*chuckle* ~ I just happened upon this thread this morning. I was so feeling this way this morning...especially after my sunny warm vacation earlier this month :(

:tee: I also wanted to compliment you on your manis...inspiring and very pretty!

I have been so lazy about my nails for the past couple of years...Last month, I completely decluttered my oversize, super under used, nail lacquer collection. It was long overdue...So I am down to just a few shades. Less overwhelming. And I am hoping will get me inspired to take that little bit of "me" time, to dress up my nails, now and again. :)

Paint 'em right now!!!

Not taken with the WtP Glams at all - nothing for me there! The Anti-Valentine collection, I picked out the three strongly coloured ones, though I agree they're probably similar to things I already have. And two of them are pink, which puts me off a little (I don't wear a lot of pink, and I never love them on as much as I like them in the bottle!). However, I do have a voucher! So I will have a go to see if I can get them, and a couple of previous ones I skipped maybe. We'll see! I agree about the limited availability, it pressures a "buy it now" mentality I don't like. And I'm not sure how the UK Glam store is going to go in future - they don't want to be stuck with unwanted stock, but I thought that was the point of sales! Plus they don't often have all the sale offers the main site has. Bit disappointing, but I guess we'll see how it goes. I kind of like the option to add some cheap ones and some I've skipped when new things I want come out.

If you pick up Heart Shaped Box or Single Ladies, please let me know. Those are my favourites, but I'm not buying this month.

Here are my latest manis. First is Color Club We'll Never Be Royals with Tonic Polish Polish Con or Bust! on the accents. I thought about putting some of the China Glaze topper on the Tonic again, but this is more sparkly than Spellbound was.

Next is Femme Fatale Clever Girl. It's a cool thermal, the cold state is really pretty.

This is Polished for Days Prorototype (from the latest Black Friday order) with Different Dimension Ariel on the accents. The PfD is actually more teal irl, but my camera wouldn't pick it up.

My current mani is Models Own Turquoise Sea topped with NailNation 3000 Blue Color Tint Holo TC with Emily de Molly Dappled Lilac on the accents. Annoyingly the NailNation topper had black flecks in it, so I had to redo a couple of nails, but I still ended up with a few small flecks. Ugh.

I bought Heart Shaped Box! I've had a very naughty day - I got FTLOP and one polish from UK PPU as well )and obviously a few other Glams...)
I've been so good lately too!

Oo, a couple of stunners there! I really like the first combo, I have the Tonic but not the Color Club - I remember being tempted, but the brand doesn't work very well on my nails so I skipped it.
That thermal is so pretty in its darker form, love it!
And such a nice PfD prototype too!

And my mani this week is Purple Dream by e.l.f.

Really simple one this time, I thought I'd be bored but it's actually really eye-catching and pretty.

Yay! What else did you get from Glam?

I also ordered the FTLOP box, it's very pretty this month. And 8 polishes from PPU (US). Which one did you get? I got the PfD, Girly Bits, Dreamland, Painted Polish, Night Owl, Grace-full, Illyrian and Ethereal.

I ordered 6 Femme Fatales too. 5 of the Princes and the FTOM (it was based on my picture suggestion and it's very pretty.)

I'm fully planning on skipping the Tonic launch and the Illyrians too, and hoping there won't be many other things I want this month. (I have seen there are new HHC exclusive Illyrians coming out though...)

My Glam order also included Love Bites, Heartbreak Hotel, Radio Ga Ga and The Elder Wand - I don't know if I qualify for the freebie though, because though it came to $62.50, using my voucher would take it under the $60 limit. I went for the LynBDesigns from PPU, I wasn't really taken with many of them, and trying to be good! I had a couple of others in my basket including Ethereal and a red from a brand I haven't had before, but I took them out.
I wasn't taken with the FF release at all, I know I stopped buying from them a while back, but I still look! Well done on cutting 22+ down to 6!
I'm not sure if the Illyrians are going to hook me in this time, the new collection should be available again in the future, so those can wait but if there are others available, I might be tempted to go for them...
I haven't seen the Tonics, but I don't usually buy from them unless there's a sale, so I should be safe there.
Oh I forgot, i added Sparkler to my FTLOP order as well, I've been fancying it since it came out, and shipping didn't add any extra to the bill...

Haha, yes, those are the ones I thought you'd get. I have The Elder Wand, and quite liked the look of the others you got, but not enough to buy. Hopefully I can pick up Single Ladies from a destash sometime. Although I have a feeling it looks similar to other Glam flakies I have. Hope you get the freebie.

Ooh, the LynBDesigns polish looks lovely. Very you again. ;)

I had no trouble cutting down from 22, most of the FF collection is greens and browns and oranges. Phew!

I am finding the Illyrian releases a bit samey. When Vanessa posted about the March release, I actually thought it was the February one.

I think I want 3 of the new Tonics, but they'll be in stock for 2 months, so I'll wait.

Nice choice, I love Sparkler, I've yet to order that, but PfDs stay in stock for ages, so that can wait too. Ooh get me being all sensible! (Says she after ordering 17 polishes in one day, hahaha!)

There are some new Different Dimensions out that I quite like (2 of the thermals in particular), but I am being good and not ordering. I have committed to buying 3 of the Holo Hookup box from someone, so I still need to budget for that.
