I had a really bad nail day yesterday!
A drawer stuffed with polishes fell out of the chest and onto the floor, decanting its contents.
One dead - RIP to Color Club First Looks, never worn. Smashed to pieces all over the floor.
One disabled - Famous Nail Addict in Symbol, never worn. Top sheered off, managed to decant about half into another bottle.
Dozens injured - about 50 bottles of polish liberally coated with the "blood" of the two above. And my clothes once I'd finished cleaning up. And my hands. And some towels. And a table mat. And the drawer itself. And the top of the chest... (not mine, the chest of drawers!).
So I spent about 4 hours trying to clean up the mess, goodbye Saturday evening!
Famous seem to have gone bust, so I won't be able to replace that one, so thank goodness I managed to salvage a little of it, because it's really pretty (turquoise with green glitters). I'm not sure if I want another bottle of First Looks, when this one arrived it was a bit of a disappointment as I was expecting something a little more duochrome-y and a lot less dark. And Color Club are one of the few brands I've been disappointed with the quality on (the only one I've worn was one of the holos and it chipped in hours). Looked nice in its puddle on the floor mind you, though by the time I'd wiped it off all those bottles I was sick of looking at it.
So that was fun...

Oh how horrible!!
What a mess! I can't even imagine, so sad. I had a friend who had a cupboard full of canning fall off the wall, she was heartbroken too.Very glad only 2 were broken (Although sad those two were broken!). Makes me re-think my cardboard box storage of nail polishes!

Ladies, I'm coming on here to let you know that I won't be around for a while. We are having the worst time with my daughter, she has been acting very irrationally and is having a very serious mental health episode, she is hardly eating or drinking and is extremely angry. We have tried taking her to hospital, but she's refusing any medical help offered to her. I'm extremely stressed out, hardly eating, can't sleep and it's breaking my heart that we can't help her. She is now hating me for trying to get help and won't do anything for me. I'm really scared.

Great hauls! Ooh, you got one of those EP Mishka polishes! Speaking of which - I got my EPs today! June 2014 looks a bit similar to KW.
Super cute, MM!
That's a great pick. I got this one. too.
Thanks!

I really had some bad mani karma lately. Nothing I wanted to do came out right, or I didn't like it. I also recognized that I don't own any pink polishes. I mean deep pink, I've got some light pink ones that veer into the nude territory or glitters like TWAFT. Any recs?

Sorry about your bad NP luck.I finally got my ILNPs last week!
But, like Anitacska, I was quite disappointed in their 'holo-ness' at first sight. I wore Bottle Service over the weekend and was VERY disappointed. Because of the metallic pigments you could see the brushstrokes, and the heavy pigment overwhelmed the holo effect. Didn't like it one bit. It was really sad.First polish I own that I dislike.
I tried daisies last week and it came out all wrong. I don't know, I'm such having not much luck in manis lately...
W00t! That looks absolutely awesome! Really well done stamping!
Woohoo! Did you like it? The end is awesome. Even hubby likes it!
Love love love. So summery!

It was funny! That's why I started to watch it.
What kind of pink are you looking for? Can you specify?

I succumbed to eBay for my Mishka, don't ask the price! Worth it though, I love it and I reckon it's the holo-est EP I own. I may have to get the other two as well....
