I ordered the Barry M magnetic polish from eBay, but they didn't send the magnetic cap with it, ugh. I got the FF from a destash, it's the newest RC exclusive. I don't buy from RC anymore, so I was glad to find this elsewhere.

Still no FF group buy, but it's finally on the way, so I should have it next week.

I've just had a load of alerts from Pshiiit Boutique - EP and Enchanted Studio restock if anyone is interested - nothing I want, but you may want to take a look!

What do you like about the line?

One thing I absolutely love about these nail polishes is the short rounded edge brush, which makes it really easy to apply. The formula is thick, it's definitely not as watery as the Essie, even thicker than OPI. I personally prefer a thicker formula of a nail polish which is why I am completely totally obsessed with this formula. The formula itself is very self-leveling so even if you accidentally get a little too much polish on one side of your nail, it will kind of level out. I can get this formula to last a full five days (using Vinylux top coat) or even more completely chip-free but lasting power of nail polish really depends on your specific body chemistry, as well as the base coat and top coat that you use. If you love nail polish and haven't tried these yet then you definitely should. I hope you find this helpful. :)

Thanks, but meh. I'd only order from Pshiiit if it was something very very special. It costs too much otherwise.

Oh no, how come?

Yes, she was really kind to offer. I was going to order the Different Dimensions if there were any leftovers anyway, but this is much better. I asked for 6, June 2018 and KBShimmer Hard to Empress, purple UP polish with blue flakies.



Thank you! I really liked the magnetic, it was so cool irl as the line moved around. Mad World is one of my favourite ever polishes.



Pretty! I see what you mean about the Illyrian though, I looked on MeiMei's website and it looks very different. This actually reminds me of Arco Iris, the unreleased Polish Pickup shade (that's coming back next Friday as Starburst).

Ha, I'd chosen the wrong shipping method, I waited ages for a shipment, then emailed and waited a few days, didn’t hear, emailed again and they told me what I’d done. Then I had to email again to find out how to fix it!However, they’re here now, and my bags are very nice (and the shipping didn’t cost quite as much as I expected – still expensive, but probably now cheaper than getting them shipped direct). BTW FYI – I did hold a small package (3xEnchanted Studio polishes) in their paid for storage for a couple of days and it cost a whole 24 cents, well worth it in that instance.

Annoyingly the Femme Fatale group buy hasn't arrived yet, they're taking their sweet time with it. So the only polish I received today was Tonic Mulled Wine and Mistletoe that I got from a destash.

Hopefully I'll receive more things next week. Still 2 more weeks left of my Stackry free period.

Love that Tonic!
I’m never in a rush for packages, my husband is like you though, once he’s checked out, he wants it sharp-ish! (Not nail polish though….!)

EP May June spoilers in case anyone's interested. May is pretty, I like it. I'm not sad I missed out on it though. I'm sure I have similar polishes.

The pink is really pretty – I’m sure I’d have bought if I’d seen it in advance. However, do I need another pink holo? No of course not.Will I look for it on the secondary market?No.I’m properly over my FOMO with EP monthlies now, not one of the mysteries I’ve skipped has broken my heart.

The FF looks nice, great you found a way to obtain it without RC-ing!
(Can’t really tell much about the BM, but I’m guessing you’ve got a magnet, so not the end of the world!)
Surprised your FFs are taking so long, hope they’re worth the wait!

Ah that's not too bad then. Glad the bags were worth the wait. How do you like the Enchanted Studio polishes?

There's a package on its way to Stackry that's not moving, so it might not get there in time for next week's deadline, but I think I will empty it out anyway because I now have over 70 polishes in there. Not all for me (well, 5 aren't), but it's still a lot. I need my polishes!

Love that Tonic!

Haha, yes, I'm very impatient!

If I find May at a reasonable price, I may get it, but like you, I'm not that fussed. I think less and less people buy the mysteries now, so it may not even pop up anyway.

It was annoying about the magnet as each of those Barry Ms came with different magnet designs, but I can live without it. I did get a small refund from the seller for not having a magnet, so it's fine.

The FF group buy has now arrived at the girl who organises it, I'll pick them up tomorrow. I'd go today, but I have a busy afternoon - the only one day this week typically.

Here are the Different Dimensions and KBShimmer my polish fairy picked up at Polish Con. I also asked her for DD June 2018 which she didn't get for some reason, but I have ordered it from the website since then. Ah well, better than nothing and these might not even make it to the shop as they were LE for PC, so I'm still happy.

The ESs are nice, but not anything outstanding as you said!

My last couple of manis:

I've never had so many compliments on a nail polish! I ended up giving half the bottle to a colleague who fell in love with it - I know I'll never use a whole bottle, and she was really disappointed it wasn't available. By sheer coincidence this hit my nails just as the heatwave hit, and it feels like summer!
