Too much to respond to individually. I'll just sum up that everyone's manis and hauls are so drool worthy. I can't get enough of them.

Have you all seen the swatches of some of the new Colors by Llarowe launching tomorrow? They're gorgeous! I didn't get anything from yesterday's restocks to save my pennies for tomorrow. There's way too many retired and new colors I want to pick up. Here's my Dirty Diana mani from a while back that I never posted. Look at that amazing holo!

Colors by Llarowe Dirty Diana

So beautiful! I must use this soon!

I've seen the new CbL polishes and I am very much planning on picking up a good few of them tomorrow. But first go for Beat It and I Need A Holo Day for sure!

I was so excited when my nails grew back, so i ordered stuff from Llarowe (which i listed a while ago) and did several manicures. I continue with Dior Creme Abricot daily, so hangnails are gone.

But now my nails are brittle, and chipping and breaking - not sure why. Normally my nails are too soft, bendy, and peel in layers. I've been taking a Glucosamine - Condroitin supplement for several months. And recently i started taking a Calcium - Magnesium supplement regularly. I don't know if either of these could be contributing. Any suggestions for treatment?

have u tried any nail treatments? I used Nailtiques #2, I am almost out so I only wear it very other mani. My nails are also cracking breaking n brittle now when they were just so nice n strong after using the Nailtiques. I guess I need to buy some more.... But I'd rather buy np! Lol

Well, I wound up hauling nail polish at Ulta today! 'Figured I might as well come in and share the love.

Got the whole Orly Surreal collection and CG's Halloween collection (that one is really the best Halloween collection they've ever done), plus the OPIs I'd wanted from San Francisco and a a few Zoyas. Orly and CG was buy 2, get 1 free, which basically lowered the price down to what I'm used to paying online, which is why I went to town.

Surreal is much nicer in person than in any of the internet photos I've seen. Angel Rain and Purple Poodle are just awesomesauce and truly different and richer than a lot of similar colors out there floating around. Teal Unreal is unexpectedly rich and classy too. I can't wait to fiddle around with Digital Glitter - it's very offbeat and complicated looking.

I hadn't been really planning on scoring a bunch of CG Halloween, but wow, it's a gorgeous collection. I even really like the black texture. The black, silver, white and copper glitter, Boo-gie Down, is a glamorous and grownup glitter, sort of Glitz 'n Bitz ver. 2.0. It's going to look great over fall colors like copper foil or concrete grey or deep red. The black and gold and purple, plum and copper glitters are extra good versions with lots of textural contrast and the red, blue and green glitter is totally bitchin' - it's going to look crazy out dancing in a club with a digital LED light system….I'm gonna wear it over a neon polish and dance all night!

I got the emerald green satin Zoya Giovanna. The blurple Neve looked great in the bottle but was more boring swatched, so I skipped it. That bright gold flakie top coat is beautiful, though. Then I got the pale Dove, which I actually don't already own something similar to. Got a 3 piece nail treatment kit in the bargain.

Of the OPIs I got Peace & Love (of course) Alcatraz Rocks (of course) and In the Cable-Car Pool, which is the perfect wine cream I've been waiting for for a long time - dark but not blackened or brownish and very rich, deep and vibrant - just right for my skin tone. Plus On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which is going to look crazy layered with Sparkling Garbage - got a free top and base coat from getting these four.

I'm REALLY glad all the local Ulta locations are a pain in the butt for me to get to, because this was a ridiculous pile 'o polish for me, the Picky Polish Party Pooper! I'm gonna take off my current mani (Orly Rose Pixel, which is totally glam) and get to testing it all out!!!!! Gonna have lots of polish WORK to do.

It's a spin on the phrase "for the thrill of it." The collection is inspired by textiles and clothing materials. Twill is a type of fabric with a distinct diagonal pattern.
I ordered one of the Sally Fuzzies and really liked the way they had yarn/knitting related names!

Nice picks! You got OHMSS, too! It's lovely as well as Giovanna. I also ordered the black-gold glitter from CG Halloween and half of the Surreal collection this week!

Of course we've had practically no sunlight today but I was nevertheless slightly disappointed. In my Imagination it's much more awesome than in reality lol!
I think you have to layer SP to get the full potential, also it needs a strong light -> awesome!

Any suggestions for layering, MRV? I layered it over a Sinful Color minty colour. It's quite nice in the sun though! In other news, we bought our wedding rings today!!! 6 weeks to go...

So exciting! Where did the time go? That 6 weeks will be here before you know it. Did you pick a polish to go with your outfit? And sorry about the job. I'm going through the same thing when it seems like you're a perfect fit, but you don't get it. I see it as something better is coming along.

Awesome haul! I need some True Blood, too!


Sorry to hear about your interview. Hope you will get other opportunities soon.


Nice green!


Lovely selection! I have mostly teal EdMs

This will be on my list!! I try to get some of the to-be-d/c ones first.


BTW - is the pre-order going to be fighting for the polishes as usual (they just sent them later) or can we just relax and take our time pushing the buttons?

I don't remember how the preorder went when I ordered last time. I just treat it like a normal restock and grab everything I want as quickly as I can to be on the safe side.

That sounds like a great haul! There are times when I have to force myself not to go to Ulta because of all their great sales and reward points. Don't forget to combine their B2G1 sale with their $3.50 off coupon for even more savings.
