I had a horrible break so I switched things up - Glam Polish I'll See You In The Movies:

Unfortunately, I think there's another break lurking under this polish on my thumb, it's been ages since I had this, but two in one week is not good!

Oh no, sorry to hear about your breaks. I'm probably going to jinx it now, but my nails have been in pretty good shape lately. I've been using Nailtiques 2 for a while, I'm on my third bottle now, and all my nails have stopped peeling and feel a lot stronger. I did break a nail last week, but it was only the tip and it was because of moving a freezer around, so not too surprising.

Did you see the sneak images in the Glam UK group? Rachel posted a poll to ask which ones people would want to buy from the March release (she's taken it down now). There were some really nice ones with flakies, one reminded me a lot of Blair Witch Project which is amazing. I may not be able to pass on those ones.

Thanks! Glad to hear you've found something that works for you, I haven't had such a bad break for ages, so I can't complain too much, but I do hate the look of a horrible short nail with my lovely clawsies!

I did see those, and voted for about 5 or 6 of them - they were gorgeous! I'm seriously hoping I snag all the ones I want, loved the reds, and agree one was very BWP-like, and I voted for it too... I know, I probably have dupes for all of them but I can't help myself!!!

Well, guess what? I found a side break on my right ring finger nail yesterday. Obviously jinxed it. Luckily it's not too bad, just below the free edge and is holding fine for now. But typical...

Yeah, I voted for about 6 too! Will see what the swatches look like first, I have so many Glams now, I'm sure some will look very similar.

Argh, I blame the weather... I did have that second one, now I have two stunted nails.

My current mani is Emily de Molly Forever and Ever with Zoya Opal (2012 untried). Excuse the tipwear in the last picture, there was no sun yesterday, so I snapped a picture today.

Very tiny (destash) haul. The polish on the right is actually the original version and very rare, but the seller didn't seem to know about it, so I got it reasonably cheap. I've ordered the 2.0 version, I'll be interested to see how different they are.

I should be emptying my Stackry box, but my Polish Con order is still in pre-shipment and my PPU order hasn't shipped yet. Not sure whether to wait or not, it could be another week. I bet if I empty it, the package will start moving and my PPU order will ship right away. Ugh.

I love most of these! Especially the Zoya, very pretty.
And your Illyrians are gorgeous, enjoy!
I feel your pain with the waiting for delivery, best to hang on I think. No sign of my PPU polish either from the UK site, I'm guessing it will take a while longer than yours.

So I broke that thumb nail :(
And my replacement mani is a disaster!
It's by a brand I don't know called CH and it's no 33 Magnetic.
I got it in a grab bag ages ago, i have a blue one too from the same bag. I was not impressed when they arrived...
Anyhow, I started to put it on and it was hellish gloopy, like it had been left open for a week. I threw 1/4 bottle of thinners at it, but it made no difference. And once I'd pasted it on I tried to use my Accessorize magnet, which I've also never used, and it did absolutely nothing - don't know if that's the stickiness of the polish, a rubbish magnet, or a cheap and nasty brand of polish...
But I didn't have time to change it, so here it is, warts and all!

I didn't think it looked quite as bad as it does in the picture, I should have made time! The odd thing is, I actually quite like the colour!
It's going on Sunday though.
