That is a beautiful mani, love it!Nice haul! That Takko looks interesting. Still haven't got anything from them.
DD SAM's my fave. So vibrant!
As it's November I put the monthly EP on: Enchanted November 2013 (and slapped a bit of KBS Hext Bikini again since it does not look too Christmas-y).
BTW - has anyone seen pics of Aug-Sep-Oct 2014 yet?

Lovely manis. Sorry to hear you hurt yourself. Get well soon.It did sound a bit odd that you did not have it! Thanks!
I'll take them! I think it's good to have some change in EP colours at least. I actually received my shipping confirmation yesterday, so they're on their way!
ATM I'm wearing Dior 987 Smoky Plum (looks brown though) and OPI Don't Speak (the only thing I got from the collection).
And I finally got Melange.
That OPI is really pretty! It's a bit pricey though. Might look around eBay to see if I can find it cheaper.
I've finally managed to dig out the old True Blood and it's pretty much the ssame colour as the new one, but a little less holo.
The new one is on the left.
I'm happy about August and September, but October seems a bit too dark and green, lol.

Thought to post some manis to divert me in the meantime.
The base colour of this Anny reminds me of the YSL from last year (?) the collection with the spice names?
We had such atrocious weather that you can't actually see that this is a dark purple with gold shimmer. I added the gold flakie topper because I'm still on the hunt for one and thought that this would be good, but it's not what I want. The drugstores over here unfortunately don't carry the loreal honi posted.
First np from Urban Outfitters! Called Northern Lights. It's labelled matte but it's actually a sand finish.

Ouch, hope you feel better soon - and that your hospital is right. Haul boxes may need a health warning in future!

I finally sorted out the pics of my final holiday mani - Love Thy Polish Marine Dream:

I like the green cast in your mani, and the glitters look very nice.I'm still going through my older untrieds, so here's a mani with Barry M Silvery Lilac It's a green to greyish purple duochrome with some very fine shimmer.
Also, here's my haul of the week, new Maybelline glitter polishes.
I'm wearing Orly's Mirrorball. Invisible here but it has some scattered holo glitters that make this polish very nice even when the holo is not that apparent.

Thank you Jenny! And yes, you really should pick up Melange!
Thank you Anita!That OPI is really pretty! It's a bit pricey though. Might look around eBay to see if I can find it cheaper. I've finally managed to dig out the old True Blood and it's pretty much the ssame colour as the new one, but a little less holo.
Thank you PQ! And I think I haven't told you yet how sorry I am about Ziggy!
That's such a cool pic! Lovely polish as well!I finally sorted out the pics of my final holiday mani - Love Thy Polish Marine Dream:
Thank you MRV! Is your back better today? Great manis you've done lately! (If that sounded a bit Yoda-esque, sorry about that. I got some heavy painkillers today and they make you a bit fuzzy.)So sorry to hear about your accident. Hope it's nothing worse and you'll get better soon! :support: Yesterday must have been a bad day for us npas as I had bad cramps on my back, but it's better now. That Anny really looks like the YSL. I have it but haven't worn it yet. Pretty manis, I like the ones with glitter the most. Yes, you need it. It's so 'antique' - like a perfect polish for a holiday in Greece. Thanks, PQ! Thanks! I got mine from eBay. It was not much more expensive than one EP from MeiMei for instance. Thanks! You can't see it, but there's actually some red and green flashes in Don't Speak. I don't have TMWTGG but at least it's different from Mariah's Pure. Marine Dream is very pretty! And goes well witht the "desert boats" as we call them. I like the green cast in your mani, and the glitters look very nice. I'm wearing Orly's Mirrorball. Invisible here but it has some scattered holo glitters that make this polish very nice even when the holo is not that apparent.
Woohoo! Congrats! Do you like them? I'm better today. Went to my doctor who confirmed it's likely that some ribs are partially fractured and my obliques and other muscles are badly strained because of the fall. He proscribed the good painkillers - they really work - and I can move around better than yesterday. I even managed to do my nails which was a challenge because sitting is horribly uncomfortable. But I managed!ALG & UIS. YAY!

Ooh I like this a lot! I'd forgotten about the Orly holiday collection, I'd like 3 of them, so should get them soon.
Thanks, I've had a look on eBay for Don't Speak and I think the cheapest is £17 incl. delivery, so that's not too bad.
Glad to hear you're feeling better.
I'm in pain too, joining the injured NPA club, my left leg/bum really hurts. I was born with an uneven hip, so my left leg is shorter, I'd not really had any problems with it before, but maybe now I'm getting older it's going to cause me more trouble.

This is my current mani, Color Club Jingle Jangle over Zoya Suri. I wanted to do a glitter gradient, but the glitter was too dense, so in the end I did it with nail vinyls. Not that great, but will do for now.
I've been hauling again. I suddenly have a massive list of polishes I want to get. These are my drugstore hauls (Boots, Superdrug and new shop called Hema), but I've also got a Nail Polish Direct order coming with some new Zoyas and a China Glaze, plus I bought 4 indie polishes from a seller on eBay (very reasonable £8 or so each) and of course I have the 3 Enchanteds coming too. Anyway, here are the polishes I got today:
The turquoise No7 came in that glitzy box, really pretty.

Thank you Anitacska! I hope your hip is getting better! Don't know if the polishes are worth all that, in truth I've contemplated to throw them out of the window quite often now! Especially as I'm doing little baby steps right now and I'm always so impatient and just want it to be better right now. It's just so inconvenient (and painful) because I can't do nearly everything to take for granted. Taking a shower was quite complicated yesterday! Plus, I had a major reaction to the painkillers yesterday and had to stop taking them, so I was quite grumpy yesterday! Anyways, I love your purple mani and your haul!Ooh I like this a lot!

Thank you PQ! I hope that it doesn't take as long as I imagine...
Indeed!!! MRV, somehow I couldn't quote you - lovely mani! Anyone getting some Cbls from their new collection? The vanishing pigment le? I think they're super pretty, much better than their new multichromes. Today is our first anniversary and I did a quite romantic mani for it - Aengland Briar Rose with my first freehand drawn roses. Turned out quite well although my hands were quite shaky!

Thanks Anneri. I'm considering getting a few when Rainbox Connection gets it. The 3 glitter ones looked a lot like the EP City Lights polishes, so not getting those, but there are a couple of pretty ones in the other collection. Lovely mani, saw this on IG. Happy anniversary to you and your hubby! xxxLove the purple in that mani - and of course your haul is right up my street too!
Thanks! No new mani and/or haul pictures from you this week?
