Here are my latest manis. 2 have instagram's filters. i find that they look more true to color with the filter, so i use them when my camara cannot capture the color well.
A-e Princess Tears
A-e Dragon
Hare Medusa Luminosa
Zoya Zuza

I got My Ciate's Sets yesterday and 2 Hares i got in the last restock. Perfect Storm and Anemone Gardens. both beautiful. i wore AG already and i luved it.
i just did a mani with Ciate Creme Soda 082 which came in one of the sets. i

Happy late birthday!! Pretty nails! :)


Lovely! And thank you for the bottle/swatch pictures!

Wow! Great pictures, I especially like the Haire and Zoya.

I just went and checked which Ciate I have. It is also the Creme Soda, also came from a set! I found it easy to work with. Wore it to a Yoga convention and had many compliments, people wanting to know what brand it was.Managed to forget to take a picture of that one I think, will have to check :p



Good to know about the pepperminty.. mint is my favourite colour for a polish! :(

Anybody tried the taxi cab yellow one? Yellow polish is always iffy so..

I remember someone here posting a stunning mani in Heirloom. How was it to work with?

I know nothing about instagram, but also curious what you want to sell lol.

That colour is wonderful! Very pumpkin.

That is a cute plate! So sad they won't be carrying MoYou! Booo!

Everybody stop fainting!


Very pretty!

This looks like it has little dots in it! I like it. I was so mad they stopped carrying OPI (Aside from the Gels) that I haven't really purchased any of their polishes.


What do you think about the One Time Use Nail Polish Pods sephora is coming out with?

Those pods look so wasteful of packaging materials.

Enjoy you Happy hands polish. i have 3 and they are very pretty. i have never done a scented polish, i bought one once, the revlon minted gelato.but due to my health problems scented products are huge NO. i just have the polish in my mint collection

Never buy Ludurana then, the stench is incredible, it's nasty (like old lady perfume from the '70s), it's really strong and it never wears off until the polish is gone! If I didn't love the colours I would never buy or wear again, but since I don't have your allergy problems, I just put up with it!

OPI Grape Fit and Zoya Cosmo.

Love this shade of purple!


I received the Oopsies from Llarowe today:



I don't think I have any of the polishes they should have been. I'm pleased. They had Oopsies yesterday, too (did not get a thing), but they might have been the same as a few weeks back. I will get another batch later on, hopefully.

EDIT: I had a look at Llarowe's CbL page - can't name the teal yet (I will compare at home to other teals), the middle one is Single Ladies, and the right one must be OABTRAD.

Thanks! Molly looks really glowy! I've also got it.


Thanks, it might be a bit similar, but this one has glitters in many sizes and it's just transparent, not holo(ish). Love Harem though, a very intense blue pink.

Hey, those are Swedish cars!

Oh, ok. That must be it.


Lovely polish. There might be something similar amongst the CbL spring polishes?

. - Hope you'll find a good home for them. - Thanks! - Sephora, that's odd. I don't even want minis.


Nice manis and haul/picks! I love SG, too!


girlhaha.gif



I should never get FUUUUUUUDGE!!!!!! then. It's just an awful fudge smelling polish. CC has also scented ones (an old collection). And Cirques smell lavender (oil), but it's actually quite nice.


Oh, a lovely green! Is is a crelly?


Nice mani!

Hahaha, I'm sorry, I love Finnish and Swedish sweets equally!

I got the same Oops polishes too! My huge LLarowe order has arrived (in 5 envelopes!), took me forever to unpack. I also ordered another Oops mystery bag, hope I get different polishes this time. They managed to mess up the names of the Lilypad polishes and instead of Sherbet I got Sherbet.
blink.gif
What I mean is Sherbet showed as light purple on the website, but it's actually a blue polish, the light purple was called Passion. They said you can return the wrong polish and they'll send you the right one, but I doubt I can do that, since the Royal Mail officially doesn't carry nail polish. So I'm hoping in a refund or a replacement and also keeping this one. It's very pretty, reminds me of EP Water for Unicorns.

Just curious, how will you go about ordering these from the UK? I don't think the shop's website ships here. I'm tempted, but I'm not sure it will be worth it.
I have a US PO Box forwarding service (set up for the last Nail Polish Canada Enchanted restock!). It costs loads to get stuff sent on though, but I've got a few items waiting in it already so I'm already committed to the hefty shipping fee! I'm hoping to get Dream On next week as well, though it's about as likely as the Mishka ones!

Licorice wars! haha I can just hear my Grandpa saying lakrids because he can't pronounce licorice.

Nice oopses! I just got the grape and turquoise jellies and Turquoise Twinkle from the Llarowe preorder/restock.

instagram is fun, how else would the world see a pic of my sprouty potato? http://instagram.com/p/mkpCY9o-xG/
lol.gif


I guess they couldn't reach a deal with moyou...

I can't! LOL

I can't see buying a one time use polish. they look awkward... especially for my left hand.

I haven't tried the scented Revlon polishes, I think the Polishaholic said they weren't too overpowering though. I'm not sure I could wear them, I hate when hand soap smell lingers for more than a few seconds- especially if I'm trying to eat LOL you will never see me in a B&BW buying soap, too scented!
I've seen sproutier potatoes ;)

I can't really see single use polish either. Plus, when you get to the end and are trying to get the last bit of polish out... suddenly.. polish everywhere! Or at least that is what would happen to me.

I will have to try the scented revlon and let you know. If it is decent, I want one of the summer ones. I quite liked the Anna Sui, but it was VERY mild.

It is spring here! (Although it is gearing up for a storm now... grrr..). I want to break out all my spring polishes and take off this dark purple, but I am meeting a friend Saturday and we are going to do nails at her place. So I will wait. Grr...

Mine aren't here yet, but I've just seen pictures of the EP March and April polishes on eBay if anyone's interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ENCHANTED-POLISH-MARCH-2014-Monthly-Collection-nail-lacquer-Holographic-Green-BN-/321376258224?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1120 and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ENCHANTED-POLISH-APRIL-2014-Monthly-Collection-nail-lacquer-Holographic-BN-/321376260709?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1120
I'm a little bit underwhelmed to be honest.

Thanks! I actually like them because I don't have holos in these colours, and they are nice colours.


Yesterday I also received my package from Harlow. Super fast: I ordered last Friday evening, and it was here the following Thursday.
This is KBS Chick Me Out. It was quite nice for a yellow, a bit uneven for some reason but the TC smoothed most things out.

Okay, monster haul post. First up is my huge LLarowe order that arrived yesterday:




The new multichrome scattered holo Dance Legends. 844 and 845 look very similar, but they're not.


845, 844 By the way I'm wearing the neon green Claire's polish my daughter gave me for my birthday. It's more minty green, not yellow irl.


My 3 Oopsies, House of Blues and Wind Beneath My Wings


Lilypads, Sherbet is on the left. Nice, but not what I ordered. By the way, I haven't heard back yet.



And now my Harlow&Co order that arrived today. Funny story actually, my daughter and I were at the vets with her cat, Paws, and the postman was there, he then went out and came back with my package, asking do I want to take it then?
lol.gif
He obviously knows me way too well. Actually I think he hates me for all the packages he has to deliver. But still, this was really nice of him.



I did some stamping on my neon mani, but I did it in white and it doesn't really show up. I didn't want to do black as it would've been too harsh. On the upside, I used Anneri's credit card scraping trick and it worked really well. (Once again, the colour is way off, it's a lot more minty green irl.)

Sephora by OPI will be on Hautelook Monday.

Question: I bought the 4 sided nail buffer from Sephora. How long does one of these generally last?

Yay, Llarowe's replied, I get to keep Sherbet and they'll send me a Passion for free. Just what I was hoping for!
girlhaha.gif
Although you would think if they realised they'd messed up the names, they would send out the right colour, since most people will have ordered the colour they saw, not the name. But that's just my logic...
