I dont get her at all. she actually annoys me LOL its like she doesnt give a damn about her costumers. i was sad that Harlow Stopped selling them too. i once got 5 at once there.

gorgeous!!! i luv all your picks. i dont have any of those Enchanteds or the PP. Major Envy.

skip for me. but they do look Neon.

SO pretty and summer-ish.

I knew that was going to happen. there was no way they could be prepared for the amount of EP addicts.
Sorry you missed them tho. they say they are going to be putting 30 by 30 during the whole week.
she should just put them at her site instead.
I once got 13 I think from the EP website because it had crashed during the launch and she oversold, but decided to honour all the orders. That's when I got the entire Time To Pretend collection!

Great haul and lovely mani. I'm curious, where do you buy your Enchanteds from?


The purple one is really pretty.


Nice summery mani!


Ha! Not surprised at all. But sorry you didn't managed to get any.

Nice haul. I see I'm a bad influence!

Daisy Does It was on sale so it would have been wrong not to buy it!

Has anyone tried the stuck on blu basecoat by glistening and glow? Im using the OPI one and it sucks. I need something better to prevent stains. I have $8 llarowe dollars, I may use them for that.

Shard-type flakies can be hard to get flat sometimes, but it's still such a gorgeous polish!

This Enchanted stuff- I have no interest in mystery polishes. There's a lot of other polish makers that do great things and they don't think I'll just buy whatever sight unseen because it has their brand on it. And then there's the amount of vitriol leveled at the retailers when a customer doesn't get the polish they wanted- I can absolutely see why a store would not want to carry this brand.

both are very nice!

Nice haul! Big glitter always requires a bit of dabbing and placing but it makes a pretty mani!


Don't worry it's a very safe neighbourhood. That of course doesn't mean that there aren't door-smashing-dumbasses here.
The police hadn't come yet- they were here at 6pm on Saturday, it was cleaned up later that evening... I haven't been out though, I caught some sort of plague *ugh*

ooo pretty!


for some reason Special K nail polish is making me laugh... I think this cold has gone to my brain.
Hope your plague is feeling better today!

Never ever use nail polish remover or Acetone. Just get a nail polish thinner - most drugstores carry them.
I did that once! It worked for the manicure I was doing at the time - it was a gold glitter topper. Next time I went to use it I couldn't find it - until I finally spotted a strange bottle of orange sludge...
Lesson learned, I bought some thinner!

I got my first ever Enchanted from Harlow, after lusting for months and failing to get one (though for a large chunk of that time I had no idea about the existence of restock madness!), so I was really disappointed when she pulled out too. And shortly after Norway Nails made the same announcement - another seller I got lucky with (she's where I got most of my most wanted ones!). I still have no idea which side was withdrawing, but it definitely makes it so much more difficult to get them. At least with Llarowe, I saw why and how it happened! I must be honest, I wish I wasn't so fond of them, as I think her attitude stinks - and this mystery polish nonsense is further proof! The first time I refused - but then when I saw the polish, I ended up paying more than double on eBay as I loved it so much! That's why I've been buying them since - if I did that every time, it would be a very expensive way of buying, so until I hate more than I love it's still cost effective to give in and get them.
The Mishka thing was like Llarowe all over again, the poor owners got serious hate mail from the usual pack of "rabid dogs" - so pointlessly nasty for so little reason. I know it's frustrating, but talk about OTT reactions...
But like any other addict, I'll keep trying though I doubt I'll get lucky - I don't think it helps being in a different time zone to the sellers!

Thanks Anitacska! My Enchanted addiction is fed by herself, her resellers, eBay and Blog Sales - I'm sorry to say, I do feed the scalpers sometimes, though I have my limits unlike some! These two were from NPC but just delivered as I'd had them waiting to forward from my PO box in the US.
You definitely struck it lucky with the EP website, I've only once seen her sell more than a few colours at a time on her restocks, and that time I got nothing! It was the first time I'd tried to buy direct, and I assumed she always restocked a decent variety - how wrong was I, I don't think I've seen more than 6 at a time since then, and it's usually a lot less.

No, not really LOL This is the worst sick I've had in a long while, who drove a bus over me?

Got an update on the door thing:

It was broken between 8:20 and 8:40 am, so in broad daylight.
The police suspect it's likely a former resident- didn't I come to that conclusion, someone with a personal vendetta? Give me a badge and a donut! ...or at least the donut!
the rest of the letter says 'don't let people in that you don't know, mmkay?' good advice.

I feel the same. I've had a cold, cough, blocked ear and sinuses for like 2 weeks now and it's doing my head in. It's the school holidays as well, so don't get a minute to myself. Argh!

I did manage to quickly take a picture of my mani though, it's Crowstoes Half Past Yesterday over OPI Plum & Get It:

I havent bought any from ebay but i have been wanting too.

I too love the polishes and feel guilty for making such an awful/lazy person rich haha ugh people were awful to Llarowe and Harlow, they should PM the EP lady's lazy ASS instead of the Retailers. she is that one that refuses to make more polishes.

i have Oct and Nov 2013. i didnt like them, they are swatch tho. i put them on instagram and nobody wants them. i would give them to you $16 each plus the shipping and gifted payment. Only cause you are from this thread. and I DO Combine Shipping

I was worried I wouldn't get anything, but she did honour all the oversold orders. She also oversold when she last had a biggish restock (November, Holiday, etc.) I got all 6 then again due to the site crash. I bought quite a few from Llarowe back when EP wasn't massively overhyped. I remember just browsing and things were actually in stock. That was about 2 years ago when I first started buying from Llarowe.

I finally found a way to make crowstoes trick pony work. Well kind of. I used the revolution base and it worked, I still find the formula thick but I can use it with a base now.

I'll try to get back on commenting soon (I'm offfffffff! for many days), but meanwhile here's a new mani, although not a very successful one. The TC messed up (melted!) part of the already not so perfect stamping. This gorg polish is CbL Waters of Belize. Unfortunately you can't seen here the beautiful glowy greenish turquoise it is!

I was going to try to paint my nails last night, but the power to the entire west side went out! Mine for nearly 2 hours. You had one job, Hydro!
