Quick mani and haul post, took these with my phone at dusk, so not great quality:





This is Nails Inc Wyndham Place with Barry M limited edition polish from last year (I think) on the accents.

And yesterday I bought this in TKMaxx.





Still waiting for my Rainbow Collection order that was posted 3 days ago, no post came today, getting grumpy now.
Nice mani! That's a very cute kit!

MRV and Anitacska and PQ, love your manis! Great colours all around! I got my flakies from the Black Friday sale and made two polishes with them yesterday. They're totally amazing, but very light (don't sneeze while handling them!!!) and are quite expensive. I'll get some of the ILNP one in the future I guess - because they're quite a good value if they're really opaque in three coats! It's horribly dark and rainy here today, but you'll get the idea:

Pretty mani for the season! Love the Ciate thing, almost like a weekly calendar.

Thanks, Anneri! Great job! The flakies look really nice. Have you tried over black too? Uh, you should see the pigments I got for frankens! They fly all over almost by themselves!


Ok, time for the Christmas Party mani! EP Flashing Lights over KBS Eclipse. (I'm holding the tissue because it was difficult to see the tips otherwise.)



FL just made my phone crazy but you can see the holo a bit here.

Love your mani! Also that KBShimmer is really pretty!


This is gorgeous! Love the stamping!


Mine too! AND I have seen pictures of November and December and they're both GORGEOUS!

I have and they're ugly.


I was refreshing from the start and even this way I missed out on Dream On and La La Land, but at least scored the other two. Maybe next time.


Pretty!


Thanks, I saw this on FB, had a look, but since I tend to buy what I want as soon as they're available, there's nothing I want.
OK just caved and looked at the EP link, OMG I adore them, can't wait (but I'll have to because my PO box won't be emptied till mid Jan!!!).
I looked at the Llarowe sale too, and there were a few I really fancied - but actually, I'd have been better off adding them to my Black Friday order with the 35% discount. Plus there's shipping to account for - quite pricey to UK, and OK it's free to my PO box but then I have to pay their share of the onward postage, so all in all I skipped it - if they're still around when I'm ordering something else, maybe I'll get a few.

I like that mani - I don't think I have either of those polishes!
Love the packaging on the Ciate, so cute.

Those look really cute! I'm severely tempted by loads of the flakies that have been around recently, but still trying to cut back, so maybe I'll get some of the ILNP ones at a later date when I've seen loads of swatches of them. I think they're the ones that appeal most, though yours look sweet too.

I don't think they ship. No one from UK ships nowadays I think. In this case it's not a problem.


Thanks, Anitacska! Hope you'll get the ILNPs soon.


Hi, Fuzzy! Hope you're doing better. See you got Choo Choo, too. I have not worn it yet, your mani looks lovely. I did not get Strega, it's a pretty red.

Our drivers would not do that!

Is it ok to put thinner in TC, too? I've been wondering that. Esp. the gel TCs get so thick.


Pretty! Love the glitters.

They are out of my reach atm unfortunately.


Pretty manis! So you put spots first, then polish, and then repeat?

I'm not sure about Marsala yet. Makeup and nails ok, but it could be too reddish (and not orange/yellow enough) for clothes for me.


Thanks, PQ! It's quite dark (esp. when there's no natural light) but there's some red, too.


Yes, it looks lovely. Love this kind of colours.


Uh, I had a look but it was so sloooow and I felt like Anitacska so I passed on it. And I just had ordered two new Picture Polishes the night before.

Hm, I've been wondering about thinners and topcoat too, my Brilliant Due is really sticky now, and it's soooo expensive to buy I hate to waste it, but I use it with every single holo mani I do.

That is seriously pretty, love how sparkly and holo it looks, and the black tips are a nice touch.

I've thinned one topcoat type before to no ill effects, but it may depend on the brand how well it will work or not. If it comes down to throwing it out or trying to thin it, it might be worth a shot

Again super bad lightning, but all the polishes I made during the last days:

I always find it soooooo relaxing to mix and play - like a child with crayons and playdo!

Thanks. The Barry M was the Boots special edition one with the pink cap in case you're interested.

You have been very creative. I still haven't got around to mixing, been so busy. But next weekend my husband is taking the children and puppy to his parents for 3 days, so as well as cleaning, sorting things out for Christmas, I will hopefully have some time to create some mixes.

My ILNP flakes arrived today. It's super late here so no pics until tomorrow, but initial impressions in the bottle and from nail swatches is that they are every bit as stunning as the pics we've seen so far suggest. Love love love!

Ooh lucky you! I'm still waiting for mine. Hope the Royal Mail is kind to me and brings me my order today.

Right, photo spam as I can't choose. Swatches are 2 coats alone, 1 coat over black, both in the same order (as are the bottles)
