I think the Tonic is my least favorite in the box. The Polished for Days is my favorite of the three. I also purchased the last box Tonic was in and I haven't worn it yet but loved the others... I think it was a space themed box? Anyway sometimes I think it is easy to get into the hype for a certain brand and you don't judge it appropriately. I mean it might be gorgeous in person but from what I have seen it doesn't look like anything super special.

I think I have major FOMO when it comes to Tonic (more so than EP nowadays). I didn't buy the December box with Mulled Wine and Mistletoe because the other two polishes were very similar to ones I have already and really regretted it. I bought the space one, that was the one with the 5 polishes, wasn't it? Event Horizon is one of my favourite Tonics.

Alright, time for some manis. First is Glam Polish Serendipity with Rica Gnome Regrets. They actually look very similar, but the Rica has some tiny glitter too.

Next is Cupcake Polish Some Berry to Love with Glam Polish What a Feeling. I loved this mani, the Cupcake is gorgeous and the Glam is a fun polish.

This is Emily de Molly Twilight's Flight with Vapid Unicorn Egg. I love the EdM, it's so gorgeous.

There's more! This is Polished for Days Rudolph with Polished for Days Ceres. Loved this mani, especially Rudolph!

Next is CrowsToes 1 Murder Please & Hold the Glitter (linear) with Starrily Prince Charming.

Next is Emily de Molly Vivid Dreams, this is such a gorgeous polish too!

My current mani is Color Club Wild at Heart (2012 untried) with Barielle Shannon's Attitude. The Color Club is without topcoat, because the topcoat dulled the holo effect. The Barielle is a very sheer jelly polish with some glitter, it's going straight on my destash list, it's very bleugh.

Right, that is all, folks!

I've been really busy and stressed out, so not really had time to crop and upload pictures, but I thought I'd show you my Stackry package that came on Monday.

I'm really happy with everything. The Tonics and PfDs are probably my favourite, but I'm generally very pleased with it all. I went a bit mad, but it's my birthday soon, so we'll blame it on that, hahaha!

That is a stylish haul! Some stunning things in there... I'm sure I see some FTLOP items I'm now wishing I'd bought!
Happy birthday when it comes!
I hope you're less stressed by then

I hope this color gets restocked. It looks wonderful and I was really impressed with the formula on the Passion Fruit

I hope you can get it, I love mine!

These are all very me! I will say that my absolute fave is Rudolph - I love it on you, and I loved it when I opened my own bottle. That's one I would definitely like to wear soon.

Thanks! Wallet friendly?? Not sure if I have room for new lines.

Apparently they're 9 ml minis. I don't really understand why she's launching more nail polish when it's supposed to be a cosmetics line. Why not just keep polishes with the normal EP brand?

Happy belated birthday, Anita! I was still thinking it was March or something, but no wonder, the Easter was full winter and we even got more snow this week. Finally, the spring is (almost) in the air, and we might stay above 0 C degrees next week.

Uh, I don't want to start collecting something new.

Thank you! It's actually this coming Sunday, so you're not late!

We also had a crappy March, had snow twice which isn't like the UK at all, especially the South of England! It's nice now at least, we have 16 degrees forecast for today and sunshine! :sunshine:

I wanted to hate them, but I adore the red and turquoise ones. I may have to buy (assuming I can get them of course!)

Unfortunately my camera is playing up, so I've done this week's mani pix on my phone - never really used its camera, so they're not that great. Unlike the polish, which is awesome!

Hopefully my pics will improve for next time! And I'm not sure why the second one is showing upside down, it doesn't look like that on my laptop!

Thank you! My ex treated me (us) to a Chinese lunch and just had cake, so I'm feeling very spoilt today.

They are $8 each, so not bad at all. I think I will pass. I've decided to get some of the Tonics, so really don't want to spend on EPs too. Also, while they're nice, they're nothing special.

Hope you get what you want though.

I have this one too, it's gorgeous.

I only ever use my phone camera now, my actual camera hasn't seen daylight in years.
