Hypnotic, Nailland, Shiro apparently. Haven't seen any of them yet though. I picked up the Little Mermaid polishes and the January releases on Tuesday, will post a picture tomorrow, they are all gorgeous!

Alright Ladies, I have pictures. At first I was really disappointed, but since people have figured out which polishes they might be dupes for, I'm much happier about February. January, not so much, I didn't really need yet another black holo. Anyway, here you go.
Apparently January is either a dupe for Chim Chimney or For the Win, and February is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I don't have either, but I don't really care for January, however, Lucy/February is pretty nice and VHTF. Here are some comparison swatches:
The black ones are Chim Chimney and January. But apparently it's more like For the Win, but the person doing the comparison didn't have that.

Chelsea has now confirmed that January was based on For The Win and February on Lucy. Still not thrilled about January, would've liked a bright colour instead. Oh well.
Here are my current haul pictures, first the Femme Fatales:
They are all incredibly gorgeous. Sophie seems to come up with the most amazing combos and colours.
Also a Rainbow Connection order. Had to get her exclusive Tonics. The Answer is 42 is amazing!
I had to photograph the Color Alikes separately because the orange and the yellow are so neon, they threw my camera out, it couldn't cope, hahaha.
I was really bad this week, placed far too many orders and now I really need to stop. Somebody slap my wrist please!
Onto manis, my first one is CbL Aubergine Dreams with Darling Diva Holiday on top of the accents. The CbL is nice, the DD is meh, didn't really know what to do with it. I also have 2 dupes (Starrily and Liquid Sky Lacquer), I need to sell them, one is plenty enough of this type of topper.
My current mani is Femme Fatale Cerulean Views. So pretty, love it so much.

Oo, that's a lovely offer, thank you!
I've skipped the Glams - I felt the same as you about the Group colours this month and I only want 2 of the new collection, so I'll wait till next month and see if there's more I want to justify that hefty shipping fee.
That's a stunning red, high end indeed (I don't own a single high-end polish - even though I now realise I spend more than that on many of the indies!!!)

I wouldn't have bought these if I'd seen them in advance, I'm going off the idea of dupes...!
But thanks for the pics anyway, good to get excitement levels under control before disappointing package opening...

No problem. I probably won't wear it again (realisticly, I probably won't wear any of my other nail polishes again for the next decade anyway, hahaha).
I ended up buying 4 of the new Glams and Evil Genius after she offered $5 discount in the group (did you see it?). Not the group colours though, only got 4 from the new collection.
Thanks. I haven't bought any high end polishes in ages myself. I only have a handful of Diors, Chanels and a few Guerlains, and 3 YSL that I often use for stamping as they're silver, gold and rose gold and perfect for stamping.
Yeah, mine did too, so I quickly consolidated everything and they're being picked up by DHL today. Hoping they'll be here by Friday. Not so much because of the EPs (I share your lack of excitement), but the other polishes.
I like February and the original Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is pretty and very sought after, but I hadn't even heard of For the Win and it wouldn't have been one I'd have bought either. Hopefully there'll be some better colours going forward.
Thank you. Hey, guess what, I've managed to sell the two identical toppers already! Yay, go me!

I got Evil Genius before - it's so pretty!
I did get the code, but I didn't use it.
Well done on a quick sale!
