Nah, not really, but thanks for asking. The new year started like crap. I'm doing the rounds at various doctors and our family doggie has very likely to be put to sleep.
Any recs for special WDs? I got the tall Alex sometime ago and was really happy that hubby assembled it happily and claimed that it was reminiscent of playing with Legos! Lol
I swapped Rosie Lee away because of exactly those reasons. Come to think of it there are very little of their polishes I truly love. What IBs caught your eye? Could you eliminate any dupes perhaps? They also sell mini bottles of some of their polishes! I'm not sure if I want some of the PMS polishes yet. (Hah, just recognized what that acronym means! Not sure if they wanted that when they chose the new name!My mani, Butter London Rosie Lee. Nice glitter, but nothing special. Chipped quickly too.I had a look at the Indigo Bananas Etsy shop last night, and now I have a long list of polishes I want. 11 to be precise. Oh dear. Plus 8 bottles of Polish Me Silly multichromes. I have decided to reward myself at the weekend if I make it through the whole week without buying nail polish. I really want those IB and PMS polishes. Must be strong.
No, not at all! Which CBLs are your faves?Glitter Gal - Red Night Sky I finally painted my nails again! This year just has not been going well at all

I haven't tried any of my CbLs yet- I only have the 5 in the photo that came yesterday and 2 more I received in January. I will recommend Steel Town Girl by WingDust though!

Sorry to hear that. I had a lousy January, too. After a disapponting December. But now I think things might be looking better. Poor dog. We had to suddenly do the same almost 20 years ago. But I still have his photo on my iPhone!My mani, Butter London Rosie Lee. Nice glitter, but nothing special. Chipped quickly too.

Bummer! I'm not sure I have this. I'm not crazy about rosy glitter. I remember not wanting to buy this for a long time but I may have gotten it with some set/ discounted.
Good for you!That's a nice polish, too. I don't have any GGs though.

I'm not really familiar with WD. I think I only have 3 from them. I can also recommend Steel Town Girl, and I liked After the Storm, too. Sleepless Summer Nights is the third one, but I have not worn it yet.
I assembled the second one last night (so happy to put some of my MU in it, but it's already almost full, too). I counted that there were 36 'bigger' parts and then some screws etc. I was just happy that I'm not their regular customer. Although I don't mind assembling, because I'm a handyman!

This is a lovely polish. Another one for my must try soon list!KBS Teal Another Tail. Great formula, and colour!
Here's my last two manis. Excuse the tipwear in the first picture, that was day 2 after aqua aerobics.

I'm getting a bit bored of plain polish and glitter is just such a pain to remove, I'm thinking about trying my hand at stamping. Can anyone recoomend good stamping kits? Are the Konad ones any good? Thanks.

Ohh fudge Anitascka, I live with the toddler boys/teenage girl combination and it's a lot of work at the best of times. I hope your husband is being supportive.

Love the first one! I've only one CT and that chipped rather badly after just one day which made me a bit leery and I didn't get any others though I like their colours.That's a pretty mani! I only have holos from Glitter Gal. Sorry to hear you're not having a good time.
Oh no, sorry about your dog and also that you've not been well.My year's not been especially great. We're having some major trouble with my younger daughter at school as well as at home. She 's 9, she has quite serious attention problems and also very hard to control emotionally. She has a touch of autistic spectrum disorder, so you can't reason with her and her moods have been all over the place. Also, my older daughter is a proper teenager now (she's 12) and she is forever screaming at me and is very rude. I'm emotionally really exhausted.
Also, the past couple of days I was working flat out on fixing up an Elsa (from the new Disney film, Frozen) costume for my younger daughter and then yesterday she had a massive meltdown and now she says she's not wearing it tomorrow (they have dressing up day). To say that I'm stressed is a massive understatement.
Back to polish, I'm planning on getting the following Indigo Bananas: Executive Transvestite, Do You Have a Flag (these two are maybes at the moment), We Are The Music Makers, Hot Ice Creams For Cold Days, You Get Nothing, Joy Forever, 2% Butterscotch Ripple, Maui, Impact, Perpetual Dawn and Rez. And yes, I'm getting the mini polishes, they are actually a very good size at 8 ml. Lol at PMS!
Steel Town Girl is really pretty!
Sorry to hear you've had a tough year so far too, but hope it gets better. For all of us!

You picked some lovely polishes from IB!
I hope you get some me-time during these stressful times. I remember how I was at 12/13 - horror!!!
I can't help with any stamping recs. I bought an Essence set last year and I don't know if it's just rubbish or if my skills suck, but I can't get it to work properly. I started dabbling in nailart myself and only have one rec: try it on old and chipped manis first! But it's a funny coincidence that you mentioned that you were bored with simple cremes - I had the same feeling this morning going through my stash and thought that I have holos in all the colours I want and the glitters start to look a bit samey too - I'm waiting for the next big thing!

I started to play with it later:
With nail foil in silver (totally easy to do)
And here I tried some things with striping tape. I like the black accents best.
And here's a watercolour type mani with China Glaze Fancy Pants and Color Club Beyond. Very easy a came off quite well. My right hand looked better though, but I can't take pics with my left!

I've ordered a Konad starter set and an extra 3 plates. I'm excited now. The starter pack comes with 2 plates and 3 polishes as well. I've heard that the Color Club holos are very good for stamping too, can't wait to jazz up my mani with them! Hope I won't be too rubbish at it, lol.
On another note, have you seen the new Picture Polish LE polishes? They are all so pretty! I've posted the picture of Aurora earlier, here's the other 4:
They do remind me of the Ozotic polishes with multichrome and holo. Not sure if that's actually holo or just glitter though.
EDIT: Apparently these are holo shards!

Love these as well. They are not out yet, are they?Eh, it's hard to be nice and supportive when you get shouted at by children, he gets his fair share as well, but I guess I'm with them more, so it stresses me out more.

Here's Elevation Wuji Mountain and CrowsToes Dragon in Drag. The pic is taken in natural light to show the glitter colour, but it does not show how cheerfully bright they are. I'm sooo tired, I think I will just look at them.

I keep falling behind...
Anyone else buying from the Scofflaw restock tonight? The LE polish Love Letter from Scofflaw will be available as a pre-order for 1 hour.
Naughty is right. The nail polish groups on Facebook are so addicting. I've swapped for 2 polishes so far - Enchanted Hot Chocolate and Once Upon a Cloud. I'm trying to control myself and not go crazy with swaps.

That green! *swoons*Sorry to hear about your girls. I do hope for better times for us all!
Thank you! Yes, Teal Another Tail has a lovely blue green base and pink shimmer.
Talking about shimmers, I saw the Orly Blush Collection irl this week (sometimes we do get something here, too). Half of them are cremes, but the lightest one had a purplish shimmer, and the lilac and peach one a golden shimmer. They are kind of nicely muted.
Love that CT polish.
Lovely manis! That purple one is nice - playing with two finishes. I'm too lazy to do any special effects. But I'd love to try water marbling. Maybe with neons!?
Love these as well. They are not out yet, are they?
