Good news re Tonic!
You've picked both the PPU ones I fancy (PfD and GLL!) so if you do fancy a swap, I'd be interested!

Just wanted to let you know that I didn't order the GLL after all, I decided to get the Femme Fatale instead. Sorry. I did order the Illyrian though and I'm happy to do a decant of that.

I didn't. I only really liked the Different Dimension, but I'm pretty sure I have something similar anyway (one of the Vapid holos maybe?).

I'm sure you have similar items within the same brands even for all of them. Nothing new, but I was just happy that I like all 4 of them.

Yes, probably! I also don't really like Spell Polish. I have a few of them, but they're nothing special and I hate the bottle shape.

It's the first Spell Polish for me. It's my least favorite of the bunch, but still an acceptable color.
I'm realizing I can definitely be more selective in my purchases going forward. I'm planning to stick with my favorite brands and only purchase things that are truly unique. So many polishes are dupeable, but then there are brands like Illyrian whose polishes just glow and are often quite unique.

Here are my last few manis. First is Cupcake Polish Next Taupe Model with Lilypad Lacquer Elegance.

Next is Bear Pawlish Blind Mag with Ethereal Lacquer Winter Veil. There were some blue glitters in the Ethereal that didn't show up in the pictures. It was also more holo.

This is Polished by KPT Living Like Royalty with Hits MTV Collection Purple Shake. Wasn't a fan of the KPT.

And finally, Enchanted Polish Space Ghost with Hare Polish Star Tropics is my current mani.

Phew! :D

Some lovely manis there! Love the Bear, the Crowstoes and the Hits especially. The EP looks a bit less impressive than I would have hoped...

I've stopped buying Spell, after a couple of disappointing orders, but I like my earlier ones. And I actually love the bottle shape!
What do you think of the new Illyrian bottles? I haven't used any, but I like the look and feel of it.

I'm trying to do that too, I still like too many brands but a lot of them don't bring out many polishes I like. I can't afford so many these days, and I'm out of space - plus I can't wear all I have unless I plan to live for another 100 years or so! Still can't completely stop though...

So here are my last two.
First up was Attitude Amethyst Awe:

Terrible pics, sorry! It chipped before I managed to do my usual ones, lucky I'd got any!
I don't think I've ever seen anything less amethysty in my life!

Thank you!

Yes, Space Ghost isn't one of the best EPs. It looked okay in person, but not that great.

I don't mind the new bottles, they fit better in drawers. They're exactly like the Vapids, I don't have a problem with them.

I'm trying to do that too, I still like too many brands but a lot of them don't bring out many polishes I like. I can't afford so many these days, and I'm out of space - plus I can't wear all I have unless I plan to live for another 100 years or so! Still can't completely stop though...

Haha, yes, I'm the same! I'm still buying way too many and not getting through them quick enough to ever finish. I am going to stick to my top 10 brands now unless I find something very very special in Polish Pickup. I'm also trying to stick to not buying more than 20 a month.

So here are my last two.

Speaking of purchases, here's my Femme Fatale July - August group buy haul:

Bit annoyed with Glam Polish though, been waiting for my polishes for a month now. They need to sort out their dangerous goods shipper. (On the upside, she hasn't launched the new collections yet, so I don't have to worry about spending more money.)

Beautiful! I somehow missed the FF Multichrome LEs. If anyone sees them in a destash, please let me know.

I don't mind the new Illyrian bottles, but in my mind, anything in that bottle shape is a Vapid polish so it will take time adjusting.

These are really attractive!
I'm waiting for Glams too, but not as impatiently as you!

^ On that note, have you seen the update in the Glam UK group? I've tagged your hubby in it, since you're not on Facebook, I hope he didn't mind.
