Nice dusty blue!Zoya Caitlin flash/no flash
Recent manis: AE Fated Prince. I don't wear a lot of dark polishes but this one was rather nice with the holo. Last week I received three stamping plates and two stamping polishes from Moyou. I tried out the copper polish here but it's not bright at all (< they seem to be jelly-ish/sheer), so you can hardly see it.
Ok, this is EP Good Life. It's actually more golden than bronzy. Very metallic, more of a frost than a regular holo (it's made of super fine holo/metallic glitter I think). And I had to shorthen my nails
PQ, I also received Flashing Lights, and I can verify that it's just glitter, although rather fine glitter.

Pretty stamping, but a bit too subtle probably! Good Life looks really pretty on you, hopefully I'll carry it that well.I've had some bad staining but that tops them all! Too bad, the polish itself looks nice. Love the other two manis! I need to wear those CrowsToes, too.
Nice to hear things are looking better for you. Your little puppy looks so cute!
Nice dusty blue!

Flashing Lights keeps calling me but I DON'T NEED MORE GOLD GLITTER!!! Good to know I can rule it out (obviously unless a bargain bottle falls my way!!!), I've been looking and looking at pics because it's soooo blingy it screams at me! Really pretty, I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

And I have almost all of them, hahaha! I like a couple of the new MJ ones, but not enough to place an order.

I was playing with nail art this weekend, not altogether successfully! I won't be giving up the day job!
My updated mani:
Polishes are The Devil Wears Polish - The Big Bang Theory (purple), Jade - Hypnose (blue), Jade - Deja Vu (pink)
Sadly, an accident with some food colouring destroyed this mani before I had a chance to test drive it properly!

Hello there! I've had a horrible week, so I was kinda awol here. MRV, Thanks for posting the new EPs! I like the copper/gold one a lot. What do you think? Is it worth it? I also like your mani a lot. Anitacska, OMG - that staining!!! Did you email the manufacturer? PearlyQueen, I really like your nailart! Holo on holo can look really good! And oh yeah, Doctor Who was awesome! Highlight of my week, really. Or maybe it was today when hubby brought in today's Mail and I finally got my EP from Pshiiit! Really, I don't know why it took 10 days for a distance I could Cover in three hours by train! I tried to post pics, but specktra doesn't cooperates with me right now.

Nice haul PQ! Would you share how you like the Polish Alcoholic one? And finally, pics!
And some manis! This is a textured ('leather') polish by P2:
A veeeeeery girly mani with some Asian polishes a friend gave me. Didn't like it much with my skintone.
The pink from the MeiMei exclusive Hawaiian Trio with some water decals:
One of the Kaleidoscope spring polishes (white with blue glitter) with wonky stamping. Can you see the little umbrellas?
Phew!

Pretty polish! And your manis are as impeccable as always - I like the leather texture one, which is unlike me! I did buy a Leather finish (Claire's Red - was on sale) and I'm looking forward to trying it now I've seen yours. I have to agree about the pale pink not really flattering you, which is a shame because it's a really pretty mani otherwise. The Glam is gorgeous, it's a brand I really have to explore. And I'd never have spotted those umbrellas if you hadn't pointed them out!
Re Polish Alcoholic, firstly my apologies, it's Furcifer Holo not Bradypodion - I was undecided which one to go for, now the collection is disappearing fast so I won't be able to get them all if I do like this one, though I have a few more to arrive... And my tiny brain misremembered which one it was when I was posting! I will for sure let you know what I think when I wear it. In the bottle it reminds me very much of the Darling Diva Queen collection, very lightly pigmented and greyed out at first look, though the holo helps. On my colour sheet it really is very sheer looking, I suspect a 4-coater or needs undies (again like the Queen collection). We shall see, but it didn't wow me when I opened it.

Nice you hear you finally received the French snail mail! I like the leather texture, and the girly mani's cute. Also the umberellas look really nice.Forgot to post last week's new polishes - and there are a fair few...

You have an impressive weekly score! And very versatile this week. This made me count my yearly figure (for 2014). It's! I have not bought a lot of late, but I received these cuties today:

I need to do more stamping, too. I think I need a new stamper (you just ordered from Moyou!

I adore your Isadora/EP mani, I have to keep telling myself I DON'T NEED MORE GLiTTER!!!!! It looks sooo pretty on your mani, and I love the base colour too. Stunning. And some pretty blue shades from PP too, enjoy!Thanks, PQ. Well, I tried it on a little:
This is a new Isadora, Autumn Leaves (great formula & brush) with EP Flashing Lights. FL is just a regular golden holo glitter. I did not move it yet to "used" drawer but I will do something else with it later on.
That's very playful! I have though of combining holos, but never done it. Hmmm....
Hi, Anneri! Hope you're doing better! If you like very metallic, foily golden polishes, I think it's worth it. At least it's more interesting than FL. I did not feel it was really a holo though, but very flashy nevertheless.
Roz is lovely! And your sneaky photobomber!

I need to do more stamping, too. I think I need a new stamper (you just ordered from Moyou!), a rectangular one. It might be a bit better for my rather curvy nails. It's a bit difficult to spread out a stamp on them sometimes.

Thanks PQ!
What colour is Amazing? I couldn't find that out when I googled it.
Maaaaaaaaybe I'll try for Good Life and Flashing Lights. MRV's mani with it is so pretty!
Speaking of pretty manis, MRV was it an Isadora polish as well (a gel type polish maybe?) that you were impressed with a while back because of it's longevity? (Is that the right word?!) I'm looking for something I can wear during my honeymoon (only twenty days to go now!!!) that is quite durable because of sun, sand and pool water.

I think Amazing is the silver version of Flashing Lights Anneri. It's definitely silver and part of the collection.

Thanks! I can't put my finger on which polish you mean now. I don't remember wearing any polishes for a longer time recently. Can you give any details?
