My new polishes over the last couple of weeks:
Picture Polish Altered State, Enchanted Polish March, Enchanted Polish April, The Devil Wears Polish A Nice Chianti, Liquid Sky Lacquer Mystical Peacock, Pretty Jelly Hera
Picture Polish Gravity, The Devil Wears Polish Lady Marmalade, Polish Me Silly Mesmerizing, Picture Polish Illusionist, Nail'd It Eeky Ink, Jindie Nails Purple Universary
Not overly impressed with the EPs this time - the green looks like a great holo, but it's not a colour I'd jump for, and the Grey/Blue one is a bit... dull. The holo's not as good as her normal ones and the colour's a bit wishy-washy and pale for my taste. I'll obviously try them though!
And I jumped straight to Purple Universary when I discovered a tiny chip in my EP mani after 2 full weeks:
With Flash
Daylight
Messy to deal with this one again, I'm really looking forward to wearing something easier next time! I've already had to replace 2 of the "sequins", I'm hoping I'm not going to be spending the whole week doing that! It's a little see-through still, with 3 coats, I'll probably try this with undies next time.

Anneri, so sorry about your cat.
They really are very special and it is a big shock when they pass away. Big hugs!
Your manis are lovely by the way, really really love the AA one, it's so pretty!
PearlyQueen, loving your haul. Embarrassed to admit that I own most of your new polishes.
Polishes with chunky glitter are hard to work with, I think the key is to wait a while between coats and also use a thick top coat so the glitter doesn't fall off.
I haven't bought anything since Thursday, but I have a new mani to show you a bit later. I kept the Toxic Avenger one for 4 days to get my money's worth, but by day 4 it was looking rubbish.

I am getting the impression we could happily share a nail polish collection - I think we have very similar taste! And you're not far away either, we could probably have got twice as much for our money!Anneri, so sorry about your cat.They really are very special and it is a big shock when they pass away.

It looks like that, doesn't it?
Here's my mani, Indigo Bananas Hot Ice Cream for Cold Days. Really pretty, very strong holo plus some multicolour glitter. Sadly it has already chipped a bit just after 12 hours. Poo.

That's really pretty. I've been planning to buy that one soon too, it's sitting in my Meimei basket! Sorry to hear about such quick chipping though, I've only worn one of my IB polishes - Dionysius - and it lasted fine.It looks like that, doesn't it?

Latest manis: Hare Read My Biorythm
And Dior Sunnies. It looks really red here, but it's actually orange / coral-orange. Finally I managed to do a perfect stamping, and the TC smudged it again! I don't know if the problem is the stamping polish (Konad) or the TC (Essie Good to Go)

I must admit that the thought of removal is giving me nightmares! Oceanic Forces was hard enough, this one has so many more circles, I'll be scraping them off for hours!I love, love love your mani---I'm too chicken to go full on glitter---it's so hard to remove. I'm glad I get to look at your's!
Amazing haul!!

Lol, I'm undecided on it if I'm honest. I'll give it a fair go as a top coat rather than trying to get full coverage out of it though. Too many glitters were pouring on for my taste, and I feel it's come out looking messy. And every time I tried to cover a little spot that was short of polish, another ton of circles would make their way onto my nails! I've had it on for a couple of days now, and I still can't make up my mind if I like it or not. It works better in some lights than others - and of course I'm not used to wearing such big glitters, so unfamiliarity might be playing a role, though I unconditionally loved Oceanic Forces once I'd got it on.You have such lovely hauls! I actually have PU, too, but it's the only polish/mani I have not posted. I thought it looked so terrible.
