Finally received all my Glams. I'm quite happy with my mysteries, I love two and like one. Here are all my Glams.

I bought a Tonic Polish in a destash too, Blue Jean Baby. I missed out on this originally and it was never brought back. They keep saying Tonic isn't closed and is just taking a break, but I bet she won't reopen.

Anyone buying from Polish Pickup?
I've had a poke through the site and I think I'll get Nailed It!, Garden Path and maybe Lemming.
I'm going to order from the US site to Stackry as I want to get some of the new Ethereals and I forgot to go to RC when they launched, and they're all sold out, so starting a new box. Hopefully be a few other things to pick up before consolidation.
lisajohnson0904 lisajohnson0904 - if you want to try a variety of indies, one of each brand, you might be interested in polishpickup.com - the launch is on Friday!
I did a little research and found a very good website for nail accessories and tools ... so many choices for gel polishes. I will make a few orders and share my personal experience.
This is the site: www.diamondnailsupplies.com.au/

Anitacska Anitacska , I feel like you previously mentioned you might have Ukrainian ties. If so, how are you and your family? If not, how are you and your family?

I don't, I'm from Hungary, but very kind of you to ask. I'm rather anxious about this whole thing, partly because Hungary borders with Ukraine (and my family live in the Eastern part of the country), and partly because of the threat Putin issued about Russia's nuclear weapons. It can't even bear thinking about what would happen if a nuclear war broke out. Ugh, horrible.

Otherwise we're okay, life is continuously stressful, but that's just how it is. Hope all is well with you. x

Nice delivery! I like your mysteries more than mine though. I got a green, a grey and a pink, I will try to get pics for you next time I have the camera out. I may be adding those to my swap list!
I love that Tonic!

Glad your family are at least not in the country itself, but it must be a worry xxx
It's a very unsettling time.

I've been a bit spendy this last couple of weeks - bought some clothes, got some of the new Wildflowers, three from PPU. I also bought a load of the new Phoenix collection. I'm undecided about FTLOP - really like two but the Pahlish is not my thing at all.
I've got a few things I'm planning to add to Stackry as well, I emailed Great Lakes and she's coming back, assured me any orders from current stock would be honoured and said she's planning a new release, and coming back to HHC and PPU. I like the HHC one, and a few others so I'll be getting those, and if the new GLLs are on time, I'll be getting those too probably, if not I'll get a few of the old ones currently listed. Nailed It have a birthday collection I fancy coming soon too, and it's also Sparkle and Shine and Little Box of Horrors month (and there's Polished Gamers too) - haven't seen any of those yet so might be expensive or not! I'm almost certainly going to get an order from Paint It Pretty as well. With all of that, I skipped this month's Glams, though there are two or three I really want. I figure it's not a limited collection like the Horror Shop so I'll get them next time around.
I have a few manis to share but just haven't had the time to edit the photos, been a busy couple of weeks for me. And this two days a week in the office is really biting now, feel like I'm constantly running to keep up with myself. Early night the night before of course to see 7am with a shot at getting up, 3 hours a day travelling and knackered all weekend :(
 
Love this! People have been raving about this collection and your pics make this one look awesome!
Oh yes, they are really FABULOUS, I'm seriously ADDICTED to this brand, I've got to many to ever wear them all, I'll send you a few if you would like? I'm in the U.S. here are more of my favorites

I would like to see your mysteries, if you have time to take pictures, please. And of course you can add mine to your swaplist.

I feel you on being busy and knackered, I am too, both mentally and physically. Never seem to have time for anything. I've finally managed to put away the polishes I had been using for the last 3 months, they were piling up. Took me over an hour! I just don't have the motivation these days.

I passed on the FTLOP box. I like the polishes, but not enough to bother with starting a new Stackry box. I'm still paying off my Black Friday purchases.

I also passed on the Glams. Bought one Femme Fatale and 3 polishes (Paint it Pretty, Femme Fatale and Girly Bits) from PPU. I'm just not really wowed by anything much these days. PPU was full of reflective glitter polishes and I really don't care for those. I'm also not really following many brands nowadays, so that definitely helps with not buying.

I did just look at the upcoming HHC polishes and there are a few very pretty ones, so we'll see if I get tempted enough to buy them. Definitely getting the Femme Fatale, but I can order that from the FF website through the UK group buy anyway.

It's horrendous. I'm so afraid that bloody madman Putin will start a nuclear war. That would be the end of all of us. I've been reading the news constantly, I can't stop worrying. And I feel so sorry for the Ukrainian people, all those poor children, having to leave their home and everything they own, and their fathers who have to stay behind to fight. :(

That is so sweet of you, but no need! Love the new pics - is that last one Snow Cone? It's been in and out of my basket many a time, love it on you!
