I had a horrible break on my right hand so I dumped Blair Witch and went for Glam Polish She's Basically A Wizard:

Another stuffed with flakies Glam, and very nice (more green than this in real life)

Did any of you ladies follow Polish Con or use the fairy service?

I was going to, but I was put off by the $7.50 shipping fee and also got a bit overwhelmed by all the Tonics releases and Oops and since Lindsey said the Tonics will be available later from them directly, I decided not to order. Also have to admit that I was worried this fairy service would be a big mess, Miranda doesn't seem to be a very organised person. Did you?

Is there a site that shows the mystery polishes for Ever After?

You mean the monthly mysteries? I have seen swatches in the Ever After group.

Nice! I don't think I have this, but I love the name (Stranger Things quote). My daughter and I watched both seasons last year leading up to Halloween. It's a great program.

I decided to try the fairy service to see how it goes and to pay a single shipping fee instead of a bunch of individual fees from various vendors later. I'll report back if I actually get all my polishes. I don't know much about Miranda or most people in the polish scene. And I'm lost when owners post randomly outside of their page and with no bottle label pics b/c I don't know who owns which brand.

Yes, the monthly mysteries. Sorry for the vagueness. Didn't know if someone kept track of them in one neat location.

Hope it works out for you. I only wanted Tonics and one Fair Maiden. If the FM isn't available later, I'll live. The Tonics will be available, so no rush.

That's all I know, I don't really follow Ever After nowadays.

Here are my latest manis. First is Layla Mercury Twilight (2012 untried) with Takko Wooster St. I didn't topcoat the Layla as to not dull the holo effect, but it chipped very quickly and also it just showed every bit of imperfection on my nails. Not a fan.

Next is Starrily Hotel Transylvania with Lollipop Posse This Cool Night Air. I love the Lollipop Posse, it is so gorgeous!

This one is Enchanted Polish Secret Sauce with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black over black. This was the first time I wore a UP topper (I've had the EP one for about 6 years!) and I still don't see what the fuss is about. I actually preferred the Kleancolor.

More manis, this is Native War Paints Larkspur of the Moment. It was okay, but it looked prettier in the bottle.

Next is Alessandro Call Me Hero with Darling Diva There Once Was a Man From Nantucket over black. I'm trying to go through my least used / older brands, but sadly I wasn't a big fan of either of these. The flakies in the DD didn't show up very well on the nails and the multichrome is not that special.

Finally, my current mani, Lilypad Lacquer Rebel at Heart with Arcane Lacquer Twinkiling Tinsel. The Arcane was supposed to be a topper, but it was too opaque, so... meh. The Lilypad is nice enough though.

Lovely! That Lollipop Posse is beautiful. I've really been enjoying their polishes lately. Do you plan to pick up anything from their new witch collection?

As for UP, I like colored polishes that contain the pigment and therefore it just adds to their beauty. I don't understand it as a topper. In my hands, it usually just dulls the underlying color, almost like a milky top coat.

Thank you! I haven't seen the collection and I probably shouldn't look, I'm trying to be sensible.

Yes, I agree, I like it in coloured bases, but alone, it's just meh.

New Enchanteds coming on the 21st. I only like the mauve one on the left, but that's very pretty. (Don't know why she's suddenly so obsessed with yellows and greens though.)

Yes, definitely like the mauve. The green is a striking color; pretty to look at in the bottle, but I don't want it on my nails. Not a fan of the rest.

Did you order? I only ordered the mauve (Fall Semester). They just looked samey and I'm also not a fan of green/yellow/beige.

What do you all think of the Horror Shop Glam release? I know there's not been any swatches due to shipping delay, but based on the bottle shots/videos, I only really like 2 (the ones I circled). The rest just look a bit samey to me and also there are a lot of greens that I'm not a big fan of. Never mind, money saved.
