This is really pretty! Good thing you didn't sell it!
Sorry I've not been around, I've had too much going on. Haven't bought or received any polish lately. I'll try to post a few manis in a bit.

I hate it when my camera doesn't pick up the colours accurately.

No worries, hope everything is OK.
I've backed off the shopping a bit as I'm broke though I did buy a few more Phoenix's.
I've seen a couple of PPU polishes I want so far. Trying to resist the new GLLs because it would mean starting a new Stackry box. I'm already into storage payments on the current one as LBOH apparently takes even longer than other pre-orders, and it's only just shipped.
I don't like any of the new Glams.
But I did mean to show you this:
It's the Glam Valentine's freebie Blue Dahlia, should have taken its pic with my other mysteries when I posted them, just remembered it now!

Here are my recent manis. I haven't actually worn many polishes, I either keep them on for 3 days instead of 2, or fail to paint my nails once I've taken the polish off as I fall asleep in front of the telly. But anyway, here they are.
First is Polished for Days Eudora. This has a very strong pink shimmer, but my camera couldn't pick it up.
Next is Colors by Llarowe Tank Tops & Flip Flops topped with Dance Legend Circus Circus on the accents (there you go, a "me" mani!).
This is Tonic Polish Lemons & Cream. This was my Easter mani, I was going to do some stamping, but you know... I really should've used it over a blurring base coat as it was quite seethrough. Not very impressed, tbh.
Next is Glam Polish The Magnificent Marvelous Mad Madam Mim. I took these pictures in Chessington, so they're not the best. But nice polish.

That's pretty! Thanks for showing it.
Have you received your Tonics yet? Would love to see them if you have time to take pictures.

More manis. First is Femme Fatale Skills in Magic . It's okay, but not really a colour that suits me well.
Next is Tonic Polish Sylveon over Polished for Days Soft Focus Plum Taupe. I liked it, but it looked more purple (and prettier) in the bottle.
My current mani is Femme Fatale Snowy Twilight (very season approproate, lol).

Yay manis! I love Eudora, not sure it would suit me but it's so pretty. And a signature mani as well, so nice to see! I don't like that yellow Tonic at all, but Madame Mim is really cute. I had naked nails for a day recently too, took polish off then got distracted with work and didn't have time to reapply till next day. I don't like it though! Especially with so many pretties to wear.

My Tonics are sharing a box with some pre-order M&N polishes, so don't have them yet. Will share when I do, it may be some time though.

Very nice, I like the Tonic best, though it's always sad when they're not quite as nice as the bottle. I always thought you didn't wear polishes out of season, maybe I'm thinking of someone else!

No, I do. Since I use a random number generator, I just use whichever polish comes up. Besides, it's a blue polish with a wintery name, but the label has fallen off, so it really is just a blue polish, lol.

Did you buy from Glam? I didn't. There was one I liked (dark blue with glitter), but again couldn't be bothered to order. Femme Fatale is out of action for a few weeks due to surgery, so won't be buying from there this month. Annoyingly also won't be receiving the group buy polishes any time soon, I have 16 on hold. I need to check PPU, I don't even remember if I've liked anything so far.
I've only bought 33 polishes this year so far which is unlike me, I used to buy hundreds every year. I mean it's not bad, I was bound to get to this stage eventually with 6600 polishes!

No, I didn't want any Glams, I still want the red from the Cintra collection but I hope to get it at a later date. That's an annoying wait for your FFs, hope they come soon. I have just two on my wishlist for PPU, the PfD and Nailed It, though I may not have seen everything yet. I saw FTLOP today, like two but won't be buying. I managed so far not to buy GLLs, but I do really want to get them, UK shipping is expensive and I don't want to start a new Stackry, but they are ending at the end of this month, so I'll wait to decide. I checked out my Stackry once LBOH arrived and it was about £120, worse than usual, it's such an annoying bill to add to the polish spending.Did you buy from Glam? I didn't.

Wow on two fronts, only 33 is impressive, but 6600 is way too many, I'm around 3,500 with more to add, and that's way too many too. I've been listing older ones on eBay and have sold a few, mostly Nails Incs, but they aren't shifting quickly. Still, I'm pleased every time one goes, so it feels like I'm partly dealing with them!
I like your random number generator idea! I have rotating categories worn to match an outfit by colour, it's my favourite method so far, I get a get a decent mix of old and new with it.

Well now I've had a closer look at PPU, I still have a two item wishlist but it's switched from PfD to Vanessa Molina - the PfD swatches make it look pretty boring.

I don't want the FTLOP box either. I really like the Garden Path from PPU and thinking about 2 more, Paint It Pretty and Nevermind. I don't want any of the reflective polishes, so the PfD was a no from the start.
Ouch, that's a lot for shipping! I still only have the Different Dimensions in mine, but have 4 more weeks to add to it. Not sure what though.
Yeah, I agree, 6600 is way too much. I can't be bothered to try to sell what I don't want, at least not on eBay, I might try Facebook groups if and when I get around to it.

So here is my current mani, which is Illyrian Elevation:
This is really cute and summery, with loads of shiftiness - there's a prominent vibrant green in this shimmer that shows a lot to the eye but seems to elude the camera. This polish has been really enjoyable to wear, and this is just two coats.

This is one polish? Wow, that's shifty! I actually have this, but haven't worn it yet.

Yes, one polish, it's lovely, I recommend it! My Fedex arrived from Stackry today, paid for slower service but it came two days early.

I usually pay for the slower one myself, we're only talking about a couple of days' difference anyway.
Enjoy your delivery! It's been a while since I had one myself, January, I think.
