That's a pretty combo, nice design too. I've never heard of El Corazon before.

I have a few things to show you. My forwarded package from the US has finally arrived (thanks Pearly Queen for referring me), it's the stuff I ordered over a month ago from Nail Nation 3000 and Llarowe. Everything is nice, but to be honest, it's just confirmed how I've been feeling about buying new polishes over the last few weeks, I have far too many and I'm not really excited about them anymore. Oh dear. Maybe it will pass though. 
Anyway, here are the pictures:
The two mini bottles were freebies. I really like the Dance Legend polishes actually, just a bit annoyed that neither is labelled. Weird.
I also have a few mani pictures.
Black Cat Lacquer True Love's Kiss - This was nice, but chipped and peeled off within hours because I used the peel off base coat from Nail Pattern Boldness which is CRAP! But as I had those horrible scabs, I didn't want to have to soak my nails with remover.
Dance Legend Different View - Love this, so pretty, duochrome, holo and scattered holo glitter, gorgeous.
My current one, Polish Addict Imagine Dragons.

That's a nice haul - so sorry you've lost the love though. I went through a phase of disappointment with everything I ordered too, but I think it was the polishes, because newer orders brought back the love.I have a few things to show you.

I adore all three of your manis though, beautiful colours. The DL is on my shopping list for soon, you've just confirmed that order for me!
But I love the red and the green ones too, could be tempted by both!

I think the trouble is I have so many polishes now (2100) that I pretty much have every colour/finish, so it's hard to find something I don't have similar of. Also I've realised that there are more important things in life than polish, this summer's events have taught me that. I'm actually very pleased with myself for not buying any polishes for 5 weeks now, it's not like I have a shortage anyway, hahaha! I'm sure I'll be tempted in the future, but I will definitely not buy loads like I used to. I went through exactly the same thing with lipglosses, I used to buy them by the dozen and I haven't bought one single gloss this year. I've also majorly slowed down my lipstick buying (I think I've bought 15 this year, yes, that's slowing down, I own over 400) and generally make up buying. Not a bad thing really.

Have a look at that Sephora polish here: http://www.thebeautylookbook.com/2014/08/7-shades-of-grey-nail-lacquer.htmlCan anyone suggest a polish that is similar to this?
I've been waiting for NPC to restock it for weeks now. Nothing too expensive please.
Thank you for your help.
I think it comes close?

Yeah, glosses are a lost cause. I try not to buy them, and I have not opened any new ones in 2.5 years I think!
Recent manis: PP totes with OPI Lights of the Emerald City (which I have worn before)
YSL Safran Sultan. So ugly! *heart* & Matches my bag!

My latest mani is The Devil Wears Polish - The Big Bang Theory:
It's a nice polish, usually looks like the first pic but in sunlight/halogens the holo comes alive and there's definite colour shift when you change light sources, plus occasional duochrome glimpses which I couldn't catch on the camera. Nice and subtle.

Those look good on you (so not me though!!!). I love the effect on your accent nail in the middle one.
Thanks, PQ!
Sorry to hear about your NP mojo. Hopefully you will enjoy the ones you've got once again even though you would not feel up to buying more. Love the mani polishes and the green CbL!

Thanks! It's a double stamp, first an AE holo, then a yellow. They even aligned!
I'm wearing DL Roz and just got one of the new EPs, Good life. I guess the other one comes in another package?!

Roz is gorgeous - and it's right at the top of my to wear list now! Love it.Lovely purple!
Oh, you always have EPs I've never even heard of. (I'm not that HC.)

Good life looks better than I thought in your pic, now I'm looking forward to seeing it (though since it's in my US PO Box, it will be ages till I do!).
Hope your other one turns up, I'm surprised she didn't put them together to save postage for herself.
By the way, Meimei will be having an EP restock in a couple of weeks, she's getting Up In Smoke and All Love Garden back in, plus "new holos" which I'm guessing will be these ones, not sure if any others will be making an appearance. I hope not, I hate unannounced restocks! Hopefully I'll have seen some swatches of Flashing Lights by then so I can decide about it, but I still have a slight lust for UIS! I imagine anything else will be stuff I either have or don't want (my CC says this would be for the best...).

I love that OPI tc! Looks good over everything. I've come to admire your stamping skills - how on earth did you do that? Mine are nearly always wonky...
Love that kind of purple! Plus, it really suits you.My latest mani is The Devil Wears Polish - The Big Bang Theory:
Bruised Nutcracker looks awesome. Like MRV I've never heard of it before! Before I came to know Pshiiit, I really liked that polish, but now I'm so fed up with her that I won't buy it lol! I want my polish dammit, but Shipping from her takes ages!Newest polishes! At last I have my last EP monthlies:
Uhoh! Could you maybe post a mani with that EP soon? Pretty please? I've to decide if I want to stalk MeiMei! I've a bit of a rubbish week. My gran was admitted to the hospital last week and she's not really doing well. I've also had a cold for about three weeks now and it won't get better, argh! To cheer me up I wanted to bake some muffins this afternoon and they taste like total crap. There must've been something wrong with the recipe because normally I'm a really good baker!Lovely purple!

Thanks! I'm still wearing Roz and it seems to be very nice in dim lightning. Yes, very strange, this was the first time I received only one even though I got more than one. Thanks for letting us know about Meimei. I'll try to stalk.
Yes, it's a nice TC. I was looking at some glitter swatches and it came to my mind. I think my stamping usually is somehow off, too. This creation was pure luck. I've ordered more plates but I don't know if they have arrived yet as I've been away since yesterday. I'll try to wear it next week! Hope you both are feeling better!

Hello again! It's been a while since I last posted, I'd been very busy with children, puppy and housework. My children are now back in school which was of course rather stressful, but it all went well. My daughter is now much much better and today we managed to battle the last remaining issue, her hair. Over the weeks of her difficult behaviour she refused to let me brush her hair and as she has long wavy hair, it turned into a massive mat on the back of her head. I tried for days to get it out and today we ended up at the hairdressers and finally got rid of the big mess on her head. Luckily most of her hair could be saved, but it's very frizzy and quite a bit had to be cut off. But luckily it's all over now.
Anyway, I have a few manis to show you. I still haven't bought any new nail polish and I have no outstanding orders, so no haul pictures.
First up the worst nail polish I have ever come across. This was a freebie from Nail Nation 3000 called Sunshine & Whiskey. Looks like a nice sunny yellow in the bottle, so I thought I'd do a last summery mani before autumn. On my nails it turned sort of mustard yellow which just looks awful on me. Also around my cuticles it turned orange, completely stained the skin around my nails. I tried salvaging it with Lynnderella Punkkin Pie (by the way, still don't get the big hype about Lynnderella polishes), and it turned into more of an autumn mani, but was pretty nice.
And then I removed it. Underneath my nails were stained BRIGHT ORANGE!
Never seen anything like this. Not just a bit stained, they look like I'm still wearing polish. I've been meaning to e-mail her about it, but haven't got around to it. If anyone else has the polish, don't use it! This is over base coat as well.
Now onto something nicer, CrowsToes Muspelheim. It's really pretty, but I did struggle with the application. The brush is rather big and the consistency is thick. It also chipped quite quickly on me. But it is gorgeous.
And this is Liquid Sky Lacquer It's My Party. Silver holo with colourful glitter. Not enough glitter for my liking, but it's really pretty.
There you go. Will reply to individual posts in a bit as well, but Doctor Who is on tonight, so we're going to have dinner now and then watch it.

OMG that staining is intense! I still haven't got my order yet but if that's there it will be BINNED! The CrowsToes is stunning, and so is the LSL - don't have either, but...Hello again!
