Happy New Year, Anitacska!

Hope you're having a nice eve. I was just watching a movie, too.
Yes, I am, thank you. We watched Maleficent first (great movie), now watching The Nut Job to keep 8-year-old son happy. They all want to stay up until midnight. My husband on the other hand is nodding off in front of the telly.

Happy New Year to all my fellow nail polish lovers in every time zone!
I have an hour and a quarter to go, but I don't do new year really so I'm watching snooker and drinking Kopperberg in my woolly dressing gown with the cats!
Just read that back, the cats are not drinking Kopperberg, that would be wrong.
Hope you all have a fab evening, whatever your flavour of celebration!

That cracked me up! Our cats are asleep upstairs and Max is barking at the fireworks.

It's actually a series of films about a local PI called Vares and based on a series of novels by a local author. My building and dozens of familiar places can be seen in many of them, but this latest one was filmed mainly at varius backyards.

Happy New Year, Anneri! That's a lovely pic. I did not check out the fireworks this year even though I can see some from my windows. I just loved too much my sofa

Nice! I had about 8. Children eventually went to bed around 1.15 am, we watched 3 films and the fireworks in London on telly. Then I watched a couple of comedies on telly and nodded off, eventually got into bed around 3 am. Up at 10.30. Popped to Guildford to check out the sales, but only got a nice top, no make up or nail polish.

Here's my new year mani, inspired by fireworks. I used Barry M Black as the base and starburst nail vinyls with Beauty UK Intergalactic. On the accent nails I used Claire's Festive Fun. I really like it and had been planning on doing it for NYE, so I'm pleased!





By the way, I finally updated my nail polish spreadsheet and I have 2435 nail polishes.

This includes a few duplicates and doesn't include my own creations. I definitely need to go on a very low buy this year. That said, PQ have you seen the new Glam Polish Hairspray collection?

New Enchanted colours are up. They are all cremes, though, black, red and mint. I don't know, 16$ for a plain black creme? Can't be better than A England's Camelot and that is approx 10$.

Nice sparkly new year nails!
So many polishes, I refuse to count mine!
Oh no, more glams! Actually, that pic isn't screaming to me to buy them all, the ones on my wishlist are much more appealing - fortunately!

Thanks for the heads-up, but nah, not for me either. Don't like the mint at all, black is black so who cares, and although I like the red, adding shipping charges to the already hefty price means I'd rather buy one down the chemist, it doesn't look that special. Oddly enough, I have dozens of lovely reds which probably look much nicer than this one.
And still available about 10 mins after you posted here, suggests we're not alone in skipping this release!

I absolutely agree. I really loved 2am Summer Night and August 2014 so I was hoping for more along these colours. The site was down for "maintenance" for a couple of days and everyone was excited. And now the reveal... cremes. I see people on FB buying these without looking what they actually are and now they are regretting it.

Nice! Today is a bank holiday here (as well as the 25th and 26th of December), so no sales. I have not really checked out them yet. For the first two days I was away and on the third day I grabbed two Dior np and a pair of trouses I had wanted earlier for something like +80% off!

Nice mani! It does make me think of fireworks.

I have to do the 2014 count, too. I know the number, just have to check it. I was too busy today, so I forgot.

(no, not looking at new brands)


Well, I'm pissed off just for the priciple. I noticed the maintenance and the restock happened of course just when I was taking a shower! I noticed it about 30 minutes too late, and even after that it took her more then 30 minutes to pronounce them SO!

Nighttime sparkle!


And the blues are back!
Thanks. It was also bank holiday here today, but most of the shops were open.

About the new Enchanteds, just how boring are they? I wouldn't have bought them even if I'd caught the restock. Meh.

And what was I putting on my nais last night? EP of course! This is January 2014 with KBS Flake Dance.



I also checked my NP count, it was correct. Seems that I have bought a bit more than one per day last year. Not good. I aim for less this year.

Forgot to comment about the EP boxes. My box says 27 USD, and also the previous box I happened to still have at home says the same. For some reason the customs is not interested in them here.

Hm, I checked my EP box, too, and it says 27 $ as well. Which is weird because I still have a box I got in July and that one says 18$ despite both having been for 3 polishes each. So she's changed it for whatever reason.... I think the value that is relevant for customs might be different from country to country. It's 22 € in Germany and the 27 $ is actually a couple of cent above that so I was lucky customs didn't bother. They mostly are kinda generous here if the amount that has to be paid is under 5 € and they just let it go through.

I love the accents with the KB Shimmer, it's really pretty!

Go on, do tell! How many?

Nice mani. I don't have EP January 2014.
