I did, got Dark Fantasy at launch, checked out without trying for more, picked up Good Life at the 10 minute drop, which I've sent to my US address as I didn't want to pay two lots of international postage and there's other stuff already waiting for forwarding there.
Did you have any luck?

Same for me, but first I got Good Life, and then Flashing Lights.
Here's my quick mani from yesterday: Dior Lucky with some hasty stamping.

Beautiful mani, love both the red and the stamping - perfect!I'm not sure of the OPI price here, it's between 15-20 euros, one site says 16.50. Too much anyways. I've seen OPI mini sets cost almost 30 euros, and the Essie mini set is almost 20 euros I think.
Your vacation sounds awesome! I can see palm trees....and beaches!
I've been lemming that Illamasqua... drools... I hope it's a good glitter. I was talking with this Illamasqua male MUA about NPs when I was in London, and he agreed that most of their glitters are not good at all.
Thanks, PQ! I loved this mani!
Is there a NP brand called George? I've never heard of them. Nice colour!
Thanks, PQ!
Oh, you've been busy! LR does look pretty. Most of these I've never paid attention to, but I do have that EdM.
Thanks, Anneri! Lovely mani! Is that one nail a space?
I'm still so clueless about Dr Who. You have it at the cinema there? Since the Anniversary I've found out that they are showing Dr Who here at afternoons on a non-commercial channel (= for children and yougsters I guess). It gets no publicity here.
Lovely to hear from you, Anitacska! Your new puppy seems to be a good distraction for your daugher. I hope you can resolve those healthy issues. I remember I was not even able to sleep sometimes when my dog was ill.

George is Asda's own brand from the supermarket, very cheap and cheerful! I only have a few, they pre-date my obsession with indies, holos, duochromes and imports - from the days when I would look at the five polishes in my shopping basket and think maybe £10 was a bit much to spend all at once on a few bottles of glitter!!! Seems like a while ago now... but I still haven't worn most of them, this is my first of their glitters I've tried and as glitter topcoats go, it seems really nice quality - goes on nice and thick and even (like snow in that Xmas carol!!!), it's survived several days at work and my hot bath this morning, so hard wearing too, without doing that thing some glitter does of losing its colour. Still dreading the removal mind, but I think it's got a few days left in it yet and it's still looking lovely and sparkly. When I saw it in sunlight, I realised that half of the glitter is blue as well, so it takes on a different look as the lighting changes.

Argh, I'm completely frustrated right now: I'm waiting for the EPs to go up for the whole bloody day and wanted to try a new nail design which went wrong THREE times! I just removed my botched attempt for the third time and this together with the waiting for the EPs want me to throw all my polishes out of the window.

Urgh, sounds really annoying! (That's me with all nail art, half a dozen attempts then give up as it looks like it's been crayoned by a blind chimpanzee!!!)Argh, I'm completely frustrated right now: I'm waiting for the EPs to go up for the whole bloody day and wanted to try a new nail design which went wrong THREE times!

Don't throw them out of the window, send them to meeee!!!! (Because as you know I'm really short of polishes!!!)
I saw a lovely review of the new EPs this morning and now I wish I'd got Flashing Lights too, though to be fair it wasn't actually an option!

This could make me start biting my nails, it looks scrummy! I especially like the thumb and index fingers, just gorgeous.I did some nail art today, using mainly Illamasqua nail polishes.

Yeah, those early days.

I truly should try to incorporate that into my daily life, because there IS no end to this!
This was the salvaged mani - I tried for the fishtail on all nails and screwed it up threeeee times! Honestly. You wouldn't think it was that hard! So I settled on the accent nail and even had my hubby come over and look over every step! Colours are Kiko (blue), Chanel Taboo and AE Excalibur. The tips are IB Moonlight.

Heh. Whenever I decide to get rid of them you'll get first dibs!
I hate that there're so few reviews of them. I'd love to see the copper one in Natural lighting because I'm not usually wandering around with my daylight lamp and lightbox to get that effect on my nails!!!

Pretty, worth the effort I think!
And well done you for getting DF, another webstore bites the dust with an EP launch lol!

I'm thinking about making a hat with inbuilt halogens so I can see my holos all the time!!!
I will sell them to nail polish addicts worldwide and be a millionaire soon!

I think you still have the chance to get something. She posted that she'll do more restocks during the week, and given how often the site crashed (and how soon!) I guess there must be stock still because there can't have gotten that many people in during that few seconds.

I won't count on it, I'm too busy to be stalking the site.

Hello Girls!
So many pretty manis and Hauls! i Envy you all!
Im waiting for the ILNP Pre-orders to ship, i got Black Orchid, Champagne blush, Iconic from the Fall collection and Music Box plus Princeton.
I Only have Duo-chromes, Holo Chromes from her, so this is my 1st time trying her Regular Holos.
I have to admit that although i like her polishes the fact that she has no free shipping bugs me. like even if you spent more that $60 you have to pay $10 or more of shipping. or $5 for 2 polishes. really makes me wanna buy other brands that offer free shipping at LLarowe, Harlow, etc
i cant imagine how much International Shipping costs.

I got three ILNPs when they had their sale and shipping wasn't too bad - the price of a np iirc? But I didn't like them very much - I hope you'll love yours! Good to know that Llarowe still offers free shipping! Maybe I'll order something when I'm in the US in October! I got my MeiMei order today. Super impressed with the shipping - it took 6 days! So happy about all the shades.
