20% of value for VAT plus a Royal Mail handling charge (I think I once paid £8 for that and once £11, so I'm not sure which would apply). I honestly don't mind the 20%, it's the handling charge that's sooo annoying - and once I had to pay it when the VAT was under £1 so they're tight! That was when the exchange rates changed between ordering and delivery, and took my "undervalued" order from RubyWhiteTips just over the edge, grrrr!PQ, what is the import tax for the UK?
That Hare adds so much depth to your polish, lovely.Thank you! Oh, I have not noticed that.
I think I need the one on the right! Nice glitters it has.
Oh, ok, thanks! I have also Green Pearl which I liked and it made me get the teal one, too. Thanks, it 's a nice twist.
It looks really beautiful, intense!
That topper is like some party!
Ooops.
Don't tell such things, PQ!
I'm also trying to wear 3 manis and as many polishes as possible per week. I don't have as much as Anitacska so it makes a little dent into my stash.
Pretties! Looking forward to my Vampire. I did not get mine yet.
Wait, Hare has exclusives...?I have not heard of that. Do other stockist have them too? I would really like to get it as I'm kind of like collecting them(can such a thing even be said here?). I'm only missing one. I've been skipping the LLarowe monthly boxes as that's not right. I'm not paying for the extra.
Not to mention they seem quite costly to begin with.

I hate the fee. I too wouldn't mind paying the VAT, but the fee is just ridiculous. Luckily it's been a while since I was last charged.20% of value for VAT plus a Royal Mail handling charge (I think I once paid £8 for that and once £11, so I'm not sure which would apply).

Good luck with those! There was only ever one box (I think it was the first all holo one) that I liked more than one polish in. Unfortunately, I tend to absolutely adore one polish from every box, so I do get frustrated when I see them! The CbL ones are always sooo pretty, but I wouldn't buy a box just for one polish.I bit the bullet and signed up to the monthly A Box Indied subscription as the October box was gone already by the time I was let onto the website. I've heard somewhere that you can only opt out 3 times within 12 months, so fingers crossed there'll be some good boxes coming up! I know, of course, that I can always just cancel my subscription, but there have been a couple I really wanted for a polish or two, so will hold out for now.
Pretty! But since when jealousy makes you red!?
Lol at autumnal ugliness.The VAT is 24% here, but I don't have to pay any other fees (if the value is less than 150€ and) if I pay the tax myself online. Normally I don't have to pay the VAT either (NPs are not "valuated"), just for some random clothes and other stuff. But If I use a courrier, there's no escape from the VAT (when over 22€).
Thanks! The Hare is not layered, just Hare on those nails.
I checked and other shops don't even have any exclusives. Thank you, I would appreciate that! You can include it to your next RC order, no hurry. I'm confident that the foil method works. It's just one after all.
Thank you!
Nice! That DDD looks quite intense (again).

Time for autumnal uggliness: YSL Ambre Gingembre(it's not reddish but brown orange = lighter than here) and some Damn Fine Coffee by Hare (it has orangy glitters)

I've been meaning to try them for a while, but I've had a word with myself and I don't need any more brands on my wishlist! I always love them on other people mind you, maybe they're a bit too classy for me!Oh wow, ladies, have you seen the new Cadillacquer polishes? So gorgeous! Seriously considering ordering a few from Beauty So Fly right now! Argh!
Pretty glitters, well done and they won't break the bank. How did you train those cats??? Mine just do photobombing! So cute though!Thanks. I know, I missed out on the gorgeous CbLs because I didn't want the boxes.I'm quite hopeful, just seen a preview of the Glisten & Glow polish for the November box and it's very pretty. I guess I can always cancel anyway.
Lol at autumnal ugliness.Yeah, definitely not my colours, but nice mani nonetheless.
No worries, I'll order the Hare for you, I want to get a few nail decals anyway. I get 10% off now I've spent a small (big?) fortune in her shop, so that's good. I'll let you know when I have it.
I went a bit mad today, popped into Boots and Superdrug and they had the new Barry M glitter polishes (plus there's 2 new additions to the Aquarium collection, a purple duochrome and a gorgeous glitter), so I bought 6 polishes. There's still one I haven't got (the black glitter one) and also in Boots they had two empty spaces for some other glitter polishes. I vaguely recall BBB writing about them a while back. I think those might be some Christmas shades. Anyway, these are so gorgeous! Love them!

A few bonus kitty pictures
I've also ordered 10 (!) Cadillacquers. Oops.
Finally, my mani, Femme Fatale Chrysoprase. Not much sun today, so took some pictures indoors instead.
This is an interesting colour, a greyish bluey green with some gold sheen. Very pretty and unusual.
Oh and here's the link to the BBB post about the Christmas glitter Barry M's: http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2014/08/barry-m-sparkle-nail-pots.html
Well, it helped that they were sleeping!Pretty glitters, well done and they won't break the bank. How did you train those cats??? Mine just do photobombing! So cute though!
And I like that colour on you, very different.
10 Caddillacquers eh, you're worse than I am! Hope you love 'em!
