Very good taste, as always - exactly the ones I'm interested in!
There you go!

Well, thank you very much!Very good taste, as always - exactly the ones I'm interested in!
I also wanted to order a few Darling Diva LE polishes, but by the time I got there, the one I wanted most was gone, so decided not to bother with the rest. The new Women of a certain age collection does look great though, but there was no offer on it, so will buy it another time.

I was in the mood for some glitter tcs so I decided tonight was a good time to mix some - I was totally inspired by Chill Out you posted the pic of, Anitacska! I didn't pull the trigger in the IBs because of that which is just as well!
Btw PQ, how long do you plan to be on your nobuy? MRV, don't buy the polish guard or however that's called from Pshiiit! If you have some water based glue that works as well or the peel-off coat if you want to do some watermarbeling or waterspotting!

Love! So pretty!Whaaaaat???How is that possible? Must rectify it asap!
This is really nice.
My current mani is Zoya Charla (for another 5 minutes when I'll take it off and replace with EdM Fashion Victim). I always knew it was very pretty, but I never realised that it was also duochrome, Green with gold shimmer with blue duochrome!
Then last night I wanted to try out my new OPI Mariah Carey 18k White Gold topcoat (that I bought when searching for Don't Speak on eBay - which I still haven't bought...).
The colours are really off (phone camera), but I really like the topcoat.
No other purchases to show you, but I am expecting two packages tomorrow or Thursday.
Oh and guess what, I have finished a whole bottle of nail polish! And it's not topcoat or base coat either! Okay, it's only a black polish that I used under other colours, so probably doesn't really count, but still. It was Nails Inc Black Taxi.

Cute glitters, must be nice to be able to mix up what you fancy!
No buy was meant to be over last week, as I'd cleared my holiday spending, but it turns out that my CC will charge me interest on everything I buy for an extra month so I'm trying not to shop till the next bill is paid which is just before Xmas. However, I failed miserably thanks to Black Friday sales! I mostly bought the stuff I'd have got anyway at full price if things had gone according to plan, and I worked out the savings way compensated for the interest, so my PO box will be full of goodies soon! I'm certain I'd have bought a lot more if finances were normal, but I was quite strict about making sure the discounts were worthwhile.
I think I'm done till Xmas now, unless something I need comes up (or another sale of course!).

I managed to pass on the sales except for the IB order. Llarowe had two 35% off codes, but I didn't really need anything. I do, however, like the look of the new holiday CbL polishes. Also the new Darling Diva Ladies of a certain age polishes: http://idanailsit.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/darling-diva-polish-ladies-of-certain.html

Lol, I do indeed know how it is! I must admit, I'm not taken with the new DD collection at first glance (all a bit too pale looking for my taste), though she has a fair few others I do want! I got about half my list with the 35% discount at Llarowe - I just hope the rest stay in stock till I'm ready to order direct. I'd have got all the ones I'm after from DD direct if she had had a BF sale discount - she definitely did something last year, because I ordered and got at least a free polish, fairly sure there was a discount on top of that, so this year I was most disappointed to find she was just releasing LEs, I didn't even go look at them as I was only shopping for bargains!Very pretty mani!
Thank you.
Well, you know how it is though, one of the F.U.N polishes might make it on my nails by next Christmas, hahaha!
Pretty glitter top coats! Where do you get the base from? Glitter sinks in regular polish, like a clear top coat, doesn't it?
Just love that mani, please post proper pictures of it, like I've said on IG, so gorgeous!
Thank you!

That's a very nice blue. I'm not a big fan of OPI and I doubt I'll buy any of those, but the very last duochrome is really appealing! Not that I need another blue duochrome of course!OPI Hawaii collection for 2015 http://nailtastic.blogspot.dk/2014/11/opi-hawaii.html
And here's my latest mani!

I really want one of the three on the last row, that yellow looks really unique and unlike anything I have in my collection! The duochrome is pretty aswell but I dont need more of those

Wow, that looks really amazing! Nice colours too. I wish I could pull off nail art, but instead I buy complicated polishes!

It does look really different, but yellow is my "just NO" colour, my skintone would never accept it!I really want one of the three on the last row, that yellow looks really unique and unlike anything I have in my collection! The duochrome is pretty aswell but I dont need more of those

That's really nice, well done! I've yet to try watermarbling.
Here's my current mani, Nails Inc St Mark's Square with Esmaltes da Kelly (sp?) Bella on top.

Yes, I think you're right. She did have some discount on shipping, but that's all. Oh well.

Haha I know the feeling, there's a reason as to why I only have like 2 yellow NP's (CG Lighthouse and Orly Glowstick) in my collection. I will probably decide against the yellow as soon as I see swatches

@Lalalish, love your nail design! Was that your first try? I really have to try watermarbling again! @Anitacska, Thank you! Of course I can post some more pics of my mani! Happy that you loved it, it wasnt a big hit on IG! It's Dance Legend Mars and I draw on the leaves with an Essence pen especially for nailart. I loved how different the leaves looked because of the colour changing polish underneath.
In different light:
I used solution base for the glitter polishes I posted earlier so the glitter doesn't sink to the bottom. You can find sellers on Etsy, it's a bit difficult to find sellers that ship overseas, but from time to time you find someone who does.

I adore this mani! IG must be hard to please. Just my kind of thing, wish I had the talent to pull it off. I just bought Mars with my Llarowe discount order, can't wait to see it now!

Thank you PQ!
It's really not that difficult, especially with things like leaves that are easy to draw so everybody recognises them, and the pen which is like a felt pen is a huge help! Couldn't do that with a brush...
I guess there're so many highly talented people on IG that a teeny tiny account like mine gets overlooked. Especially if you don't photoshop your pics and post new polishes every day - which I can't because I don't have the money for that... It gets a bit frustrating from time to time. But it's also a lot of fun with a lot of really nice people too!
I was a bit disappointed by the Llarowe sales tbh. I'd loved to get some things, but I don't check FB all the time during the day and the best discounts were posted when I was fast asleep during the night! I mean she posted the worldwide free shipping around 2am - oooooookay. That makes no sense for people in Europe!
You'll enjoy Mars. I love a lot of DL polishes and will very likely at some point order directly at their site.
