Two more manis I didn't get around to posting earlier. First is Illyrian Polish Enigma.

My current mani is Glam Polish Take on Me with Femme Fatale Gilded Rose. I'm going to try to do something more festive next.

Great choice if I may say so! ;)

Oh good grief, that's a delivery!!! So many pretties, I'm in lust. Especially the Tonics, I know what's next on my list now.

Thank you! I really love them all. I did spend a lot last month, so this month I've been really good. So far I've only ordered the 3 EPs and 2 FFs. I will order the Tonics before the end of the month though, I want the 3 new Multichrome Madness exclusives and the giftset.


That Illyrian is another stunner, I think I have it and now I want to wear it!
Also a pretty pink mani.

Thank you! I actually ordered the Illyrian by mistake, I didn't really like the green flakies, but the shift is really pretty and the flakies look like they glow, it's a very nice polish.

My tiny little Femme Fatale order (only the cotms this month):

I've just ordered a couple of purple samples in the sample sale, but those won't be here until February.

Still being very good and have only bought 7 polishes so far this month.

Here are a couple more recent manis, first is Tonic Polish Slitherin' with freehand fairy lights nail art.

My current mani is Pahlish Asteroid B-612 with Enchanted Polish Cray Cray (2012 untried!)

That's a pretty little package - the one on the right is such a lovely colour!
Well done on the cutting back too, I'm failing as i've bought EPs, Ever Afters and am about to buy Tonics...
Your manis are really pretty, your freehand drawing is impressive! And your purple mani is really cute - is Cray Cray a glitter?

Extremely disappointed with the EP mysteries. Apparently they're dupes for Austin Powers, Sour Patch Kid and Britney Spearmint. I have 2 of them and do not like the orange. I'm definitely done with her mysteries, but also quite likely her brand as a whole.

Wow. I am with you 100%.

I cannot believe that these (and the others she released this year) were the most requested. She is delusional. But then again, how would she know, she doesn't have any interaction with her fans/customers. She is literally the only maker I'm aware of that's not in any of her fan groups. Anyway, I'm done with her mysteries. If she brings out ones I like and I can buy them second hand, that's good, if not, I'll live.

I'm also planning on getting the new Tonics (5) this month, so that will bring my total to 12. Not too bad. But seriously regretting the $52 I spent on the EPs. :(
Thank you! Cray Cray is very fine holo glitter.

A little haul from Mei Mei through a friend (I was muling for her from the US and we've finally managed to meet up and swap our polishes). She gifted me the topcoat.

My last couple of manis, first up is Femme Fatale Aurora (thermal) with Sayuri The World is Yours (from my favourites list):

My current and very festive mani is Enchanted Polish Desert Night Sky with some stamping and vinyls. I really like it, but the EP was very thick and hard to use. I had to add thinner to it.

I look forward to hearing what you think of it! What other did you get?
I got the polishes the other day. The brown one does not look too bad. It seems to have some golden glitter in it and it’s on the taupe side. I have not swatched it though so we’ll see. The other one was only Charmed. I had not ordered it before.

I have not received these yet though. I also think they do not look like ’the most requested ones’.

These are even more disappointing in person. :mad:

Oh dear.

People are now saying that Holiday isn't an Austin Powers dupe, just a gold holo. I have AP and it's really pretty, so while I wasn't keen on having a dupe, at least it was an interesting colour. Plain gold holo is meh.

Britney Spearmint is nice, but I have it already. I think my biggest problem with these mysteries, well, two big problems, are that hardly any of them were bright and pretty and they're not the colours everyone was expecting. While I have dupes of a few very coveted ones, at least an Awesomeness or IKOABD dupe would have been pretty. And I really wanted Ocean Potion and December 2012. :(

Regardless of whether she carries on with the mysteries next year or not, I'm out. I'd rather buy second hand for more money than from her. Ugh.

Edited to add: Apparently December isn't really a dupe of anything either, from what I've seen it's like a mix of Britney Spearmint and A Little Fishy Told Me. I can't see how Little Fishy was that coveted, I've seen it for sale at just over retail several times. :confused:
