Nail Polish Discussion - Any Brand

Did anyone order from Tonic? I was only going to get 5 polishes, enough for the $50 freebie threshold, but then she posted those MFA oops polishes and First Kiss and the OG UP thermal, plus the $120 freebie, and next thing I know I've ordered 12 polishes. Ugh.
I was hugely tempted, but since I live in Broke City at the moment, I passed!

I don't think she's ever answered my emails, so thanks for letting me know what they're saying in the group!

Ha, would you believe I got a shipping notice just after I posted this! Depressingly though I seem to have put the wrong locker number on it, I think it must be on one of the Paypal stored addresses I used. I'll need to follow up with Stackry to get it sorted out, no point in emailing Illyrian. It's happened before and they managed to find it, once the tracking says it's gone I'll email them.

I was just coming to tell you that I've got my shipping notice! Oh, sorry about the locker number, hope you can sort it out.

I forgot to post my Glam order (plus an EdM I bought from Kay that she sent with the order to save on postage). Also close up of the BF freebie.

Tracking is still at pre-shipment status:(
I'm desperate to contact Stackry but they'll tell me to get her to change it since it's not gone yet, and there's just no point with her email track record.

Mine is still in pre-shipment too. Apparently they were dropped off on Tuesday, some people's tracking have now updated, some haven't. I don't think she has the packages anymore, unless she was lying about dropping them off on Tuesday.

As a result (and because I really really cannot afford to buy any more polishes now) I haven't ordered from the latest release. I do like 3 or 4, but they should come back at a later date.

Damn, I love it :(

It's quite nice. I'm not that fussed, but if I were to come across it cheap, I might buy it.

Someone posted comparisons with Christmas in July (top and left) and Dragon Egg (bottom and right), I think it's quite similar to them, so I don't feel sad about missing it. Also I ordered Fair Maiden I Have the Powder from PPU last month that I think is similar (probably better).

Also if you're interested, here are December 2018 and Holiday 2018:

December is quite nice, but again, no regrets.

[MENTION=95206]PearlyQueen[/MENTION], I can't remember which prototype you said you got, but I thought I'd copy this info here just in case you are affected. Also, my tracking started moving 2 days ago!

If you ordered Prototype 200 or Prototype 201 during our Black Friday 2018 sale, please read below. It’s on the long side, but there is important information.
We learned yesterday that there was a mixup with the labels on our prototype bottles for 200 (blue flakie with green shift) and 201 (purple flakie). We are very sorry for the error. We understand how disappointing it is to order and expect one thing and receive something different. We truly apologize. We also extend our thanks to the customers and community members who reached out and helped bring the issue to our attention.
Illyrian always works hard to do right by its customers and our response to this event will be no different . Please read on to see which of the following applies to you and what we are offering as a customer service solution for both groups.
If you ordered *both* Prototype 200 and Prototype 201:
Thank you for your support! As you have both of the polishes ordered, we can’t offer a refund. Please simply swap your bottle labels out. If you find that the labels aren’t sticking as well as you’d like once switched, please reach out to me and I will mail you new labels. My email is [email protected] and I will need your full name and mailing address please.
If you ordered either Protoype 200 OR Prototype 201 (but not both):
Thanks so much for your order! Unfortunately, these bottles were true prototypes. We do not have any extra bottles and are unable to recreate them. As we are unable to offer a replacement, we will instead be issuing you a refund for the prototype you ordered. The prototype you did receive in your order is yours to keep; if you’d like the correct bottom bottle label for it, please email me at [email protected] and I’m happy to send it to you. I will need your full name and mailing address please.
For all who were impacted, we have a discount code for you to use on a future illyrianpolish.com order as an apology. I will send out the code to you. We do ask that you please not share the code as it is specifically for those impacted by this issue.
We do understand that not all customers are on FB or monitor groups for news like this. We are currently pulling the list of impacted customers and they will receive outreach through the email they used to order unless we have already connected with them in this post or via messenger or e-mail.
Thank you all for your continued support. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to comment below, PM me, or e-mail me at [email protected]. Again, we apologize for our error. ??????





I actually ordered both, so it doesn't affect me. I wonder if I still get the discount code?

Well thumbs up to Stackry, they found it for me! And I'm afraid I did buy a few more...

December is quite nice, but again, no regrets.

I like the swatches of Unicornucopia (but maybe not quite as much as I thought I would!). I also really like December, but I can't have regrets because it was a mystery and could have been 'orrible! I don't like Holiday much, so I'm glad I resisted that one. If you see December going cheap anywhere and don't want it yourself, please let me know!
