Thanks MRV, the Ultra Violet is even more awesome in person, I was quite blown away by the intensity of it, which doesn't show at all in my pic. I'm awaiting EP too, with patience coz it's going to my US box! I checked my emails last week and it says allow up to 4 weeks for shipping, and it's just been 3 weeks today, so I can't get annoyed yet!Thanks, PQ. It's just my luck. Well, at least I wore it for a day.
Thanks, Anneri. I used an old Essie bottle. Maybe it was weakened somehow and/or just could not handle the mixing balls.
Very pretty! Love gold holo.
That's a nice rescue! Reminds me of another little bottle I should show you.
Pretty hauls! That Ultra Violet is really glowy.
You mean if anyone has received anything? I ordered only from EP but I don't think it's even shipped yet.
I got two (the silver-gold and gingerbread holos) and noticed they were quite expensive just the two (almost 30 Euros). That's why I did not get any of the new Crowstoes yesterday.
Thanks! Next time better luck I hope.
Here's the latest mani: CbL Sphynx (really pigmented, a subttle reddish-brown-golden holo) - and some Enchanted Flashing Lights.
Love the colour of your mani, and the stripes are pretty. I didn't get that CbL, but now I'm wishing I had!

Those are all lovely! I always like Zoyas when people post pics, but I only have one and haven't worn it! I think the sheer quantity of them puts me off obsessing about yet another brand, but I hope you get all the ones you want! Such vibrancy...
Nail polish colors I'am crushing over right now ZOYA tiffany
through the looking glass
ZOYA minis so you can try a color and see if you like it plus you wont waste money that way since its just a little cute bottle of a shade.

That's a pretty purple! I must admit, I'm not taken with Sizzlin' Liz - I do have it, and I wasn't impressed in the bottle either. Maybe it will be one of those you love when you see it on in the flesh! Pretty stamping though.Current mani, OPI Plum & Get It with Esmaltes da Kelly Centauro on top. I actually got a compliment on it in a shop.
Previous mani, Colors by Llarowe Sizzling Liz. It's a bit like Voodoo, but blue based. Bit of a funny colour, but not too bad. Then I tried the festive palette and did a bit of stamping.
Onto my hauls. My RC order has finally arrived (she was holding it back because the Different Dimension/Nailsvinyl duo was missing the nail vinyls. (They are giraffe vinyls, not included in the photo).
I love CbL Chaos (3rd one from the left), I never realised it had holo microglitter as well. I thought it would be similar to the EP City Lights polishes. Just ordered the other two as well.
My Essence and Topshop haul. The Topshop polish was in a little ornament case, but I don't need that, so binned it.
I also got some nail art supplies (the nail art pen trio is from Primark).
Oh and I ordered some suspension base from Etsy (from a UK seller) that arrived yesterday, so as soon as I have some time and energy, I will mix up some frankens.
Some cool new things there too, especially the CbLs. I bought one of the dangerous trio to try out, and it's in my PO box right now, maybe I need to get the other 2 as well lol!

Hello ladies!
Nothing to report but I come bringing swatches of the new CBL flakies (which I should love, given that they combine two of my favourite things, but leave me completely unmoved):

I had quite a stressful weekend full of christmas preperations so I couldnt do my nails - will do so later today (hopefully)!

Ha, just got the release email and at £25 each I don't care if they come out ready stamped, she can keep them!

Yes, fairly disappointing for a Dr Who collection. There are a couple which appeal (The Master and Donna, which both look to have a coloured shimmer as well), but I'm far from blown away. I expect those two will make their way here soon though!

I agree, a lot of them seem very samey and not that interesting at all. I like about 3 or 4 of them. Also, did you see all the comments on the blog? I agree with most of them. The shades don't tie up with the characters (like why is Donna blue???), it seems like Llarowe isn't really a fan of the series and just wanted to make more money by naming them after DW characters. The other thing is, Sheila of Pointless Cafe is actually a paid employee of Llarowe, so her reviews count for nothing imo.

I agree with a lot of them too. Why is it Dr., not Doctor? And why is Vincent (one of my fave episodes ever) a basic black? And K-9 burgundy? And River blue? Just because of her name?! It's just puzzling. I like the Master and Donna too, but I guess the ILNP flakies will give those a runf for the money.Ha, just got the release email and at £25 each I don't care if they come out ready stamped, she can keep them!
It's always so perplexing for me when celebrities endorse/create an edition of MU and come up with the most unimaginable colours. A basic orange-red and an off-white for 25 quid?! O RLY?!

Not to mention they are Selfridges' exclusives. They don't ship. And if they did it would be 15 BGP.
