EP pre-order for November, December and Holiday 2017 this Sunday!

Let's hope none of them will look like baby poo. :p

I'm back and forth on the Tonic release today. What are you all picking up?

Nothing.

Not because I don't like them, I do very much, but since it's a pre-order, I'm going to wait until after Christmas to order. It's partly for financial reasons and partly because I don't want anything in my Stackry box until the new year. I need to empty it by the 15th and this order wouldn't arrive by then.

I will buy the holiday duo and the new MM trio. I already have the Golden Girls ones.

Well, I've begrudgingly ordered the 3 EP mysteries, really hope they'll be worth it. Spending $52.50 on a 3 unseen polishes was pretty hard. I'm definitely done with her mysteries though.

I don’t mind the brown but I almost missed out on these. There was no message, I just happened to check my mails late last night.

I don’t think she will make any more monthly mysteries. I just need the cart or a preorder, or it’s not going to happen. (You have to write your contact info and all!)

Weird, I got an e-mail a few days ago. Glad you didn't miss out after all.

I think she will. But I'm not buying. I'm also not buying if she's not providing any swatches in advance. I'd rather spend $12-13 on Tonics than $16 on EPs and have all the hassle of her restocks. Meh.

Phew, I was so busy all week, I didn't have any time to come on here. Can't believe there's only 9 days left until Christmas. I've been trying to buy presents for my children, but this year they're proving a bit more difficult than usual. Getting there though.

My Stackry package is out for delivery, it was scheduled for yesterday, but I missed it. I'm definitely not missing it today. My Girly Bits order came the other day, I love her polishes so much.

Also here are some recent mani pictures. First is Vapid Lacquer Cyber Punk with Different Dimension Morning Star. The Vapid is amazing!

Next is Femme Fatale Deepsea Charm (thermal) with Femme Fatale Snowy Bramble. The thermal is a bit more subtle than others, but I do like it. And considering that it's 4 years old, it's still transitioning.

Next is Bear Pawlish The Pigeon with Cupcake Polish Shuttle Ride. The stamping was kind of inspired by my jumper, plus it was on the day when we had a tiny bit of snow.

Makes sense for you. Yeah, I got it plus one that I hadn't ordered yet (that's the optimum amount for me - no taxes), although I've been thinking of not buying much any more, haven't yet pushed the button for FF this month either.

Talking about EP, I was wondering the other day about the Nov and Dec monthlies. They are not out yet? Hope I have not missed out on them.

And, is the cart back?

I look forward to hearing what you think of it! What other did you get?

Right I have 10 minutes before I have to cook dinner to post some haul and mani pictures.

My Femme Fatale UK group buy from October/November (incl. 2 of the Beauty So Fly exclusives):

I've only ordered the 2 cotms, I just don't have the funds to buy the Labyrinth polishes right now. I only really like 3 anyway. I want a lot of Tonics instead, the restock is this Saturday on the Tonic site.
Your manis look nice on you - not at alll my colours, but cool! I think the FF thermal is really interesting, especially in the third pic.
Manis: First one is Marks & Spencer Lilac (2012 untried) with L. A. Girl Double Platinum

Next is Femme Fatale Red Riding Hood (thermal) with Femme Fatale Eventide

Nice haul - especially like the look of the Tonic. I'm finding I'm skipping FF now, too many other things I want these days, and I often find them a bit disappointing IRL compared to online. So no Labyrinths for me, though a couple of them do appeal.

A few more manis, next up is Polished for Days Aurora with Too Fancy Lacquer The Patronus Charm and foil stamping. I was really pleased with how the stamping turned out and Aurora is stunning too.

I've decided I'd do at least 2 winter/Christmas themed nail art a week. I've got really lazy with nail art and I miss doing it, so I'm going to try very hard.

My second one is Cupcake Polish Blood Hound with Bear Pawlish Love Song. I stamped with China Glaze Wanderlust because I thought white would be a bit too stark.

My current mani is Femme Fatale Odelette. Trying to go through my untried thermals this winter, I have so many, I'm afraid they'll stop working before I get round to using them.

Right, that's me done. :)

That first mani is to die for! I have Aurora and it looks awesome, and your stamping is absolutely stunning. Love it! The pink one looks so pretty too.

I got them too, wondering what she'll do next year to see if I'll be involved or not. I remember back in the day the monthlies were not mysteries, that was so much better.

These are all lovely - and you definitely captured the spirit of the jumper!

I've been feeling the same way about FF, but I've been in denial about it for some reason. :p

Really? I love FFs. I've been swatching my untried FFs to see what they look like, because they often look different in the bottle and there are so many pretties!

That first mani is to die for! I have Aurora and it looks awesome, and your stamping is absolutely stunning. Love it! The pink one looks so pretty too.

Thank you!

I have to say, i quite like it! Not enough to buy it alone though, no regrets!

I think my issue is "quite like it" just isn't worth $16. (And I don't like it.)

I got them too, wondering what she'll do next year to see if I'll be involved or not. I remember back in the day the monthlies were not mysteries, that was so much better.

I remember that! It was much better.

I don't care what she does next, I'm finished with the mysteries once and for all.

These are all lovely - and you definitely captured the spirit of the jumper!

Thank you!
